I probably want to train Ice Magic for ozo's at some point which gives me access to condensation shield, which I believe allows offhand punching. But I also have the Shield of Resistance, so idk. Also wondering, since I have some levels in hexes and some free spell slots, I could pick up slow or confuse (or both actually, but that sounds redundant), which is better (I'm thinking probably slow)? Neither will be that great because of bad spellpower, of course...

[and into]

I'd use the shield of resistance, train shield skill to 6.6 (which will EDIT: negate spell casting penalty; 9 skill levels will negate the evasion penalty), and get some more dodging for higher EV before anything else. You could then work on training up a bit of magic if you want, yeah. I'd probably avoid hexes for this character, except confusing touch if you want to use that.

[duvessa]

I'd use the shield of resistance, train shield skill to 6.6 (which will negate penalty entirely for this character so long as it stays in armor that is no more cumbersome than a robe)

This is wrong, that only negates the casting penalty. A large species needs 9 to eliminate shield melee and evasion penalties no matter what their armour is.
(Also, shields have a 50% chance of adding an extra 1 aut delay to every unarmed attack, no matter what your skills are like.)

[and into]

I was wrong about some of the details with the amount of shield skill needed, OP (thanks duvessa for the correction). But otherwise the advice itself is sound.

[Sar]

I would use a +0 shield on a Troll as soon as I would find it. Shield of Resistance is absurdly good for this character.

[ackack]

I would use a +0 shield on a Troll as soon as I would find it. Shield of Resistance is absurdly good for this character.

I agree with the overall assessment of shield of resistance. Re: when I would start using a shield on a troll, I typically wait until I have some actual combat skill first. Maybe this is misguided, but it's unclear to me that a zero skill shield is a net win in terms of survivability on a UC character, since the relatively low SH is mitigated by the impact on your offense. Once you have some UC most fights are trivial and you can afford to take the short term hit while training it up.

What do you think would look good on me? I've also got a +6 ring of evasion lying around somewhere with the Shield of Resistance (which I figured is worse than this shield but not really sure).

So many mikee item...

A quick suggestion: use a staff of wizardry to cast your spells. This actually saves a lot of xp, especially on a troll. The rest can be put into fighting, which will help you rip everything apart even more. Shield of resistance might be better for like, zot, but yes you don't need it over this other shield beforehand.
