CHARACTERS AND PARTIES

You need a party of adventurer PlayerCharacters (PCs) to play THE DNi QUEEN OF

KRYTIN . You must choose the following foreach character: a race, a class, and analignment . After you select these, thecomputer generates a set of ability scoresthat define your new character's naturalstrengths and weaknesses . To build aparty you must make a mix of charactersthat have the range of skills needed forsuccess, and then band them together .

Player RacesThere are seven races from which youmay construct player characters, eachwith different talents and limitations .Tables beginning on page 49 summarizethe racial class limitations and abilityscore modifiers. The following describeseach race and tells which classes areopen to them .

Hill Dwarves are a stubborn and roughrace of sturdy workers and craftsmen .They are especially resistant to magic andpoison. During combat, dwarves receivebonuses when attacking goblins or hob-goblins, and are adept at dodging theattacks of ogres and giants . Dwarves canbe fighters, thieves, rangers, clerics ofReorx, or mixed classes.

Mountain Dwarves are somewhat clan-nish and more refined than their HillDwarf cousins, otherwise they are nearlyidentical . Mountain dwarves may be fight-ers, paladins, thieves, clerics of Reorx, ormixed classes .

Silvanesti Elves (High Elves) are a tall,arrogant, and long-lived race . They arenearly immune to sleep and charm spells,and are adept at finding hidden doors .During combat, elves receive bonuseswhen attacking with swords or bows . Theycannot be raised from the dead . Silvanestielves can be fighters, paladins, magic-users,clerics, rangers, and mixed classes .

Qualinesti Elves are slightly smaller andfriendlier than their Silvanesti brethren,but they have identical abilities andbonuses. Qualinesti elves can be fighters,rangers, magic-users, thieves, clerics andmixed classes.

Half-Elves are hybrids, with many of thevirtues of both humans and elves . Liketheir elf ancestors, they are resistant tosleep and charm spells, and are adept atfinding hidden doors. Half-elves can befighters, knights, magic-users, clerics,thieves, rangers, and mixed classes .

Kender are a small people characterizedby an absolute lack of fear, and an insa-tiable curiosity . They are especially resis-tant to magic and poison, and have thespecial ability to taunt intelligent oppo-nents. When kender successfully taunt, anopponent will attack in a mindless rage,suffering a loss of combat effectiveness .The preferred weapon of the kender is thehoopak, part staff-sling, part metal-shodstaff, which only they can use. Kenderreceive bonuses to hit with hoopaks, andare deadly accurate shots . They can bethieves, fighters, rangers, clerics or mixedclasses .

Humans are the most common player-race in the world of Krynn . Humans dohave the disability of shorter life-spansthan the other races. This may be a prob-lem if they are subjected to many hastespells, which age the hasted characterone year . They can be fighters, magic-users, clerics, thieves, paladins, rangers,and knights - but not mixed classes .

Ability ScoresEvery character has six randomly generat-ed ability scores as described below .These scores fall within a range deter-mined by the race and class of the char-acter . The base values range from 3 (low)to 18 (high) . There are tables of limita-tions, modifiers, and bonuses starting onpage 49 .

Depending on the character class, one ormore of these abilities will be a PrimeRequisite . A prime requisite is an abilityespecially valuable to a given class . Forexample, strength is key for fighters andwisdom for clerics . Most charactersreceive bonus experience points whentheir prime requisite scores are 16 orgreater . Non-human characters may havemodifiers to the basic ability scores toreflect differences between the races .

Dwarves for instance, get a+ l constitu-tion bonus and may have a maximumconstitution of 19 instead of 18 . All racialmodifiers are calculated automaticallywhen a character is generated .

Strength (STR) is the measure of a char-acter's physical power, muscle mass, andstamina. Fighter-type characters (fighters,paladins, and rangers) may have excep-tional strengths greater than 18 that areindicated by a percent value (01, 02, 03 . . .98, 99, 00) following the base strength .High strength increases a character's com-bat ability with melee weapons, such asswords or maces . Strength also determineshow much a character can carry withoutbecoming encumbered and slowed incombat .

Intelligence (IIYT) is the measure of howwell a character can learn . Intelligencelevel determines the maximum level ofspells a magic-user can cast .

Wisdom (WIS) is the measure of a char-acter's ability to understand the ways ofthe world and to interact with the world .Clerics receive bonus spells for high wis-dom, and wisdom determines the maxi-mum level of spells a cleric can cast .

Dexterity (DEX) is the measure of acharacter's manual dexterity and agility .Thieves especially benefit from high dex-terity. Dexterity affects how well a charac-ter can use ranged weapons (bows, dart,etc.), when he moves in a combat round,and how difficult he is to hit in combat .

