Lines: 14 It's been my experience (mostly with 5.2, where I have won 4 or 5 games) that the most useful things are: [1] Good armor (e.g. plate mail with enchantments) [2] A two-handed sword with enchantments [3] A ring of stealth If you can genocide U's, your chances are much improved. It also helps to have one or more of: scare monster, slow monster and teleport away. I have won with just [1] - [3], though. rick floyd uucp: (seismo | allegra)!rochester!rick arpa: rick@rochester
