OK I guess let me redo it a little, splitting up the builds into categories for easier critique.
Class = Species + Background, and Combo = Class + God, is this convention?
First some warm-up characters:
TrCK of Xom, plain unarmed
FeBe of Trog
HaWr of Okawaru, slings
SpAs of Dithmenos, ultimate purely physical stabber
VpEn of Ashenzari, needs less speed than a spriggan
DrCj of Vehumet, there is no sturdier species to be conjurer
TeAE of Vehumet, best at conjurations/air magic, bad at invocations
DENe of Kiku, necromancy actually being their best school that damages
OgGl of Trog, a little throwing, doing a non-zealot troglodyte
Then harder characters, but ones easy to pigeonhole:
MiFi of Zin, best class for the god that limits weapon choice, needs versatility
OgAr of Nemelex, ogres need backup and have XP to spare on evocations
HOFE of TSO, hofe is classic and a suitable class for TSO
DgTm of Nobody, pinnacle of self-sufficiency
HOFi of Beogh, duh
OpVM of Sif Muna, poison is octo's best, need early boost, seek spider form
FoDK of Lugonu, polearms, Lugonu ideal crutch against stasis
KoHu of Yred, species is best at crossbows, best for god due to hunger
DDFi of Elyvilon, species has least incentive to avoid using Elyvilon's powers
MfGl of Fedhas, best species for god obviously
HEAM of Chei, the not-naga not-melee Chei character
HaAs/Gl of Ru, sacrifice hand and courage, halflings are underused anyway
NaFi of Ru, pump strength and armor and axes, scum other sacrifices like stealth
Now to partner up some of the kids no one wants to play with:
GlGl of Kiku, staves, necromancy, evocations, different use of god this time
MuIE of Gozag, both ice magic and Gozag are ideal for mummies
DsMo of Jyiva, a challenge to postpone, yes of course
FeWi of Sif Muna, a startling reversal of FeBe, open-ended abuser of channeling
As far as I can see there are no awkward combos above.
Finally, the guys left over are VS Gr Ce | Sk EE Su | Makhleb Qazlal. Weirdos:
VSSk of Makhleb, squishy hybrid with healing, panic buttons, and free ranged attacks
CeSu of Xom, join and abandon Nemelex first, a non-zealot plaything and Xom scummer
GrEE of Qazlal
HuWn of Lugonu, the final non-zealot worshipper of a starter god
Shortlisted combos:
MiBe of Trog, repeats other troglodytes pointlessly
CeHu of Okawaru, redundant and too obvious
NaMo/Tm of Chei, redundant and too obvious
NaAs of Dithmenos, redundant and too esoteric
