Rogue-likes! (not a discussion of the correct use of the term)

Chalk that up to the flaws of anecdotal evidence-gathering

Nopes. And please don't make assumptions. If you don't believe me, that's fine. But we're talking possibly hundreds of games. I have 50 (!!) games on my high score list since re-installing a few days ago.

Let me know if you want a screenshot of that. I usually don't bother - but just say the word.

So let me say again: I know for an absolute certainty, that in 50 games (not all of which has been priests, obviously), a single - one - offensive spell tome has dropped.

In my previous games, before re-downloading with the graphics hokus-pokus, I believe one, single, offensive spell tome dropped. That's a grand total of .... Two! In what might actually be something like 200 games or more.

And that's not counting drops for mages, of course, since they clearly get lots. Just other classes. And I've seen a good few for classes with zero casting ability - like troll barbarians, for instance.
