What combo should I try tonight? Something not too obscure/hard, hopefully. And I like mage-types.
Ideas?

Try a draconian something if you wanna be original , it shoundn't be terribly hard to survive with the recommended backgrounds for anything that isn't a deep dwarf, spriggan, mummy, ghoul or draconian.

I guess its too late for me to join the crawl tournament. I just got my 3rd rune ever with a vampire transmuter, and it was on the decaying swamps.

In fact deep dwarves are pretty easy if you start with a class that starts with healing spells. Otherwise you have to rely on potions and wands a bit too much. Artificers work too.

[quinnr]

Eh what the heck.

sing your praises to the High Elf Venom Mage.

EAT MY STINGS!

[Dakk]

Good pick, venom mages are super early on due to mephitic cloud. Anything down to lair level (including it) should be piss easy. Just remember to diversify your magical skills since poison resistance is pretty common later on.

I should try air magic sometime, its the least resisted kind and very versatile overall. Ice magic is also good but undead resist it, and fire magic explodes everything but demons tend to be nigh invulnerable to it.

[quinnr]

Yup, will do.

Also, is it strange that I want to eat one of these now (choko):

Just to see how my adventure feels when eating them?

EDIT: Found 25 poisoned elven needles. Now I just need a blowgun! Racial bonus too.

[Dakk]

They're just like the description in stone soup, bland as hell 

I sorta wonder what sultanas taste like. That and honey combs. I have one or two friends who ate actual honeycombs before and they said its utterly delicious, me wants to try D:

I wanna try a melee guy now, maybe a berserker, I'm tired of my super hybrid combat mages, never played a full melee character before. I also never tried one that relies mainly on ranged weapons for damage, is it feasible?

[quinnr]

Aren't sultanas just grapes?

What about snozzcumbers?

EDIT: OH MY GOD THAT WAS CLOSE STUPID GHOST.

It wouldn't have been close if I remembered the wand of fire and the wand of draining I have though. Moo-ha-ha!

...Invisible things with mobs of non-invisible things make me sad.

You're free to join the Bay12 Immigrants team up until the 15th.

Psh, wands of fire and draning would barely dent it since he's undead. Also, thats why you try to fight mobs of orcs in a corridor and kill priests and wizards first , unless you have mephitic cloud of course.

I hate my ghosts because they usualy have  badass evil spells. I can barely take them on without silence or dispell undead. Sometimes I extract dungeon crawl all over again just to be free of them for a while since they have a tendency of showing up real early.

[quinnr]

...you do know that you can just delete the saves files, right?

[Mr.Person]

Ghosts aren't like other undead, they only have the resistances that the player had when they died. They don't naturally have rN+++ or rC+++ like other undead.

[Frumple]

Not a-bloody-gain...

Can anyone recommend strategy for what to do when every down stair's exit is surrounded with things that will kill you? I keep running into this problem.

Latest, ferex, had that I-gobbo and sigmund sitting at two of th'stairs into D:2, and things I had to run upstairs to escape a few times on the last one. D:3 was fairly tame, but D:4's got ~5 orcs and a priest on one stairs, something vicious on the second, and going down the third had me run into a pack of literally a dozen jackels/gnolls, with a couple of ogres thrown in for good measure. Really, RNG? Really? I'm only level freaking four here!

I've been trying to draw some up stairs occasionally, waiting when I can to hope the numbers spread out a bit, but a good half-dozen morgue files says it's not working very well.

[quinnr]

You kill them before they kill you.

If you had any scrolls of blinky, you could jump to the stairs after luring them a bit away.
