Wizardry V Mini-Manual
Rubywand, 1998
Wizardry V is, for now, the last of the Apple II Wizardries and,
easily, the largest and best. (SirTech's classic series continues in
excellent games available for PC.)
Moving, etc.
You can use the WAXD keys or the cursor keys. Use K to open a door
("Kick" open a door).
Most current options are shown on-screen. O gives you an unobstructed
view; S toggles the character status display On/Off. To equip items,
trade items, cast healing spells, etc. go into Camp. When you have a
lantern, a character can Use it before leaving Camp to turn it On.
(Light gives you a longer forward view and helps prevent being surprised
by monsters.)
Training
Training is, mainly, where you Create characters. Another important
option is the one to change a character's Class (i.e. profession).
Character Classes and Alignment/Attribute requirements are ...
FIGHTER- can use nearly all weapons and armor/ tend to acquire high
hitpoints/ can not cast spells (req. 11 Strength)
MAGE- can cast Mage spells/ can use nearly no armor or weapons (req. 11
IQ)
PRIEST- can cast Priest spells/ can use some armor and weapons-- i.e.
can become decent fighters (not Neutral, req. 11 Piety)
THIEF- good at picking locks and detrapping chests/ use just light armor
and a few weapons-- e.g. some bows (not Good, req. 11 Agility)
BISHOP- can cast Priest and Mage spells but advances more slowly in each
area/ can Identify items for party/ can use some armor and weapons--
i.e. like the Priest, they can become decent fighters (not Neutral, req.
12 IQ, 12 Piety)
SAMURI- can use most Fighter weapons & armor/ at Level 4 they begin to
learn Mage spells/ advance more slowly than a Fighter or Mage (not Evil,
req. 15 Strength, 11 IQ, 10 Piety, 14 Vitality, 10 Agility)
LORD- can use most Fighter weapons & armor/ at Level 4 they begin to
learn Priest spells/ advance more slowly than a Fighter or Priest (must
be Good, req. 15 Strength, 12 IQ, 12 Piety, 15 Vitality, 14 Agility, 15
Luck)
NINJA- can use most Fighter weapons & armor but fights best with bare
hands and gains armor class improvements via Level advances if not
wearing armor/ can kill with a single blow (must be Evil, req.
17 for all Attributes)
Note: Changing class resets a character's Attributes to the minimum for
that character's race and Experience goes to zero. Depending upon the
new class's magic abilities, the character will retain part or all of
the spells from the previous class.
Note: At Training you are dealing with characters in the Roster, which
includes all created characters. Your current party is always disbanded.
Utilities
You can get to the Utilities at the Edge of Town menu. In Utilities you
can Change a character's name, Move in characters from earlier Wizardry
scenarios, and Restart an "Out" party-- i.e. 'Restore a game' saved via
a Quit while in the Maze.
Gilgamesh's
This is where you go to form a party. You can also view characters and
equip weapons and do some other party organization chores here.
Adventurers' Inn
This is where you go to rest and recover hitpoints & spells and find out
whether or not you have advanced in Level. The difference between the
rest in the stables (option "A") and the others is that the stables are
free and you usually do not recover hitpoints in the stables.
Boltac's
Here you can Buy & Sell weapons, armor, supplies (like a lantern), and
various other items. Boltac will also Identify items for a fee. (A
bishop in your party can identify items, too. How well depends upon the
bishop's Level.)
Temple of Cant
For a fee you can have characters healed of various serious conditions
such as Paralysis, Death, etc.. To be helped, the character must not be
included in the current party-- i.e. you may have to stop by Gilgamesh's
to Remove a character before going to the Temple to have him/her healed.
Saving the Game
At the Edge of Town you can Leave the game. This does a Save and offers
the option of continuing play. You can turn Off your Apple II, exit your
emulator, etc. after the Save. The next time you boot the game (or, if
you choose to continue play), you will need to reform your party at
Gilgamesh's.
Another Save option is Quick Save which you can do in the Maze. If you
Press Q while in the Maze you can save your position. If you, then, do a
Quit while in the Maze (or, the power goes out), you can restore to your
last saved position when the game is next booted by going to Utilities
and selecting Restart an "Out" Party.
Magic
Spells are divided into Mage & Priest groups and into 7 levels per
group. A character can cast spells if a number appears in the Mage or
Priest 'Magic Points' lists. Example:
Mage 2/2/0/0/0/0/0/ Priest 2/0/0/0/0/0/0/
The above indicates the character can cast 2 spells from the Mage Level
1 group, 2 spells from the Mage Level 2 group, and 2 spells from the
Priest Level 1 group. Each casting uses up a point. Points can be
restored by resting at the Adventurers' Inn or at magic fountains in the
Maze.
The particular spells available to a character in each group and Level
are found by the Read option while viewing ("Inspect"ing) a character.
In most cases, the caster's Level determines whether or not a spell
works and how well. For example, DESTO is more likely to unlock a locked
door for a Level 5 mage than for one at Level 1.
