If both your toon and a monster are low on HP after a long slugfest, just press on, monsters get weaker as they lose HP and if a lot of your attacks seemed to not connect it's just that the monster had a really lucky string of rolls bound to break at any moment's notice.
Never try to shoot bolts of draining from behind your undead minions, even if they are immune that doesn't mean they won't get angry about it.
Kraken tentacles are particularly weak to melee attacks, which have a chance to chop them off outright, so don't let their speed scare you and melee them ASAP.
The damage bonus of Portal Projectile and the AC-ignoring property of bolts of penetration make them a great combination, especially against monsters with shields.
If you are playing a Vampire and are at bloodless, make sure to stack as many regeneration sources as possible (troll hide, rings, spell) to counteract their diminished efficiency. The rings are okay but the troll hide is by far the best of the lot (superior to troll leather armour, actually)
If you use rods, make sure to wield them while exploring so their recharge rate is boosted (it's only 3/5th as efficient while in your inventory)
Depleted elemental evokers are useless, so don't bother carrying them around while they're recharging.
The Rod of Striking is one of the best weapons for any character with M&F > 16 (rod mindelay) and some investment in evocations (additional damage that ignores AC)
Lehudib's Crystal Spear loses damage potential as it travels so make sure to close distance ASAP with the monsters that can cast it (deep troll earth mages, frost giants, ogre magi)