Constitution (CON) is the measure of acharacter's overall health. Charactersreceive one extra hit point if their consti-tution is 15, and two points if it is 16 .Fighter-types (fighters, rangers, knights,and paladins) receive additional bonusesfor constitutions of 17 or 18 . A character'sconstitution also determines the maxi-mum number of times that character can

be raised from the dead with raise deador resurrection spells, and the chance ofa resurrection attempt being successful .Every time a character is successfully res-urrected, 1 point of constitution is lost.

Charisma (CHA) is the measure of howothers react to a character .

Charisma is sometimes a factor whenencountering NPCs - the higher a charac-ter's charisma, the more that charactercan persuade others to do what he wants .The character with the highest charismashould be the active character when deal-ing with IYPCs .

Character ClassesClasses are the characters' professions. Acharacter must be at least one characterclass. Non-human characters can be morethan one class at the same time . Thesemulti-class characters have more playingoptions, but move up in levels slowlybecause experience is divided evenlyamong all classes .

Characters receive hit points, spells, andabilities based on their class, level, and(sometimes) ability scores . Refer to thetables at the back of this journal to findthe number and size of hit dice a charac-ter receives, and the number of spells thecharacter can memorize .

Clerics have spells bestowed on them bytheir deity and can fight wearing armorand using crushing (no edged or pointed)weapons. After selecting an alignment,clerics may only choose a deity appropri-ate to their alignment . Each of the deitiesextend special abilities to their followers .For more information, see the "Deities"

section on page 13. Clerics have the abilityto sometimes turn away, or even destroyundead creatures such as skeletons orzombies. This power increases as the cler-ic increases in level . Clerics must memo-rize their spells just as magic-users, butthey do not use spell books. When clericsgain a new spell level, they can automati-cally memorize any of the available spellsfor that level . The prime requisite for cler-ics is wisdom .

Fighters can fight with any armor orweapons, but they cannot cast magicspells. All fighter-types (fighters, paladins,knights, and rangers) gain the ability toattack more than one time per roundwhen they reach higher levels . They canalso have exceptional strength ; gainingadditional hit point bonuses if they have aconstitution of 17+ . The prime requisitefor fighters is strength .

Paladins are a type of fighter, and canfight with any armor or weapons . They areresistant to spells and poison, and canturn undead creatures as if they were acleric two levels below their current pal-adin level . Paladins are also always sur-rounded by the equivalent of a protectionfrom evil 10' radius spell. Paladins mayheal two hit points of damage per levelonce a day. They may cure disease oncea week for every five levels of experience .For example, once a week at Ist-5th levels,twice a week at 6th-10th levels, etc . Theycan use cleric spells when they reach 9thlevel, although they can never use clericalscrolls . They advance in spell-casting abili-ty until 20th level .

Paladins must be of lawful good align-ment, and they will not knowingly adven-ture with any evil characters . They musthave ability scores of at least 9 in intelli-gence and constitution, at least 12 instrength, at least 13 in wisdom, and atleast 17 in charisma . The prime requisitesfor paladins are strength and wisdom .

Rangers are a type of fighter, and canfight with any armor or weapons. They doadditional damage when fighting giant-class creatures . Rangers must be of goodalignment and have ability scores of atleast 13 in strength and intelligence, and .at least 14 in wisdom and constitution .They can use druid spellss when theyreach 8th level, and magic-user spellswhen they reach 9th level . Their spell-casting ability advances until 17th level .Rangers can never use scrolls of any type .The prime requisites for rangers arestrength, intelligence, and wisdom.

Solamnic Knights are the pride of chival-ric honor in the world of Krynn . Theknights are divided into three orders : theKnights of the Crown, the Knights of theSword, and the prestigious Knights of theRose. All are renowned for their braveryand skill at arms . Knights begin the gamewith Solamnic Plate Mail, helm +2, longsword +2, and a shield +2 .

Knights are valuable for their leadershipability in combat . Whenever a party with aKnight enters combat, he makes a leader-ship check. If the check is successful allNPCs in the party come under your con-trol like regular PCs . Chance of successincreases dramatically as a Knight risesthrough the three orders.

If a Knight of either of the first two orders(Crown or Sword) is of sufficient level,and has high enough ability scores, hemay petition the next higher order foradmission. When Knights of the Sword orthe Rose become sixth-level, they gain theability to cast some clerical spells .

Note: Knights receive experiencebonuses for doing knightly deeds andnot for meeting prime requisitesminimums .

To join the Knights of the Sword a knightmust have the following minimum abilityscores: STR 12, INT 9, WIS 13, DEX 9,CON 10 .

To join the Knights of the Rose a knightmust have the following minimum abilityscores: STR 15, INT 10, WIS 13, DEX 12,CON 15 .

