- Ok, since Terminators are too futuristic for Nethack, and since Vlad Tepes
- isn't..<smile>..try this on for size, folks: Introducing the 2nd Castle in
- Nethack(Castles4-6 :-) ) and inside..Doctor Victor("Don't call me Vic!")
- Frankenstein and assistant Igor("That's EYEGOR to you!"), who are naturally
- @'s, and the mad Doc's Monster, naturally a '. Ok, Ok, so it's a flesh golem,
- BUT it should have more HP and hits harder than the rest of the golems. AC
- should be..oh, call -10 or much lesser, should get 2 hits with hands, and
- should not carry weapons.
-
- Igor: should move slow and should carry weapons. Should always be as close as
- possible to Dr. F., in order to block any attempt to attack Victor.
-
- Dr. Frankenstein: Naturally you treat him as a Healer-type; you know, wields
- a scalpel, wears a Lab coat(treat as cloak), wears Amulet of reflection(for
- physical exams), but not as much gold as a regular Healer(If he had more, he
- wouldn't have to resort to experimenting in a dingy castle :-) ).
-
- Also a Blue Dragon should be present(Unless there's a better way to provide
- electricity). And, almost forgot this, the Monster should be vu+nerable to
- fire, but not to electricity.
-
- Any improvements on this? I hope so: I mean, this is NOT written in stone. :)
-
- To start, just thought of this now: this castle level should be in Dlevel
- 11-early 20's too, so you can get the amulet of relection before meeting
- Medusa. Why?! Usually by the time a character meets the buzzing Xan, his/her
- feet are covered by shoes, since 99 times out of 100(in my case) the dwarf
- and all his gear appears first. I'm just keeping in that spirit.
-
- Just a thought,
