A Shrunken Adventurer am I
From A KoL Wiki
A Shrunken Adventurer Am I is the Fall 2023 special challenge path, introduced on August 15th, 2023. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "You are so tiny."
For up to date information, see the Discussion Thread.
Restrictions
- All monsters look really big to you.
- You have a maximum food capacity of 2, and a maximum booze capacity of 1 (you become overdrunk at 2).
- You may only drink size 1 booze items.
- You can't use anything that cleans or expands the stomach or liver capacity.
- Your base Muscle, Mysticality and Moxie are all limited to 1.
- Gaining stat points in your mainstat still causes you to advance in level, but the stat remains at 1.
Divergences
- Your adventure begins with "Jumbled in the Bungle."
- Your Campsite is replaced with Your Campground from a bug's Perspective.
- Food and Booze items give significantly more stats and adventures, roughly ten times as much.
- Stat requirements on equipment do not apply, even very high-level equipment such as items found in Dreadsylvania.

Strategy
- Because your stats are so low, you can't rely on regular attacks, as both hit chance and damage will be very low.
- If you have access to a June cleaver, remember that its attacks always hit. As an alternative, use skills that don't require you to attack, like Saucestorm.
- Percentage-based stat buffs (like, say, philter of phorce) are nearly useless, because your stats are limited to 1. Absolute increases (like Mr. Accessaturday) are much more useful, and you can find some items that do this by adventuring in the areas in your campground.
- Both stat gains and adventure gain from foods and booze are multiplied, and so items such as Mrs. Rush or red rocket will really help with experience gain.