Magic-Users have powerful spells, butcan use no armor and few weapons . Theycan only memorize those spells availablein their personal spell books. Magic-usersmay add entries to their spell books when-ever they go up in level or find scrollswith spells of levels that they are able toscribe . In the world of Krynn, the powerof magic-users is moderated by the threemoons, and magic-users are divided intothree orders based on alignment . Amagic-user's power fluctuates with thecycles of the moon that influences hisorder. For more information on the ordersand moons see the "Magic" section (page12) . The prime requisite for magic-users isintelligence .

Thieves have special skills for openinglocks and removing traps, but are limitedto using swords, short bows, slings, andleather armor. In combat they do addi-tional damage by 'back stabbing,' whichis described in the Combat section .Starting at 10th level, thieves can deci-pher some magical writing and have achance of casting spells from magic-userscrolls. The prime requisite for thieves isdexterity .

Multi-class characters are non-humanswho belong to two or more classes at thesame time. Multi-class characters' experi-ence points are divided among each of theclasses, even after they can no longeradvance in one or more of those classes.Their hit points per level are averagedamong their classes. Multi-class charactersgain all the benefits of all their classeswith regard to weapons and equipment .

AlignmentAlignment is the philosophy a characterlives by, and can affect how NPCs andsome magic items react to a character . Thepossibilities range from believing stronglyin society and altruism (lawful good) tobeing anarchistic and actively unpleasant(chaotic evil) . Alignment is presented intwo parts : World View and Ethics .

World ViewLawful indicates that the character valuesthe structure and rules of society .

Neutral indicates that the character val-ues both the individual and society .

Chaotic indicates that the character val-ues the individual over society .

EthicsGood indicates that the character tries toact in a moral and upstanding manner .

Neutral indicates that the character leanstowards "situational ethics," evaluatingeach set of circumstances .

Evil indicates that the character acts with-out regard to others, or in an overtlymalignant manner. Player characters can-not be evil .

Other AttributesEach character also has three importantvalues that change as the game goes on :hit points, experience points, and levels .

lilt Points measure the amount of dam-age a character can take before he goesunconscious . A character's maximum hitpoints are based on the hit dice for thecharacter's class and level, plus anyadjustments for constitution . A charactergains a hit point bonus to each hit die ifhis constitution is over 14 .

Note: Dice (d) is the term used todescribe the range for a randomly gen-erated number. Dice are referred to bythe range they represent. A d6 has arange from I through 6, a d 10 has arange from I through 10 . Hit dicerefers to the base range of hit points acharacter class may have . For exam-ple, a 3rd level fighter has a base of 3d 10 hit dice, or 3-30 hit points .

When a character takes enough damagethat his hit points reach 0, he is uncon-scious. If the character's hit points dropto anything from -I to -9, he will lose I hitpoint per turn from bleeding until he isbandaged or dies. If a character has -10hit points or less, he is dead . Hit pointson the screen will never be displayed asless than 0 .

Experience Points are a measure ofwhat a character has learned while adven-turing . Characters receive experiencepoints for actions such as fighting mon-sters, finding treasures, and successfully

completing quests . The computer keepstrack of experience, and when charactersearn enough, they may advance in levels .See the Level Advancement Tables begin-ning on page 55 for experience require-ments .

New characters start the game with1,000,001 EXF, which puts most single-class characters at about 12th level .

Levels are a measure of how much acharacter has advanced in his class .When they have enough experiencepoints, characters may go to a traininghall and receive the training required toincrease in level . Characters may onlyadvance one level at a time .

If a character has gained enough experi-ence to go up two or more levels sincethe last time he has trained, he goes upone level, and lose all experience in excessof one point below the next level .

Example:

An 9th level thief enters a training hallwith 375,000 experience points(enough for 11th level) . He will leaveas a 10th level thief with 220,000experience points-one point below11th level .

Characters cannot train for new levelsonce they have reached the maximumlevels allowed .

Building a Successful PartyForming a strong and adaptable party is akey to success in THE DARK QUEEN of KRYNN .

Up to six Player Characters (PCs) may bein a party-a party with fewer is less pow-erful and more likely to be eliminated byopponents .

Include a variety of classes in a party toget a good mix of skills. Here are twosample parties:

Sample Party # 1 :

I Human Knight1 Human PaladinI Dwarf RangerI Kender Cleric ofMishakal/Thief1 Qualinesti Elf Cleric ofShinare/Fighter/Red Robe Mage

1 Silvanesti Cleric ofMajere/Fighter/White Robe Mage

Sample Party #2 :

1 Human KnightI Silvanesti Elf Cleric of Mishakal/Fighter/White Robe Mage

I HalfElf Ranger/Cleric of Majere1 Qualinesti Elf Cleric ofShinare/Fighter/Red Robe Mage

I Kender Cleric of Kiri Jolith/Thief1 Qualinesti Elf Fighter/Red RobeMage

Why These Classes?Cleric/Fighter/Magic-Users are the ulti-mate multi-purpose character . Acleric/fighter/magic-user can cast bothmagic-user and cleric spells while wieldingthe armor and weapons of a fighter. Themain disadvantage of the cleric/fighter/magic-user is that, as a triple-class charac-ter, they advance in levels quite slowly .

