Tileschat's been seeing this game through pretty well. One point of contention was +2 CPA I found. My defenses are 32/2 with it (32/7 with my jewelry) and, obviously, using it means forgoing spells almost entirely and taking a heavy melee malus. Tileschat seemed pretty uniformly against it, but I'm curious what the tavern thinks. Anyways, comment on that, or just more general equipment/skill choices. Changing my God is non-negotiable, since someone requested this of me specifically.

save youe ?ea for gda so you can use it for the resists
don't use cpa with no str, it doesnt even give you much better total defense

Friday, 2nd January 2015, 10:33 by Magipi

I don't see how that CPA can be an option. Sticky flame is awesome, losing it would cripple your character.

However, that scale mail you're wearing right now is also very bad. You almost surely don't have some light dragon hide I guess (you'd know if you had), so in your place I'd look for some leather or ring mail with an ego, ideally with rFire.

Skilling: I would raise Axes to 20 first, to decrease attack delay to 1 turn. I'd stop training everything else for now.

With all due respect, ring mail puts me at 17/19 defenses, and leather at 14/21, neither of which really strike me as a marked improvement. As for rF+, I have both a ring to swap to and the reflexive resistances of Qazlal, so I'm not particularly concerned about that at all.

With 13 str, CPA is mostly a no-go (As is GDA)

Scale is Ok, I find I can do better in terms of total AC/EV with ring, but that's mostly about where you put your XP.

rN+ is pretty unimportant, so if there's a higher + scale mail (Or some ring lying around that's +2 or better) that'd probably be better than a +1 scale of rN+ (MR is my favorite for body armour, but rF, and rC (if you didn't have rC on your gloves already) would also be more generally useful than rN) I'd probably switch to leather only if it was +3 or better and had a more useful resistance already.

Obviously dragon armour of the same or less Encumberance Rating as your scale would give you slightly better AC for the same or better EV and some sort of resistance, but despite what some may suggest, there's not always some available (I've gone several games without finding any)

13 Str *is* enough to use chain or plate, but you'll have a VERY large penalty to both EV and spellcasting, which would require a lot of XP to overcome, so maybe if you don't find a good suit of dragon armour, you can consider switching to that later.

You would probably afford to go without fireball if you do find some heavier armour that retains your ability to use sticky flame, but fireball is pretty darn nice, honestly I would be unlikely to trade it in for a couple more points of AC myself

A lot of times I would wear cpa when others wouldn't, but this character isn't one of them. I'm just saying this holistically - I don't think I need to give the reasons.

Unless your intended stat increases from this point out are all Str, I'd say no, for all the same reasons Tileschat likely gave.

Even if you do plan nothing but Str for the future, I still wouldnt put it on anytime soon. Just too much spell hinder there, would leave you toothless and off is the best def.

For what its worth I probably wouldnt even wear a nice plate at this point, never mind CPA.
