Trying to do the Math: AC vs. -DFE?

[lyyn]

I'm not going to play him as a magic user, but now I can see trying to get at least a usable TPortal slvl.

TP counts as “using magic”? How do you not go crazy without it?

Keep in mind this particular Barbarian has IMO, one of the luckiest streaks so far. And since this is SP, there are SP only items that greatly benefits him ie Veil of Steel. With that and a Nightscape robe he got off a Laz run, he's now a -60 light radius stealth raider.

Sounds sneaky, I like it. Not exactly my first asociation when I hear Barbarian, but fun. I guess I should try one... My last ditch effort at a melee char.
I even twinked my last attempt at a warrior to the high heavens, hoping that if I get to my favourite age (between 20 – 30) faster, he might be able to sustain my interest. Didn't work. Although... he does make a very good looking mule
Maybe this time will be different, never wielded an axe before...
How do you find enough Infravision? I usually buy/horde any Infravision scroll in sight for emergencies. There never seems to be one available when you really need them. I even have a extra Mule for them.

Sadly nope. On the upside, with SP HF it at least gives me the option of NM\Hell games.

VirtualPC with an XP-image? IPX is installed in the image? Still doesn't work? Hmm...
Maybe if you try VMWare instead of VirtualPC? Never really trusted Microsoft to fully keep the host/VM separated...

PS: two little questions that don't really warrant a new thread:

- is it possible to change a char name without logging on to b.net (still playing HF:Fixed)
- is it possible to change the graphics of the armor type you are wearing? Not the actual picture in the inventory, but your appearance when you wear it?
