How can you tell what the enemy is using against you? (skills/attacks/buffs etc.)

When they cast spells, it will appear in the text screen. And you can judge some spells from their visual effects... Beyond that, though, you can't much really.

Ya I thought that might be the case...thanks for the reply.

If you show all the hit rolls in the dialogue box, you can sorta determine their AC, THAC0 and maybe their weapon. You know, your hit rolls appear like 14+1 = 15 Hit or something so you know it was a +1 weapon and you need at least 15 to hit.

Yeah, for spell buffs you can read them off. For potions you'll see "gulp" and some visual effect will happen (that's the same as when you drink the same potion).
