If you go into your inventory and look at an item, it tells you how many movement points it takes to attack with. I’m pretty sure skill doesn’t impact it.
For reference, moving across a single square of flat ground costs 100 movement points, moving across a broken window or shrub costs 400, swinging a wrench costs 88, and swinging a 31" wide wheel costs 721 (I do not suggest using a wide wheel as a weapon).
I don’t see why anybody would consider this cheating since you can always use e’x’amine to look hundreds of feet in every direction simultaneously.
When it comes to clearing out an area, I tend to start off earlier on by finding about 60-80 storage, then picking up 30 rocks. Then I break into a house using a crowbar, and smash open a window facing towards the town center.
As the zombies approach I start throwing rocks out the window at them, when one climbs in the window I beat him to death with the crowbar, if I start to get overwhelmed (read: run out of rocks) I run through the house, out the back, then run around to the other side and grab up all the rocks and proceed to throw them all at the remaining zombies.
Do not try to pick up a huge pile of rocks all at once, each item picked up costs movement, you may end up inadvertently committing suicide.
Always remember to butcher and loot zombies, you can get a lot of great stuff off of them.[/quote]
Thanks Weyrling, always great posts!

Rofl, never even seen a 31" yet!
4 turns DAMN, thought it was more like 200… no wonder zed dogs tear me apart in windows.
I remembered seeing the movement cost for swinging, broadsword is like 120? But yeah, was wondering if that can ever decrease based on upping any skills. In crawl it’s important to get max skill for min delay on a weap.

That a badass tactic blood!! Shit, even sounds fun…
Thanks for clearing that up, if you use any matter of widening your screen size on Diablo 2, the d2 singleplayer forum i use to frequent calls you a cheater.
But it makes sense, cause you can see monsters before they can aggro/see you.
