Cip: Mu the Destroyer (MuWz)
Man, screw mummies. They're so emblematic of exactly what I *don't* want in a crawl character. They start off the game with odds stacked horribly against them: 'useless' rN+++, rTorment, rMutation; inability to recover HP rapidly or utilize any utility potions at all, unnecessary hungerlessness (since at that stage hunger is virtually a non-issue), Bad aptitudes compounded by slow EXP gain (so no matter what your build is it's 'as-likely-as-not' to have a higher %-fail for longer). And best of all? rF- so that even under perfect play you're always vulnerable to a one-shot death from an orc-wizard/centaur from D:1-4.
But then, if you play them carefully and you get lucky, then it's all the benefits of lichform which start paying off extremely early. Hell, if you go the sif path you could be seeing these benefits at D:5. If you're willing to start-scum until you get a rod or a sif altar on D:1-3 you can virtually guarantee a successful Lair and more!
In other words, playing a Mummy (to me) never feels like I played well and earned my success. Either I'm dealt a "non-lucky" opening between D:1-5 and I die, or I'm dealt a lucky hand to get me past the early game and the rest of the game ends up being a breeze. Small wonder then that I dont roll mummies very often since I dont find them satisfying, win or lose.
Anyways; I felt like ascending a mummy so I started rolling them. This was the outcome
1.) Asdfghjkl: The game lasted 00:02:12 (1262 turns) (Slain by a rat on D:1)
2.) Qwertyuiop: The game lasted 00:01:30 (572 turns).(Slain by an adder on D:3)
3.) Qwertyuiop: The game lasted 00:09:47 (6738 turns). (Slain by an ogre on D:5) -- notably after 5 unsuccessful blink attempts in a row at ~20% failure...a 0.032% chance (1/3125)
4.) Mum: The game lasted 00:01:59 (1237 turns). (Slain by a gnoll on D:1)

Like I said - it feels like startscumming even though I'm obviously not. I'm trying to remember what mandatory lucky breaks I had earlier this game. IIRC there was a couple "<5 hp -but-alive" moments on the first few floors. I'm drawing a blank now, but maybe it was the staff of channeling? Yeah - and that's when I decided that Vehumet's conj/summon help would be far more valuable than sif's mana-channel since I already had the staff.
Still, did do a few things different than my business as usual. Most notably I took Orb of Death which I generally despise. Man, oh man if this isn't a SWEET spel. It's SOOO much more fun than Iron Shot. When I fire an Iron shot and I miss I feel cheated. When I fire an OoD and it misses I at least can SEE that it missed and see where it went instead. And generally I at least get an explosion for my troubles. Also, whereas Iron Shot misses because the game rolls a hidden number and decides to say "fuck you", Orb of Destruction misses because of environmental changes. Therefore, you can increase its accuracy. Finally, my biggest problem with Orb of Destruction has classically been that you kinda have to aim it from close to have a better chance of hitting in many circumstances. . . well Iron Shot is mandatorily at a shitty range - - so Orb of Destruction gives me more flexibility period.
And if you can aim a long-distance shot well enough to connect, then it's extra damage. A lot extra. And no pesky earth-training.
Yeah, you can bet I'll be doing a lot more Orb of Destructioning than Iron Shotting in the future.
I went Ice instead of Fire since I knew I wouldn't have the deep elf's luxury of being able to coast through all of magic in everything, and I needed the utility of a freezing cloud type spell pronto.
Rods are always in a weird space with me. I generally dont get much use out of them for the simple reason that for most my characters they already have better powered (and more hunger-reduced) spells by the time they stumble across them. Then Evo-hungering sucks badly. Next there's the limited mana reserve - generally getting 2-3 shots tops of the spell(s) I'm interested in. And worst of all, you need to switch weapons which virtually guarantees you wont have them out in a hotspot.
Well with my Mummy all my old conventional logic kinda fell on its head. Firstly, I was gonna be training evo anyway for channeling/cBall purposes down the road, so it made sense to mess with the rods. Second, hungerlessness is a big yay. Third, unlike my deep elves, I *didn't* have a massive bank of MP since I couldn't train up spellcasting super-fast or benefit from racial bonuses. So the theoretical 10-12 mp expansion of my total casting capacity was very appreciated. Also, 100% reliability is MASSIVE for a mummy! I can't recall how often I used the Deflect Missiles or Cause Fear spell to preserve my limited consumables/MP points and still got great effect even with ~5-10 evo.
I had a pretty wicked thought: If you hang around on a floor for >3k turns OOD monsters start to show up, right? But OOD for floor 1 is gonna be what; like Orc-Knight/Trolls probably. So say you kept restarting till you found a good rod or two -- maybe something with ice storm or a good swarm of medium summons. Level 6 evo-hungering is a non-issue and unlike spellcasting your evocations are guaranteed success from a rod. Keep blink/mephitic as your escapes and you're golden!
