<h1>General</h1> |
| 15 |
This guide is intended to present the player to his opponents and the |
| 16 |
``tools'' of his trade. The tables in this guide are generated |
| 17 |
completely from the crossfire source, so you may sometimes see |
| 18 |
monsters or items here before they can be encountered in the game. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
<h3>Enchantments</h3> |
| 21 |
Enchanted items are items that is better than the basic type. |
| 22 |
They are identified by the <em> +1</em>, <em> +2</em>, <em> +3</em> or <em> +4</em> at |
| 23 |
the end of the item name. |
| 24 |
Also, the higher the number, the rarer the item is. |
| 25 |
The enchantments affect the value, weight and effect of the item; |
| 26 |
i.e. for armour its <em> ac</em> (armour class), |
| 27 |
for weapons its <em> wc</em> (weapon class). |
| 28 |
Items that already have a magical effect are never enchanted. |
| 29 |
|

<h1>Maxstats</h1> |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The following table shows the maximum value the different player |
| 33 |
classes can reach in a stat. It also shows how your basic stats will |
| 34 |
be changed by choosing a different class. When you roll your |
| 35 |
character, the stats displayed are the stats you will get as a human. |
| 36 |
When satisfied, you can step through a number of classes, each with |
| 37 |
special bonuses in stats. |

A barbarian has a maximum strength which is 4 higher than a human -- |
| 49 |
that means he will begin with an additional 4 points added to his |
| 50 |
strength roll. On the other hand, a barbarian can never get above 12 |
| 51 |
in intelligence. This means that your rolled character will have 8 |
| 52 |
less in intelligence if you choose that class. It also means that you |
| 53 |
can't be a barbarian if you roll less than 8 in intelligence -- the |
| 54 |
poor barbarian would have had a negative stat. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
You can never roll a character with better stats than an average of |
| 57 |
straight 15's, and you can't roll higher than 18 in a stat. These |
| 58 |
values are the maximum values for your ``natural'' dexterity, |
| 59 |
constitution etc. You can raise your natural stats by drinking |
| 60 |
potions. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
However, there are plenty of items which give you bonuses to your |
| 63 |
stats even <b> beyond</b> your class' limit -- swords, armours and rings to |
| 64 |
name the most important. You can also read scrolls or cast spells to |
| 65 |
temporarily raise your stats. The absolute maximum value is 30, and |
| 66 |
the player class doesn't matter here. |

<h1>Weapons</h1> |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
<h3>Weapons</h3> |
| 71 |
Notice that the weight and damage differs on seemingly equal weapons. |
| 72 |
We suggest that you wield the <b> identified</b> weapons, |
| 73 |
to choose the better one. |

<h3>Bows</h3> |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
The <b> rate</b> column in the following table shows the relative rate |
| 94 |
of fire. E.g. to cock a bow with a ``rate of fire'' of 1/2, you |
| 95 |
need only half the time of what is needed with a bow with a ``rate of |
| 96 |
fire'' of 1/1. |
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
The damage done by the impact of a bolt fired from a crossbow is |
| 99 |
constant. However, with an ordinary bow you can pull the arrow |
| 100 |
further back if you are strong, and it would thus do more damage. |

<h3>Special weapons</h3> |

This section shows the different ``Special weapons'' which exist in |
| 113 |
crossfire. Although the weapons are supposed to be unique, there may |
| 114 |
exist several of them... |

<h1>Armour</h1> |
| 124 |
|
| 125 |
Armour is essential to surviving in Crossfire. |
| 126 |
The basic idea is that the less <em> ac</em> (armour class) you have -- the more |
| 127 |
difficult you are to hit. |
| 128 |
The <em> armour</em> value represents the reduction in physical damage in percent. |
| 129 |
There are several types of armour in Crossfire.You may only wear <b> one</b> |
| 130 |
of the different main types of armour (except magical armour). |
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
The different main types consist of these : |
| 133 |

<h1>Magic</h1> |
| 173 |
|
| 174 |
Magic is brought into play by various means. The only way to actually |
| 175 |
learn the spells, is to read them from a book. Both scrolls and books |
| 176 |
will disappear after being read (<b> applied</b> actually). Magic that |
| 177 |
comes from quaffing (<b> applying</b>) a potion will stay in effect over |
| 178 |
a period of time. Naturally not all magic found in wands |
| 179 |
would be found in e.g. scrolls etc.<em> Scroll of large fireball</em> or |
| 180 |
<em> Potion of poison</em> would be ridiculous. |
| 181 |
<p> |
| 182 |
The <em> Wonder</em> spell will produce random magic (rather unpredictable). |

<h1>Monsters</h1> |
| 193 |
|
| 194 |
The monsters are your opponents in Crossfire. Actually the only way |
| 195 |
to gain experience in this game is to bash monsters (or your fellow |
| 196 |
players, but you probably won't last long if you choose that route to |
| 197 |
``fame''). The more <em> hitpoints</em> the monsters have, the longer it |
| 198 |
takes to kill the suckers. Unfortunately, the monsters tend to strike |
| 199 |
back... Thus the stronger the monsters are -- the more damage you |
| 200 |
take, and vice versa. |
