New Background:Noisemaker.

[WingedEspeon]

A Zelot for Qazlal!

starts with 35 piety, an equiped singing sword and shield of the gong, both cursed, and having saced stealth to Ru. Most OP background ever

[Igxfl]

Only if the sword and shield are permacursed so that they can never be removed.

Don't forget shoutitis.

[mopl]

It should definitely also start with a scroll of noise...

[Sandman25]

Even Imp (perma-teleportitis) is easy with Qazlal. The background should make it impossible to train Invocations.

[WingedEspeon]

Shield and sword are now permacursed and you also get shoutitis 3 perminatly. You also get a shield of noise. Not being able to train invo would kinda kill the point of Qazlal.

EDIT:That should be scroll of noise.

[tasonir]

Wait, so you get a shield of the gong and a shield of noise? Can you dual wield shields? This is the best idea ever, why hasn't anyone requested dual wielding shields before?

[Igxfl]

We could at least have a two-handed dual shield artefact.

[jejorda2]

Hill Giant skulls should give two handed shields when enchanted.
Stone Giant skulls should give two handed shields of protection when enchanted.
Frost & Fire Giant skulls should give two-handed shields of frost & fire resistance with wizardry bonuses to their elements.
Cyclops skulls have a big hole in the middle, so they encumber less than other two-handed shields.
Titan skulls take three hands to equip and can't be used except by Formicids who forego weapons.
