    Default Need some advice

    For once I actually got a character past Khelly, a Drakish paladin, but I think I dove too quickly. I've just recently done the earth temple without too much difficulty, but the earth elementals hit like trucks built to carry other trucks (when they actually hit me). I think I'm doing decent damage, thanks to an axe of devestation and the cat lord's ring (yay for music), but I just don't have the hit points to take more than a couple big hits and I'm scared I'm going to overextend myself and die again. I'm level 26 at this point, with dv/pv of 93/54 at normal tactics, but I don't really have anything to compare it to as I've never been this far before. Is 342 hp far too little for this stage of the game, or am I being paranoid? Should I jump into the ID and try to get some !oAttribute or experience (not too fond of this idea since I was pretty slow and I'm sure background corruption's quite high at this point)? I thought about doing the library, but I'm just shy of the climbing skill necessary to enter the rift. I do have a spare ring of djinni summoning, if that makes any difference, but I'm really not sure what to do with it.

    It's hard to tell without seeing the rest of your stuff (inventory, days passed) but your character looks very good to me. To be honest, your character looks a good bit stronger than my last winner, a ranger (checking now...)

    EDIT: My last winner, at a glance...

    YOUR HISTORY:
            Your parents are travelling adventurers. They are doing moderately
     well but are talented enough to survive.
            As a child your parents cared a lot for you. Despite all
     circumstances you enjoyed a happy and fine childhood.
            In your youth you enjoyed competition against others to the
     fullest. You were a very active kid.
            Your young adulthood was characterized by hard and long work. You
     had decided to study under a renowned master. To your great disappointment
     you had to find out, that he was a hard, unjust and tyrannic man,
     embittered by his old age. Your apprentice years were quite terrible.
            You decided to become a Ranger.

    Unless I'm missing something, you look to be better than that. The biggest issue you have is your levels, but those will come with time, or with a good tension room/vault found in the lower levels. Otherwise, just keep doing what you're doing, make sure you have the proper intrinsics for the hardest part in the game left, the mana temple, and keep rocking.

    Since you seem to have not done the Mana Temple, I'm going to give you a few pieces of advice (these are also in the guidebook, if you use it).
    1) Have death ray resistance
    2) Have a light source
    3) Have confusion resistance
    4) Have humanoid slayers

    1 and 2 are critical, 3 and 4 less so if you know what you're doing. Just realize that the Mana Temple is a madhouse, and it is the 2nd and last big roadblock in the game, after the ToEF.

    I have pretty poor luck with vaults, with the only one I've seen being a lesser fire creature one somewhere in the 30s (SO glad I had frost bolt for that). For some reason most of my tension rooms are also filled with traps and the monsters kill themselves before I get a chance to - funny, but not great for xp. I'm also pretty deep at this point (early 40s), but maybe vaults have a better chance to be generated in those last few levels.

    How important is a light source? I've got light and death ray resistance, but both are in amulet form. Would it be worth using a wish for death ray resistance and wearing an amulet of light? I assume that just casting it is out of the question. I think there's also a pool left somewhere in the UD - maybe I'll go drain that and hope.

    I'm pretty sure the ancient mummy wrapping gives death ray resistance. I'd probably use the wish for find weakness.

    Sword of Nonnak gives death resistance, as does mummy wrappings. That char of mine is lost btw, accidently closed out of adom. I posted it someplace how i really wish we could get a true windows port that can have auto-save exit.
    To this day I have not once scummed in ADOM.
    Probably why I dont have a win.

    That's not so bad. I accidentally 'Q'uit my very promising trollish beastfighter instead of talking to thrundarr and getting my literacy potion.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I completely forgot about the ancient mummy wrappings.

    So I kill the Chaos Archmage at level 29 without too much difficulty (aside from my ring of mental stability not providing much stability), go back to D:48, drop the orbs into their slots, and ADOM irrecoverably crashes. Crap.

    Oh well, at least now I have some experience with the endgame for my next characters.

    Oh dude, that blows. I'm sorry man. I have had that happen to a couple of my promising characters. It's tough.

    Wow, that is awful dude... Your stats sounded as good or better than my win this morning, which was a drakish barb, when I was tackling earth temple. Good luck on your next attempt, crashes are a bitch =\
