MiBe, advice for noob
I am new to the game, I have played 10-12 characters so far.
I am doing pretty well however with this one. Pretty easy run so far, already have two runes (swamp and spider). Currently starting exploring Vault.
I've been only two times close to dying (very close).}
One was in Spider. I was careless and found myself cornered, stuck in a web, confused, poisoned, exhausted and slow, with 3-4 spiders hitting me. I spent like 4 potions of curing, 3 heal wounds, and thanks to the headbutt I finally killed them. That one was very close.
The other one was in swamp. I opened a door and some drakes and swamp dragons spammed me with mephitic and poison. I ran and barely survived-
I'd like some general advice on things to bear in mind, criticism on skill management, inventory, etc- Just general tips. Do you think this character is a potential game-winner?
Also, why am I "slow"? (it takes me 1,1 turns to move)
Thank you
