CIP: First real weapon?
+6 scimitar of electrocution (504 gold)
+5 scythe "Finisher" {speed, Str+3} (567 gold)
+6 hunting sling "Ethub" {freeze, *Drain rElec Dex+4} (594 gold)
+6 shortbow of Okawaru's Approval {freeze, *Drain rElec rC+ Str+2}
So, which one should I buy?
Finisher seems the obvious choice, as it's the most Zot-viable. But I know I'm going to find and switch to a better weapon before then.
My inclination is to go with the shortbow and train it up to 10 or 12 while I wait for my endgame weapon.
The scimitar is nice, but ranged >> melee, and I don't have a shield.
The sling is nice also, but only 33 bullets vs 175 arrows.
My current skills (not that they matter):
a + Fighting 10.0
e - Maces & Flails 5.1
f - Polearms 4.3
g - Staves 7.3
k - Dodging 6.4
n - Evocations 4.7
o - Stealth 3.1
