Blessing it makes the stat increases give like 1d4 at a time. This thing is terribly OP in my opinion. I must've gotten about +6 in every (relevant) stat due to it.

When did the XP get nerfed anyway? The last 10 characters I've won the game with have all hit level 50 well before D:50, and I have not scummed at all in those games. I find it very surprising that...

If ticking the box is really important to you, you can wish for a raider lord. Just make sure to not talk to the sheriff after Kranach is supposed to not be around anymore.

Happened to me a few times this playthrough that I caught myself thinking 'wew this lad is pretty hard to hit' and they would've equipped pretty good armor and stuff. A two handed sword of parrying...

Weaponsmiths are great fun. They start with their strength score adjusted so they are not burdened by their carrying weight (edit: this means they generally start with 19-20 strength. Anvils are...

I've been playing this game for years and only once won with a mindcrafter. I absolutely hate the class. I'll concede that greater telekinetic blast is the single most powerful 'magical' ability,...

I see nothing wrong at all with precrowning. It is boring and tedious and completely optional. Simply a way to work at your character to improve it so you either take it or leave it. The same thing...

The one that will stay with me the most was a mist elf thief. I had just invested a few hours into the character, it was level 10 or 11. So naturally it had a solid 45 hp at most or something. I have...

Paralyzation is truly one of the most painful ways to die in ADOM. My first gate closer got killed by a mimic hivemind in the ID because I thought I was hot shit. I wasn't. :(

Doesn't the manual (and the class name itself) explicitly state that they should try to duel at all times? :P

Typical death through overconfidence, it's so recognizable. It usually happens later...

We've all had our stupid deaths, bad decisions made and general unluckiness. Have you ever had a situation where you got completely screwed by something you didn't expect in such a spectacularly...

I have never tried a steel man before. It seems as if the biggest opponent in this type of challenge is boredom. Did you ever come close to dying? Very well done to complete this challenge, any idea...

Congratulations on your win! I really like reading these long stories when it comes to victory posts. It really gives you an idea how the game went. True Aim is a seriously strong artifact nowadays,...

Music is ADOM's cat nip. (and mine)

I have to admit to my shame that I actually managed to get myself killed by a ratling thief boss monster that got generated when I was still level 1. That was the only time it happened.

I also...

Currently in a run with a drakish beastfighter. Someone said DH doesn't generate nasty things upon entering, but the threaten room of titans disagreed with that.

I precrowned with True Aim,...

That is beautiful.

I would probably struggle heavily if I didn't have a guaranteed way to confuse every single minotaur I met. They hit HARD. I still got hit down low a fair few times and I even got a couple of stat...

I cleared a greater undead vault with a mindcrafter. Invisibility goes a long way. How on earth were your stats so low though?

Funny that you should mention this, because minotaurs are exactly the type of monster where this doesn't apply. Except the regular minotaur corpse, every single corpse of their race cuts your...

Do remember that after crowning you cannot change alignment. If you do, you'll become a fallen champion, which is pretty much equal to playing cursed (I think?). And it feelsbadman.

Let's make it easy and call the lahweutlhwelauthnoal town 'hole in the wall', since it is an anagram of that.

What I do to start games off:
1. Verify if my PC has healing and/or herbalism.
2. No...

That's why I never consider getting it, the unicorn quest's reward is way too good (both). 4-6 poga's or for lawfuls some +10-20 mana (mana orb etc). I pretty much only ever die to the big ACW there...

I probably win about one in ten these days, but over the entire course of adom perhaps one in hundred? Not counting quitting due to bad/unwanted starts.

Aside from currently trying to win for the...

I remember it being a lot worse for some reason.

I was more thinking among the lines of something that greatly boosts offensive capacity, or some way of speeding up the game at the cost of...
