CIP->YASD (MiFi 16: quaff-ID !mutation isn't always bad)
Haven't been playing Crawl for a while, but hearing 0.10 is out, picked it up again, and after playing countless wizards, conjurers and whatever elementalists decided give melee a try.
You know, I always tried to avoid quaff-ID'ing potions because of some bad experience with !mutation, or even worse, quaffing the only !cure mutation in the whole game on D:2. Current game was no exception at first, but there aren't many ?identify - they are almost a rarity - so I had a lot of unidentified potions lying around in L:2 (of course, I knew curing and healing). Getting tired of that, I decided to quaff-ID the largest stacks. I mean, that stack of 5 found before Lair can't be mutation, right?
"You feel extremely strange. You can translocate small distances at will. You cover ground slowly. You can spit poison."
Daaaaamn...
I woudn't care about some small inconvenience like Str-1, but getting slowness on a melee is bad. So in frustration I drank all 5, hoping for slowness to go away. It didn't. So I start to drink every other potion out there and...
"It has a very clean taste. You feel an ache in your throat. You feel quick. You feel clever. You feel stronger."
leaving me with
This is probably the first time random mutations gave me something useful with no crippling downsides, and I'm happy because of it. I also feel extremely dumb about forgetting that shop in Orc:4 and not wearing the thing before quaff-ID'ing, so I should probably immediately go and buy and wear that thing

I haven't enchanted my bardiche yet because I'm hoping to get a better brand than poison (from Oka or Hall of Blades).
Should probably get polearms to 26, fighting to 20's, then traps to ~10 and armour/dodging to whatever.
And note to self: don't go into Elf:5 without Firestorm or at least Freezing Cloud or whatever ranged nuke, like, ever again!
Edit:
15 minutes later.
In V:3, received an Orb of destruction to the face from Boris, and got banished to Abyss from Zot trap on the next turn, where Hellion finishes me right off. Looks like the game just says: "You got blink, AC and extra kick, but they won't save you lololololz!"
