Also ?Fear and ?Blink could help so if you had such scrolls but either didn't use them or ran out of them because of previous fights, then again it's your fault IMHO.
Edit. Change your mindset to the game if you want to become a better player, crawl is not ideal but it is not as unfair as you say.
The first time you enter a new level, you get the first action. This is specifically to prevent "i went down stairs and lost all my health instantly". Someone experienced, then, would have used that advantage to immediately go back up the stairs without even trying to fight a group of dangerous monsters.

So if you dont explore a level completely and return to it you will be surrounded/insta-killed and its the player's fault?

mrthehoople wrote:I have to contribute here... I'll be the first to admit, I mostly suck at crawl. I've played well over 100 games, have a single 3 rune win with MiBe and a single death with 3 runes that I could have won ( had cleared zot 5 completely but then died to royal jelly. Even then I subsequently realised I had 2 ways to avoid death in that fight that I missed). I'd put the majority of my deaths in the 'I didn't realise how serious the situation was quickly enough' category. (Like recent death at the hands of 3 Orc mages I thought I could just hard down.
But let's be honest, I've had a couple of ' I went down stairs and died' situations, and they've all been in very early game. I've turned a corner right into an early sigmund with a Decj with I think zero chance of survival. But 99% of my deaths have been entirely my fault. The no way out situation is extremely rare after early game if you're playing right. At first I just played MiBe of trog until I won, but have started to realise that joining okawaru and plate casting a few key spells, gives massive extra survivability by increasing flexibility. (Animate skeleton, summon butterflies etc.) with better potential to beat extended too (blink, control teleport, phase shift etc.)
I know it's frustrating - I've nearly given up a few times. But if you want to improve you have to be honest with yourself. I play chess and poker too. I wonder how many people kid themselves that they are better at poker than they are. Good players analyse where their money leaks from and plug the holes.

What is interesting is I have caught myself doing that midgame and stopped. Taken my hands off the keyboard, surfed a few sites, changed the music I am listening to, and lo, the game goes on.

I've beaten Crawl (albeit my highest rune win is a mere 5), and if an idiot like me can do it there's hope for us all.

-The longest streak of consecutive winning characters ever by one person is 22. There are 24 recorded streaks of 10 or more consecutive winning characters. (Source: http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/streaks.html )
-The existence of such streaks implies that a very good player, when playing to win, can achieve a win rate of at least 90%. (Does anyone have numbers to support an even higher achieved win rate? Like say, a tournament performance?)
-How good you are as a player has nothing to do with any physical characteristic of your body, or any real-time characteristic such as playing fast, with high dexterity, with good reflexes or whatever - it is turn-based with no real time component. It also has nothing to do with the account - there is no DLC, meta-game levelling up or pay to win elements. You accept the current known game state as input and the next command to perform as output, and there is no cheating or subterfuge involved. No person has more information available to them about Crawl and the current game than anyone else does. There is no way to fudge the dice of what the game decides to do.
-Conclusion: The only thing keeping you from winning Crawl is your belief that it can't be won consistently, when the proof is in what other people (who have no advantage over you) can do with the game.
If this game was 'bullshit', a streak of 22 would be statistically implausible.
That's all. I think it's important to know. If you know that the game is consistently beatable, then it encourages you to look for things to leverage to your advantage rather than excuses for yourself and attempts to prove that Crawl cannot be consistently won. And there are a LOT of things, many obvious, many not so obvious, that you can learn both with your own experiences and by watching/conversing with others. If you're learning how to play Chess - you buy chess books and watch chess gameplay of the masters. If you're learning how to play a Shoot em up, such as Dodonpachi - you find the best, highest scoring playthrough you can of it on youtube and study it for everything it can pass on to you about the game. You don't accept that the game is too hard and that you don't know anything, you move with great strides to fix your lack of understanding and remake your abilities. If you are playing locally, maybe you would find it instructive to, when you realize you're in a bad situation - deliberately savescum, and for each strategy you can think of to save yourself, attempt it identically 10 times, and record the success rate of each one. What worked the best, and is this instructive for future gameplay? Then go back to your real savefile, try what you think will work best after a last review, and see what happens. (Note that by the time you're in a bad situation, you may have made mistakes in the past, such as in building your character or using resources that could have been saved with better gameplay. So even if you come into an unwinnable situation, it's still almost always the case that if you had changed your behaviour on an earlier floor you'd be in a better spot now. And that kind of knowledge can be learned by watching the 'Masters' of Crawl too, just like you'd watch chess grandmasters to aid your study of chess.)

I don't know that I'd bother with save scumming but maybe try wizard mode (control W?) and say no when asked if you want to die when your character takes lethal damage. That way you can play without risk and see what it is that leads up to the deadly damage.
