Had several downright unfairly good items; managed to find a dwarven battleaxe with vampiric brand, enchanted it up fairly high, and then got banished to the abyss at level 13. Survived fairly well and got the rune, which I was then able to use to get into a treasure trove on D15 where I found my crystal plate mail, which I also enchanted up. Hell I even had a battleaxe randart which let me blink and +5 fire resistance boots. But being careless around 5 greater nagas is still dangerous. I blinked to the upstairs, and was going to go up, but I had fought for too long and was down to around 30 or so health, so I figured going up the stairs takes a turn or two, now that I'm not in melee range of anything, I'll zap a healing wand and -then- go up the stairs. So I heal, and that turn one of the nagas teleports me off the stairs. I didn't get back to them in time.

I seem to have some sort of huge mental block that prohibits me from ever thinking about using Brothers in Arms. That and stairdancing really should be coming naturally to me by now. In any case, this was my first ever rune, so that's progress. I really should have been able to get the orb with the gear I had, the only thing I really needed at this point was a ring of teleport control for a 3 rune win, correct me if there's anything else I really needed (rMut is nice, but for 3 rune, I'd just make a run for it).

About crystal plate mails: they say they can be enchanted up to +14, but I assume that's not true as the scrolls can't enchant something over 9? Also what armor skill do you need for them to not cause you to miss, or will there always be some chance of missing in one? At level 20 armor the misses were very uncommon but I'd still get a couple.

Re: YASD: DDBe, turns out 51 AC doesn't block magic spells

teleport is not instant, you should have seen it for a few turns

Re: YASD: DDBe, turns out 51 AC doesn't block magic spells

My trick in using Brothers in Arms is to not think of it as a 'panic button' -- I'm bad at panic buttons. (Speaking of: your Scroll of Fog might have saved you here. I always forget those, too.)

BiA works better for me when I think of it as an offensive tool -- if a situation looks marginally dangerous, call a brother. Or, if I'm facing five greater nagas, two. They're pretty cheap, they dish huge damage, and if things go pear-shaped, they're already out there killing and distracting the opposition while I run away. If I wait until things are already dicey before I call, it can be too late; plus, I'm probably personally flustered.

Unrelatedly: you're carrying a scroll of acquirement around. Don't do that! All it takes is some asshat with a Wand of Flame to burn that off you.
I am not a very good player. My mouth is a foul pit of LIES. KNOW THIS.

1) "something" meaning weapons. Body armour can be enchanted up to values equal to base AC: in trunk, robes to +2, leather to +3, ring to +5, scale to +6, (...), CPM/CPA to +14.
Randart armour, god gifted weapons and the like can have higher than normal plusses.
2) 45 skill. Penalties from this heavy armour can only be theoretically negated; at 27 there are "only" less penalties. This should not keep you from wearing it, especially on a non-caster.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
