How do you throw fireballs using the fury?

Post by ADDF_Toxic »

I'm having a bit of trouble...I put charges into my fury, but it won't let me throw fireballs. What other special intstructions do I need for this?

The person holding it needs to be a wizard of a certain level - I forget how high...

Aah. I did notice it not being available in all champions in "The Tomb of King Hissssa" I believe by Sphenx, even though I never threw a fireball. Now I just need to figure out which level dees ees(this is).
Thanks.

Hey Toxic,
I guess you have to be at least a DAIN artisan to cast fireballs with Fury, repectively with the RA blade among the CSB items.

(nice weapon, by the way 8) )

Agh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I skipped a bunch of levels just to get to the part that I'm working on and so I have no time to train my guys!! What level of fireball is needed to blast a fireball destroyable door? Oh, RA blade is a CSB item isn't it? This is a DM game.

If it's a dungeon you're creating and want to test out certain parts of it, you can always create a test character with maxed out stats just for exploring your dungeon and making sure everything's working okay. Either put them in the party to begin with or in a mirror right by the dungeon entrance - once the dungeon is working how you want it, obviously you would want to delete the test character and then play through with a proper party or whatever (or get other people to playtest it for you since they can probably tell you stuff that needs changing which you wouldn't have noticed yourself).
That's what I do anyway. Well, it's what I WOULD do if I could get a dungeon to work, lol.

@ Toxic: yea, as I wrote. Just mentioned this in case you´re enjoying CSB too, beat me if I´m wrong. ;)

My dungeon? I think I might put it here someday. Right now I'm a bit annoyed, just tired of working on it, working on it too much! I called it Chaos' Dungeon. And I like your idea Ameena.

ADDF, it takes at least a year to get annoyed with your design! (well, it took me a day)

I'm not done it yet. I'm on level 8-10(working on them at the same time) out of 15. I'm hoping I can finish it sometime soon...hopefully I finish at a time when I feel like putting it on here! I don't always feel like it.

Well, what's the point then? For the fairies?

15 levels is great work. I can't wait to see it.

Yeah. One level, I took up too much space for falling down pits from the level above, I only had one room with a few screamers. I was going to put a challenge there other than the screamers where teleporters swirl around like a fan, but I couldn't get it to work. So I guess you can say 14.5 levels.

ADDF, champion mirrors need both the portrait and the text (that contains the party informtaion), exactly like the HoC ones - have you done that? If not, then clicking on the mirror will freeze the game. In DMBuild, you need to use the 'herostat' programme in the herstst folder to genrerate the numbers for the text string for a maxed out test character. Look at the herostat text file first so you understand what the party text string really means.


For doors, I don't think anyone has ever found the exactl level - usually between an um and ee level fireball cast by a medium wizard should do it. Fury will certainly blow open any door.

I already looked at that. I got the text and the champion mirror.

and ok. I'm wondering if it bugged up, because I continued and found a blown open door!

I think I'm finished the game, just need to test it myself, I deleted my luxury character that won't work and the teleporter, and I will play it like it should be, ignoring the apples I put in some places because I didn't complete testing them because I didn't have strong characters.
