From Ultima Codex
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The following is a complete list of monster data for Ultima V from Prima's Official Guide to Ultima Collection:[1]

Legend:

  • Armour lists the usual value of person's armor or the toughness of a creature's hide.
  • Dmg lists how much damage a person or creature can inflict.
  • HP lists the total health points of a creature.
  • Max n. is the maximum number that are commonly encountered together.
  • Treasure % is the percentage chance the person or creature will be carrying significant treasure.
  • Exp is the number of experience points gained by slaying a creature.

People[edit]

The upper part of the table shows the townsfolk; if the Avatar attacks one of them, karma will drop and a crowd of guards will appear and attack the party. The center part of the table shows the "evil copies" of the Avatar and companions. The bottom part of the table shows characters in the game in a helpless state, where attacking them will kill them without entering the player into combat; this will be considered murder and will cause a sharp karma drop.

Default sorting is by overall power, which is calculated as the sum of Str, Dex, Int, Def, Atk and HP. In the power calculation, Armor was doubled and HP was divided by 3, so that their maximum value is 30, as per the other attributes.