Fighter/Magic-Users may cast spellswhile wearing armor . This split class canfight as well as a fighter and receivesmore hit points than a pure magic-user .

Cleric/Thieves have more hit points anda better armor class than pure thieves . Asa cleric, the cleric/thief can cast healingand support spells, allowing the characterto perform double duty as both the partythief and additional healer . The thief sta-tus permits the powerful 'back stab'attack which is described in the "Combat"section .

Clerics are essential for healing the partyafter engagements . The most efficient wayto heal is to ENCAMP and select FIX (you canissue this command several times whileencamped) . FIX works as follows :

If a cleric is in the party, all available curespells are cast and automatically rememo-rized until all characters are healed . If theparty has taken more damage than clericshave cure spells, the FIX option may beused again. When FIX is used, charactersat the top of the list will be healed beforethe characters below them . If a cleric isnot in the party, hit points may be recov-ered through rest (1 HP per 24 hour peri-od), potions or Temple services .

Rangers normally start the game withmore HP than other righter types. They doextra damage versus giant monsters, andreceive magic and druidic spells at highlevel .

Knights are powerful fighters and thereare some items that may only be used bythem. Knights have special leadershipabilities and gain clerical spells at highlevels .

Paladins are great warriors. In addition totheir martial prowess, they have naturalprotection from evil 10' radius, healingpowers, and they gain clerical spells .

Preparation lips

Once the party has banded together,camp at the inn, ready equipment, andhave all spellcasters memorize spells .Finally, save the game before continuing .

I

COMBATAdventurers must battle their way throughmany dangerous foes to complete theadventure. The following, sections offersome more information and tips for combat .

Combat MapBattle takes place on a tactical combatmap that is a detailed view of the terrainthat the party was in when the combatbegan. This map is set up with an invisi-ble square grid .

initiativeEach round of combat is divided into 10segments, and every character and foe actson a specific segment based on a randominitiative number . Initiative is generated atthe start of each combat round, and ismodified by dexterity and random factorssuch as surprise . Characters can act ontheir initiative segment, or use the DELAY

command to hold action until the end ofthe round . Casting spells may take extratime to perform, so often a spellcaster willbegin a spell on his segment, but the spellwill not go off until a little later .

Computer ControlIn combat you control the actions of PCs .The computer controls the actions ofmonsters, NPCs, and PCs set to computercontrol with the QUICK command . If youhave a Knight or paladin in your party, hemay take control of NPCs at the start ofcombat by making a successful leader-ship check. A successful leadership checkputs NPCs under normal control for thatcombat.

Combat AbilityEach character's ability in combat isdefined by AC, THACO, and Damage .

Armor ClassA character's or monster's difficulty to behit is represented by armor class (AC) .The lower the AC, the harder the target isto hit . AC is based on readied armor anda dexterity bonus. Some magic items, suchas some bracers, also help improve AC .

THACOThe ability to hit enemies in melee or withmissile fire is represented by THACO .THACO stands for To Hit Armor Class 0.This is the number a character must 'roll'equal to or greater than to do damage ona target with an AC of 0 . The lower theTHACO, the better the chance to hit thetarget.

Note : the generation of a randomnumber is often referred to as a 'roll' .In determining the success of anattack, the number generated is from1 through 20 .

An attack is successful if the randomnumber is greater than or equal to theattacker's THACO minus the target's AC .THACO may be modified by things likerange, attacking from the rear, magicweapons, and magic spells .

Example :A fighter with a THACO of 5 attacking amonster with an AC of 3 would needto roll (THACO 5) - (AC 3) = 2+

But to hit a monster with an AC of -2he would need to roll (THACO 5) -(AC -2) = 7+

DamageDamage is the range of hit point loss theattacker inflicts and is based on theattacker's strength, weapon type, and anymagic bonuses the weapon has . The basedamage for each weapon is summarizedin the Weapons Table on page 51 .

Some monsters take only partial or nodamage from certain weapon types .Skeletons, for example, take only halfdamage from sharp or edged weapons,while some other monsters may only bedamaged by magical weapons .

AttackingThere are two basic types of attack : Meleeand Ranged (or Missile) . The followingdescribes each type and other rules gov-erning combat.

Melee CombatMelee combat is face-to-face fighting withweapons such as swords and maces. Onlywhen using melee weapons can charac-ters receive strength bonuses. Fighterscan sometimes overpower several smallfoes during melee combat, and thieveshave opportunities to 'back stab.'

Ranged CombatRanged combat is firing at distant enemieswith weapons such as bows or darts . Acharacter with a missile weapon (bow,sling, etc.) may not attack when adjacentto an enemy . Two arrows or three dartscan be fired per turn .

