From A KoL Wiki

That reference stinks, see the Established Standards (you know the giant WAIT at the bottom of a page you are editing) and explain your references (much) better. --JRSiebz (|§) 00:22, 1 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)

Hm, I don't suppose you can be buffed mid-way against the NS? If so, a powerful familiar indeed. ~Keripo

I was thinking the same thing. Since it attacks like a pickle, but doesn't decrease level randomly, things like Face Stab or Wussiness Potions could be used against the Sorceress. Of course, if it only attacks or buffs, but not both, it'd be no more effective than the pickle. The NS scales to you, so I'd have to assume that even if it buffed you during that fight, it'd be a waste. Especially the +item buff. --Monochrome Jesus 22:18, 1 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)

  • Quoth the Mr. Skullhead: "Oh, and I feel it's only fair to warn those who over-strategize... the NS battle is a buff-free zone. That doesn't change with this familiar." Source Mr. Blonde 15:51, 3 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)

Ok, some additional stuff i found out, but can't confirm.

Weight Average Damage Minimum Maximum
25 23 17 31
26 26 18 33
27 27 18 34

Looks a lot like a pattern.

Also, i have no idea how to check the effect of the fairy dance within acceptable adventuring time. You need way to much data to find out. All this data was collected while killing fluffy bunnies. --Grey Eminence 02:40, 8 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)


Guyse, I changed the weakness from none to Obstacle Course because of this:

  • "Anything without knees has a tough time in the obstacle course, and Rossiya, sadly, lacks knees."

I would call that a weakness. --Areautena 03:11, 17 January 2006 (Central Standard Time)


When my doppelshifter transforms into this, it says "<name> sits motionless", then it shows the regular attack message. Is this normal, or a bug?
