CLERIC/TIEA cleric/thief has more and a betterarmor class than a pure thief . A s acleric, the cleric/thief can cast healingand support spells, allowing thecharacter to perform double duty asboth the party thief and additionalhealer. The thief stat us permits thepowerful back stab attack which isdescribed in the Combat section .

CLERICA cleric is essential for healing the partyafter an engagement . The most efficientway to h eal is to Encamp a nd select I(you can issue this command severaltimes while encamping) . ix works asfollows

I f a c l e r i c i s i n t h e p a r t y , a l l a v a i l a b l e

cure spells are cast until all charactersare healed . If the party has ta ken moredamage than clerics have cure spells,the fix option may be used again . Whenfix is used, characters at the top of thelist w ill be healed before the charac tersbelow them .

If a cleric is not in the party, maybe recovered through rest (1 per hour period), potions or Templeservices .

RANQERRangers normally start the game withmore tha n other fighter types . Theydo extra damage versus giant typemonsters .

NIGTnights are powerful fighters and arenecessary to comp lete some uests .There are some magic items that mayonly be used by knight characters .

IED CLASSixed class charac ters in general arevery valuable for their many skills andare worth the slower rate at which theywill advance in levels .

REARATION TISThe makeup of your party affects yourcombat strategy throughout the game .Loading your party with clerics andmages increases the importance ofspell casting both before and during abattle . An emphasis on knights andrangers makes your hand toha nd combat skills that much more important .

At the beginning of the game, go to theArmoury . ool your money and purchase the following euipment

or fighters, rangers, ands p l i t class fighters Ring ail Short owShield 0 Arrows L o ng S w ords Sling

o r thievesLea t her A rmor 0 A rro w s L o ng S w ords SlingS h ort o w

or clerics Ring ail a c esShield S t a f f S l i n g

or mages Quarter Staffs 100 Darts

or anyender character oopaks

The reason for purchasing of each ofthe melee weapons is to combat aazDraconians . When a aaz dies, it willsometimes pull a weapon f rom a character's hand . The weapon is notretrieved until after combat .

After purchasing the euipment, sharethe money from the pool and ready thenew euipment. To start, ready themelee weapons (swords, maces,uarter staffs) instead of the missileweapons (bows, slings, darts) . e sureto ready the arrows too .

CombatCombat occurs often . Combat takesplace on a tactical map . This map is amore detailed view of the map terrain(D or wilderness) that th e party was onwhen the c ombat w as triggered . T h i smap is overlaid with a suare grid thatis not visible on your screen .

As you move cha racters, you will noticethat everything moves on the grid fromsuare to suare . oving diagonallyoften costs more movement pointsthan moving horizontally or vertically .

I N I T I A T I V E

Each round of c ombat is divided into 10segments . Which segment a character

croup of Draconians

or monster acts in depends on hisinitiative number . This is a randomlygenerated number for each charactera n d mo nster. This random number isgenerated at the beginning of eachcombat round and is modified by dexterity bonuses or penalties and rando mfactors (such as surprise) to arrive at theinitiative number .

Sometimes a c haracter will act insegment 10 of o ne round and segment1 in the next, ap pearing to act twice ina row . This is especially common if youuse the DELA command. When theDELA command is given, thatcharacter's action will be delayed untilsegment 10 .

In combat, the player controls theactions of Cs. The computer cont rolsthe act ions of monsters, NCs, and Csset to computer control with the AUTOcommand .
