YASD.. I hate draconians

DrVM - I was really enjoying this character... for a while.

Once I found out color, I figured I'd go Nemelex because of the Evocations bonus. Other than evocations, I decided to go hybrid melee and conjurations/air magic, since I got an air magic bonus from color and a matching book early on. I was very strong early on because of a +3 +5 whip of electrocution. That took me down to the bottom of the lair, where I found the unrand demon blade. Maybe switching to that was a mistake.

Anyway, I could tell I wasn't getting stronger as the dungeon got harder, and I felt like death was becoming inevitable. Legendary decks of summoning got me through anything tough, but other than that I felt weak. So I was a bit careless when a fought the dragon that slew me. Why did I share this? It was my most successful draconian ever, and seemed promising. I've always been drawn to draconians (i mean, come on, they're badass), but I think it'll be a while before I try another. They suck.

Re: YASD.. I hate draconians

You didn't find a single resistance-branded robe in the entire Orcish Mines? That seems hard to believe, and a rF+ robe would have probably saved you from that dragon.

Also, why didn't you pick up any support spells? A spellcaster gets a good chunk of their defense from their spells, and buffs are the chief draw for melee combatants considering hybridization. Your developed skills are pretty much nothing but offense, so it shouldn't be any surprise that your defense is going to suffer.

Re: YASD.. I hate draconians

I feel ya on the draconian front. You play one and you think "awesome, I'm a dragon man!" and then you realize "half my equipment slots are restricted and I have subpar attributes."

On the other hand, with resist poison you could've hit up the Snake Pit. With mephitic you could almost clear Elf. Now you know better!

Also, 57 damage off a dragon is pretty nice. You probably didn't even leave a corpse.

Re: YASD.. I hate draconians

It's true- not a single robe better than a plain old +2. They could have at least given me a robe of MR. I should have thrown on my ring of rF+ though. And I don't think I found any books of charms/hexes. Except one full of stupid brands. Still, maybe I should have started going transmutations.

I probably should have gone snake pit, yes. I think I just wanted to lose. I can't stand finding artifact boots and gloves and just sacrificing them without even identifying them. It's depressing.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
