Guess I'll need to start carrying a sling around.
Ask fellow adventurers how to stay alive in the deep, dark, dangerous dungeon below, or share your own accumulated wisdom.

But if my Demonspawn mutations have given me Hooves 3 and Horns 2 (also claws, annoyingly), does that change the game much? I seem to be dishing out a fair amount of punishment in kicks and headbutts...
I think it's worth training it at least a bit, the question is: "up to which level?". Also, if you have decent slaying this is gonna be even more fun.

I've tried running a SpAr (because they can Evoke just as well ad DDs, but are better at spellcasting, and Invocation doesn't seem to have a huge effect on Nemelex's effectiveness.) but once I get to the second or third floor the enemies cease to take any damage from my Rod whatsoever, I have no usable magic, and I get thrashed in melee. It seems that my only chance taking down enemies is if I find Poisoned Darts that I can use to take things down relatively quickly, but those are consumed quickly as well.

Nexodas wrote:What race would be a good start if I wanted to use Summoning magic backed by a bow/crossbow?
I noticed that all of my characters thus far have been either a melee powerhouse (Be/Fi) or a conjurations-based Spellcaster. I want to try something different.
I was thinking HE, but they have -2 in Summonings. I'd much rather begin the game with summoning, and then later on kill a centaur with Canine Familiar or something to get the bow and start using that.
So, what race would work decently with that? Deep Elf? Sludge Elf? Something I have not considered?
