This game looks like it was made with FRUA. I have FRUA, but I didn't know that it was really a tool used by professionals to make commercial games!

Apparently so does pools of darkness.

What I want to know is what the heck does a silver shield do? Is it just light or something? I've beaten it several times and STILL haven't found out what is special about it...


Stuff you don't want to do: Use the fire touch spell on this guy, it negates his dragonlance status. Don't remove curse on him, you can't put his miracle gear back on. Don't equip the eyes of petrification (duh).

Silver shields have the chance of reflecting back gaze attacks (like bassilicks and medusas use to turn to stone). Fun things to have equipped when fighting those types of monsters. I forget if they're in this game, but they sure are in pools of darkness.

You certain? Hmmm. This guy kills them so quick anyway LOL

Yeah, you get a silver shield+3 near the end of the game.

In order to make your stats as good as his you need to find the editor. For some reason or another I can't put it on my forum, so you will have to go out and find it for yourself. If you make your own editor I would like to know

I used to own this game back in the day and LOVED it! When I found it on an abandonware site, I was thrilled. But since I don't have the manual anymore, I was constantly searching through the text files to find the answers to the security questions (ex. "On page 13, what is the fifth word after the heading CHARACTER CLASSES"). Looking up that kind of stuff in a text editor takes forever because the page numbers in the text file don't correspond to the page numbers of the original manual. I got sick of it so I wrote a simple program to instantly display any page number. You type in 10, it instantly jumps to page 10 in the manual. As a second though, I added another option to instantly look up any journal entry. I include the source code if anyone cares.

The game can be unprotected with Neverlock. After that, any text will be accepted by the document check.
