First 15 rune, first time in Hell, second time in Pan and Tomb. No spells.
Second major rougelike win after ToME.
About Gh: Unarmed Ghouls are pretty strong in early game but have problems mid/late-game due to their horrible stats. Especially around Vault/Elf I had trouble staying above the monster-power curve with my off/def-balance (had no MR aswell). The hat (Slay +6, Vault 5) and the amulet (Str +10, MR+, Depths 4) turned the tables for me. Innate Ghoul resists and Wu Jian then made for an easy extended game.
About Wu Jian: Just epic. Whirlwind, Lunge and Wall Jump let you control the battlefield like nothing else. Serpents Lash gives you huge, unavoidable damage spikes and Heavenly Storm is your edge against mobs of smite/hellfire/torment-monsters. +It's so much more fun than normal melee combat.
Next: Probably gonna try to streak some low rune wins then maybe move on/back to Caves of Qud or ADOM.
