ADOM Guidebook

Character creation

There are of course Ancardian day and date effects as well, which are well covered in the ADOM Manual. One Ancardian time effect not mentioned is the fact that the PC's range of sight depends on the time of day in wilderness squares. In the morning (which apparently begins at 6h), the PC sees further, and in the evening (which apparently begins at 22h) the PC's sight is limited to 2 squares. The Farsight spell seems to negate this.

0.1.2 Birth

0.1.2.1 Star sign

0.1.2.2 Special birth messages

• The night you were born....
  ...the local undead were seen packing up and moving away.
  It means that your character will gain (or is born with?) the "natural enemy of undead" intrinsic. This makes undead flee from you periodically. This also means you always slay undead - same effect as !Unde weapons.

• ...your long lost brother showed up.
  Greater chance of special locations generated in dungeons (hives, shops, pools, etc.)

• ...a two headed calf was born.
  10% less experience points are required for an experience level increase.

• ...a falling star killed the village elder.
  10% less experience points are required for an experience level increase.

[1] Bards never get: Necromancy, Bridge Building, Tactics, Law, Courage. Every other skill (except Music) has 25% chance, with starting value of [1d20 + 15]

[2] if specializing on potions, then Alchemy [1dLe], else if specializing on scrolls then Literacy [1d20 + 30] else (wands or rings) Survival [1d20 + 20]

Falcon birthsign increases Survival by 10, or grants Survival at 10 if there was no Survival by race or class.

The manual also states that Bards get more skills than other classes. Testing does not agree with this. What the manual fails to mention is the two free skill advances per level Bards receive. This is useful for races that have low initial Learning scores, such as Orcs and Trolls.

There are definite effects on gameplay depending on the alignment, skills and birthsign the PC is born with. Note that none of the races is born with the Healing skill; it is entirely class-dependent. Nine classes are born with Healing. It is essential to obtain this skill. This means that those without it *must* choose Rynt's quest as opposed to Guth'Alak's in Terinyo, whether they intend to actually obtain the skill from Jharod or Kranf Niest. This puts restrictions on the game right away, since the Keethrax quest and thus a guaranteed artifact and potion of cure corruption are forfeited before the game even starts. Further, three races start with chaotic alignment. If the PC wants to receive Healing from Jharod, thus avoiding Kranf Niest's stat drains, alignment must be changed to neutral (or lawful).

Note also that no race starts with Herbalism, the other skill available through a Terinyo quest. If the player wants maximum flexibility - to do either Rynt's or Guth'Alak's quest, or neither (in the case of a minimalist challenge game) - choose a class that starts with Healing, Herbalism, or ideally both, such as a Beastfighter, Druid, Healer, Priest, Ranger or Wizard.

If there is a skill that is difficult to obtain that you cannot live without, such as Alertness, play a Dark Elf or Drakeling, or choose a class that is born with it - Archers, Healers, Monks, Rangers and Thieves all start with this skill. Many players feel similarly about Detect Item Status - play Priests or a Merchant for a challenge.

A PC that trains a given skill due to both race and class will be especially proficient with that skill. This makes certain combinations especially powerful. Dwarven Weaponsmiths (doubly trained Metallurgy and Smithing), Hurthling Archers (doubly trained Archery), Hurthling Farmers (doubly trained Archery, Cooking, Food Preservation, Gardening, Stealth) and Dark Elven Rangers (doubly trained Alertness and Climbing) are examples.

[1] can be ANY skill, and does not have the restrictions imposed on character creation. Bards gain Random(20) + 20 in those skills.

[2] stolen items must have at least 10 value

[3] Trains St by (Level*5)-155)*4, Dx by (Level*5)-155), and To by ((Level*3)-93)*10

[4] Shadow Touch will regain HP first; if maxed, it will regain PP instead. PP Gained is DamageDealt / 2, HP Gained is DamageDealt / 3. There is DamageDealt/1000 chance to get +1 Mana. If 1d10000-1 < damage dealt, you gain 1 Mana

[5] also receives only 1/3 of drowning damage

[6] melting ability is determined by the weight of what you're melting down as far as how many ingots you'll get. This means for example ultra-heavy armors are especially nice for melting down. Blessed hammer + blessed metal = 9:1000 (9 ingots for 1000 stones); B+U = 8,1:1000; B+C = 6,3:1000; U+U = 7,2:1000; U+C = 5,6:1000; C+C = 4,4:1000. Failing a Smithing roll halves the amount you get.

[7] if monster level<50 and monster not unique: (50-moblevel)*2 / 1000 chance for instant kill

[8] if monster not unique, and (monster is humanoid but not undead/construct), and (monster size < 3 or Monk level >= 40): (50-moblevel)*2 / 1000 chance for insta-kill

Higher Xp number means more experience is required to advance a level.

