Greetings All,
I am new to this group and was very happy to find Angband. It
reminded me of when I used to play Moria when it was around (yes, I am
a tad dated ;o) and I am enjoying reading about others' experiences
here. It has been a while so I don't remember too well if Moria did
this or not and I didn't find the answer in the FAQ, or I missed it,
but here goes:
I am playing a 3rd lvl ranger. It will be 20 more lvls till he can
cast "Identify" and then at a 87% failure rate (17 Int). So, I was
wondering, in the case of potions and scrolls, mebey wands and such:
If Star2 finds "A gray potion" and drinks it (assuming it dosed't kill
him outright) and say it was a "cure light wounds", the next time he
finds a gray potion, will it tell him "pick up gray potion of cure
light wounds?" or will it still just be "a gray potion? I.E. will
drinking it ID it?
Also, if he successfully reads a scroll "ABCDEF" and his weapon glows
for a moment (a giveaway I know) will the next scroll "ABCDEF" be
auto-IDed? Side note: if one scroll is XYZ and is of slaying red
worms, are all scrolls of red worm slaying labeled XYZ or once a
scroll/potion is IDed it just tells the name (what it does?)
I suppose the same might be asked of rods/staves/wands/etc.
Just thought I'd ask. ;>
Thanks in advance!

My 3rd lvl Ranger got his ass kicked by a *Novice* warrior?
What's up with *that*?!?
