Early Dungeon Deaths

[khalil]

I tend to die most often in the early dungeon.(Curse you, D:1 jackal pack!) If I get a character to lair, that character will make it to zot.
Am I the only one who finds the early game to be harder than the late game?

I guess you play casters/Mu mostly or other characters who are weak early and become stronger later. Try TrMo and let me know if you still think late game is easier than pre-Lair

Point. I almost never do melee, but I highly doubt that trolls would fare well late game.
Still, I find it to be odd. With casters, the game seems to have a difficulty slide. You get better at the game, and the game gets easier.

Right. That's why I never play pure casters any more

Go play this and tell me the late game isn't just as easy as the early game.

Spoiler: show

it is

it really really is

it's terrifying

Make sure it's 0.13 where the effect of stats on attacks are doubled compared to <=0.12 though.

Book backgrounds are not particularly weak early...in fact I'm pretty sure DECj is one of the most guaranteed D:1 survival builds and it kicks ass early game (all game as a matter of fact).