The ADOM Manual gives some hints about race/class combinations. For instance, the manual identifies Trolls as the strongest, toughest and stupidest race in the game and suggests that they make good fighters (because of their Strength and Toughness) and lousy magicians (because of their low Learning and Mana). This is true as far as it goes, but Trollish Wizards can be a viable combination if they are played more as fighters to start and later develop their magical talents. Elves make fantastic Wizards (due to their high Learning and Mana) once they gain some experience, but are difficult to keep alive in the early game because of their low Toughness. Humans are a jack of all trades race and can be used with all classes. Some combinations favored by newsgroup readers:

Trollish Beastfighters and Barbarians - brute force fighters
Gnomish Elementalists - magic users with more Toughness than elves
Elven Archers - natural talent with bows
Elven Wizards - high Mana and Learning
Dwarven Weaponsmiths - natural smithing talent
Hurthling Archers - natural talent with thrown rocks

Classes and combinations that are regarded as difficult:

Farmers
Merchants, especially Dark Elven Merchants because of their low Charisma and Toughness
Necromancers in general are very difficult to keep alive at low levels

0.1.4.5 Special considerations

Drakelings - Drakelings face special problems in the ToEF (see section 2.19) and D: 49 (see section 3.12). Drakelings who are unlucky enough to find a greater white dragon vault will also face speed problems. Drakelings have a unique racial acid spit, which does Max(2,Level/3)d6+(Level/2) damage, has Max(2, St/4) range, hits target if 1d(Level+10)+Dx > MonstersDV+3, and consumes 5d10+50 food points per spit.

Hurthlings - Hurthlings start the game with the Thrown Rocks missile weapon skill at level four. They also start the game wearing a cursed ring, unfortunately. Hurthlings also have a racial dislike for shoes, which causes a loss of Dexterity when Hurthlings use footwear in ADOM. Hurthlings also have an advantage over other races when training the slings and thrown rocks missile weapon skills: they require only two thirds of the marks other races do in order to advance a skill level.

Gnomes - Gnomes require only 3/4 the number of missile weapon marks to advance their crossbow skill level relative to other races.

Elves - All elves, High, Gray, or Dark, have very long lifespans. This is worth considering since several of the high level monsters encountered in ADOM have an aging attack. Ghost Lords, for instance, may well age a Human or Troll to death in one or two hits, since these PCs have a life span of 100 years or so at most. Elven PCs do not need to worry about this, since they live for about 1000 years. Balancing this is the fact that they are more fragile than other races in terms of Toughness in the early game.

Orcs - Like Dark Elves, Orcs receive very low offers and high prices in Waldenbrook's Dwarftown shop. Orcs have a short lifespan relative to other races.

Trolls - Trolls advance in experience level very slowly relative to other races. Trolls start the game with the Twohanded Weapons melee skill at level two. Do not pay any attention to this if you are playing a trollish Beastfighter. Drop that club and fight unarmed.

Bards - Bards have an advantage when using Music; their chances for taming/calming down monsters is higher than other classes.

Druids - All Druids start at neutral zero alignment, and get spellbook of Lightning Bolt. Non-summoned animals are neutral towards Druids (including cats). Bugs in the bug-infested temple are not included.

Wizards - Wizards born under the Salamander birthsign always start with spellbook of Fire Bolt. Wizards have easier time writing scrolls.

Merchants - Merchants always specialize in a certain item: potions, rings, scrolls, or wands. This specialization allows them to identify any item in that category on sight. Merchants have the ability to use thrown gold pieces as effective missiles. Dopplegangers are not able to deflect gold pieces thrown by Merchants. This is the only known way to attack dopplegangers with missiles. Merchants also receive better shop prices, the exception is Terinyo shop.

Necromancers - The manual states that level 50 Necromancers can return from the dead if their Toughness is greater than 10. It goes on to say that they lose one-half of their Toughness when this happens. It does not mention that if their equipment keeps their Toughness at 10 or more, they can do this indefinitely. Necromancers suffer from low dice modifiers on their skills, finding difficulties to advance Concentration, limited by a 1d3 or 1d5 modifier. Of equal importance for Necromancers is Food Preservation, similarly limited. In contrast, Rangers, Bards and Beastfighters can expect very high 4d5 modifiers on most of their skills.

Farmers - Farmers start the game with a large dog pet, level two in Polearms weapon skill and require 20% less marks to increase their Polearms level.

Mindcrafters - Mindcrafters possess really unique Mindcraft abilities no other class can ever obtain. The Ctrl+I command is used to invoke Mindcraft. More on the Mindcraft abilities in section 0.5.3.

Weaponsmiths - Your PC can never start out burdened - Strength will be raised enough so that the PC can handle the weight. Weaponsmiths start with a very heavy 1000s anvil; this can give weaker races, like Hurthlings, a large, free Strength boost. Weaponsmiths of course have easier time Smithing - see section 0.14.13 for details.

Beastfighters and Monks increase their Speed, DV, to-hit and damage with level. Beastfighters lose their bonuses if using weapons. Monks get no bonuses if Burdened or worse, wearing a shield, or an armor other than robe, black robe, clean robe, clothes, elven chain mail, Shirt of the Saints, Robes of Resistance. The Speed bonus for both classes is lvl/2, to-hit bonus is lvl*2 + lvl/3 - (lvl-1)/5 - 1. Beastfighter's damage is 1d(4+lvl/3*2) + lvl/2+lvl/4, Monk's damage is 1d(8+lvl) + lvl/4. Beastfighters get +1 DV every third level, Monks get +1 DV in two levels out of three. Also, Monks do not lose Mana when writing scrolls.
