CIP DsWz Changing plans?
He started out well, finding a Young Poisoner's handbook on D:3.
It's got some nice spells, like Cure Poison, OTR and Venom Bolt. So I leaned a bit more towards poison (was going to do some anyways because of Mephitic Cloud). I still haven't found a Kiku altar by D:6, but I just found a book of Annihilations.
Now I'm wondering if I even want to continue to Kiku and Necromancy, or maybe try an alternate tack. He's got all the offensive spells he could want. Actually, more than he can use, since I'll only be doing a 3 rune game, having never won at all, and I doubt I can get those L9 spells online before I've won or died.
If I decide to go with a different god, what do you recommend? I don't really see much need for Vehumet or Sif Muna as far as spell gifts, but their other powers might be nice. Or maybe I should go with a god who can help round out the character in other directions?
Suggestions would be appreciated. Remember, I'm fairly inexperienced, I've only had one game where I even got any runes (a MiBe who got gossamer and decaying before splatting on V:3). I've ascended a number of times in Nethack, so I'm not really a novice at rougelikes, but I haven't gotten the hang of DCSS yet.
