I'd like to say Cj has that dps like berserk, especially the level 2 pre-lair and level 5 spell rest of the game. You can also blind foes for range issues, and use prisms against packs. And u can detonate your prisms by attacking them.

You also get hexes and charms unlocked with the start book.

I autoexplore b/c i live dangerously.

I think going for a hybrid is just being efficient with what you decide to use for it. This would vary with character creation and god choices.

DGs can hybrid well because of 2stats every 3 levels. When i make DG casters I go for mostly Int, and raise str when I want to upgrade armour.

Yeah make the game less about survival and more about adding things with bigger stats to make it feel of danger.

Demi-God is all all about stats. Demi-God's need more stats. Adding Chei to me made Demi-God stats look bad.

You're MiBe. Use Trog's Hands liberally. Use Berserk if anything tough shows it's face. Use brother's if more then one tough things shows up or on a Rune floor with a Boss. Train the first skills u have exclusively. Don't need a shield unless your find a strong vampire or holy wrath single hander, a...

I always found past 5# or 6# of spell power to be too demanding in costs for anything except pure casters. Can be easier with a God's assistance.

You can focus down on one aspect of the hybrid at a time or shift training at some goal like master one spell level then switch to min delay for x amount of levels.

All depends on your choices.

When I cast, I prefer to cast as much as possible. Even with one # of hunger cost my casters are always hungry, and I love to save perma food extended or when starving pops up. Starting from level 1 I would reduce the hunger cost to nothing, first. Second, I would bring the spell power two ## short ...

Liberal use of cleansing flame against groups. Spam angels against every boss. Find a wand of healing and save recharge scrolls for it. Save the potions of curing for some bosses that can poison u bad. Max invocations out first. Then I would max evocables. Just focus on getting the runes and not map...

Did you calculate the rage bonus?

How do you activate it intentionally? I'd like to know because I suffer from this effect and I find it h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s.

Running head first into the fray to see how easily they kill you. This is how you do it when you don't care that much about it.

The solution to every problem ppl have toward "tedium" is simple. Make every floor dangerous and exciting! As far as how many levels you need on something, that is simple as well. It's controlled by how much xp each mob gives. The idea being how much xp or character levels should this grou...

Use regen often. Use berserk when it's only a few foes, not against packs. Use BoA when in trouble, three uses is usually good enough.

That dodge is so low I wouldn't bother taking the shield off. All you really need is regen, spells to boost damage for melee, more escape spells, and some tactic to quickly close in on tormentors. I think the most dangerous thing in Pan is getting red poison which can happen. It is possible to manag...

It's fine to skip lair branches if you don't have the resistances for it. The area of the game that will make your character strong enough to win the game will most likely be in clearing Vaults, Crypt and Depths. By that point all your key skills should be 20+. Some character combos can even farm ab...

Vampire. But a ranged wand of healing and Pain with infinite charges sounds amusing to me.

If you give a Minotaur Beserker a vamp axe it's not going to die against 99% of what crawls throws at you. Only things I find dangerous to a strong melee with vamp branded weapon is as follows: 1. Damnation/Hell fire - This is threatening to everyone. HP depletes fast. 2. Torment - and only with pac...

I'd rather see archmage given over wizardry. Could be a 6 pip bonus. Talk about game breaking.

Yeah reflection is awesome for Elf and against casters in general. In fact I usually want it every time i'm around a LCS or bolt caster.

Cj is pretty strong. If anything, it only needs a large mana pool.

With oka it makes sense to branch into a magic school. His skill boost allows you to branch into magic early, and you never need to cap those skills.

Going to want a decent amount of EV and SH before you start training if you go that route. I try to aim for 20 or 25.

Once your focus the tormentors it's not so bad.

I like game mechanics that are designed to have a chance to end a run. But, the player should also be given the choice to avoid or try to avoid with intent those mechanics. In this case, it used to be detect traps. Now I think it's an INT check if i'm not mistaken. Don't remember. Maybe he's made be...

I'm only interested in the water nymphs. All, of the water nymphs. I rest my case.

I have yet to find a combo that couldn't work yet.

I though the point was all wands that weren't heal wounds were useless?

My thoughts are:

Stay 2-handed.
Just train Fighting, Axe, Armour and Dodge. They will be max level before extended.

I often avoid Tomb without Silence. can always get it online clearing Zot. only thing that seems to help is spamming angels. to clear that last area.

Also, use needles on the hard hitters. AS is a build that seems to need some good god support for melee.

Better idea:

Spawn generic wands with no spells. Enchant wands with spells you have learned. one charge = spell level in mana. max charge = player level. Max number of wands = 1. Wand slot now created. yay another ability effect!
Have gods charge wands with spells based on their choosing.

Just make cyclops spawn more often with a herd of sheep close to them. Remove large rocks. makes Cyclops always throw sheep. Give cyclops grab range of three tiles to throw sheep. Make sheep explode when thrown. Explosion can cause wall disintegration. After explosion mini sheep a spawned. Kinda lik...

The first spell you memorize from a starter book is typically good enough for the first several levels. Then, the second or third level spell is good enough for beefy, hard hitters or all those annoying poisonous creatures that the first spell will have trouble damaging. Then you get a high level 4t...

The club will only do poorly with low skill level when fighting more than one creature adjacent to you for the most part.

I'd rather just have Ely focus on not needing to kill at all. And Zin laying down the brimstone and preaching.

Water Nymphs can drown me all they want.

I just go down the main dungeon until it feels scary, then head to lair. Scary being not fire/ice res and dragons. Biggest threat always seems to be blink frogs in lair.

Plenty of places you can train that staff up. Orc, Elf, Lair branches. Almost never need to train my primary skills in those places. Dungeon, Lair, Depth, Vault, Crypt take care of that.

Easy backgrounds are Conjurer, Ice, Fire, Earth and Poison for pure casting. Easy races are anything that have higher aptitudes for magic schools. It's the most easiest to level the primary spell school involved with your books level one spell for the most part. If the books give you choices you can...

Only thing I ever found worth stashing was evocables and books. evocables like wands because there's so much, and it's worth stashing them if you use them in that game. Books because I can have them all on the same tile and memorize through the entire stack.

All formula should be written in a way that the hardware should be able to process in the most efficient manner possible. Or were we devolving into the "don't think, but feel" society?

All formula shall now be done in DnD format. Dice role! 1d100

Chei is nice if you're after very high ac/ev/sh.

I just random background/first god I find a lot. Keeps it interesting.

What's really being said is that without that extra pair gloves the Fo is not getting the full body protection benefits other races receive since they only have a pair of hands covered. Half of a Fo's hands are exposed to danger every game. I suppose a Fo could just wear a shield to protect two hand...

Water Nymphs are always tough to beat. All that drowning...

yeah vamp melee makes the game a joke. It's always a breeze. back in the day, i'd carry vamp hand axe all the through lair, slowly killing death yaks, and never really dying with all the healing...

Problem with tab is that sometimes monsters just pop out of nowhere due to spawn. And maybe your tile is jinxed so you are getting hit for higher damage due to bad roles.

Just wield a axe, that'll rip through stuff just trying to move into it's space.

No, Gods were shaped in the imagine of man, our ideas, and nature. So they will have a gender or be a tree hugging hippy.

Well taking into account the definition of lethal, then yes, a rock is just as lethal as a gun. A thrown rock or gun at someone can be lethal if thrown properly. You could always counter argue that a bullet will always be more likely to end a life when it rips through a persons internals. Most debat...
