<h1>General</h1>
|
|
This guide is intended to present the player to his opponents and the
|
|
``tools'' of his trade. The tables in this guide are generated
|
|
completely from the crossfire source, so you may sometimes see
|
|
monsters or items here before they can be encountered in the game.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Enchantments</h3>
|
|
Enchanted items are items that is better than the basic type.
|
|
They are identified by the <em> +1</em>, <em> +2</em>, <em> +3</em> or <em> +4</em> at
|
|
the end of the item name.
|
|
Also, the higher the number, the rarer the item is.
|
|
The enchantments affect the value, weight and effect of the item;
|
|
i.e. for armour its <em> ac</em> (armour class),
|
|
for weapons its <em> wc</em> (weapon class).
|
|
Items that already have a magical effect are never enchanted.
|
|
|
|
<h1>Maxstats</h1>
|
|
|
|
The following table shows the maximum value the different player
|
|
classes can reach in a stat. It also shows how your basic stats will
|
|
be changed by choosing a different class. When you roll your
|
|
character, the stats displayed are the stats you will get as a human.
|
|
When satisfied, you can step through a number of classes, each with
|
|
special bonuses in stats.

|
|
A barbarian has a maximum strength which is 4 higher than a human --
|
|
that means he will begin with an additional 4 points added to his
|
|
strength roll. On the other hand, a barbarian can never get above 12
|
|
in intelligence. This means that your rolled character will have 8
|
|
less in intelligence if you choose that class. It also means that you
|
|
can't be a barbarian if you roll less than 8 in intelligence -- the
|
|
poor barbarian would have had a negative stat.
|
|
|
|
You can never roll a character with better stats than an average of
|
|
straight 15's, and you can't roll higher than 18 in a stat. These
|
|
values are the maximum values for your ``natural'' dexterity,
|
|
constitution etc. You can raise your natural stats by drinking
|
|
potions.
|
|
|
|
However, there are plenty of items which give you bonuses to your
|
|
stats even <b> beyond</b> your class' limit -- swords, armours and rings to
|
|
name the most important. You can also read scrolls or cast spells to
|
|
temporarily raise your stats. The absolute maximum value is 30, and
|
|
the player class doesn't matter here.

<h1>Weapons</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Weapons</h3>
|
|
Notice that the weight and damage differs on seemingly equal weapons.
|
|
We suggest that you wield the <b> identified</b> weapons,
|
|
to choose the better one.

|
<h3>Bows</h3>
|
|
|
|
The <b> rate</b> column in the following table shows the relative rate
|
|
of fire. E.g. to cock a bow with a ``rate of fire'' of 1/2, you
|
|
need only half the time of what is needed with a bow with a ``rate of
|
|
fire'' of 1/1.
|
|
|
|
The damage done by the impact of a bolt fired from a crossbow is
|
|
constant. However, with an ordinary bow you can pull the arrow
|
|
further back if you are strong, and it would thus do more damage.

<h3>Special weapons</h3>

This section shows the different ``Special weapons'' which exist in
|
|
crossfire. Although the weapons are supposed to be unique, there may
|
|
exist several of them...

<h1>Armour</h1>
|
|
|
|
Armour is essential to surviving in Crossfire.
|
|
The basic idea is that the less <em> ac</em> (armour class) you have -- the more
|
|
difficult you are to hit.
|
|
The <em> armour</em> value represents the reduction in physical damage in percent.
|
|
There are several types of armour in Crossfire.You may only wear <b> one</b>
|
|
of the different main types of armour (except magical armour).
|
|
|
|
The different main types consist of these :
|
|
|
|

<h1>Magic</h1>
|
|
|
|
Magic is brought into play by various means. The only way to actually
|
|
learn the spells, is to read them from a book. Both scrolls and books
|
|
will disappear after being read (<b> applied</b> actually). Magic that
|
|
comes from quaffing (<b> applying</b>) a potion will stay in effect over
|
|
a period of time. Naturally not all magic found in wands
|
|
would be found in e.g. scrolls etc.<em> Scroll of large fireball</em> or
|
|
<em> Potion of poison</em> would be ridiculous.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <em> Wonder</em> spell will produce random magic (rather unpredictable).

<h1>Monsters</h1>
|
|
|
|
The monsters are your opponents in Crossfire. Actually the only way
|
|
to gain experience in this game is to bash monsters (or your fellow
|
|
players, but you probably won't last long if you choose that route to
|
|
``fame''). The more <em> hitpoints</em> the monsters have, the longer it
|
|
takes to kill the suckers. Unfortunately, the monsters tend to strike
|
|
back... Thus the stronger the monsters are -- the more damage you
|
|
take, and vice versa.