Multiple AttacksAfter seventh-level (eighth for rangers) allfighter-type characters increase the num-ber of attacks they make with meleeweapons. The first increase is three

attacks every two rounds, then two attacksevery round . See the Bonus Attacks forHigh Level Fighters table on page 50 .

All of a character's attacks are takenagainst his first target . If the first targetgoes down with the first attack, you canaim the remaining attack at another tar-get . Fighter-types may also 'sweep'through several weak opponents in onecombat round. When a character 'sweeps,'he automatically attacks all of the weakopponents.

Back StabbingA thief 'back stabs' if he attacks a targetfrom exactly opposite the first characterto attack the target . The thief may not'back stab' if he has readied armor heav-ier than leather . A 'back stab' has a betterchance of hitting the defender and doesadditional damage.

Saving ThrowsAttacks such as poison or spells do notautomatically have their full effect on atarget . Victims may get a saving throw toavoid some or all of the effect. If the sav-ing throw is successful, generally the tar-get suffers either no effect or only half-damage. Saving throws improve as char-acters gain levels .

Note: some monsters have naturalmagic resistance which decreases thechance that they will be affected byspells .

Combat MovementThe number of squares a character canmove is affected by carried weight, char-acter strength, and the kind of readiedarmor. A character's movement range isdisplayed on the View Screen and duringthe character's segment in combat .Combat movement is important for bothclosing quickly with opponents (and stop-ping missile fire) and fleeing from battlesthat are too tough .

Running AwayA character may flee from the battlefield ifhe moves faster than all enemies, but notif he moves slower than any enemies . Acharacter has a 50% chance to move offthe battlefield if he moves as fast as thefastest foe .

Exception : if a character can reach theedge of the combat map without any ofhis opponents being able to see him, hemay then flee successfully even thoughhe is slower than his opponents.

Returning to the PartyA character that moves off the battlefieldreturns to the party after the fight is over .If all active characters flee combat, anydead or unconscious characters are lost .Characters that flee a combat receive noexperience points for the battle .

Combat StrategiesTo succeed in combat, a skilled playerdeploys his party well, casts effectivespells before and during combat, maneu-vers his characters into advantageouspositions, and attacks using his mostpowerful characters and weapons .

Deploying the PartyWhen a battle begins, your party is auto-matically positioned based on the orderlist of the characters . Characters near thetop of the order are in the front lines andvulnerable to attack. To change the start-ing deployment, change the party orderfrom the ALT menu while encamped. Shiftthe heavily armored fighters up the listand the vulnerable magic-users andthieves toward the bottom . Party ordercannot be changed while in combat,although characters are free to move .

Your party may be placed in a bad posi-tion at the start of a battle . Get an idea ofthe situation, and move characters intobetter deployment. Sometimes the beststrategy is offensive : charging with fight-ers to close ground and stop enemymagic and missile fire. Other times thebest strategy is defensive : moving yourcharacters to anchor their flanks on anobstacle such as a wall or tree . Setting upbehind a doorway that your enemies haveto move through also makes for a verystrong defensive position . Always keepmagic-users and missile weapons safebehind the front line .

Wounded CharactersCharacters who are seriously injuredshould be cured or moved out of thefront lines if possible. Remember: if youmove away from an adjacent enemy, hegets a free attack at your back and has animproved chance to hit .

Stopping Ranged AttacksMissile weapons cannot be fired if there isan adjacent opponent . To stop enemymissile fire, move someone next to theopponent. If you want to fire missiles,keep away from the enemy .

Exploiting Enemies' WeaknessesExploit your opponents' weaknesses bydirecting attacks against helpless, wounded,or isolated foes . Concentrate your attacksto eliminate one opponent rather thaninjure many (exception : enemy spellcast-ers). A foe with one hit point remainingattacks as powerfully as an uninjured one .

If spellcasters are hit in a round, they loseany spells they are preparing to cast, andcannot cast for the remainder of thatround. Try to keep enemy spellcastersunder attack every round while protectingyour own .

After CombatIf one or more characters survive on thebattlefield at the end of combat, the bod-ies of unconscious or dead party mem-bers stay with the party . If the entire partyflees from combat, all unconscious anddead party members are permanentlylost. If ALL the party members are slain,go back to your last saved game and tryagain from that point .

MAGIC

Magic is integral to THE DARK QUEEN ofKRYNN . Magic-users and clerics, as well ashigh-level Knights, rangers, and paladinscan cast spells . Magic is essential to thesurvival of the party . Magic-users castmany powerful offensive and defensivespells . Clerics cast healing spells to revivewounded characters as well as bothdefensive and offensive spells . A spellcan exist in one of four forms: in a char-acter's memory, in a character's spell book,on a scroll, or in a wand . Memorizedspells are cast with the CAST command .Spells are memorized during rest whileencamped. Spells in scrolls or wands arecast with the USE command .

