So the second character got overwhelmed by crowds in the Desolation of Salt, so I am now generating another character, who can HOPEFULLY get farther than the first character at least.
Complete N00b’s Journey: Character #3
The RNG has given me Sebomoru, the Mummy Assassin. As with the first two characters, the first goal for this character is to get to the Ecumenical Temple. I believe that Gozag is one of the top gods of choice for mummies, since mummies aren’t worried by the lack of corpses and can get potion effects in emergencies? I’ve also heard of good things about Hepliaklqana for Mummy Assassins, since looking at the high scores reveals someone that got all 15 runes with Hepliaklqana as the god of choice. I also heard good things about Okawaru, Kikubaaqudgha, and Dithmenos in general. No rings or jewelry should be worn until at least the scroll of remove curse has been identified.
I think the plan for this character is to train Fighting, Short Blades, Dodging, Throwing, and Stealth (with an emphasis on that particular skill).
For levelling up, I think you're supposed to focus on Dexterity to help with stealth and stabbing?
Which weapon class is best for this character in general, assuming he doesn’t find an artifact? And which armor is generally suitable for a Mummy Assassin like Sebomoru?
Any tips for this new character are appreciated! If this character makes it to the Temple, I will start a new thread that will keep a record of my progress.
EDIT: Nevermind. This guy didn't even make it past D:2. Natasha did a number on the guy with the imps before he could kill her. Came very close to killing her, but Natasha struck some lucky blows. Death flag if you are interested in it.

So now we move on to *another* character, who will hopefully have a longer lifespan than Sebomoru:
Complete Noob's Journey: Character #4:
This time: The RNG gave me Keamoos, the Demigod Fighter. The random recommended choice that I was assigned was a war axe. The first goal yet again is to get to the Ecumenical Temple, even thought I am not allowed to worship a god. A much simpler plan is in order: Spend all level-ups on strength. No rings or jewelry should be worn until at least the scroll of remove curse has been identified. Stick with the starting war axe until you find an ego weapon, or even better, an artifact one. All tips for this character should go to the above fighter, not the dead assassin.
