    Should have asked for sturdier dungeons.

    How the hell does one train strength kicking stairs anyway? 2 kicks and I'm dead.

    Does it work between St 1-10 maybe, when just carrying around a few rations would do the same?

    2 kicks. Am at a loss why anyone would want to take such a risk deliberately.

    Still, thanks for your inspiring to-hit related ranger thread - Freda was lots of fun before I mindlessly killed her.

    I have fun with rangers too. It's really wierd that
    a PC can cut through steel golems like butter,
    while wielding his starting 1d8 scimitars. My guy
    didn't even have a ring of damage or do any
    smithing.

    Smithing= scumming.
    The RNG is the source of chaos and corruption.

    Over at rec.games.roguelike.misc there was a post
    not long ago criticizing the scummy nature of w5'ing
    in Crawl. They said that it was a low risk way of
    increasing a PC's survival chance. To answer the
    obvious question, no, he wasn't being sarcastic.

    Carefully building powerful PC's is seldom something
    I do these days due to boredom. On the other hand, I
    have consistantly and efficiently killed all my characters
    in the last, oh, 5 forum challenge games very early.
    Maybe there's something to careful PC building after all.

    Do they bypass PV or something? O.o

    No, not really, but yeah, kinda : )
    1. When dual wielding they get *rediculous* to-hit boni.
    2. They get two hits per round with a properly trained weapon.
    3. The DE variety will have the 'find weakness' skill at 100 by DF.
    4. Respectable St from being strained(!) and ogre cave corpses.
    5. With no shield, there is no reason to not set tactics to berserk.

    Even with sucky to-damage, the guy was powerful, and that was
    on the way in. Once I hit the weapons room, I came out wielding
    and eternium scimitar and a sword of sharpness. I may as well
    have been bypassing PV : )

    Yes. Boredom, boredom and boredom. And overpowered unbreakable PCs that win the game on autopilot. To make it even more boring, play a wizard.

    Oh, i guess i'm just bitter because my never-read-a-thing high elven wizard was killed by Nuurag-Vaarn berserking and getting a double energy bolt shot; it's clearly a sign of low ADoM skillz when you can't be arsed to scum your piece of long eared white meat to 500+hp.

    I actually did a demo once, of how to beat the
    mana temple while naked, no -deth, and only
    using a few poisoned missiles.
