User Guide

monsters who come across your party, pleasantly napping around a fire, and swarm
down upon them. With all the commotion, some of your characters may wake up
immediately to participate in the combat. Other characters, the really sound sleepers,
may remain asleep. If a sleeping character is hit, he or she will wake up right away.
Caution: If you have a poisoned character in your party, try to cure the character
of the poison before you "Rest". Some poisons are so strong that they will kill
the character before the neutralizing effects of sleep have a chance to work.
Additionally, if your character is equipped with a cursed item, try removing the
item from the character with the Remove Curse spell before you "Rest".
Disk
To configure Bane of the Cosmic Forge to your computer's specifications or to save your
game in progress, select the "Disk" option.
Save Game & Resume: It's important to save your progress and save it often.
Should your party die or do something that was other than originally intended,
you'll have something to fall back on. Depending on your selections for Game
Configuration, you may be asked to insert your Save Game disk in a disk drive.
Remember, when you save a game, it overwrites the previous save game. So, you
want to use different disks.
If you are using a floppy disk for your saved games, the disk you use must be formatted.
Save Game & Quit: Just like the Save Game option above, your progress will be
saved to disk. However, instead of going back to play, you will exit the game.
When it's time to adventure again, select the "Resume Save Game" option in the
Master Options menu.
Quit Game - No Save: If something traumatic has happened, this option is ideal.
Since your game is not saved when you use this option, you will be able to resume
an earlier save game instead.
Game Configuration: You may use this option to customize Bane of the Cosmic
Forge to your exact liking.
Sound: There are two categories of sounds in Wizardry, the monster sounds and
the dungeon noises. You can individually adjust the level of each of these sounds
to your liking. First, you'll see a switch for each sound (monster sounds first,
dungeon noises second) which allows you to turn the sound either on or off. If
either of the sounds are on, you can then adjust the level of each sound: 1/2
volume or full volume.
Delay: Delay lets Wizardry know how long you'd like messages to stay on the
screen during combat. "1" is the fastest; "18" allows you plenty of time to read
each. For most cases, "8" is a good setting.
Level of Play: Either novice, normal or expert, you can tell Wizardry how
challenging you'd like your adventure to be.
Input: You may use your mouse or keyboard to interact with Wizardry. This
option just lets you choose between the two.
GMode: Allows you to reference your graphics set up. You cannot change
GMode unless you reinstall Bane of the Cosmic Forge.
