YAVP Gnome Bard (first since comeback, second total)

[Unforgiven82]

Regular gateclosing.

So Roger Wilco the Bard started his career with mediocre set of skills. No herbalism or healing. Decided to go for herbalism since he was candle born. Started VERY carefully going to ID for early levelling and some items to help survive. Quickly found Teleport book which helped a lot. Didn't get any decent armour untill darkforge and no great weapons in the whole game. Found an altar in the puppy cave and had unbelievable luck with herb patterns in the big room (five 2*2 stoma patches) so decided to go all in with three precrowns at level 14. Ended up with "only" two precrowns and crowning because I forgot about the screen refresh bug for alignment when saccing. First precrown was the quarrell of uselessness and second was the black tome of good starting money from dwarftown shop. Crowning got me the trusted one which I thought sucked ass, until I realised that it actually gives great DV/PV with all the resistances I'm ever going to need. At the end with smithed/enchanted gear I was basically untouchable by almost all the mosters in the game (ring of immunity from the Casino didn't hurt either).

Carefull is really the word that describes this game untill after ToEF. I never descended below dwarftown other than to do the quest before I had already done pyramid, griffyard, darkforge, RotHK, rift, ToEF and killed the Water dragon mommy (came really close to dying there but finished her with darkness and acid balls, netted about 5 levels, nothing special in the treasure). I was somewhere around level 33 at this point. After this I descended straight 'till the shortcut doing everything that needed to be done. Killed artificer for anvil and went to do some smithing. As said after this I was pretty much invulnerable. Accidentally killed a cat by running to him around a corner so didn't get the ring. Not much of a hassle since catlord fell easily and with find weakness and backstabbing at 100 I was doing ebough crits as it was. After smithing I bought my SoCR (had way more than I needed from the weird tome and dwarven mystic) back from dwarftown and started the final descent.

Giant vault gave me long sting (never used) and a regular dwarven chaos knight dropped the artifact pickaxe. Meleed earth temple being surrounded without difficulties with a club of penetration and hit level 50 while there. After that I decided I was way too overpowered to have any caution any more so I just magic mapped and teleported rest of the levels. Stood toe to toe with the arch mage first meleeing with poison hands and then finishing with some humanoid slayers (had over 800 hp and dv around 130 when defencive so it was a breeze). Sliding with a PoUselessness gave me a sling (this guy had the worst luck with artifacts I've ever had). In D50 I read my 3 scrolls of familiar summoning and got two writhing masses and a greater earth elemental. The Elemental gor all the way to very experienced killing the foos and actually ended up killing most of the Balors and helping a lot with fisty. Not that I needed the help but it did speed things up. Or actually I prolly would've finished faster without the pet elemental since he kept hanging around so close that I didn't use my ball spells all that much, but this was more fun. Anyways we killed everything with my trysty elemental, closed the gate, got cleanced by the unicorn and yelled "Finally!" in the middle of the night so loud that I prolly woke my neighbors.

I'll try to post the memorial after this (I'm pretty sure I know how

RoI and you complain???

RoI and you complain???

Got Fire immunity in crowning and didn't do the blue D caves so RoI was basically "just" a [+5,+5] ring. IMO it's way overrated since resistances are so easy to come by in adom. Can't really imagine it to have any significant impact on any game. Of course it's nice to have since there are very few really good rings in the game, but the effect ain't that noticeable compared to some of the really game-breaking (meaning giving overconfidence and breaking your char in half 'cause you do something stupid) artifacts.

So now I have a monk and a bard win. Can't really decide what I'd try next. How about pure chaotic DE Priest going for a regular chaos god just for RP reasons.

Dark elf/gnomish Beastie
Grey elf wizzie (pushover)
Barbarians.
Healers
Paladins
Fighters (bit challenging, they're not exceedlingly good)

Get an acid blast from a wyrm, or from Andy (i think he can cast those). Getting a blast from something you resist but aren't iummune is sometimes awful, i remember being insta killed by an emperor lich that way, frost.

Is that from Space Quest series? They're awesome! (but somehow I've never managed to fully complete any game)

That would be correct. Finished the first on my own (my dad helped a bit I must admit) and the others eventually with walkthroughs. Actually Space Quest 1 is the first game I ever finished (if I remember correctly I finished super mario bros almost a year later) and it's mostly responsible for my early English learning.

I believe these were suggestions for what to play next. Won't play another gnome for a while, I don't like how wizzies get so overpowered that it becomes boring. Barbarians always bring out my own stupidity by being overpowered in the middle game and giving false sence of security. Healers I don't like on priciple. So perhaps I'll go for a pally or a fighter when I feel like bashing and a priest when I feel like casting spells (I know they can get overpowered too but still). Actually I think I'll skip the priest since it could end up feeling too much like this bard (who started with detect item status).

Yup... a pure basher it will be. Fighter should be nice since it shouldn't become too powerfull too soon to give that cozy feeling that leads to YASD. Or a beastie since then I wouldn't have to complain about not getting decent weapons (but that'd be too much like playing a monk)
