: I hate to repeat this again and again, but... *WHICH VERSION?* *WHICH
: OPERATING SYSTEM?*

0.92, MS-Dos.  Someone said it's fixed now already.

: Many monsters are able to attack you even if you are invisible, if you
: attacked them before.

No, I seriously don't think that is the problem.  Monsters I have never
seen before attack straight off the bat.  Okay, this should prove the
point: I went up to a karmic lizard, and made it invisible.  Poof, it's
gone.  I tried it on myself.  Poof, I'm still there.

Maybe I'm magic resistant. :)  Is that possible? :)

: Mmmh... I need to check that.  If this still is possible it's good
: that I can fix it before I release ADOM 0.9.4 :-)

Okay, so have I redeemed myself from forgetting to put the version # and
platform down? :)

Oh, another thing I noticed:
I went into the graveyard level in the dwarven caves, and teleported over
to near the stairs in the middle, intending to go down.  I was surrounded
by lots of nasties, so I decided to cast darkness to stop them from
attacking me.  What I noticed was that staying on the edge of the
darkness, I could easily slaughter everything in the graveyard without
losing any stats or many hit points.  In fact, I think I gained HP.  But
as soon as I walked out of the darkness, to see if there were any more
monsters (there were a few), those monsters left killed me quickly.

I have seriously underestimated the power of darkness. :)
