CIP: Weird, unfocused MfWp. Angered Fedhas. Now what?
So, in a huge derp moment, I invoked a disc of storms, blasted my mushrooms, and really pissed off Fedhas ("godly wrath is upon you!"). I've cleared a couple floors and prayed pretty much every corpse, and just managed to bring it down to "you've transgressed heavily! Be penitent." Given that it's going to take quite a while to work off Fedhas' wrath, my piety will be low by the time Fedhas is mollified, and Fedhas isn't incredibly useful at this point anyways, I figure I should just go ahead and convert to another god, yes? (I wasn't planning to convert unless I wanted to do extended, but that plan is out the window.)
I've only ever done the "standard" conversion to TSO for extended, so I'm not quite sure how to approach this. Any advice? My character is strangely unfocused, though is killing dudes just fine thanks to elite equipment finds. (I'm quite aware that my skilling is wildly sub-optimal, but it works... for now.)
Key equipment:
The quarterstaff of Ruination was a pretty awesome find early on, but I'm very quickly approaching the point where venom is less helpful and MR- is actively harmful, so I figure I'll switch to the Elemental Staff unless I find an awesome artifact lajatang or polearm... Elemental Staff kind of implies that I should go in the direct-damage caster direction (the resistances free up slots for enhancer rings and +Int equipment), but I'd have to learn that from scratch, which is fine, I suppose.
All altars except Lugonu should be available. (I didn't actually enter Temple, but we can assume it's probably not corrupted, since there weren't a boatload of overflow altars.) I'm considering:
- Kiku - learn necromancy from scratch, eventually get myself a trident/demon trident of pain? But by that point pain is less useful of a brand...
- Vehumet - learn conjurations from scratch, get help with it. Probably the best choice?
- Sif Muna - hmm. Vehumet is probably better in this situation.
- Nemelex - lol... but Evocations does synergize with Elemental Staff, and I already have some levels in Evocations so decks are an option. I'm actually seriously considering this for the fun factor.
- Am I missing an obvious choice here?
Interesting event: I had the best start ever. Literally the first time I pressed 'o':
Thanks for the help!
edit: yeah it should be MfWr, looks like I have to do some IRL penance too
