Well, my response is: stay the hell away from Time Hounds. (Time
Vortices, OTOH, are just an incredibly nasty inconvenience.) The
other monsters that might breathe time do so extremely rarely.
In any case, I suffer significantly fewer Time attacks in a game than
I find Mushrooms of Restoring.
I suppose a detection-less, ESP-less warrior at 2500' could have an
awful time of it. But them's the breaks.
