It would seem the number of hits increases for every 10 Luck points your character has... I may push it to 8 hits before starting to rampage through the game (took one trip and killed the vampire, got the earth rod, after i get to 8 hits, will just start walking through the game ... starting with whatever the earth fiend is named (lich ?)).

No. luck has nothing to do with your number of hits. Thats what hit% is for. The more Hit% the more hits you do. Plus if your BB doesnt have any weapons equiped his # hits are doubled.

Something I'm not quite certain about, though, is how WM is easier than thief. Sure the harm/dia/whatever spells would be handy against the undead monsties... but the total lack of ability to do damage seems.... icky.

I'd rather try a BM run and attempting to allocate spells accordingly.

Well you see with the WM you get magic spells that help you out. Throughout majority of the game you get ruse,cure1-3,harm,mute,heal3. While with the thief you get NONE of that. Well actually he does get Ruse and heal1 but thats still not enough to help and he doesnt get it until very late. Yes the WM is weak as hell but that doesnt matter when she has Mute,Ruse and cure. She can easily just cast Ruse,Mute if she needs to and just sit there and attack until the boss dies, and if she needs to heal she can cast Cure. Trust me, do a solo thief and then do a solo wm. You will be laughing at how easy a WM is to a thief.

re: hit count / hit % / etc

... I've tried to find a reasonable explanation to this, but lack one. I don't recall if it's lv10 or lv11 when the BB starts getting 4 hits instead of 2... if it's 11, then....

lv11, lv21, lv31 .. all seem to add 2 to the hit count.

I realize that hit% matters cause fighters can gain up to 3x hit just after getting silver sword...

i dunno, maybe i'm just terribly confused.... bb seems to be gaining 3acc every lvl but that didn't make for a very lineary explanation of stuff... at lvl11, i think his aac was ... 20 ? at 21 it was in the 60's ?

blah.

lvl 35ish now, walked up to lich and hit him twice... woopty. i can see teh fire cave being annoying if i have to spend too much time running around on the 'hot squares'.... and i can see the ice cave with it's paralyzing enemies and the sourcerers (or whatever this version will call them)...

so far no real issues with petrification.. we'll see...

WM vs Thief ---- given lack of offense, I assume you'd spend most of your time traversing a dungeon by running away (as a WM) ? ... with only 8 spell slots per level, i can see spells drying up real fast like (same goes for BM!).

i may try theif next.... or maybe wm for something different... or just go bout playing ff2...