Anyway, 3 runes and still kicking. Haven't made up my mind about extended yet. Over the last 3-4 floors of the main dungeon I explored I found hats/armours/gloves with varying rF++ and rC++'s on them, along with the hat of the alchemist. Problem is many of them are negative enchanted artifacts as are the only boots I've found this entire game. This leaves my AC in a lousy place but my resists in an excellent place. I could (almost certainly) clear the extended endgame. I mean, level up my evo to~18-20 and get ice storm properly online and I'm already the equivalent of an ice-storming lich with powerful MP channel, cTele, full resists, and every spell I could be interested in. I just don't know if I actually *want* to take hte time to beat the whole extended; it's kinda redundant at this point. I'll probably pluder Slime or Elf before I make up my mind; so we'll see.

Like I said - it feels like startscumming even though I'm obviously not. I'm trying to remember what mandatory lucky breaks I had earlier this game. IIRC there was a couple "<5 hp -but-alive" moments on the first few floors. I'm drawing a blank now, but maybe it was the staff of channeling? Yeah - and that's when I decided that Vehumet's conj/summon help would be far more valuable than sif's mana-channel since I already had the staff.
Still, did do a few things different than my business as usual. Most notably I took Orb of Death which I generally despise. Man, oh man if this isn't a SWEET spel. It's SOOO much more fun than Iron Shot. When I fire an Iron shot and I miss I feel cheated. When I fire an OoD and it misses I at least can SEE that it missed and see where it went instead. And generally I at least get an explosion for my troubles. Also, whereas Iron Shot misses because the game rolls a hidden number and decides to say "fuck you", Orb of Destruction misses because of environmental changes. Therefore, you can increase its accuracy. Finally, my biggest problem with Orb of Destruction has classically been that you kinda have to aim it from close to have a better chance of hitting in many circumstances. . . well Iron Shot is mandatorily at a shitty range - - so Orb of Destruction gives me more flexibility period.
And if you can aim a long-distance shot well enough to connect, then it's extra damage. A lot extra. And no pesky earth-training.
Yeah, you can bet I'll be doing a lot more Orb of Destructioning than Iron Shotting in the future.
I went Ice instead of Fire since I knew I wouldn't have the deep elf's luxury of being able to coast through all of magic in everything, and I needed the utility of a freezing cloud type spell pronto.
Rods are always in a weird space with me. I generally dont get much use out of them for the simple reason that for most my characters they already have better powered (and more hunger-reduced) spells by the time they stumble across them. Then Evo-hungering sucks badly. Next there's the limited mana reserve - generally getting 2-3 shots tops of the spell(s) I'm interested in. And worst of all, you need to switch weapons which virtually guarantees you wont have them out in a hotspot.
Well with my Mummy all my old conventional logic kinda fell on its head. Firstly, I was gonna be training evo anyway for channeling/cBall purposes down the road, so it made sense to mess with the rods. Second, hungerlessness is a big yay. Third, unlike my deep elves, I *didn't* have a massive bank of MP since I couldn't train up spellcasting super-fast or benefit from racial bonuses. So the theoretical 10-12 mp expansion of my total casting capacity was very appreciated. Also, 100% reliability is MASSIVE for a mummy! I can't recall how often I used the Deflect Missiles or Cause Fear spell to preserve my limited consumables/MP points and still got great effect even with ~5-10 evo.
I had a pretty wicked thought: If you hang around on a floor for >3k turns OOD monsters start to show up, right? But OOD for floor 1 is gonna be what; like Orc-Knight/Trolls probably. So say you kept restarting till you found a good rod or two -- maybe something with ice storm or a good swarm of medium summons. Level 6 evo-hungering is a non-issue and unlike spellcasting your evocations are guaranteed success from a rod. Keep blink/mephitic as your escapes and you're golden!
Anyway, 3 runes and still kicking. Haven't made up my mind about extended yet. Over the last 3-4 floors of the main dungeon I explored I found hats/armours/gloves with varying rF++ and rC++'s on them, along with the hat of the alchemist. Problem is many of them are negative enchanted artifacts as are the only boots I've found this entire game. This leaves my AC in a lousy place but my resists in an excellent place. I could (almost certainly) clear the extended endgame. I mean, level up my evo to~18-20 and get ice storm properly online and I'm already the equivalent of an ice-storming lich with powerful MP channel, cTele, full resists, and every spell I could be interested in. I just don't know if I actually *want* to take hte time to beat the whole extended; it's kinda redundant at this point. I'll probably pluder Slime or Elf before I make up my mind; so we'll see.
