Managed to install Healing (and Good Learner / Immune to Pain). This one is looking pretty good, although the low Food Preservation skill could become an issue - I might not have it at 60 by the time I need to farm up Toughness.

Is monk or beastfighter worth considering? With the monk you could dispense with means of digging-restriction-workaround.

Worth considering? Certainly. I'll probably even try one at some point. The main disadvantage with monks is that they have no ranged attack nor means to disable monsters; that means taking your completely naked monk into melee with a non-disabled ACW, which would be a very hard fight to say the least. Drakelings can try to spit but it takes about a blessed stoma's worth of nutrition to take down the Wyrm, and you can't get satiation anywhere near that high with Survival alone; it might be doable with food prayers though.

[sorear]

On some reflection, most of the major chaotic acts are meaningless without the possibility of an item reward. So I have used mindcraft to kill Jharod (only taking me to NC), and now obtained a N= crowning (Staff of the Wanderer and =Elec).

Finished VD easily; no stat drainers this time. Couldn't get Steel Skin just yet due to toughness; lots of Alertness training from kobold shamans and dark sages. Yriggs' hatchet was broken; don't think I've seen that before.

[sorear]

PC1 pool gave nothing permanent (except shock resistance, which does nothing for me). The ants were harder to kill than last time; I couldn't noticably hurt them in melee. PC6 was
orcs; nice and easy... and edible, unlike last try's undead. Food Pres reached 60 at level 12, clearing PC6.

I am glad to find your site - now I know what a good one looks like.
Very good topic to share with us. Great info.

Oh really? <_<

Now the spambots are posting in existing threads, too...

[DumbleDoor]

If you get a really lucky start, why not just play a regular play?
Because it wouldn't be honorable.
Also, corruption seems like a pretty big problem, and only 1 corruption removal in the game, unicornn.

Which is why taking a neutral crowning was so preferable.
