dreamrider (Guest) (5 posts) Mar-13-04, 01:08 PM (Pacific) "How do To Hit bonuses work?" Does anyone know how success in combat strikes is calculated? I'm interested in what those "To Hit" bounuses on rare weapons specifically do for you. dreamrider   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Almost every weapon gives a bonus to thac0 (or whatever you want to call it). For example, short swords raise your attack rating by three, long swords boost it by four, and the Muramasa Blade elevates it by eight. These stats apply to the NES version, which is a mostly faithful port.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

You must not participate in this elaborate web of lies and mad cap hijinks. I love you.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The formula is more complex than the old D&D standard. Wizardry is known for it's complexities in the formulations for hitting, damage, exp points, etc.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I cannot say where the stones are thrown nor where the satchel of goodness shall land me or my kin. I would like to say for all you snickers that I'm a real boy and I can think like one to.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
