playing Crawl and skills/exp management is fun(thats why I like DCSS);

still it is not guaranteed that I will find lich form, and prolonging game by searching for it (when I already have other tool which is ok to do a job) and farming exp is whats tedious (at least for me)

Why not learn the actually good form that makes you immune to torment without making you slow, then? because getting lich form is tedious, can put that exp somewhere else, can't quaff potions, have to care about not to be confused; it is rare spell, and mostly I finish a game before I find it or ev...

Slow or not slow, moving or standing, you'll get tormented in the extended anyway sometimes. When torment hits me I don't care much about if I have 50 or 59 AC, I care if I have rN, and torment reduction just come handy

Correct. However, it takes away their natural AC mutation too, so it's pretty bad for nagas. I always would pick 50% reduction to torment, +50% damage bonus to melee attacks, +30HP (and some other stuff) over 9 AC. Using a hand axe as a weapon can win a 15 rune game (especially with other non-weapo...

If you have enough piety you can kill it with just one Slouch, no need to see it.

Melee ogre with giant clubs can be examlpe of an glass-cannon too. And you can easily have ranged attack with large rocks.
