Uh, not to be an ass, but what the hell are you talking about? How can his view be limited? He's an imm so I would have to say he knows what he is talking about. And, I happen to know of at least two ways to kill or avoid an FF quickly that don't involve cheating or needing a non-existant command to do so. I'll also point out that I have yet to die to an FF with any character I have played. And before you say too much on that, I will point out that this includes a duergar.

Again, uh... I know of a couple of little tricks with one class that is not common knowledge. I demonstrated the tricks for someone and I have to this day to see it imitated or duplicated by any one else. Sometimes secrets stay just that.

I usually support or agree with most of your statements, Graham, but in this case, I would have to say that this post was written out of pure bitterness. This isn't a criticism, just an observation. I know Nepenthe has a tendency to be vague but I have to say that if he drops a few hints that something does exist, it must exist. I for one like riddles.
