I tried that one time.  I died due to running out of strength.

[Frumple]

Third arm mutation would be kinda' awesome. Shame there isn't really one out there. Jiyva's pseudopods probably come closest in flavor, but they don't let humans treat two-handed weapons as 1.5 ones...

Still, a troll in GDA with a giant spiked club and a large shield? Yes please~

[Puck]

Problem:

Your vision is a little blurry.
Your body is slowly deteriorating.

Advice?

Those are minor negative mutations. You don't have to go out of your way to remove them.

waiwhat? deteriorating body isnt a problem? What do I do? drink potions of restore abilities once in a while?

[Nivim]

 The deterioration heals most of the time.

[Antioch]

The Air Elementalist guide with a view to eventually becoming a Lich haunter is quite interesting.  It's been going well (Air Elementalists seem quite strong) but... I've got an impossible to pass L:2.  One of the ones with 4 fecking Oklobs between me and the ways down.

wands of polymorph works great on Oklobs, they usually turn into wandering mushrooms.

Quick question: does having an amulet of clarity block the "You tend to lose your temper in combat" mutation?

I'd hope so, otherwise this SpEn is in serious trouble :/.

Yes.

The Air Elementalist guide with a view to eventually becoming a Lich haunter is quite interesting.  It's been going well (Air Elementalists seem quite strong) but... I've got an impossible to pass L:2.  One of the ones with 4 fecking Oklobs between me and the ways down.

wands of polymorph works great on Oklobs, they usually turn into wandering mushrooms.

Invisibility own Oklobs (and is more common than Poly). Particularly if you can run and gun with something like freezing cloud.

[Mr.Person]

I just strip down, fire off a Sticky Flame, walk out of view. This tends to kill Oklobs in one casting with no chance of corrosion.

Don't do this if spitting will kill you in one hit.

[Frumple]

Rawrgh. Surprising amount of RNG "kindness" with my latest character. DDNe, first weapon I see is a +1, +3 vampiric dwarven handaxe.

The question, though, is if the two gnoll packs that were sitting on D:1 make up for finding that thing. There was a third gnoll pack on D:2 and Jessica had a flame wand, so I'm hoping the RNG's decided it's taken its pound of flesh in cost already...

I doubt it's done making me pay for that windfall, though.

LATER: Yeah... items are being far too kind to me for this to end well. 9 tele scrolls, a +1 dwarven buckler, gauntlets, elven ring mail to let me go ahead and start training armor... this dude's either going to win or get simultaneously ganked by five different uniques soon.

a very common cause of death is becoming overconfident after finding a good item, many characters with bad gear actually survive longer

[Leafsnail]

I'm starting to quite like early groups of orcs and stuff (ogres, Pikel, Jessica).  I can now generally kill them, and it gives me a few extra xp levels for the first few floors.

[Frumple]

a very common cause of death is becoming overconfident after finding a good item, many characters with bad gear actually survive longer

Actually, death on D:11, from (an apparently hasted) Nessos's flaming poison arrows, who pretty much two/three-turn killed me, despite one of those turns involving blinking far away. One of those turns involved him shooting no less than three times The arrow that killed me did 26 damage.

I was dead the second Nessos saw me. Vamp draining and the axe didn't really matter, 'cause the single time I managed to close the distance, Nessos blinked away. Oh well.

[ChairmanPoo]

gah, my last transmuter vampire was fubared by the lack of a kiku temple in Ecumenical
