I've been experimenting with a variation on the Minotaur Staffmaster suggested by one of the Wiki's character guides - the guide uses a gladiator to start off with a quarterstaff (aiming to learn one Earth spell just to open the school, then maximize the beatstick potential of a staff of earth). Picked up my second ascension today, this time with 4 runes. On my Orb run up, I'm like "Ooh, a Pan Lord! Whew, I was afraid they'd sic more fire orbs on me!"īut. Orbs of Fire: even worse than advertised. I was in the rare instance of having a surplus of enchant scrolls and *nothing to use them on*, because everything I was using was either already a +2 accessory or a minor randart. I did *not* regret the deity switch before the Crypt.

And you've gifted me every type of weapon other than the ones I have skills for, and you can't even make it a painful twang of regret because they all still don't measure up to Rolandtr. No, Oka, I am not grateful for yet another 10 darts of frost. I credit probably 50% of the run to a lucky pickup of a +4/+11 morningstar of speed (which my brother and I dubbed "Rolandtr") I nabbed somewhere before the Lair, which Oka spent the entire game pathetically failing to compete with. (Gargoyle Fighter of Okawaru -> Shining One). After three years (I think) and countless shattered bodies, I was just messing around with a new copy of v0.13 and its new race (Gargoyle).
