    Default YASD - Troll Weaponsmith

    I was beating up some undead on level 18 in COC with a character that had only his 1st corruption - the tissue. Then it happened - all of a sudden

    * 385696 Thoros. L14 trollish weaponsmith (M). 394635 xps. 55125
    turns. Died on 10/12/2010.
    He was blasted with magic missiles by a lich on level 18 of
    the caverns of chaos.

    I was nearly full healed ( ca. 188HP ) and had a ring of the clear mind - but I never met a simple Lich doing so much damage in one round? WTF

    I never won ADOM, these are my tries so far ( I take every character like the RNG is giving it to me)

    Seems a bit high damage to me too, but I'm no expert. Considering your other deaths I can just say you'll get there. Those are all pretty basic ways to die in ADOM and it was actually quite an entertaining read. Especially loved this: " She petrified herself by eating a gorgon corpse" (I remember doing it myself too years ago thinking this must give me petrification resistance)

    Lich blast does fire damage and in early game you maybe didn't have any fire resistance.

    Heh, reading your list I had to chuckle. Looks like you do learn a lot of lessons the hard way, the way everyone should because it's the most fun

    I wish I had access to a proper highscore list of mine right now; I would love to post it now too.
    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    well, you had that one coming

    This would be my guess too. High level elemental attacks actually can do a lot of damage. An ancient dragon or great wyrm, for example, can do upwards of 500 damage with a breath attack against an unprotected PC.
    Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
