Howzit everybody,

I am looking for some general advice and comments on the above character. I am really enjoying him and would love to take him through for my first win.

Specific questions I have, I think I need to settle on armour soon. I have the MR plate I am wearing at the moment and a +2 Pearl Dragon Armour thus far. I have 5 Enchant Armour scrolls. At which point should I bite the bullet and use them?

I am currently using a +7,+3 Executioner's axe of Flaming, but I also have an awesome (in my opinion) Artifact axe (the +2,+0 battleaxe of Okawaru's Regard {god gift, drain, rF++ rN+ MR Dex+1}). I mostly like it for the resistances it offers. Which one would you recommend?

Think that's it for now.

*Edit: I also have a ring of +6 Dex, not sure if it's worth carrying around. Been very unlucky with jewellery in this game.

Monday, 19th November 2012, 16:00 by rchandra

I would use the PDA for easier dodging and spellcasting, go ahead and enchant it now.

The Executioner's axe is better for normal use and can get improved with enchantments - swap to the battleaxe when you need rF or when the enemy is immune to fire (often this is the same time, though if they are undead/demonic draining won't work either).

Ring of dexterity are not amazing, but 6 is a big number and it's certainly better than nothing. You'll see better returns from it once you have Dodging.

before working on traps, train Axes to 26 and get 10+ Dodging and Fighting.

Monday, 19th November 2012, 18:55 by BlackSheep

I'd wear the +6 dex ring over the ring of life protection in almost all cases. If you're going to be wearing pearl dragon armor all the time, I wouldn't even carry life protection around.

rPois, +7 PDA, and a Flaming Executioner's Axe all at level 13? Looks like you're well-positioned for victory

.

Tuesday, 20th November 2012, 10:37 by RexBael

Thanks for the advice thus far, much appreciated ;-)

I didn't think the PDA would be recommended so quickly and unanimously. I have never seen it mentioned as a good option for heavy armour characters.

How reliably does one find Haste in the dungeon? I currently have access to the following books:
Burglary, Callings, Changes, Death and a high level book I have been unable to read.

Any spells from those books that are must haves?

Last question for now. I am wearing an amulet of faith, only other amulet I have found (about 4 of them) is clarity. When should I get rid of the faith amulet? I know it will give a piety hit, just not sure how long it will take to recover that piety and how vulnerable it might leave me.

Tuesday, 20th November 2012, 13:55 by Galefury

You should only take off faith if you need a different amulet to survive. And you should probably put it back on afterwards if you don't expect to have to take it off again sometime soon. It lets you get more gifts, and lets you use Finesse more, and will more than compensate the cost of using Heroism against any enemy that might damage you (which you should already do even without faith).

Regarding books, Burglary is really really good, you want Swiftness, Apportation and probably Control Teleport. Most of the spells in the book of Death are also excellent, but you should only get them if you want to invest a bit more into Necromancy. Agony and Dispel Undead are really nice, the rest is not that great for you. You can pick up Corpse Rot to train Necromancy, it can be quite useful but you need to lure enemies over corpses which is often not practical. Excruciating Wounds is great, but you already have an excellent branded weapon, and Sublimation of Blood is awesome for characters that rely on having MP at all times, which you aren't. The other spells are not relevant to you.

Probably only pick up the good stuff from Burglary, training charms and a bit of Tloc. This will let you use Blink if you find it, and gets you started towards Haste, both of which you are very likely to find.

PDA is not usually recommended as a good option because it is rarely an option at all. You're lucky. That being said, MR Plate is also really good, but PDA is probably better.

Thanks for all the advice, unfortunately I went and splatted this guy on Orc 4. Probably my stupidest and silliest death yet. I've lost a few characters by now, even a couple that went further, but this is the one I am angriest at myself over.

Back to square one ;-)