Memorizing a spell takes 15 minutes ofgame time per spell level, plus a prepara-tion period based on spell level :

Example:

To memorize two I st level spells, one2nd level spell, and one 3rd level spellwould take :

Magic-UsersThere are two orders of magic-users youcan play - White Robe Mages and RedRobe Mages . All good alignment magic-users are White Robe Mages and all neu-tral alignment magic-users are Red RobeMages. Evil magic-users are Black RobeMages. The few magic-users in the worldwho do not enter an order are called'Rogues,' and are attacked on sight by allof the other orders . Magic-users keepspell information in their personal spellbooks, and may only memorize spellsthat are recorded there .

When a magic-user trains for a new level,he selects a new spell to add to his spellbook. A magic-user can also scribe spellsfrom identified scrolls if he is of highenough level to cast them. A magic-usermust cast a read magic spell or have ascroll identified in a shop before he canscribe (or cast) from it. The scroll disap-pears after it has been scribed or cast .

Spheres ofMagic

The magic of Krynn operates in spheres,with the different schools of magic-usersonly able to manipulate certain of them ;spells castable by one order may not nec-essarily be cast by another. The "SpellParameters List" on page 52, and the"Spell Descriptions" beginning on page 24detail which magic-user orders can casteach spell .

ClericsClerical magic requires no spell books. Allclerical spells of the appropriate level arealways available to a cleric, the characterneed only memorize them . Unlike magic-users, clerics can cast spells from scrollswithout any preparation, although clericalscrolls also disappear after being cast .

Deities

Since the earliest days of Krynn, the wis-dom of the deities has been brought to allthe races through the efforts of the cler-ics, the mortal messengers of the will ofthe heavens . As a sign of favor, deitiesbestow upon their clerics special bonusesor additional spells. The following is a listof the deities of Krynn that are availableto characters, their alignment, and clericalbonuses :

RangersRangers use magic and druidic spells.They use magic spells identically tomagic-users and the druidic spells as cler-ics use their magic . Rangers can nevercast spells from scrolls, even if they canmemorize and cast the scroll spell nor-mally.

Tips on MagicBoth clerics and magic-users may castspells which assist the party in combat .Preparatory spells, such as bless orstrength, cast just before a tough battlecan protect or strengthen characters .Combat spells can be cast to damagefoes during combat . Healing spells can becast either during or after combat torevive wounded comrades .

Spells should be rememorized as soon aspossible after they are used. This is mostlikely to happen after combat. When incamp, have your spellcasters memorizespells and select REST to allow them toimprint the spells for later use . SelectingREST without choosing new spells has thespellcasters rememorize the spells theyhave cast since last resting .

Note : Before resting, it is a good ideato save your game-especially aftertough combats . Also, keep at least twoseparate saved games at all times andalternate between them . This will allowyou to go back to a save before thatlast, fatal battle or to try differentstrategies at key points .

MAGICAL TREASURESAs you travel about and encounter themonsters and puzzles that stand betweenyou and finishing your various quests, youwill find magical items to help you onyour way. You can find magic items in atreasure by casting a detect magic spellusing the DETECT command. To find outspecifically what an item is, you must takeit to a shop and have it identified .

Some magic items are in reality cursedand can do great harm. When a characterreadies a cursed item, a remove cursespell must be cast before the item can bedropped. Some magic items, such aswands or scrolls, may only be used bycertain classes. Others may not work at allif certain other magic items are also in use .

Here are descriptions of some items thatyou may find. Remember: Some items arevery rare, and you may not find all ofthem in your adventure .

Wands generally cast a set number of agiven spell (for example, 10 fireballs or15 magic missiles) . Only experimentationor paying to have them identified tellswhat a wand does. The USE commandallows a character to cast spells with areadied wand .

Potions may heal wounded characters,cause them to become hastened or invisi-ble, or cause any number of other effects .The USE command allows a character todrink a readied potion .

Scrolls carry either clerical or magic-userspells . A magic-user may use SCRIBE to per-manently transfer a scroll into his spellbook if the spell is of a level that he canmemorize. Magic-users and clerics canboth cast spells directly from scrolls withthe USE command, even if they could nototherwise memorize the spells . Scrollsdisappear after they have been used orscribed. Magic-users must cast read magic,or have scrolls identified in a shop beforescribing or casting from them . Also, thievesof 10th level or higher have a chance ofcasting spells from magic-user scrolls.

Enchanted Armor and Shields are cre-ated by skilled craftsmen and thenenchanted with protective spells . Thepower of the magic on these items variesa great deal . Enchanted armor has thegreat advantage of offering improved pro-tection with less encumbrance than thesame type of mundane armor. To usethese items, ready them from the ItemsMenu.

