So, I've been playing around with the DwarfChocolate mod, most notably the extra that adds in Wizard Towers.
A brief note: Wizards are overpowered.
How overpowered?
Wizards are on the level with fully automatic dual Silverballers with magnum ammunition in Hitman: Blood Money, in terms of general overpowered-ness. (Makes fighting them a daunting task, especially if you aren't a wizard yourself.)
Anyways, I had a vampire witch (witches are what female wizards are listed as in Dwarf Chocolate, not to be patronizing.) who'd been slaughtering villagers, bandits, and bogeymen alike. She had single-handedly racked up over four hundred and fifty kills, a large chunk of the sentient population on the small island that she was on. She carried two weapons, one a steel dagger pimped out with the bones of a giant leopard she had slain, along with bone opal gems, and the other, a titanium longsword that had been decorated with the bones of an eagle, as well as various gems. She would walk into villages at dawn, just as the occupants of the houses were beginning to rise, and lay waste to them. Having legendary skills in both sword and dagger, she wore no armor, and simply batted bolts and arrows out of the air. Also being a witch, she had a variety of spells at her disposal. She would use a spell that imbued her with ridiculous speed to run circles around her foes while launching fireballs at long-range targets. After she'd decimated every village besides the capital of Singednoble (an unusually dwarven name for a human town), she set her sights there. She strolled into the marketplace at high noon, and cast a spell causing a merchant nearby to go berserk and create general chaos, before she launched herself into battle. She killed every single living thing in the marketplace in the most violent ways at her disposal (melted one dude's eyeballs). Well, almost everything. Her right hand had been disabled by a goblin planter's crossbow, but her left hand still held her steel dagger, which was responsible for the deaths of over two hundred and fifty souls. She stood down the lone survivor of the marketplace massacre, a human farmer. She lured him over to a cliff, planning to kick him off, and she charged. He dodged out of the way, and she was slightly taken aback by this. She removed a crossbow from her backpack, intending to shoot him from point- blank range. Her shot missed, and the farmer took advantage of this, and went on the offensive. She dodged a particularly anemic blow from the farmer. Over the cliff.
Fell five z-levels before smashing her skull on a rock.
R.I.P. she will be missed ;_;
Moral: ALWAYS SET YOUR DODGING PREFERENCES.
