Yes, it would be very difficult to code, I'd imagine. I was just wondering out loud. Actually, since it's called "Torment" maybe every monster attack adds that damage over time lightning effect...THAT would be torment!

It would be a neat mechanic if, as difficulty increased, the strategy if the monsters changed as well as just a health/damage increase. Maybe they would be less susceptible to the warrior trait that causes them to attack the tank, or they would know to gang up on a priest or mage to knock out the groups healer/main damage source.

Heh, when I searched for "Abyss Mage" with the quotes, it brought up this thread and its replies!

It'll only really matter if you're reviving characters in combat, but that's a very powerful application of the spell, so it's still a meaningful difference. Or casting return life does damage to undead monsters!

Just an aside, but this area has been my favorite so far in terms of the layout of the dungeon. The undead spiral was pretty good too.

This is one of those quests that seems like it takes forever to complete. After you do so, you can't enter a cave or fort without tripping over all the picks and shovels laying about.

Does anyone actually use the "avoid" option? I fight everything, no matter how one sided the fight is. That said, cave lore should let you avoid those annoying traveling merchants.

This game needs some sort of built in clock. Bonus points if it could be set to alarm at a certain time so I don't keep accidentally playing for so many more hours then I had intended to.

No, the Priest spell is turning water into Almerian wine!
