discovered yesterday while recalling out of destard that my near-dead
dragon was auto-healed the moment we arrived at destination. Happened
twice. Anyone else notice this?

No. I have noticed that giving them a command makes them lose track of
what they should be doing. If you repeatedly say "All guard me" for
instance, they will stand there indefinately getting clobbered. I was
fooling around on GL and used this to my advantage to gain lore but it
has been a hinderance everywhere else.

That is easily solved by hunting the right things. The FAQ in the
Stratic's Warrior's forum has a list of critters by skill and works
right nice through the 80's. (The highest I've currently worked a
char using that chart.)

<sarcasm>
Of course this method has what many players view as a disadvantage;
one has to actually seek across the face of Sosaria for the many
easily found targets you need.

You need a repeating cross bow. It keeps on shooting until you run
out of bolts unless you turn it off.

What game were you playing? Could not have been UO, because the
"auto fire" has always been a big complaint from non Archers.
If a monster targets you, the bow auto fires, and always has.
You have to disarm to keep from shooting at someone else's "kill".

HEELLLL I don't know. I could swear that's how it worked,
obviously I was doing something wrong. Looks like I have a purpose
for that new extra character now.

Oh well, that's not so bad. Did you know they finally added banks to UO?
Also, we can now sit down in the game.

*snicker*
