3	MAGICAL ITEM LISTS

The following is a list of "adjectives" which are used to describe the 
various items in the game, as well an indication of the magic bonuses
which
such items grant.  These tables are substantially complete and reflect 
ranges which I have personally confirmed.  Where I have not yet
determined
the full extent of an item�s effects, I have provided the range in
[square brackets].  Rather than provide the list alphabetically, I have
grouped items which have similar effects together:

7	CHARACTER CLASSES/ATTRIBUTES AND LEVELS

I may add more to this section in a future revision of this guide, but
for
now here's a chart summarizing the  attribute maximums (without the
assistance of magical items) for the three character classes, and an
indication of the different benefits each class gains with each new
experience level:

[Class]	[Max Str][Max Magic][Max Dexterity][Max Vitality][Effect of
Level]
Warrior	250		50	60		100	  +2 life, +1 mana
Rogue	55		70	250		80	  +2 life, +2 mana 
Sorcerer45		250	85		80	  +1 life, +2 mana

In addition, a Warrior will gain +2 Life points for every +1 increase in
Vitality, while a Rogue or Sorcerer will only gain +1 Life for every +1
increase in Vitality.  A Sorcerer will gain +2 Mana points for every +1
increase to Magic, while a Rogue or Warrior will only gain +1 Mana for
every +1 increase in Magic.  As indicated in part 3 of this Information
Guide, an increase in a character�s level will also increase the amount
of damage certain spells inflict.

Each class also has certain abilities which it does better than the
other
classes, and a unique ability spell.  The only unique ability spell of 
real value is the rogue's which allows her to detect traps.  The 
sorcerer's ability (to recharge staves) and the warrior's ability (to
repair items) should each only be relied upon in emergency situations as
any item which one of these abilities is used upon will be weakened.

For every +2 increase in Dexterity, a character�s % to hit will increase
by one, and for every +5 increase in Dexerity, a character�s armor class
will increase by one.  Increasing strength will also increase the amount
of damage caused by a character�s attack.
