Does it make a difference how you fight? Let me clarify: I usually just click the mouse and hold it down. Eventually the creature will die, but it seems like sometimes I do a lot of damage to a creature and other times the same type of creature I either can't seem to hit or I do piddly damage to. The same thing happens the other way around too... Sometimes a creature does loads of damge to me and other times the same kind of creature will be lucky if it does 1 damage to me. What gives? THanks for insights.
------------------
Damage works just like in D&D; game.. If you look at your damage rating, it will say something like, "3-10" or "5-20" etc. This means that if you are successful in hitting your target, you will attempt to dole out that damage.
However, there are factors involved in how much damage you inflict as well. I assume armor will reduce the damage you take(for your own armor) as well as how much you inflict(how much armor your opponent has).
Also it seems like there are factors of luck. Ie if you luck out you might "critically" hit your opponent, and do more damage. Or you could trip and just hit the guys toe, and do 1 damage.
The general rule is that the bigger weapon you have, and the better you are at using it(dexterity), the more damage you will inflict. But there will always be some degree of variety and "luck."
------------------ Shoot 'em with everything you've got. If anything still lives, shoot 'em again.
Also, You might whant to try blocking. It helps trust me.

Yes, it does make a difference. If you employ the "click and hold" mouse strategy against more powerful creatures later in the game you'll get slaughtered. You need to block with your shield, then strike to avoid taking unnecessary damage. When you hear the creature strike, attack. His animation will barely be started, but it's just a formality. That little dinging sound right before his attack animation is the actual attack, and right after that is when you need to strike. If you try to get too many hits in, the monster can strike you with your guard down. That's when you're taking the big amounts of damage. Some monsters do massive damage no matter what you do with your shield. That's when you run like hell and don't return until you've upgraded your armor. Hope this helps.

That should teach you to hide in mysterious caves. Don't do it.

Monsters are re spawned when you reload the game, their positions aren't saved with it. Just reload until no monsters are nearby.

ArcAngel should I sent you the file? Kanddak, I know that but even if they are no near by, they are still there and to get to town I have to fight a lot of them.
