always go for immunitys, such as fear immunity(especialy desiese immunity, HOLY SHIZ IS IT USEFUL).

As for you, I would recommend d.

Body Equilibrium is a spell you get, a nice luxury for a warrior.

Ah cool, and what about these feats? I took the "Improved ...." last time, I think.
Note: I don't want a super agile fighter with hundrets of special moves and spells, I'm gonna take a Dwarf with a hammer to smash the crap out of everyone passing my way.

Weapon Focus, Dodge, and Run are all safe bets for that kind of character.

I just played this. And I was amazed!

Okay, so I saw another mage. I cast Summon Monster 1(summons this stupid water thing which doesn't do much till later). Then boggarts came and were stealing from me. I got mad, force blasted the mage(who then fell unconscious) and then magic missiled the boggarts. The water thing then picked up my stolen wand of fire blast(or something like that)+5 and killed the mage in one shot.

Athletics, Find Weakness, Spot.  Maybe Bluff and Healing.

You always want healing, because it helps you recover hitpoints when you rest.

Beginner's tips for a fighter: Get Power Attack, Cleave and Knock Prone feats to deal more damage quicker. Use your starting oils of transformation first time you see a magical weapon better than your current but of a garbage base type (wooden fighting sick +1 of Foo transforms into iron warhammer +1 of Foo just fine). Don't go into close combat with grappling/engulfing monsters at all costs (Boa constrictors, Vampiric mists, Giant turtles) - throw daggers or blast wands if you can, always have a dagger on your belt or shoulder slot for these situations. Run away from incorporeal monsters as soon as you see them. Don't rely on any kind of god's help - that is a powerful but the least reliable solution for most problems. Either don't give a crap about your alignment (neutral evil and kill everything worth loot or XP) or prepare for being not legally able to finish some deeds.

Interestingly, gnomes make for some very powerful and versatile fighters.  With the right stats picked at the beginning, you will start off with both a mercurial broadsword and a cranquin, both of which are rather decent weapons.  Furthermore, gnomishness has special benefits, such as being able to operate said cranquin very quickly, being able to use wands with greater efficiency, and having innate permanent free movement (I can't tell you how many times that saved my ass).

You will be able to shoot, blast and slice just about anything that comes your way.

Since I don't wanna start a new thread about it, I'm just post it here (I guess nobody else has that problem anyway, I used the search thingy for over five minutes).

I can't go up- or downstairs with this keyboard. I can't type < > at all (just copy-pasted them).
In Dwarf Fortress, going one z-level up/down is not a problem, but in games like Incursion, Dungeon Crawl and whatnot, I really can't use stairways. Which sucks of course.
Any ideas what I could probably do instead? Already tried holding down shift, but that didn't do anything.

What keyboard are you using? Any chance of a photo?
For now try Shift+. or Shift+,

Okay.

Why is my stuff melting for no friggin reason?

Seriously, it happens to all of my characters. No curse items, no un-ided items wielded, first stuff in my pack starts melting, then my main weapon. 50 turns later I'm dead.

What the hell?

Sadly, my camera doesn't work right now, and I have no idea what this keyboard is called... it's a Logitech one, here's a (small) pic.



But anyway, I guess I just have to play with the keyboard setting a bit. Shit + , . doesn't work. For whatever reason. ;x
