Man, that MiBe has kinda lovely loot luck if he's at V5 without a cloak or a hat. At least Trog blessed him with an electrocutioner's axe.

So I discovered that if you max out invo for the title as a Cheibro, it comes with the bonus of Bend Time consistently working against the Hell Lords. Hope they like being slowed!

OpTm really isn't that bad early. Spiderform is an automatic source of the venom brand which is incredibly strong along with a huge boost to EV and decent unarmed damage, and Sticks to Snakes is very effective for swarming threats with adders. If you see a monster that you consider a threat? Bust out the snakes. Once you have Iceform readily available, you can use that to kill pretty much everything. Iceform and Bladehands should be enough to completely destroy everything in Lair, Orc, and the entirety of Dungeon.

The most popular choice for a transmuter is Cheibriados, beacuse his +15 to all stats has a tremendous impact on unarmed damage. Okawario's powers are solid, but you won't be able to make use of his gifts unless he gives you hats. Makhleb is versatile and strong because everyone loves hp on kills.

The biggest thing you need to remember is that you are playing a melee character with caster defenses. Play carefully.

I finally have a character I'd like to try and take to 15 runes, a naga warper of chei. I've never done hells, pan or crypt/tomb, what are the possible pitfalls of a movement delay of 2.8 in those places?

Like everyone said, if you move when in sight of hellfire/torment casters, you will take a tremendous amount of damage. As long as you are careful not to do so, you should be fine. Use a->b, scrolls of fog and tlocations to be able to close distance without getting murdered, or kill them without closing the distance with ranged attacks/spells.

Since Gastronok's flavor is that he ate a wizard to get magic, every game a random spellcaster unique should be selected to be his food, and then that unique will not show up in that game and Gastronok will have their spellset when you run into him
PDA is super crazy good and if you have 11+ strength I would almost certainly wear it on any character

If anyone says LCS is irresistable, that simply means that there is no rWhatever that applies to it. The only thing that reduces damage on a hit is AC, and it can be dodged/blocked.

This is all true, but even endgame I would probably prefer the Glaive. It's just more reliable at doing damage, scythe is a poo poo base weapon.

Scythes deal exactly as much damage as glaives, don't they? They just have higher delay.

I tried adding those flourishes, but I couldn't get anything satisfactory for I don't even remember how many months so I just sent those as is. I'd like to add the flourishes for the future but it will probably take some more time for me to get something that looks decent.

I am content with a statement that they will be added at some point.

My favourite vaults5 was getting blinked off the staircases by a distortion polearm guard then getting 6~ stacks of sentinels mark plastered on me before distortion guy teleported me into one of the vaults.

Then I spent a thousand turns killing the entirety of the level as they marched single file into the room I landed in. The vaults 5 entry is fun, anyone who disagrees is mistaken.
