Lucky DsCK

I was very lucky with Xom: good mutations, an amulet of faith, one friendly rakasha gift, some curare needles, one big scimitar of flaming all before level 6 of the dungeon.
The thing is that I'm still not sure which direction should I follow? Until now I have only trained general skills. any advice? I'm aware that I'm with Xom and he will latter berserk a hydra or cast me to the abyss to compensate my good luck,

Re: Lucky DsCK

Alternatively, you've got the Enchanter's starting spellbook. You could just keep training SBl & Stealth, then add in Hexes as necessary. If you go that route, you'd eventually want Hexes to approximately 14-17, depending on what failure rate you find acceptable for Invisibility. Also, find and use the best dagger around if you're gonna do that.

Re: Lucky DsCK

Didn't manage to do much... I entered the orc dungeon and I was quickly blasted by two orc priests. T_T
Thanks for the advice anyway, I'd have followed it if I had survived a bit more.
