Still on my first serious Steam character, and enjoying greatly (although
it seems to have become a lot easier at recent clvls; my first few british
engineers all died rapidly, all to poison from envies or trog
witchdoctors, but once I got a decent RPois I have not had trouble since -
now clvl 42, dlvl 10).
Anyway, the point: do the various items that are of the same personage -
Edison, Tesla, etc. - convey any extra benefits when worn together?
[Also, is there a list of the Steamband uniques? It would be neat to know
whether I'm missing any at the end. Some OoL have already appeared - the
Babbage engine, Jack the Ripper, Moriarty, etc. - and all died easily to
the Clockwork Chassis (I have been using the Carbine only for things that
resist projectiles).]
On a further tack: I agree with previous posters that my amulet of *Regen*
is far better than John Dee, for example, which I only carry around as an
intended swap-in for single tough creatures (haven't needed it yet). The
*Regen* allows me to just go to a pit entrance, fire forward cannons into
the pit, and hold down 'n' until everything inside is dead without ever
getting below max mana or hp!
