- I recently downloaded a copy of DOD4.0 and when I get to a certain point in
- the game I go to choose a weapon but get the respone that "weapon cannot be
- wielded". This happens regardless of the weapon chosen.
- Can anyone help mm Thanks. --John Cartwright

- If you are wielding either the two-handed sword or a combination of two other
- weapons (the shield is considered a weapon) you must first "unwield" one of
- them before wielding another weapon. <Baldy>

- Just a quick question, has anyone figured out how/if one can throw potions
- in DofD?? (Best score to date: 146,800 pts./11th dungeon lev./13th level

- My friend and I made it all the way through, and never were able to throw any
- potions. I'm not sure why I would want to, either. In Rogue (the original
- Unix game that inspired DofD) it is often useful to weild a wand of striking,
- but DofD doesn't appear to allow that, either. I think the difference is that
- in rogue, you were sometimes allowed to specify objects that were not listed
- as choices for the operation, so realizing that weilding the striking wand is
- most of the puzzle. In DofD, since everything is done by choosing from a
- menu, it would be too obvious that you are allowed to weild wands or throw
- potions, so he didn't bother making them useful.

- A COUPLE OF THINGS: THE WISHES ARE VALUABLE IF YOU USE THEM CORRECTLY. YOU
- MIGHT WANT TO WISH FOR POTION, ETC. WHICH WILL INCREASE YOUR STRENGTH,
- CONSTITUTION, OR DEXTERITY, OR EVEN YOUR INTELLIGENCE OR WISDOM. YOUR FIGHTERS
- OKNIGHTS, WITH MORE MENTAL CAPACITIES CAN HANDLE WAND BETTER. I REREAD THE
- MESSAGE ABOUT WIELDING THE WEAPONS. NOT ONLY CAN YOU ONLY WIELD ONE WEAPON AT
- A TIME, BUT IF YOU WIELD A CURSED WEAPON, YOU ARE STUCK WITH IT, WHICH WILL
- ALSO KEEP YOU FROM WIELDING. WHAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO, (THE IDEA WORKS WITH
- POTIONS ALSO) IS TO SAVE THE GAME WIELD THE WEAPON, THEN SEE IF YOU CAN REMOVE
- IT. WITH POTIONS YOU CAN FIND THE VALUABLE ONES, THEN DROP THE BAD ONES.JUST
- KEEP NOTES AND CONTINUE THE SAME GAME. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE
- GEMS? THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TOO MUCH USE TO ME. MOST RINGS CAN BE A DRAG ALSO
- THOUGH IF YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH, IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET SOME EXPERIENCE
- IWHILE YOU SAVE ON FOOD. JUST STAY IN ONE PLACE AND LET THEM COME TO YOU.
- EXACTLY WHAT WILL A REGENERATION RING DO?

- To M. P. Allen: Sure you can wield more than one weapon at a time. You've got
- two hands, and most weapons only use one. Question: Would anyone care to tell
- me the use of Words on a Scroll, or the Life Potion?

- okay dofd fans-can anyone tell me this? when does the game end. I mean I've
- been down to the very bottom several times, built a wel-neigh invincible
- character and returned figuring I'd just step out the top only to be told the
- orb still won't let me go. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? WHO DO I HAVE TO SLAY?! I
- even made it down there and zapped that thing in the middle with digging
- wands. nothing. great game--poor finish. Observations?

- I am now just on level 7 .. are there 40 of these suckers? Also I notice that
- some of you "build" characters ... the only way I find to build someone is to
- find objects and so far, only Consitution and Charisma. More to follow? Oh
- yes... after experiencing the "Elevn Cloak" does the sting of the scorpion do
- much...hard to avoid. Thanks in advance for the help Sparks
