This isn't that bad. For example if you want to play a melee character then getting weapon gifts is very good, regardless of the existence of heroism.

Why is this bad reasoning?
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Saturday, 9th July 2016, 22:03Dith is great because you get no accuracy penalty from wearing ring of shadows!
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Saturday, 9th July 2016, 22:34Stabbers should go Trog because BiA gives chances for distraction stabs.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Saturday, 9th July 2016, 23:31You should play a mummy, because mummies cannot drown.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Saturday, 9th July 2016, 23:42You should try not to die on the orb run because you will leave a ghost that will be inconvenient for someone later.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible

Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Sunday, 10th July 2016, 01:17You should play Ogre because they get a strength boost every third level. ER is a non-isssue for them, so that makes them a very resilient species.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Sunday, 10th July 2016, 02:51Always consider going Assassin; that starting cloak's AC gives you a LOT of extra resilience.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Sunday, 10th July 2016, 02:56You should spend your day posting jokes in taverns; you'll get lots of thanks.

Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Sunday, 10th July 2016, 03:39Save your scrolls of acquirement until Zot:5 so you don't run the risk of finding something better after you read them.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Sunday, 10th July 2016, 05:26You should always value GDR over AC - after all, it's GUARANTEED. So yeah, that's why Ozocobu's is awful.

It looks cool too, which is a great reason to play tiles.

Posted: Sunday, 10th July 2016, 23:13If you're playing potion roulette, you should drink the green ones first. Green means 'safe'. And if a potion of heal wounds is red, it's a trap.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Sunday, 10th July 2016, 23:15You shouldn't use MR gear because it's not needed to win the game.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Monday, 11th July 2016, 08:19Play MuMo because otherwise minmay thinks you are a wimp.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Monday, 11th July 2016, 08:22I'll think you're a wimp either way
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Monday, 11th July 2016, 13:40As a Trog worshipper, make sure to be careful about when you berserk, or you will need to eat a lot of food to make up for the hunger costs.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Monday, 11th July 2016, 23:34Like octopodes, Felids don't have a lot of HP or AC, so they should take Ash to deal with unseen horrors.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Tuesday, 12th July 2016, 01:24Fire Storm is very powerful even with the RFire you're wearing, so be sure to get into melee with Cerebov quickly and cast Silence ASAP once you're there.

Posted: Tuesday, 12th July 2016, 01:55Eveningstar is the ideal weapon for ogres because you can use a shield to compensate for your lousy EV.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Tuesday, 12th July 2016, 13:17GSC is the ideal weapon for ogres because you are desperately trying to compensate for something.

Posted: Tuesday, 12th July 2016, 13:33It's a good idea to start a thread with the obvious intent of bashing something someone else said in a different thread and out of context, because you have to prop up your ego somehow, right?

It feels more like an offshoot of something like this, not targeting a specific person.
Polearms are very useful weapons due to their reach letting you start attacking things in melee from further away, like centaurs and yaktaurs.

No, that's not why I made this thread. I made this thread because I was worshipping Gozag, noticed that hellwings couldn't cast Cigotuvi's Embrace, and thought "Man, it would be really fucked up if someone gave advice centered around that". Please don't make assumptions like this. That's very rude.

You should make GDA after you kill a gold dragon when you have a +0 CPA in inventory because resistances are better than AC,

Posted: Tuesday, 12th July 2016, 17:27You don't need rPois because you can simply not stand in poison clouds.
Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Tuesday, 12th July 2016, 17:40You should not learn blink, because spell levels are valuable and you have blink scrolls anyway.

Re: Give advice using the absolute worst reasoning possible
Posted: Tuesday, 12th July 2016, 18:18You should always worship Xom; he is the only god that can gift food. Without food you lose the game by default, so that makes Xom the best god!
(Gozag is not good because you can't flay corpses for food and his food shops cost gold. Xom bread reations are FREE!)
