You don't think stealth stands out much?![]()

So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
(after 15 I stopped counting...)
A lot of players undervalue stealth. Even I thought it was crap
until I started playing Crawl. In that game it is obvious how
good stealth is, and it made me appreciate it more in ADOM.
I can think of several situations where having the skill would
have saved my life. Granted, with TP CTRL and wand, it isn't
so useful, but up until then, steps/spaces count, and stealth
will give you extra.
"Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."
I was actually just making a pun (stealth doesn't stand out, ho ho). Stealth is very situationally useful, but not that good in a game where most things can be killed or avoided easily enough. I find it very handy it speedruns just so I don't have to bother with monsters (and 'cause it helps escape a DarkForge raid a little easier). Otherwise it's only good very early game or for backstabbing.
