Ultima I question

[Adam J. Cook]

Can anyone point me to a site with stat info on weapons and armour in
Ultima I? Which weapons should only be used as range weapons? I'm
using a blaster, but don't know if I should use it for close range as
well. Any info appreciated.

Actually, Ultima I is quite simple in scope and design. There are no seen
penalties as far as I can tell for using ranged weapons at point blank.
Here's what I can tell you.

1. Weapons higher up in the weapon hierarchy do more damage (i.e. (a) Hands
do the least amount of damage, while (I forget the letter) Blaster does the
most). Exceptions are rope & spikes (a tool to get out of pitfalls),
amulets, wands, staves, and triangles (all magic boosting items for
spellcasters).

2. Ditto for armour.

3. Vacuum suits and reflect suits will allow you to survive outer space.

4. Bow & arrow, pistol, phaser, and blaster allow you to attack up to 3
spaces away. Again, no apparent penalties for close range attack.

As far as I can tell, if you boost your stats up generously and have a
blaster, your attack should be effective anywhere within your attack range.
Have fun.
