KoHu of Dithmenos - advice?
Hey guys.
So far, I've only won with Gr - My latest character as a MiBe with 6 runes that splatted against Mnoleg (but hey, I saw several levels of pan, and a ziggurat too!)
So I wanted to change gears at switched to another combo that I really enjoy: Kobold stabbing hunter. Dithmenos is the natural complement, although I might try it with a different god another time.
The good news are a +5 dagger of speed, a ring of invisibility which works very well, a crossbow as backup, and stealth.
The bad news are, the time something with sInv appears my only alternative is to try and shoot it full of bolts or run the f**k away. I have zero resistances and low defenses (save for 22 EV). I can't even cast meaningful spells yet - my low int being a bit of a hurdle there.
I'd like to hear any advice or directions you have that could help me carrying this character somewhere comparable to the others, just reaching Vaults I'd be satisfied.
