Some noob questions below, but it's been so long since I've won a game that I'm being careful instead of just playing for giggles.
I'm in the Temple with all Temple gods' altars present. I've won a Draconian, but not yet a Wanderer, so I can take any god and still (if I win) add to my life list. Kiku and Yred are strong but I think I should pass because derived undead are stupid around Conjure Flame. Fedhas is strong but unfun and I don't want to play it. I've won Makh and have some experience, but no with, with Hepl. Ru and Zin are strong but I've never tried them. Sif I don't grok well, and Veh I've won but it doesn't feel that strong.
Skilling: I'm aiming for Sticky at 10%, then more defenses, then Fireball with early Lair XP. Is blowgun and Ignite Poison worth doing? It seems a roundabout way that would cost more XP to get effective than just pushing Fireball. If I find OTR, though, I'm all in on it.
Melee: Should I train up the staff, or the halberd for poking over conjured flame?
