    Book-born hurthling healer called Dilbo, enemy of the undead. Lousy strength (5), good toughness (21), talents hardy and tough skin.

    First I went to the village, talking to a druid and a little girl. I went to a dangerous cave in the Drakalor pass. I encountered some goblins and hobgoblins, and I fought them. They were no match for Dilbo, until their boss (hobgoblin chieftain) showed up. From him Dilbo ran, and upon entering the room which he came to the dungeon from, he saw mirrors with distorted images of him. They shattered! Luckily that didn't kill him. Got to Lvl3 there, picked iron skin talent.

    To the druid dungeon then. First level was unremarkable though I got a short spear there (crappy but beats the scalpel), then went to the 2nd level of it. Then, pit viper trap! After a fight with the vipers, I had gotten my escape route clear, but the vipers' poison had gotten to my veins too much, and it did 13 dmg a turn. Used my prayers too, and most healing potions. But that wasn't enough.

    http://ancardia.ath.cx/adom_users/ars/dilbo.flg

    The PV kept me alive in that fight so long to be able to take 2 of the vipers down. TH wouldn't been any help, I couldn't even claim the loot from the goblins I killed. Now if some faggot comes claiming TH would've given me a potion to cure the poison with, or a shield... Yeah right.

    If anyone wants to know what a winner looks like, just
    check out this elf. Born in Salamander with all 3 of
    the 'aura' talents means 50 PP's to start out, not too
    bad at all! I really do feel sorry for any poor sod
    that would have to cripple such a powerhouse PC with
    some silly useless starting talents. No, on the other
    hand, I'm quite sure that +1 to Pe and increased fleeing
    proficiency will serve Grey quite nicely : )

    Small note: I am sick and not going to work today. So I rather stay in my bed an play adom. I am quite happy with the char:

    I have started a high elven necromancer as told. Choose female to possibly benefit from elves beauty sometime (but I am ugly...). The girl is N+. Started with a spellbook of frostbolt but that vanished after reading twice. I headed towards the SMC, and I found the downstaircase. I rapidly noticed that I had forgotten to care about healing. But then, I am candle starsign, and found a cure critical wounds spellbook. So I decided to go on, until a chaos brother forced me to cast from HP, so I went back to get healing first. On the way to the VD, kranach ambushed me (the first time I ever met him!) and I frost bolted him and his companions (ok ok, i was running around in circles constantly to pick up PP, so not so heroic) and got 3000 gold pieces. In the VD, I found a spellbook of slow monster, one of fire bold and one which I couldn't read, but stashed it close (but not too close) to the healer. Starting talents: Good shot, Quick, potent aura (charged not available, and I really miss it). At lvl 3 I picked Keen shot (although I have only kranach#s arrows without a bow).

    Have a look:

    Spellbook finds are not an issue at all... might they not be affected by the despised talent I try to free myself from once and for all? They are special in the sense of different probabilities for caster and noncasters, after all...
    ahh yes: 1st kill... I believe, a big dog, but could also have been sth. different.
