~10-20 dungeon levels away from the sun, this might be problematic

Nausea was quite annoying and not much of a challenge. Think of how many times it actually hurt you. Usually, it just meant that you had to go some place and press 5 for a while, since it did more to affect the time between fights than the fights themself. Some changes have been made semi-recently t...

Nothing else you can do with that exp is going to give your character a 50% power boost. If you find a wand of hasting, that reduces the benefit but haste's still far from wasted. The amount of fights in which haste will make a significant difference is a lot larger than the amount of haste charges ...

Sounds like you aren't training your spell skills enough - getting level 6 spells even in plate is very doable. Most commonly haste, of course, but there's no reason you couldn't take others especially in medium armour (fire dragon armour, etc.).

it's itisosis

start by curing your use of -itis

I think Makhleb would be better than Qaz for this (heals-on-kills being better than clouds, especially if you are recklessly tabbing with axes).

if you're having trouble with random nothingness i think a few french guys wrote guides on how to deal with that

mutations have that sweet str +2

(my point was never that wearing shields is a bad idea with Op, just that the blocking OoD example doesn't prove anything, fwiw. Also, there's no a after the d in 'pandemonium', and apropos "looking for reasons to be offended", none of your characters have been raped)

when pressed to make a choice between SF and Nmut as an Op of Chei I dunno what would I pick

I didn't mean to advocate for SF, personally I'd probably stick to blade hands or something.

a URL scrawled on a napkin with no context is approximately 1000x cooler than a business card, keep doing what you're doing

Getting anything in the line of fire of mutaters, getting out of LoS (?fog, corners, etc.) or simply killing them (since a lot of them can be killed in one turn by a character in extended, think neqoxecs and shining eyes) is also 100% mutation protection that doesn't require you to invest in a level...

We're all in awe

Yeah, that's a vault that always contains mostly mimics.

Yes (also, re: "surviving the madness", >)

Personally I would either continue with Maxwell's or enchant and wear the CPA (I'd make the choice dependent on the amount of ?enchant armour available - if you can surpass Maxwell's AC by a couple points, enchant the CPA and use it. Don't forget to enchant your boots). You don't want to teleport mu...

With regards to your acquirement strategy, /hasting tends to be more important than /healing, so even if you have /healing it is often a good idea to acquire wand (because of this, and what crate said).

When I was a kid I was so much better at Minesweepers than I am now that it's just sad

So then it was a standard OOD spawn. And yes, it's just you, frost giants have always killed characters with 6 AC and it seems like he got a couple melee hits in. Even with a cold branded weapon, the majority of melee damage is physical, and it seems like the bolts of cold were secondary to that.

Hill giants don't spawn naturally on D:5 or anything like that in trunk. If you spent a long time on the level, harder monsters start spawning and that probably caused the hill giant. If not, there are still occasional out of depth spawns. from learndb: The maximum possible is a 9 level difference, ...

Alistair's is pretty good. I suppose if you have the slots it's the correct choice to get condensation shield even with no Ice Magic, but the gain from it will be marginal and I would just ignore it.

Clicked on this thread to post suicide helpline links :(

They pounce, grab their prey in their front claws and teeth (a kind of constriction), and eviscerate their victims with forceful kicks of their sharp hind claws. Let this vicious attack be their special ability. They scratch you over the wrists, run outside to escape consequences, almost get killed...

Random blinks allow escape from any speed 10 melee monster (iguanas, jellies, ogres, orc warriors, etc.). If you a formicid, you can't ?blink, teleport or haste away. Granted, if you end up to one of these unable to kill it it was probably an avoidable mistake, but it happens, and also, you can take...

You do want to use animate dead a lot. Just look at the stats of many Vaults/Depths monsters (particularily dragons, giants and the like) and consider that you'll have multiple zombies with you, then compare their damage output and defensive utility with other level 4 spells (or any other spell a Vp...

ever heard that saying that you shouldn't complain about the darkness if you can light a candle

rN allows resisting part of torment damage (not beyond rN+++, obviously). Otherwise, your only options are some spells (statue form, necromutation), Kiku or being undead. So you have pretty much no access to rTorment.

I've been trying to win MuCK for a very long time now, I previously had one with Zot:5 cleared, but then decided to do extended and died while confused on Elf:3.

it becomes an optimal strategy to either carry around a bunch of random weapons to drop and use, or set up killing fields with tons of weapons already there. You mean like when people make poison arrow fields to use ignite poison on? I understand that, but remember it would cost around 5 mana to ra...

Casting takes 10 aut, the same time a human without movement speed modifiers needs to take a step. It's affected only by Haste and Slow, in the same way they affect any other action. This also applies to actions like evoking wands or elemental evokers, quaffing potions, and reading scrolls. Swiftnes...

Silver damages chaotic enemies: shapeshifters, mutaters, ugly things, abominations, Tiamat, Killer Klowns, apocalypse crabs, chaos spawns, demonspawn enemies according to the learndb.

He could fly and went away from the hellion island, yes. There are never 2 on one pan level and if hellion island spawns, the lord spawns there.

Freezing tends to be a bit better than flaming, but the difference is small. Thus I wouldn't have opted for a backup weapon just because of the rebranding. Dire flails are very good weapons (they are essentially two-handed demon blades). Depending on the brand and how early in the game you are, ench...

First of all, congratulations. Your great mace reaches mininum attack delay at 20 skill. Training beyond this point gives accuracy and damage bonuses, but it is a point of diminishing returns. As such, it would have been a good idea to use the exp you invested in M&F levels 20-27 in something el...

You might want to use the launcher for +Blink, evade or resists, not firing it.
