    Default YAVP: Veto, the Dark Elf Barbarian

    This character was made to veto a motion in the Nomic thread. Don't really have much to say about the character; it was a pretty easy game. Crowned with skullcrusher. Used that and Rolf set for most of the game. Killed ACW, Archmage, and all balors on D:50 in melee. Amusingly, this is the first non-troll I've had that has cleared D:50 and not finished the game at level 50. I don't believe that this character ever found a waterproof blanket, which was a little annoying. Lost 2 SoCR to a water trap at one point.

    YOUR HISTORY:
            Your father was an accomplished hunter and warrior. You were
     well-respected and comparatively wealthy.
            As a child you were not accepted by the other children of your
     tribe. Your childhood was sad and lonely.
            During your youth you traveled to nearby tribes and traded with
     them. You met many strangers and learned a lot about the outside world.
            As a young adult your family was killed in a raid. You became
     embittered and filled with the desire for revenge.
            At the age of 146 you left your tribe.

    I think Balors can summon pretty much any monster in the game. I've had them summon doppleganger kings and great wyrms before IIRC.

    The treasure hunter motion made no reference to whether or not I could actually take the talent in any game.

    A strange choice of race IMO.

    It was a random character. DElves actually are pretty good barbarians (and excellent beastfighters) though. Barbarians don't have find weakness or alertness (I'm not sure if they have stealth, for that matter), so you get a couple of killer skills to add to your repertoire. Starting stats aren't perfect, but it's a still a tougher-than-average PC in the early game.

    I don't mind playing illiterate for a little while, to be honest. It's an easy enough problem to solve, and you don't need to do much reading before DT anyway. I honestly think I'd probably take pretty much any other race over GE/HE for a barbarian. Even human, maybe, and humans are pretty much terrible at everything.

    That said, Veto2 is a (random) HE barbarian, and is on a similar trajectory to this character.
