What are your numbers?
I was curious to see how many characters people have to start before they get a "good one" going and if there are thresholds people use to gauge if a character will make the grade lower down. I know a lot of this is subjective and sort of useless since much depends on what items come your way, but indulge me if you will.
Currently I get to the end of D3 and try all my scrolls, potions, wands, etc. If I have yet to get anything of any utility I think about starting over. If I move past that point I do know that if I can't take a room full of orcs with the equipment I have I will probably not make it since even if I avoid the Orcish Mines I will just have centaurs or gnolls or some other hoard on D10 or earlier.
My biggest problem is that when I get a good character going I end up in places I am not familiar with and thus get into danger. I don't always want to run to the Wiki and when I do it tends to be too late.
Anyway, just curious to know if I am just not good at this game or just unlucky or what cause it is long and super lethal.
