I'm desperate - my latest HE druid that I really wanted to do an UNE, is affected by extreme case of "screw you no AoLS ever", as well as 3 or 4 promising chars before them. No AoLS or wishes (or SLB, not that they matter) in CoC, frost caves, ToHK, Library, ToEFl, maze, all Rs, or darkforge. Looks like Khelly is not gonna make it through this one, and an amazing prospect of a UNE is wasted. And to add insult to injury, he actually has 13 spell knowledge in Divine Intervention (5160 pp to cast) . If there is indeed an RNG twist that makes it generate better items in exchange for taking higher risk, I would very much like to understand how it works.
From my experience it feels as though characters with extremely low str find better equipment, that is not tested properly however. Also my experience is that skipping to an extremely out of depth dungeon yields far better rewards, but with the obvious risks.
Just an update in this character, had a few hours to play.
I didn't realize that summon monster was a recharge pp button for necromancers! Seriously, shadow touch is amazing! Never used it with my other necro's but this one is killing chaos warriors unarmed and gaining mana for it, he's up to 83 mana with no grinding.
On a related side note, shadow touch is only a chaotic act if used on a non-chaotic creature. So I'm comfortably l+
Sometimes the whole game is paved with awesome finds isnt it?
I just had a ME thief who found whirlwind on Barnabas shop, 7LB's on PC:6 and 3 mixed vaults on UD.
He died to a thrown rock by an out-of-sight stone giant upon arrival in HMV thou... ¬¬

Just an update, had a few hours to play, and this ME is bashing balors to death with his fist. I had decided to go ultra with him, because it's been a while. So I am descending into the ID hoping my first kill was a giant rat not a normal rat, only 69 vs. 187. Was going to go archmage with him too but I stupidly carried the spellbook with me into the dragon caves.... Oops! No fear of death, he's overpowered with 99 mana, contemplating potion of exchange because all my other stats are in the 50's and I have a long way to walk.
