Is it a trick, or do some of you actually use it ?

I think I never wielded it among the many times I found it ...

It's definitely possible to sleep-stab TRJ, I remember doing it before. I don't really liked it btw because you find yourself surronded by jellies with your fragile stabber... I wondered if OP wanted stabbing to be part of the question, or pure melee damage... Edit : it's actually a challenge called...

How does seeded game work ? Offline only I guess ?

While playing my previous character, I discovered some new 0.25 spells and thought I had to play every elementalist very soon. As the Bog spell was teasing me a lot, I decided to start with VM. The plan was very simple : play a melee VM using OTR + Ignite Poison as main weapon early, and then as a s...

Yeah, I've had luck with Xom. Initially, I thought, why would anyone want to play like that. But once I gave it a try, found it was pretty fun. Can be pretty helpful confusing monsters, summoning guys for you. At one point, I probably had the following from mutations +6 AC, +4 str, +2 dex, clarity,...

More general comments, I would not train transmutations so much so early. UC/Fighting/Dodging are more important early on. Everything before Lair is handled by Spider Form (which is really cheap), and everything in Lair can be handled by Ice Form. Ice Form can be better than Blade Hands in many cas...

You already have 1 pip of every resistance, and MR+++, so I'd say that shield of resistance isn't mandatory. On the one hand, vamp lajatang is a very good weapon, you can use it all game long. On the other hand, both +9 eveningstar and +6 dtrident are very good. It's really up to you, I'd swap when ...

The 2 last days, I splatted so much good characters... I was totally tilted (best mindset for playing crawl...). I decided to throw a random Mu I'd be happy to splat any time soon. But...

I just answer about the last question that hasn't been discussed yet : Undeadhunter. It can be good but is also very situationnal. If you plan to get Tomb rune this can help. For a 15 runes games you'll have too much experience anyway, so you can train some Maces levels, but only do it when on point...

You can only use it for foes that are already adjacent.

I played a lot of Op, and had a lot of fun with OpTm^Chei . I also think Chei is the god I have the most wins on ;) Some general advice for those characters : ⋅ With Chei you ultimately want 12-14 Invo to get Step from Time reliable, that's your panic button (the truth is that you want 27 ...

Vaults:5 is a really hard place, and should generally not be done right after Vaults:1-4. I usually clear Depths before, and often consider slimy or abyssal as my third rune. We could discuss about some emergency options : ?fog, turn invisible (while hasted, you have few turns before Contam is an is...

A classic Tm here, I wonder if I should learn Confusing Touch.

It indeed could have been possible, but the main purpose of the game was to get those 50k gold (for title reasons...). I tried 2 shops and had none of those, so I decided to just go and win !

You climb downwards. You hear the roar of battle. There is an entrance to a bailey on this level.

I had been eager to get this Plutacrat title for a long time, but I also didn't want too much grinding. That's why I planned a 15-runes Gnoll and considered maybe entering a Zig later on. Sadly, I wasn't very lucky with mutations. Evolution gave me teleportitis and I got blurry vision while quaffing...

Don't bother getting shields to 15 for now, 13 is already enough. You need 2 more Polearms levels for trident mindelay. Do you have any branded spear somewhere ? It could be good as well. With Kiku, a pain spear is totally viable for 3-5 runes. I would focus on Fighting + Necromancy for then Armour ...

OoF malmutations are generally not a problem because 90+% of the time, you'll get them in Zot:5 and you're just going to ascend soon. In the worst case (let say teleportitis or berserkitis), just quaff !mutation and get rid of it...

You have a scroll of acquirement. Use it ASAP : armour are always a good bet. I would get Blink + Swiftness + Apportation online. Not of big fan of Mephitic Cloud but I admit you could use it with good benefit. Training some Evocations as many suggested is a good idea. It can be paired with using th...

Use Spriggan's knife for stabs, it's actually a dagger-type weapon.

I'd definitely learn Passwall, as you get a free stab-turn. If you plan staying in medium armour, I'd also train some Stealth for more stabs and better ones.
