Combart Strategiesfl Player Character who uses thrown weapons should carrythem in-hand. Be sure to recover your character's rangedweapons after each battle. It is best to collect all theranged weapons your character finds, for they are usedquickly in battle.

Prepare your Player Character for battle before openingdoors, climbing or descending stairs, or pushing any buttonthat might open a door or secret wall. Monsters often waitbehind closed doors and secret walls.

Ifthe weight being carried is reduced, the Player Characterbegins to recover For more information, see the section"Stamina" on page 21.

Experience PointsExperience is broken into two different types: weapon andmagic experience. Whenever the Player Character inflictsdamage with a weapon or a magic spell, a number ofExperience Points equal to the damage value is added to theappropriate Experience Point type.

Upon leaving a dungeon, if the Player Character hasacquired sufficient Experience Points to advance a level, anExperience Screen is displayed, showing a pool of ExperiencePoints which can be distributed among the various weaponand spell classes.
