 23 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 3 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 1 killed the bastard and survived.
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

Next time I'll pick them off from a distance. This is what's that intuition stuff for, eh ?

EDIT : Whoa, I'm an imp ! \o/

[BDR]

Be aware that stuff shot from a distance will move towards you, and that your chance to hit from out-of-sight is halved.  But yes, that's what Int 3 is for.  Of course, in the end even just knowing where the bastards are is enough to be able to approach the situation properly, even if you couldn't hit stuff from outside vision range.

I thought You had a 90% to-hit reduction outside of LoS. If it's only 50%, maybe I should look into trying out an Int character. (I never used them in 0.9.8.5 on principle, and I thought they were pretty useless in this version so I've never tried one)

[Silhar]

Yes, that's what Int 3 is for.

That was a rhetorical question, mate :).

If it's only 50%, maybe I should look into trying out an Int character.

Even with to-hit halved, it's still useful to see where the next danger comes from. Try it, Int is a good trait.

Be aware that stuff shot from a distance will move towards you, and that your chance to hit from out-of-sight is halved.

With RL and a huge knockback it provides they should remain where they are. Thanks for a warning, anyway.
The only thing I fear are our favourites[/irony]'s acidic bolts. Do you know can they fire at me if they can't see me ?
