Madpoles... madpoles. Never, and I mean never, get anywhere near these abominations.

In one round, my level 24 dual-wielding-plastic-and-fullerite-armoured true human had his feet, right hand, and left arm dismembered. The next round they severed his right hand again.

[Mephansteras]

Ok, given the choice which ONE would you build?

Chainpistol
Combat Shotgun
Sniper rifle

I have basic skill in both pistols and rifles, but no higher skills. Str & Dex are 19 and 18 respectively, so I'm only going to be getting low level abilities in those trees regardless.

I currently have two revolvers, a pump shotgun, and a grenade launcher.

[Toaster]

Hm.  I'd take the sniper rifle for long range high-pen punch, but I'm a bit biased against pistols.  Seems like you have short range covered already.

Do you use the pistols or shotty more?  If the pistols, the rifle, but if you use the pump more, you might want the combat shotty as a boost to the common case.

[beorn080]

Chain pistols will TEAR through your lead slugs. Which is not specifically a bad thing, since they will kill almost anything really fast. Just something to be aware of.

I'd say the sniper rifle. You've got the pair of revolvers and a shotty already, the sniper rifle would be a nice long range punch. Could you deconstruct any of the gear you have to make more of what you listed? A pair of chain pistols with Akimbo for instance would pack an amazingly powerful punch.

[Mephansteras]

All of them need Pristine Electronics, and I only have one right now. And nothing to make sure I get more any time soon. Sounds like the Sniper rifle is my best choice. Thanks!

Saving a character summary seems to lock up the game for me.

Also, is being held by a jilted lover supposed to prevent teleportation?

[Mephansteras]

Bah. Was doing great with that character and then the game crashed when I tried to save. Ended up having to start over from a much earlier save and ended up dying before I'd reached where I was prior to the crash. *sigh*

Quills & Regeneration was a pretty awesome combination, though. Especially with double-hearted and a high toughness. I could just stand in the middle a swarms of enemies and let them die around my while I wailed on the nastiest one.

Turns out the combat shotgun would have been a better choice, since I ended up using my pump shotgun more than the sniper rifle.

Does that mean no more chest-stealing? Darn.

[Soulwynd]

Aw... But I think the auto-walk makes up for it.

Unormal, next do an auto-explore, similar to crawl stone soup. That would be awesome.

[Mephansteras]

Glad the iron dagger got fixed, that was bugging me. Does make me wonder what the advantage of using a short sword is, though, since daggers have the same stats and are lighter.

[EuchreJack]

Short swords should have greater penetration, because the blades are longer.

[Mephansteras]

Bug: A beetlebum consuming a girshling corpse counted as me picking it up for the quest.
