And to explain the thread title, I got insanely lucky and found a scroll of acquirement very early on. Asked for a weapon, got a dwarven battleax of vampiricism and been on easy street ever since.

The combination of heavy armour, high damage potential, arc-swing attack and vampiricism has made it so that, as soon as I get up in the ennemy's face, it's game over for him (especially if I'm 'serking). The only hairy moment I remember was being pelted with arrows and spells from different directions in Halls:3, had to summon some allies as living shields.

Will keep you posted.

Re: CIP - DDBe, anyone else think vampiric axes are overpowe

Why are you training Stabbing and Stealth? It's usually better to train one skill at a time.

Don't think stabbing and stealth would do good, much better to train for armor or dodging.

Re: CIP - DDBe, anyone else think vampiric axes are overpowe

Vamp axes are pretty great, though I'd hesitate to say OP. (For example, not so great at all in extended.) Certainly though, a vamp battleaxe played a large part in getting my DsWr to victory. Having it on a DD, of course, is even nicer. You do have to be very careful with certain enemies, though. In particular, when it comes time to fight orbs of fire. (Of course, your rF++ will help a lot, and there's a good chance you'll get another swappable rF ring at some point.)

You should use or drop your valuable scrolls and potions. You have two ?enchantFoo scrolls and a ?recharging, as well as !gainStr and !gainDex. You should use those two potions. If you're planning to win, you should also use both enchant scrolls (the cloak is as good a target as any for the enchant armour one). The ?recharging should be dropped somewhere safe (doesn't need to be in lair, just in the corner of a room on a cleared floor is fine). You might want to drop ?magicMapping too, and save at least one of them for Zot:5. As a rule of thumb, any scrolls/potions which you won't need in a fight/emergency, but which are really valuable (another example is !cureMut) should be left on the floor so they don't get burned or shattered.

Also, have you had a serious shortage of ?identify or something? I can hardly imagine being this late in the game with unidentified potions.

I'd turn off everything but Dodging. You've got a good apt for it, and it'll train faster than Armour since it's been so low. Don't bother training stabbing on a non-stabber, nor stealth on a character in heavy armour. They'll do next to nothing for you. In your whole game so far stabbing has occurred exactly 4 times.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
