My memory could be playing tricks on me with the Void being stuff, but I did get a lesser horror attack from the Forgotten City once. The Spectral Mage handily fried it.

Cannot find Thunder Bow in database, 3.10 RC-1

Whats the dif between the weapons and base weapons page, btw? Is it displaying the same information two different ways, or are they fundamentally different?

I can find Staff of Storms in 'BaseW', but not in 'Weapons', for instance.

Also, the entry for Spirit Helmet may be incomplete, lacking special effect?

The difference in BaseW and Weapons is that the latter retrieves date from BaseW and formats it, making it easier to read since you don't have a dozen zeroes on every row.

Where were you looking for the Thunder Bow? It only appears in the BaseI page, since Thunder Bow is the name of the item. The actual weapon granted by the Thunder Bow is Lightning. There is no weapon named "Thunder Bow".

Staff of Storms, are you sure? I need to check that one out. BaseW is sorted by number, Weapons is sorted by name.

What effect is spirit helmet missing? It does have a combat autocast every turn entry for Lightning Bolt.

Maybe I'm just reading it wrong? Well, I've been suffering from insomnia too long, and am not going to worry about it any more tonight. If you'd like to see the results of my insomnia, check out this.

The database contains a lot of data, and has been a big help. Thanks.

It really didn't mean much to me, though, until I put together this little project. Hope it's of interest to someone. It really made me re-evaluate the pathetic 'seeming' Lightning Spear.

The actual gathering of data from the game didn't take too long, thanks to my fast typing skills. But the use policy regarding game text, and figuring out my first wiki page - how to even create it was a challenge, though one with a ridiculously simple answer.

I'm stuck away from my computer right now.
3.10 DB, does it contain the damage numbers for the various poison effects? In 3.08, I found the poisons around weapon id 50, but I saw spec. for the damage. Where would I find out the precise poison damage to be applied?

For clarification, I'm aware of the mechanics. If this was a card game, I'd call it a poison counter. I'm not looking for how much I'll take in a round, but more how many counters a weak/deadly poison piles on.

No, it doesn't, since I don't know the values.
