questions to everyone

Originally posted by NiceWorg: 1) Do you ever play the game the way that you only sleep when you characters are asking for it? Say, you play for 16 GH and hang on with the spells you have, and sleep when they (or him/her) start complaining about getting tired. I mean, you don´t sleep 8 hours every 2 hours in real life either.. I´ve found the game much more challenging that way, although frustrating. 2) Do you think the game is well balanced? I often run into guests which are meant for characters of five levels higher. (ie. Stone Golems at Docks, not easy with level 9 and below party) 3) How would you do, or what tactic would you use, without fllowing spells: Haste, Web, Fireball, Cloudkill. I only ask because many powergamers use them, ie, Haste is too powerful, should be 5-6th level spell instead of 3rd.

1.Usually,or sometimes when I am all out of spells and need them desperately.
2.I agree.
3.The tactic would be same as now.Haste isnt really that important,maybe I woudnt charge with my mages so often.I dont usually use cloudkill,I have never used web (after once all my party members got stuck and died).In my opinion life without fireball is actually possible.Good that you didnt mention MMM,or magic missiles,they are my most used spells.

Facing Stone Golems are owned by lvl 7+ magic-users, even on insane difficulty. Just keep up your stoneskins and hurl Minute Meteors at them. Summon a spider (or something from a scroll you found) to draw their attention away from you if necessary.

As for the resting, a solo player only needs to take himself and time-oriented quests in consideration (Rest when out of spells)

The game gets more balanced when you're more experienced and thats a great thing.

Cloudkill is accessible through a wand and haste is just right.
