CIP: MuGl of Gozag: Getting started?
I went with Gladiator background, since it's one I'm most familiar with and it's pretty straightforward: bash things with a stick and throw a net if it looks dangerous. I hypothesized that the -2 aptitude was slowing down weapon skill enough that I was feeling weak by around floor 5ish, so this time I've mixed in some early Fighting. Thing is, I didn't feel that way with Demonspawn (with only -1 aptitude), but maybe that's because I would usually get some helpful mutations to offset the low weapon skill?
Any advice on how to skill to get a mummy started? If this is a bad choice of background, is there a better one to learn mummies?
