CIP: NaFi of Oka->TSO->Chei?!

So, I've been wanting to play a different kind of melee fighter than I usually do, but so far it hasn't exactly been working out to plan.

My plan was to start as a Naga Fighter of Okawaru, training polearms to carry me through the early game. Then once I had Okawaru, I would switch to Unarmed Combat and make the game an unarmed combat run from there, switching to Cheibriados as Okawaru was wearing out his usefulness.

However, I believe my first gift from Okawaru was a +6, +0 double sword of electrocution. Seeing as Okawaru doesn't normally arm me so fiercely, I just had to adjust my plans to take advantage of this and immediately trained Long Blades up to use it. With this in hand, I can no longer justify myself in doing anything with unarmed this game, so I'll at least have to save that for another game. However, I still want to make it a Chei game, but I also want to holy wrath this thing for the late game.

I'm currently thinking of going Oka -> TSO for the blessed double sword -> Chei. Now, clearly I can clear the whole game with TSO. At that point it would be just like any other melee game. Do you guys think it's worth me going Chei for fun this game, or should I save it for another try at this combination where Okawaru doesn't hand me awesome weapons out of the gates?

Re: CIP: NaFi of Oka->TSO->Chei?!

What's the objective for Chei? I mean, Is it just to be slow and horribly inconvenienced or did you have some neat/cool/fun/tricky plan in mind to use Chei for?

Re: CIP: NaFi of Oka->TSO->Chei?!

Chei is weaker than usual if you don't have ranged attack (that includes spells). It means he is almost useless for melee character without any spells, you get slow movement and no haste for minor damage and some defense increase.

Re: CIP: NaFi of Oka->TSO->Chei?!

Moving is really important for a melee character in extended. The ability to not suck at moving is way more important than anything Chei could possibly offer a character in extended.
If you don't want to use TSO, you can do the same thing except switch to Jiyva or Ash instead of Chei. Oka > TSO > Jiyva was one of the more fun extended characters I've had.

Re: CIP: NaFi of Oka->TSO->Chei?!

If you're truly set on Chei you'll want to pick up some spells which is easier to do thanks to the str and int boosts. Some nice spells for a melee chei character are silence, blink, regen, apport, and repel missiles. Excluding silence these should be very easy to pick up, and silence is worth it if only for tomb. Also learn to abuse the temp distortion ability to either get monsters close to you or make them go away or dodge clouds/oods.

For melee Chei works best with transmuters but can also work for a regular fighter as well. Of course there are better gods but since the point of Crawl is to have fun go for it!
