YASD - DDAK owned by Nessos
After losing good characters to incredible stupidity, I tend to try crazy builds. Rather than going easy, I go hard. After seeing Blade's post about this combo a while back, I settled on DDAK. And I can see why it's a hard build. I spent the early levels running from ogres and orc warriors, using up my heal wounds potions and 2 scrolls of recharging. But then, the game decided to be incredibly generous and gave me shop with a book of necromancy and a staff of death. So here I am in lair with a very promising character, and I'd like to not screw up this chance.
First of all, are there any good rues about keeping guys around to drain? I have a snail trapped in a room in lair, but how often should you leave guys around to drain? My bigger issue in general is how to build this character. My Necromancy is currently pretty high because I wanted to get vampiric draining useable with my shield. My biggest weakness is a lack of good ranged offense, and poor magic ability with anything that isn't necromancy. Conjure flame seems like good way to improve my offensive ability once I get it working, and good shop generation gives me plenty of options.