Enchanted Weapons come in manysizes, shapes, and potencies . Sometimesa weapon will add between one and fiveto your THACO and damage . Someweapons may have other fantastic magi-cal properties including extra bonusesagainst specific types of creatures . Once amagic weapon has been readied from theItems Menu, the character has it for allcombats .

Dragonlances are powerful enchantedweapons that were created for the War ofthe Lance to combat the evil dragons .They have large bonuses against any foe,but are deadly when attacking dragons,where they do the wielder's hit points indamage to the beast.

Enchanted Adornments such as brac-ers, necklaces, periapts, and especiallyrings are favorite objects for magicalenchantment . These items may have anynumber of magical properties . Someitems will help your AC, others may firemagic missiles, or offer protection fromfire-based attacks. Once one of theseitems has been readied from the ItemsMenu, a character automatically gains allof its effects . The exception to this rule isthat certain magical necklaces require theUSE command to work.

Enchanted Clothing can be such com-monplace items as gauntlets or cloaks,but they are imbued with powerfulenchantments. A wide variety of theseitems are known to exist. To use theseitems, READY them from the Items Menu .

Boring BeetleThese giant beetles favorrotting wood and similarorganic material upon

which to feed. They are usually foundinside huge trees or unused undergroundtunnel complexes .

DisirDisir are skulking monsterswhich are perpetually swathedin layers of poisonous slime .The slime protects a disir from

damage from fire, and it also afflicts aperson who is hit by a disir with momen-tarily severe agony, making it difficult forthe victim to attack the disir until theeffect of the toxin is overcome .

DraconianDraconians are special troops of theDragon Highlords . They are created bycorrupting the eggs of good dragons withvile sorceries . Because of their magicalorigins, all draconians are somewhatresistant to magic . There are six types ofdraconians:

AurakCreated from the eggs of golddragons, they attack with energy

bolts, poisonous gas clouds, or their clawsand fangs . When an aurak is slain, it turnsinto a blazing ball of attacking energy andthen explodes .

BaazMade from brass dragon eggs,they are the most common of

the draconians . When killed, baaz willturn to stone and then crumble into a pileof rubble . The weapon used to slay abaaz will sometimes be trapped in itscrumbling stone corpse and pulled fromthe attacker's hand.

BozakThese draconians were createdfrom bronze dragon eggs and

can cast spells in addition to attackingwith their claws and fangs. Bozaks explodewhen killed .

DragonsThese are some of the most powerful anddangerous monsters a party can encounter.The older and larger a dragon, the moredamage it can do and the harder it is tokill . In addition to their awesome strength,dragons inspire an insidious terror calleddragon fear. Many times the mere sight ofa dragon will cause opponents to panicand flee :

Amphi dragonThese creatures, aunique crossbreed of agreen dragon and a seadragon, are vast toad-

like inhabitants of swamps and oceanfloors. They are most at home underwater,although they can hop about on land .Amphi dragons can breathe a jet of deadlyacid upon their adversaries .

Black DragonThese dragons attack byspitting streams of acidand slashing with razorsharp claws and fangs .Since they are extremely

independent and only obey commands ifit suits their purpose, black dragons wererarely used in direct assaults by the evilDragon Highlords . They are more highlyvalued as guards.

Blue DragonHighly intelligent andgreatly feared, thesedragons exhale light-ning bolts and attack inmelee with claws and

fangs. Blue dragons are more gregariousthan many of their cousins. They obeyorders and can act and fight together as acohesive unit . They are loyal allies of theevil Dragon Highlords .

dead and rotting bodies remain animated .They breathe a lethal cloud of gas .

Green DragonThese dragons are noto-rious even among theother dragons for theircruel natures . They attackwith a poisonous breath,

and their claws and fangs . They will obeyorders, but only from leaders whom theyrespect. Clever and subtle, green dragonsprefer to use trickery and magic on anenemy rather than an all-out assault.

Red DragonPerhaps the most fearedof all the evil dragons,these beasts were thefavored assault force ofthe Dragon liighlord

armies during the War of the Lance. Notusually inclined to obey orders, red drag-ons enjoy nothing more than setting citiesablaze, destroying, and looting . Red drag-ons can exhale great spouts of flame, castmagic spells, or attack with their clawsand fangs.

"It is natural for other races to be resent-ful, or even to feel hatred toward theirbetters . These feelings may lead to ineffi-ciency and sloth . So next time, instead offlogging your human slave, try a gentlereprimand, or even a kind word, like, 'Iam not angry at you, only at the result ofyour actions.' This will instill more confi-dence in your slave, which may actuallyblossom into affection towards you.Remember, 'a happy slave is a productiveslave .'

