> Oh yeah! I was curious about something. It says in the assassin description that he gains AC and WC when gaining levels. Is there any upper limit to the possible AC/WC? So if you had, say, a level 134 assassin, would it be possible to have a natural 65 AC?

Actually, I've found that ambushes are relatively useless unless you can kill a monster in one hit. In later levels, the trick is not to get breathed on. My Assassins could wipe out a whole group by the time they got really fast, so I'd kill three groups in the ambush round and the other three groups in the next round, before they could attack.

I never got around to invoking a Scroll of Pounding. Perhaps next game, when I find one.

I don't see why there'd be an upper limit on WC/AC, there's just a point at which it makes no difference. I was doing just fine with numbers like WC 15 and Speed 13. The only group of monsters I couldn't kill in one attack with that was Murkon himself. I also amassed so many hit points that I just took my hits and healed between battles.
