CIP: Felid summoner (Wz)
While CDO is down I'm trying out a felid or two locally. They actually suit my way of playing (preferring fast, defensive races), and I beleive that summoning plus extra lives pretty much outweighs the equipment limits. Well, anyway, as I expected from a summoning character, the game runs rather smoothly, but I thought I'd ask for suggestions on the further development of this character.
Was Sif Muna a good choice (for the books), or what else could Meow have chosen? Vehumet for guaranteed Summoning spells? Kiku to delve in necromancy (Haunt, Lich form)? Nemelex for the decks?
And what about spells? Apart from the obvious for a felid summoning character (more summoning spells, haste, controlled blink), would phase shift and passage of golubria be nice additions? (Does the latter work on -cTele levels?)
Also, at what time should Meow get some levels in dodging and fighting - 36 HP is really terrible, and the plan is to not use any more extra lives (misjudged the power of about eight imps versus a hairy devil). Am I missing any important skills for a felid?
