Luck
Well, I think Creator Day start for my Dwarven Ranger really did help. I had forgotten that I had yet to obtain Teleport Control when I went to the DDL/VDDL. I dove down to the VDDL, and hit a teleportation trap, which sent me to the center of the level. I go "Damn, I forgot to install teleport control on this guy! How could I forget that!" I take 5 more steps, hit another teleportation trap, and teleport right into the room with the wand and the downstairs. My reaction? Something like this...
Me: ............................
Me: Holy Shit.
EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention that I got only my 2nd ever RoDS during my exploration of SMC/UD, the very first dungeon I delved with this character. And then generated the Stone Giant Lord. Neutral. Whew.
EDIT 2: Further luck. At 25 STR, drink from a pool, get slightly strengthened. Two dozen steps later, gain 1 pt of Strength. I think I agree with Grey now, Karma wasn't with me because I made my first Creator's Day character a few hours early, but this character, who I made on the day itself for me, is rocking faces and taking names.
