So playing a Dark elf Paladin (got super unlucky last like 25 characters) and this guy I was like screw it when i was near death like 12 times, and not only did he manage to come out on top but actually is doing really well (two precrownings, archmage staff yuck! bad damage stats for a two handed, and Scorpion's Sting Nice!)
Just did the Pyramid, instead of going for 3rd precrowning, as i had killed the dark druid that had the black torch (it was a screw it moment and i lured him to an altar :P )
NOW DOING THE COC to get to dwarf town and lookie what I found! An altar (which i know i can change with reliable chance to Lawful) AND a FORGE in the same room!
