Title: Scroll of Fountain of Youth
Post by: Chenier on April 29, 2013, 12:40:08 PM
Am I completely misunderstanding what it's supposed to do? I was assuming it'd lower my character's physical age. When I used it on myself, though, despite saying it worked, it did not lower my character's physical age.

This scroll is said to make old men feel young again. It will give new energy to its target and remove fatigue.

Fatigue is an adventurer's stat, maybe it only works on advies?

It said it "worked". Yea, some of the wording does suggest it is advy-related, but the name and "make old men feel young again" suggests that it relates to physical age (and maybe decrease fatigue as well if used on an advy).

I thought advies couldn't use scrolls.

And maybe it only worked a little, not enough to take a whole year off?   "Why I do declare, I feel as young as I was last week!"

It wasn't a "little blue scroll", was it?

Nono, that's the Scroll of Ecstasy.

I used a second one. Still at 45. And these scrolls aren't the first this character uses.

Feels rather week if two scrolls in a row can't even knock a single year off my character's age. I was expecting like 5 years off each.

It is my vague recollection that Tom was asked about this some time back, and he firmly stated his intention that there be no way in-game to reduce one's physical age.

The description should be changed, then... it really suggests that it lowers the character's physical age.

And the description for the Scroll of Fireball really suggests that it produces an impressive, flashy fireball to frighten and injure one's foes.

In Soviet BattleMaster, dev team trolls you.

Wait, what does the scroll of Fireball do, now?

Would be cool if they seriously wound the target.

Try it out. It's one of my most favorite scrolls.

I wish I had one.

That being said, I did have a Scroll of Fountain of Youth. Two, actually. And I used them both on myself. And I'm still clueless as to what they are supposed to do.

That's the nature of magic. :-)
