Xom for new players?
1) Never be below 50% HP/MP (instant teleport)
2) Never explore dungeon without escape means (if you have choice), escape early, not at 20% HP.
3) Don't berserk (instant teleport)
4) Always lure monsters to fight one by one (swap positions)
5) Train stealth unless you are a tank in heavy armour (shouts, instant teleport)
6) Enchant several different weapons (swap weapons), learn different spells for elementalists (summon hostile monsters who are immune to fire/air)
7) Improve defense of spellcasters very early (you will be surrounded by hostile monsters no matter what you do), hybridize early (you will be out of MP sometimes no matter what you do).
8) Immediately adapt to mutations (quaffing unknown mutations can be good sometimes, getting Spider rune while you have clarity mutation)
9) Get used to unfair deaths and "unfair" ones.
I start to believe that one cannot be considered a good player unless he/she has won with Xom at least once.
What do you think?
