dex and mages?

[Kenshin-dono]

quick question. DOes dexterity affect mages chances to hit? What effects fizzling? I sure fizzle a LOT at the start of this game

any general tips for a mage (or hell the game at all, lol) i just started and its kinda neat how it just throws you to the wolves but i would have liked some kind of tutorial. I dont even get how food works.

Only if they use melee weapons to attack.

i would have liked some kind of tutorial.

Hit ESC ingame and select "Tutorial" from the menu.

LoG is a mouse-driven game where everything is operated and/or used with your left and right mouse buttons and the location you click or drag at.

I dont even get how food works.

Either right-click it or drag it onto a hungry character's portrait.

thanks. I knew about the tutorial but its very minimilist. More like a mini manual actuallly.

as for the food question... i mean what does it do? It doesn't heal or anything. In fact i cant figure out how to heal at all. Also since the initial question was about mages. Whats with the crazy amount of fizzling i do in the game? what stat reduces that?

"What does food do" is a pretty strange question; hard to imagine somebody needs to tell you.

Hungry characters can't regenerate health and energy on their own so they need to eat food.

In fact i cant figure out how to heal at all.

To heal you can
1) eat food and rest/wait to regenerate by yourself
2) touch a crystal
3) drink a healing potion

Spellcasting requires a mage to know which rune combination represent what spell and a fizzle indicates that your mage tried to cast a rune combination that does not represent a spell. In other words: he gibbered nonsense.

It's a fair question because many games treat food as a sort of healing potion lite - you eat something and get a small amount of health back. Hunger bars aren't nearly as common nowadays as they were in the original dungeon crawler era.

Very true, a large portion of modern games use it as the sole healing source. (Ex. Dead Rising)
