A fork in the road?
![Post Post](./styles/ca_halcyon_darkblue/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I wanted to take a break from my routine of YASDing my NaBe's and SpWi's, so I started up a MeAk for the cheezy start you get from polearm abomination-killing from deep-water. Already by D:3 I've found a +3 scale mail of cold resistance and the enchanter starting book, Book of Maledictions. I feel like I'm already forced to make a decision now whether I want to be an armor guy or a spellcasting guy (since I'm already very close to min delay on polearms).
