YASD: DDBe died at level 20, a personal best :)
Doing pretty well on my DDBe, level 16, cleared out the dungeon to around 16, lair to 7, all of orcish mines, hive (playing 9.1), and going through the vaults now (up to level 3). Since I'm deep dwarf, I use trog's hand quite often for the healing, but this is causing problems. I have high enough piety for ammunition gifts, but not enough for weapon gifts from Trog. I can't get my piety over 130 again because the ammo gifts prevent piety gain...is there any way to deal with this? Do you have to kill faster than he can regift you, or save up several spellbooks to burn at once? Or should I just be abandoning Trog? I'd love to try Makhleb at some point. I got about 4 weapon gifts before getting stuck getting ammo, and none of them were axes...fortunately the dungeon itself generated a battleaxe of electrocution which I've enchanted up. It's not too likely trog's going to give me better unless there's some way to get back to 130+ piety fast.
Next, the usual question about what skills to train up. Axe is up to 19, should need about 3 more levels for battleaxes, but I'll probably just take it to 27 eventually, I might find an executioner axe, and berserkers don't really have too many skills to train. Is it worth getting some dodging now that my armor skill is pretty high? DD's have +1 for both, so that is good. Does higher stealth skill ever overcome wearing heavy armor or is that pointless? I have evocation at 10 to help with evoking teleport since I have a ring of teleport/teleport control for emergencies...hopefully I'll find some useful haste or teleport wands one of these days!
Also, is there any good way to gamble with mutations that I should be doing? I have 3 mutation potions and 2 cure mutation potions. The cure mutation potions remove good and bad, or only bad mutations?
Edit: Just to do some theorycrafting, how effective is my 31 AC combined with DD damage resistance? Is that enough for the end game? I have a +5 ac ring I can use, but I've generally been switching the second ring slot around for whatever resistance ring I want at the time. Think I could survive a runin with The Lernaean hydra using my flaming weapon?

Think I could survive a runin with The Lernaean hydra using my flaming weapon?
