Is it possible to choose who you attack when in melee ? This last turn Oscar faced a bunch of zombies, one of which was a halfling zombie. I spent the whole fight trying to hit this little punk while he had no chance of injuring me (ie dagger vs plate). If I had taken out the other guys then I wouldn't gotten hurt so bad and would of eventually gottent the little bugger. Does anyone know what happens when you visit the temple of Kulose ? It appears you get some kind of Pendant/Medallion, any idea what it does ?

Of course, this applies to yuor opponent as well. I've noticed a wimpy elf with a longsword slice thru Felldwarf Champion armor with ease in critical fighting (helps that the wimp was much faster, so the Champion didn't get too much opportunity to retaliate).

That is what makes halfling zombies, war dog skeletons and several other monsters such a nuisance. Their only purpose is to keep you occupied and eat away at your action points (sorta like Goldilocks job with SOTBR -- LB). Minotaur Pendants will reduce the stat gain cost for minotaurs across the board. Good strategy is to hoard EPs before visiting, as they disappear after a couple of turns. The medallions seem to only reduce the costs on strength and constitution (per Fernanda). Chris P.S. The writer should not be held responsible for remarks attributed to LB. Those opinions are the opinions of LB, and LB alone. Thank you for your understanding.
