"Question about Initative - Just what effects it?"
In his item posts Frazzle note that some items give an initative bonus. I thought I knew all the info about items (from Wizgold online help) but I haven't seen anything about initative bonus's connected with items. Just where in the hex item data is the initative byte? Do many weapons have it? Does +1 initative correspond to +1 speed for combat purposes?
There are spells like Haste and Superman. I cast these sometimes but find it hard to quantify the effect these spells have. To save me the time of running tests does anyone know how effective these spells are?
My understanding is that spells like these last combat only. There aren't any spells other than the obvious three that you can cast before combat to improve your chances are there?
P.S. just got my lunch handed to me by a party of Shamans, Warders and a Gorn Lord ;-( . I'm back to Orkorgre now to seek revenge.

P.S. If I gave my Mage a initative bonus weapon. Would he cast spells any faster(I wouldn't think so but you never know...)
