Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

That said, scumming with a vampire is slightly more effective since you can pile up a nice set of mutations, and as long as you have sustain attributes you can avoid stat zero by the time you get good items + mutations.
