arg. now with the weapons.
I have two swords, a longsword 1d8 and a broadsword 1d7+1. what is the d for? is it the same thing as saying 1-8 and 1-7+1?
-
DV is Defense Value (dodging), PV is Protection Value (basicly armor).
The 'd' in weapons stands for dice, so the 1d7 + 1 sword can do 2 to 8 damage while the other would be 1 to 8Comment

ADOM != D&D
d6 = a normal six-sided dice (1-6)
2d6 = 2 six-sided dice rolled together and added (2-12)
d12 = a twelve-sided dice (1-12)
The thing to bear in mind is not mimimul and maximum, but average damage. You'll be swinging that sword a lot.
d8 (1-8) has an average of 4.5
d7+1 (2-8) has an average of 5
2d4 (2-8) has an average of 5 too, but has a lower chance of doing maximum damage than d7+1
Really its a matter of taste and statistics.

thank you both, it makes sense now.
well, except one thing. if its a 1d6+1 is the 1 added to the result? i.e. if it rolls 2 I actually do 3 damage?Comment

Yes.

so that means my orc that just died who had a cursed hammer of (-1, 1d10+9) would have been a bad ass if he didnt die? For future refrence should I avoid the random encouters?Comment

1D10+9! Nasty weapon!

But it has a -1 to hit as well, so its bad too. And if its cursed... well, try and drop it
