Abandoned game: VSAc^Oka: Damnation and Penetration
(If you manage to get at least 150 spellpower, Necromutation becomes permanent. I hope to equip all my +Int items and a necro staff, quaff Brilliance, and then cast Necromutation twice to make use of it's Necro magic power boost. I'm not certain how much skill I'll need to make it work, but I should be able to get torment immunity fairly cheaply.)
I am slightly worried that the character appears to be very flimsy. I got below 30% hp 2 or 3 times whilst clearing V:1-2. I am probably under-levelled, because I skipped Lair. I also over-trained Stealth, because I switched to 100% stealth training to make the Desolation of Salts easier, and then forgot to switch back. I now have 1 pip of stealth when wearing the Crystal Plate
(BTW the Desolation was quite easy. I went in intending to use a +6 Arbalest of velocity, so as not to wake everything up with Damnation, and Oka gifted me a +7 Arbalest of penetration almost immediately. I only ever fought 4 or so monsters at a time.)
I am currently using the +7 artefact crossbow of penetration, because it's less tedious to use than Damnation. Penetration is also occasionally useful And I don't want to run out of remove curse scrolls (I currently have 9). I'm also currently wearing the Ice Dragon Scales, intending to switch to the Crystal Plate when I've trained some more armour skill. Currently the Crystal Plate gives me 6 AC at the cost of 11 EV.
