CiP: Spriggan Enchanter of Dith

So after winning a 6 rune victory on my last version of this guy, I'm going for a 15 rune win this time. I've had some really great luck with weapons, but I'm at a crossroad now. I only have a few areas left before I dive into Hell/Pan, so I'm looking for general opinions on how I've set things up. I have books with cBlink, Deflect Missile and Phase Shift that I plan to learn once my skills are high enough and I have available spell slots. I'd also like to ramp up my short blades skill to increase stab damage for very high hit point targets. I also plan to increase my Fighting skill further, probably to 27. I'll need all the HP I can get. One very troubling thing is that I have not found a source of rMutation yet. That's making me very nervous. Oh, also, would it be worth my time to train some armor and use that PDA I found? How much armor would I need to train to remove all the casting/EV penalties?

Looks like you had a particularly epic battle with Roka.
Lord of Lignification, we bow down to you.

...why aren't you bowing? Stop reading this and bow.

Re: CiP: Spriggan Enchanter of Dith

Pan and Slime are really risky without rMut, but doable if you're quick on the draw in regards to malmutating monsters.

Overall, you have two choices when it comes to getting runes: Actually killing their guardians, or just ninjaing them and running.

The first option is probably ill-advised for a spriggan, seeing as Antaeus and his 700 HP will laugh at you before promptly squishing you like a bug. However, if you do want to do that, getting some more spellpower in Iron Shot wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'd strongly recommend the latter: spriggans are fast and frail, the less time you spend in the line of sight of a scary monster the better. If Apportation is available, memorize it immediately - it can save you precious turns.

Oh, and no matter what you do, get Spellcasting high enough to remove the spell hunger from Haste. You're going to be casting that a lot in Pan and Hell, and food is a spriggan's most valuable resource.

Re: CiP: Spriggan Enchanter of Dith

Roka and his damned crossbow were very troublesome. I can't believe the amount of freaking crossbows I've seen in this run. I have two huge stacks of them tucked into corners of the vault because it was getting so bad that every humanoid I came up against whipped one out and started pincushioning me. I have apportation available, so I'll grab it before I dive for the harder runes. I'll follow your suggestion about Haste as well. I've got a 15 rune win with a Gargoyle, so I mostly know what to expect. Anyone have any thoughts about putting on the pearl dragon armor? I'm inclined not to do it, but I could use the extra AC/GDR.

I don't think you can remove casting penalties from PDA with armour skill. Armour skill reduces AEVP by 2.2% per level in armour.

Edit: I should have said, I don't think you can *completely* remove casting penalties with armour skill

Re: CiP: Spriggan Enchanter of Dith

It's academic at this point since I splatted on an Orb of Fire as soon as I entered Zot:1. Forgot to put on my rF+ rings. *facepalm* Anyway, the wiki says this,"...each level in the Armour skill increases the base AC of a piece of armour by a little over 4%. The Armour skill also partially defrays your armour's encumbrance rating, making it easier to evade attacks or cast spells. However, no amount of Armour skill will reduce the stealth penalties of armour. " That sure sounds like armor skill decreases casting penalties. The formula in the second link supports this.

Re: CiP: Spriggan Enchanter of Dith

It's true that you can reduce the penalties that way, however you usually won't train _to_ reduce the penalties since it's very small - it takes 45 armour skill for all armour (possible exception for super light stuff with no shield?). You train armour skill in PDA to get AC - 10 AC at 22 skill, plus more from aux slots. If your spell failure rates are too high, you almost always want more spell skills instead, or a source of wizardry. To raise your evasion in armour, train dodging.
