Most pathetic first vitory, High Elven Barbarian Shali

Necromancer? Survivability?

...

I think what you're looking for right there is a druid.

I got a crash after getting a nice high DV paladin up to level 21, so this game is lost.

I'll give the same advice I was given... use the server if you can. I've had no problems with it.

Actually, the first time I played on the server, I walked into the SMC, trying to figure out the controls (not yet having set some settings). I walk a few steps, then crash! "Damn, we can't recover the game! Oh well, go again and be grateful that you didn't lose a really good level 50." I won't trust the recover feature that much if I were you.

Edit: Was thinking backwards, please excuse my earlier comment . Yar, druid is great at the beginning. It's the middle and the end that felt tough for me whenever I played one. Necromancer was tough in the beginning, moderate at the middle, and easier at the end, with all that magic.

It does have a recover feature, though, so if you do crash there's at least a chance. Although I've never even crashed since using the server, let alone not had it recovered. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Unfortunately, barbarians have more serious problems reading spellbooks. The only way for them to really effectively use spells is to bookcast them after having learned them from a wand/potion of wonder.

I once managed to learn Light and Darkness from blessed books as a barbarian (without Concentration) but never any other spells.

Cool game!

I'm assuming when you say druid, you mean priest, right?