I was just going out to look forwork, but then I saw you. Perhaps I canentertain you? Oh, you may wonder howa mere bard can survive this swamp .Well, I have some small talent for sooth-ing the ruffled beast ." With this, he strumsanother cacophonous chord.

Suddenly,the door bursts open and Baldric stormsinto the room . "Friends! I come bearinggrave news. The draconian army is evenlarger than we had feared!"

Driven by this new information, theCouncil agrees to a threefold plan . Theelite corps of gnome warriors, theCompany of the Dead, will ride the fire-fleets and attack the lower region of theTower of Flame. The gnome army, accom-panied by Baldric, Tremor, and Tasslehoff,will march on the draconian camp to thesouth. Meanwhile, you will ride the wind-ships and infiltrate the Tower from the topbalconies while the Dragons guaranteeyour safe entrance .

Just then, a gnome bursts into the room ."The clouds over the Lava Sea havebecome the face of the dark goddessErestem." There is no time to lose, theDark Queen has descended!

You don't knowDavik? Why, he's the architect of theTemple. Quite a celebrated man until he,well, you know. Every so often, HisEminent Lordship forgets how to open asecret lock or where a particular passagegoes, and hauls Davik out of the dungeonto demonstrate . Davik is a good cus-tomer; he sits still, and doesn't talk much .Well, there you go, fresh as can be!"

THE MAYOR'S STORY

"Thank you, thank you, kind champions.Those monsters destroyed our beautifultown and then herded us on board a shiplike cattle . They forced Aolan, a greatsailor, to steer the ship, and to sail straightacross the ocean . We told them there wasnothing there, that they were mad. Thenthey struck us and told us not to askquestions .

"While the monsters were busy fightingamong themselves, Aolan steered theship onto the rocks, hoping to give us achance to escape. But fate was cruel, theship did not sink immediately. The mon-sters were able to drag us ashore and intothese accursed caves. As for Aolan, theyrewarded his brave act by slitting histhroat. He died a hero .

"These monsters speak freely in front ofus. They constantly complain about notbeing able to complete their great journeyto the other side of the world. They saythe Dark Queen will be very displeasedwith them . I hope she strikes them alldead!

"As for that wench, Crysia, I know herwell. The traitor! They chose her fromamong us, and soon we saw her caringand grooming these disgusting monsters .Now they allow her to move aroundfreely, as if she were one of them . Shedeserves to be sent to the Abyss, whereshe can spend eternity with her consorts ."

On that note, he abruptly turns and crash-es headlong into the band drummer, whofalls over, thumping the tuba player in thestomach with his mallet. With an echoing"Pphblaaaat-ooofff," the tuba falls forwardknocking the band leader senseless witha thud. The leader falls, arms flailing forbalance, and pokes the flutist in the eyewith his stick. Grimacing with pain, thewoman bites off the end of her flute andswallows it, gasping and wheezing for air .The marching song suddenly turns into ahideous cacophony of groans, wheezes,crashes, and thumps .

Perkelanamord hurries away muttering,"Oops, sorry, I didn't. . ., sorry," as his wifefalls screaming to the ground, tears blub-bering down her round, little face .

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OFBLACK PUDDINGBlack pudding is considered a delicacy inthe Fire Fleet, particulary after severalmonths on the Boiling Sea . As black pud-ding is a ravenous carnivore, it first mustbe caught, before being prepared for con-sumption. Pages 2,976,341 through3,123,882 of Volume LXXIII ofThrapskaddidlogrumpanaciouslaxzitinity'ssemi-authoritative study of monster hunt-ing, Flow People Try to Catch Monsters,contain some 8,647 methods for acquir-ing puddings. Many of these techniquesare not recommended, as they leave theblack pudding in an inedible form . Blackpudding must be kept in secure ceramiccontainers prior to cooking, to limit dam-age to culinary personnel . Special long-handled asbestos ladles are ideal for

transporting black pudding from thesecontainers to the deck of the vessel . Theyare also used for cooking the black pud-ding. Black pudding is traditionallycooked by immersion in boiling lava .(Drikulomengrabaciflatorengulixfreibie,Navigating the Burning Sea, page 323,column 77), although the breath of acooperative red or gold dragon may besubstituted in a pinch . Four to five minutesof immersion per pint of black pudding isa reasonable cooking time; properlycooked black pudding will have a syrupy,gelatinous texture. Extreme Care must betaken not to serve undercooked blackpudding,© catastrophic cases of indigestionmay result from improper preparation .

After removing the black pudding fromthe boiling lava, it must be set aside forabout three hours, until the coating ofbasalt has fully congealed. After chippingoff the basalt, the black pudding shouldbe seasoned liberally with celebdil, groundcaradhras, and fanuidhol seeds, thenserved hot. One quart of black puddingshould serve two to three gnomes, unlessthey are especially hungry . Leftover blackpudding may be served for several weeks,although its consistency will suffer .
