So my question is, if i should switch to the gold dragon armor or if i should stick with robes. also, should i go straight for 3(4) runes and escape or is it worth to take a look at the endendgame with this char? The "plan" would be to switch to TSO and enchant the spiked club with holy wrath. or should i stick with unarmed combat?
And would it be worth to learn some more spells like reflect missile etc?

Thanks

Re: TrMo looking for advice

Lots of people have tried to get more than 3 runes the first time they're able to, and then die soon after, regretting that they hadn't just gone for Zot. But, others succeed. So it's up to you.

Is GDA considered heavy armor? I assume it is. If so, it's good for defense but might screw with your unarmed a bit. Maybe get the holy spiked club and then GDA.

Re: TrMo looking for advice

GDA is really heavy. You have no armour skill. I would not switch unless you plan to die. You still might find or get a better robe.

If you have never won before, you should go for the three runer.

This is one of the conundrums of playing a Troll. You end up spending a very good chunk of your game in search of SOMETHING, ANYTHING that trains your armor skill. I've even skinned a troll and enchanted its hide just to get the armor skill rolling.

All that time though, in order to stay alive, you need to be training dodging to keep up with the ever increasing difficulty of the monsters around you. By the time you finally get some decent swamp dragon armor or something, you've probably already dumped 12-17 skill levels into dodging, which might go wasted if you end up wearing GDA.

Almost makes me wish there were some other hides available for large races that were available in the early to mid-game for trolls and ogres to train up their armor skill. But at the same time, doing so may have the adverse effect of negating the large-size-no-armor-for-joo penalty that Trolls are born with.

Still though, wasting all those dodging points is a bit sad. I suppose if you stick to some of the more light heavy armors, you can still get good benefit out of that dodging skill. In my case though, I'm almost always shooting for the ultimate goal of wearing Gold Dragon Armor. How much Armor skill do you need while wearing GDA in order for your dodging skill to start working again?

Re: TrMo looking for advice

If I understand the formula correctly, and I'm looking at the correct one, 27 armor skill will cut your EV penalty by 60%, or equivalent to being in chain mail with 0 armor skill. Not terrible, although obviously you're not going to get armor skill that high in actual play. This assumes you have at least 27 strength, which is the minimum to not completely suck in that kind of armor.

As a matter of simple defense, it is probably worth exchanging the EV for the AC, particularly since 22EV isn't particularly awesome anyway. It'll cost you any hope of casting any spells ever, though, and it takes a LOT of enchant armor scrolls to get the full AC benefit.

the scrolls aren't exactly the problem as a troll.

22 EV may not be much, but I think it's better than 0 EV and minimal AC. Training armour in the early midgame is one thing - training it in the end-game is another. There are things around that can hurt you real fast.

If he's got the scrolls, it's +18 AC over his current robe even with zero armor skill. 41AC is actually very good. Comparatively, 22EV is much less than half as effective as 44EV. Losing 9 points from something that isn't doing much good anyway isn't such a terrible thing.
