CiP- DsGl of Usk. What should I do for Ranged?
Hey all!
I'm currently in Lair and have got long blades to 14 (mindelay for falchion and longsword), and I'm wondering where to skill from here. I've got my hands on the EE starting book, the IE starting book, and the book of clouds, so I'm thinking of making this character a mage hybrid. I've also got the demonspawn mutation that lowers the encumberance of armor, which would also help with this strategy. However, it might take a while before I have any real ranged help online from magic so I'm wondering if it might be better to focus defense for now and then increase slings instead.
Advice?
