A bit of backstory - I've been trying for Polytheist (and great/greaterplayer,) and I'm reaching the end of my list. The plan was "Be Sif, get a book that's more useful than the wizard one, specialize in whatever that is." What happened was I acquired GDS that (I think) I'd be insane to give up. So, since I think "wearing that armor" and "casting spells" are likely off the table at the same time, and since I'd like to not abandon my "try to get polytheist" plan... what should I do here? "Use the Lajatang and GDS" seems like a workable plan, but... do I stick with Sif and essentially be atheist? Do I switch to Ru or Yred (my only remaining unwon gods) and power through Sif wrath, despite being unable to drink curing potions? Resign myself to wasting maybe the best artifact armor I've ever gotten?

Re: CIP: MuWz^Sif with weird luck

First, can we take a sec to appreciate the irony of the +10 GDS of Brilliance preventing you from casting spells?

More seriously, I would check and see how badly wearing it sets you back spell-wise. You have pretty high int, and if you start pumping strength and armor skill you might be able to go hybrid utility/melee with some lower level spells.

Re: CIP: MuWz^Sif with weird luck

It looks like you were intending to play some kind of hybrid character in the first place, since you put experience into staves, armour, and stealth. That said, if you handed me this character, I would drop the gold dragon scales and the ring mail and never touch those three skills again. The Wz book is really, really good, and is a path of less resistance than cold starting a weapon character at XL11 with 11 str, no potions, no good weapon, and no god, even with great body armour.

And that said, either path can win perfectly fine, ultimately it's a matter of preference because with any character that isn't complete garbage, you'll only die from bad tactics, not faults in the character.

Frankly, Sif is essentially the same as atheist whether you wear the gold dragon scales or not.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
