Quote:Of course she's blind. I was wondering. Is it simple to create a mod that leaves the game in its original state but allows Infravision to be on staves.
...that would avoid widespread mophing. But I'm not going to dole out a workaround for a playstyle that doesn't need it. I don't see how "modding" such a workaround even comes close to legit.
Quote:I've done some preliminary testing and this equipment set with Infravision is great for dungeon crawling (minus the Lazarus part). But the "hassling Adria for Infravision scrolls" is a major drawback to the fun.
Did you ever consider the notion that Infravision isn't *necessary* for a well-played Stealth character? Infra's a crutch. There are alternatives.
Guardian The Early Warning System
Wakes up critters vulnerable to it and indicates the location of fire immunes.
Town Portal View Dungeon Layout
TPs create a good deal of light, most certainly enough to navigate the dungeon. You'll be able to see walls, some dungeon objects, and get a general feeling of how a room's laid out. Sure, it's dangerous to use TP this way (no backup TP), but it's better than stumbling around in the dark.
Charged Bolt The "Guardian" for Lit-vulnerables
May awaken multiple monsters at once.
Bone Spirit For Magic-vulnerables
Wake sleeping Balrogs one at a time.
Part of the fun of playing Dark is being in the dark. You can't have you cake and eat it too, so you learn to make do.
