[CiP] OpFE - Smartest Octopus ever

I finally got an Octopode off the ground! I found a plethora of shops, with items which have helped me amass 38 int at lvl 12 (just entered lair). First, with this much int, should I start putting stat gains into dex instead of more int?

Also, just got Ignite Poison and am about to do lair, I hear good things about the spell in that area.

Re: [CiP] OpFE - Smartest Octopus ever

AFAIK ignite poison has been changed so you can now only ignite poison in stuff you yourself put there. No more firestorming lite a bee hive, you need to learn poison magic or use poison weapon, so its been reduced in usefulness by about 95%.

Yes, can confirm; Ignite Poison does nothing without poising stuff yourself now. How boring. I need to find a scroll of amnesia.

Yes so he can kill stuff with his evasion. Brilliant advice... I think I would rather go for greater spell power + greater spell success and even reduced hunger for what its worth.
