Favourite character type!


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

What is your favourite type of character?

The Juggernaut: In the words of Desktop Dungeon's glyph GETINDARE... Um... Well, get in there. Heavily armoured or not, non spell casting worshippers of any god go here.

The Slob: Be it heavy armour or light, you have a thing for Cheibriados and the opportunity of having an easier time casting spells. It's a fatal attraction. Most of the times, due to centaur/yaktaur packs.

The Hipster: Enjoy playing those Trolls of Zin?

Favourite character type!

Being bored, so... Here's a rather casual poll. To be honest, I'm a little curious about the tastes of my fellow forum dwellers on the matter.

My personal favourite is the first one at the moment, but I have a thing for transmuters and if/when permabuffs are ever made I'll play them to my heart's content. :P

Re: Favourite character type!

I went with the last. I don't really have a playstyle preference beyond "anything my last character wasn't".

Does anybody else ever have one of those days where they just do a string of Random Characters?

I like being a sorcerer, getting powerful spells and using them to nuke monsters.

SOOTHSLAYER
KILLUSIONIST
CHARMS DEALER
TRAUMATURGE
TRANSMUTILATOR

Kick down the door and don't leave until all the dudes are dead, whether I'm beating them up with spells or swords. I fit the first, second, and last categories (MuBe, anyone?); I'm happy as long as I am the toughest guy in the dungeon.

Re: Favourite character type!

I actually like combat wombats the most - load up on armour, get a big hurty weapon of choice, and run around whacking things with it.

Unfortunately, looking at my score file, I'm much better at casters!

I'm the reverse, joellercoaster...I have more fun with casters, but my wins have been with straight-up bashers.

May I suggest a TrMo of Kiku for your tabbing enjoyment?

I see your TrMo and raise you a Mf** of Makhleb.

Seriously, merfolk are incredible for tabbing; Makhleb too. You get very strong reaching weapons early (polearms are common as dirt and +4 apt is beyond insane), you have much better defenses than trolls do, and Makhleb gives health for every kill. I tabbed a D:16 shadow dragon with my recent MfWn of Makhleb.

Plus: Mf > Tr. Fact. :)

Actually British English is the only language I'm allowed to select. It seems to be the standard for the forum. Plus DC:SS uses British English.

Actually, it uses Australian English. Which is basically indistinguishable except for some edge cases.

I like spellcasters. You see that Hydra over there? Now look what happens when she meets an orb of destruction.

Re: Favourite character type!

Centaur/Yaktaur packs aren't all that scary with Cheibriados, unless you really hate armour, dodging, shields and even invocations all at the same time.

Not that early centaur packs won't kill your early Cheiguy, though.

Long story short, the new armour encumbrance system and doubled effect of stats on weapon damage sure feels good.
