After a couple of false starts, I finally got a nice doomed monk going. Started as raven-born drakeling. Levelled a bit in the ID, then cleared out DD to get Herbalism and Black torc. Had over 130 speed by level 10ish, which was pretty fun. Shops galore in the early game--books in PC gave me Cure Light Wounds, Teleport, Invisibility, Knock, Fire/Frost bolt, Magic Map, so I was pretty much set for life there. Potion and scroll shops were in the UD, and another scroll shop in the CoC. Raided Darkforge early with my spell reptoire to grab CoS, some dragon scale (black and white both) armor, and an eternium halberd. Wandered down to DT with almost 150 speed, and did the quests there. Got paralysis resist, petrification resist, and teleportitis from pools. Learned that a falling door can destroy maces of destruction and white dragon scale armors... Crawled up to level 16 and got the RCT before doing Griffyard. Screwed by the mystic, so I decided I'd better save Khelly. My potion shop had kickable walls, so I used kicks to clear the inventory of the store a couple times until I had a handful of PoEX, which I used to get 3 wishes. Used first wish on AKW, and levelled myself up from 16 to 25. Second was AoLS. Third was unused. Cleared ACW, Water and High Kings without too much trouble.
At Casino I found a kickass eternium halberd of penetration. I figured I should try for a doomed ultra since the PC was going so well. Helped the ratling, gathered Gaab'Baay's junk. Killed Keriax using a combination of a familiar-summoned balor, confusion potions, and my killer hammer. No greater vaults on lower levels, unfortunately. Cleared Air and Earth easily enough, then hit BDC. The purple W was probably the nastiest fight of the game. I used an awful lot of healing pots and water orb, and took a ton of item destruction in the process. I killed him, but it was all for naught as I forgot to get the quest before I descended, so no ultra for me :(
Continued on and did Mana. Ran into a bit of trouble with poison hands, mana battery, and stiff muscles all kicking in short succession, so had to flee to repair. Killed archmage in melee, then descended to D:50 and :Sed my way to victory.
Recovering health was a surprisingly persistent problem in this game. I never bothered to collect enough spenseweeds, and in the midgame I lost my dagger of endurance. I had a crown of regen, but I wanted CoS instead, so I was relying on CLW and Healing skill for a lot of minor injuries, which aren't really sufficient when you have 400+ HPs and are teleporting everywhere.
