CiP VpEn^Dith with Growing Pains

Alright, so after a bit of a sabbatical from crawl, I've gotten back into the swing of things by checking out the new changes to trunk. After splatting a series of very disappointing High Elf Skalds, I've developed a love affair with the Vampires, particularly how much they benefit from no more weight restrictions. It's nice to be able to have a full inventory and still fly away in bat form with 3 strength. I've cleared the swamp and Orc and Lair, but I'm having some growing food problems with what is an otherwise promising character. I feel like Vampire suffer a lot from no real source of permafood...

Right now I'm looking for advice on what skills to develop heading into the late game, and how I'm supposed to tackle the extended game like this. Even though I'll probably blow this character soon, I'd like some advice on how to make the combo work. How do I transition from sleep stabbing everything and drinking their blood to surviving in an environment of magic resistant monsters that leave no corpses. Even in the Spider Nest I have to run back to the orc mines just to get bottles of blood to take with me every few floors.

Re: CiP VpEn^Dith with Growing Pains

I wouldn't train any more hexes, stealth, or short blades.

Enchant the hat and boots if you have enchant armor scrolls. On this character I might just prefer a standard +1 or +2 cloak over that randart, actually.

Hex-Stabbing + Summoning/Necromancy is a classic combination, so that's a solid overall strategy. Shadow Creatures alone will kill what you can't stab in the mid- and late game.

For right now, I would train a bit of translocation for Blink since you got that memorized and a bit more summonings for abjuration if you want. Then I would get more dodging (definitely) and probably a bit more armor skill, maybe 8 or 9. Stop right after you get another point of bonus AC. Train dodging till you get EV in the solid mid-20s. Then some fighting for more HP wouldn't go amiss. All of this skill training will happen pretty fast, since those skills are at a fairly low level.

After that, I'd get a good summoning spell online as backup against stuff you have trouble taking out with hexes and stabbing.

You should be carrying a blowgun and curare (if available) rather than a lot of those short blades. Just use the cutlass of electrocution and enchant that up, it is your best weapon.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
