A new advanced player class has been added: BARDS!
Accessible from the chapter 2 castle hall, all (!) starter classes can choose to become a bard.
A Bard is versatile, but a master of none. Except ... 6 specific bard skills and 16 instrument-based powers. A total of 22 new player actions!
Instruments are the bard insignia items, found in shops and very rarely as loot.
Also in this update:
- 6 bard-related achievements.
- 8 instrument shops
- 7 bard skill trainers
- a unique instrument as arena award. but the solo arena challenge is: taking on the avatar. And he is pretty angry about being booted from the game!
- the SLEEP condition. so far only inflicted by the bard skill, but soon monsters may do it as well. Sleep breaks if hurt.
- lessened JUGGERNAUGHT restriction from ‘no jewelry’ to ‘no rings’
- righteousness feat now gives 10 div/emp for ANY class
- change to MISFITS and MONKEYS and DARK LORD fixed party challenges: lowered their difficulty by 1 and improved the XP cap. Lowered DRAGONS difficulty from 8 to 6.
- undead dragon guardian spawns at zero distance now (intentionally deadly if you can’t handle him)
- added small chance for priest insignia to have a holy curse bonus
- reduced the stun chance for (new) boomerangs from 70% to 62%, and increased the attack time.
- insignia with two rolled boosts to the same stat/skill/spell now show these as ONE line

- DUNGEONS OF CHAOS Linux [120.28 M]
A game where you can create your party of 6 characters with a few clicks, or spend more time creating a customised party with feats unlocked in previous plays. Where exploration is encouraged and rewarded, with no level cap, non-linear side quests and a vast array of items, item properties, shops and enemies.
The game already has over 30000 happy players on other platforms, and most often they mention the likeness to 80s RPGs like Ultima or the goldbox games. It is retro. Your hand will not be held. It does not try to have realistic 3D graphics. It is not multiplayer, and never will be. If you long for the days when you traded your sleep for a chance to direct a party of adventurers through pixelated lands of exploration and battle glory, then you may want to give it a try.
And as all existing players already know, all fans and myself help out with tips and tricks, mostly on the facebook page but also on my blog if you prefer that. I do not provide or encourage having a complete-detail wiki somewhere, as the fan interaction on questions and strategy are a very enjoyable part of the game. So come join our community of DoC addicts and play a game where a troll is still a hairy monster you can kill, where there are no level caps, where you are not confined by a slim storyline path, and where it all starts with fighting rats in a cave/cellar. Fans have usually spent anything upwards of 80 hours playing it.
P.S.: apologies in advance for the puns in the game, but to my defence some were added by fans so if it is a bad joke you are reading on some tombstone or note just pretend it's from a fan and not me. ;-)
P.P.S.: I am very open to fixing bugs or typos. But I mostly use British English, so don't flag non-American English spelling/syntax please.
