''"SLASH'EM players who want to wish for an instrument can ask for a "blessed frost horn"."'' Why Nethackers can't? Is there really a need to wish such a tool when there's more practical magical tonal instruments around, even worth for wishing for some classes. -[[User:Progo|Progo]] 15:18, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't get where the damage calculation comes from.  [[http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Music.c#do_improvisation|Music.c#do_improvisation]] suggests that it's rn1(6,6).  There's a define in hack.h that says rn1(x,y) is rn2(x)+(y).  rnd.c says that rn2 is just rnd(x), which picks a number between 0 and x-1.  Where's the mistake in my logic?  That would suggest a max damage of just 5+6=11.  Uck. -twinotter

"SLASH'EM players who want to wish for an instrument can ask for a "blessed frost horn"." Why Nethackers can't? Is there really a need to wish such a tool when there's more practical magical tonal instruments around, even worth for wishing for some classes. -Progo 15:18, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't get where the damage calculation comes from. Music.c#do_improvisation suggests that it's rn1(6,6). There's a define in hack.h that says rn1(x,y) is rn2(x)+(y). rnd.c says that rn2 is just rnd(x), which picks a number between 0 and x-1. Where's the mistake in my logic?
