Retooling Okawaru
Teleportation, blinking, and berserk might save your buns in the short term, but it's virtually guaranteed that Okawaru will send a formidable challenge your way shortly after (along with piety loss).
Okawaru's main gimmick is that he encourages fighting multiple enemies at a time. This is the only way to gain piety (no more sacrificing corpses). You can fight in corridors, but then you will get very little benefit from following Okawaru. The more enemies you are fighting at once, the more power Okawaru bestows upon you to deal with the situation. Only formidable foes count (e.g. non-grays)
* -
** - You receive one point skill increase in every combat skill for every non-gray enemy beyond the first that is adjacent to you. Maxes at 6 enemies. (i.e. 5 enemies give you 4 skill points, 6, 7 or 8 enemies give you 5).
*** - You can summon 2 non-gray enemies to battle. However, they tend to be on the weaker side of the spectrum (but not guaranteed!).
**** - Each enemy beyond the second reduces melee and ranged attack speed by 20%, to a maximum of 100% (at the 7th enemy).
***** - You can summon 4 non-gray enemies to battle. They also tend to be on the weaker side of the spectrum.
****** - No additional powers.
Also, Oka doesn't hand out gifts anymore. Thoughts?
