Seasoned Roamer rist Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Usually there's a pdf with more depth than the in-game manual. I have the steam version but there appears to be no manual in the directory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Caribou16 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I don't have the game in front of me, but I recall there being an in-game guide accessible from the main menu which explains many concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If there isn't one in the installed location (Program Files?), I've ]uploaded a copy here: http://nikkis-nook.hallsofchaos.net/Avernum%20Instructions.pdf (Guess the boards don't like linking to PDFs. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 But I don't see why the manual should be missing in the Steam version. Oh well. *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasoned Roamer rist Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 From the in-game guide: "Complete Credits are available in the Avernum Instructions.pdf" Was mostly looking for designer commentary from Jeff + combat appendices. Other than that: Does 10 ranks in hardiness give 30% DR or ~26%DR (1-0.97^10)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasoned Roamer rist Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 From the manual: "Here are lists of all of the mage and priest spells in Avernum: Escape From the Pit, along with the minimum skill to cast them and their cost in spell energy. Many of the spell descriptions refer to your spell strength, which is described in the previous chapter." The lists seem to have been written in ninja-ink because the next sentence I see is: "Chapter 11: Tips for Getting Started" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk ShieTar Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Jeff had originally included a list of spells, but the empire censored it on account of magics being illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fledgling Fyora Nelldogg Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hi Everyone, I just got this game from Steam and was also looking for a pdf of the manual and the link posted above doesn't seem to work any more. It's not a huge deal since the instructions are available in-game, but I just got the hintbook from the Spiderweb store and wanted to put both the manual and hintbook on my Kindle to reference while getting started. If anyone has the manual and is willing to send/upload it or can point me toward a place to download it, I would greatly appreciate it!

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) If you go here and download the demo (and unzip it), you should find the game instructions file in the same folder. You ought to be able to drag the pdf out, delete the demo folder, and continue on your merry way. Edited November 24, 2012 by Triumph Forgot the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Nelldogg Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Excellent - I got it! Thank you for the quick response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
