CeHu of Makhleb
I've played this game on and off for a long time but never managed to go very far.
I currently have one of my most promising characters ever thanks to a find in a bailey:
the +10 fire dragon scales of the Forest (worn) {rPois rF++ rC- MR+ Regen+}
My AC has jumped from 9 to 21 (22 with a +1 cloak of poison resistance also found in the bailey) and I feel much safer for exploring the dungeon.
My strategy has been to use my bow for dangerous creatures and some short blade for the others. I'd appreciate any advice for which skills to train from now on and/or strategy (in particular, if you think I should stick with my bow/short blade strategy, which of the ones I have should I use?)
Here's my char dump:
