Encountered my first batch of creeping coins today. One thing I noticed is that their breath weapon seems to miss. A lot. While this is quite nice for my characters who don't yet know Mahalito (and Katino seriously sucks in this version), that's a blessing.
However, is breathing supposed to be able to miss like that? I never played the Apple II version, only the DOS version, and in that game breathing never missed. It always did at least 1 damage, which could make creeping coins a serious threat to early game characters.
Unrelated: is Katino really supposed to be this unreliable? It was one of the best spells in the game in the DOS version, often knocking out all but one or two of a batch of six kobolds. Here I'm lucky if it knocks out one or two.
