Ooh, riddle me this, is there a state after almost starving? or do you just die like you did?

[Azier_Mordan]

Almost starving, starving, dead.

I love mephitic cloud. It helped me kill Sigmund. At level 4!

[Kasofa1]

I've found those multiple times when I'm starting. Kinda odd to say the least.

-K

EDIT: I wonder if 'portal projectile' can go through glass walls?
EDIT2: Wow, major lag or double ninja'd!

As far as i can tell that's one of the big downsides of them. They are fast and awesome but their food issues are serious.

That said i've decided to stick with demonspawn assassin for now. Wand to paralysis is amazing in such an occasion and since i seem to do well with them i thought i'd stick with it.

Of course my last death came about because i used a scroll of curse weapon, which while it isn't initially that bad, when you desperately need to change to the imbuned bow of flaming(or whatever it was) so that the 4 ogres, 2 orc priests, and various other angry monsters don't mash you into a pulp you suddenly see the very obvious downside of being stuck with only a dagger.

Also my brothers playing now and likes wizard mummies. He loves mephitic cloud since he can just sit in it and beat on things.

Minotaur Fighter is pretty awesome for anyone who wants to focus on melee. Strong starting out, and has a chance for a headbutt attack when fighting. I didn't see a percentage chance on the wiki, but it seems like 25% of my attacks include a second headbutt attack. It's saved me several times when surrounded.

As far as i can tell that's one of the big downsides of them. They are fast and awesome but their food issues are serious.

...

Of course my last death came about because i used a scroll of curse weapon, which while it isn't initially that bad, when you desperately need to change to the imbuned bow of flaming(or whatever it was) so that the 4 ogres, 2 orc priests, and various other angry monsters don't mash you into a pulp you suddenly see the very obvious downside of being stuck with only a dagger.

Spriggans actually have no problem with food at all. They have slow metabolism 3. The only food trouble they have is they can't eat meat. The only reason I starved is I was wearing a unidentified ring of hunger.

...

I usually just throw daggers for my ranged attacks.

@JoshTigerHeart: Wow I think the characters I tried to kill had a higher score.

[Eji1700]

Cham:
Why the axe.
Why sif muna?

[JoshTigerheart]

Sif Muna is a good diety choice for magicians, probably where he got those nice spellbooks from.

[Chamrin]

What axe? only axe was the one the orc killed me with.

actually picked the spell books up before the temple, I literally died to the first monster outside the temple.

[Kasofa1]

Sif Muna give the ability, among other things, to forget spells and regain the 'levels' that you need to learn more spells.

[TwoADay]

If you want to play a fast game, go with a Troll Monk. They smack about everything (I killed Sigmund, Jessica and Iljud or whatever as a level 3-4) and food is no problem (you can eat every non poisonous thing, even if it's rotten).

I died only because I stopped looking at my HP. You tend to regenerate crazy fast, so it's easy to get careless.

[Eji1700]

Yeah so far my 3 most common killers are:
1. Ogres. I either have something ranged to deal with them, or i'm dead/running until dead. Assassin + ogre = no.

2. Centaurs: i've gotten a bit better on this. Usually if i can surrvive their arrows to get in close I can kill them.

3. Orc Priest: I hates me some smite.

I have yet to have a problem with centaurs. I guess I have been lucky - I find a corner to hide behind (there have usually been some nearby) and then wait until he comes around, then bash his head in. Same with the Priests.

I paralyzed myself trying to cast Invisibility. I've never been able to cast that spell.

[Chamrin]

My best run so far.

It makes me so angry when I die :(

I think I'm gonna try to mod in a new starting class (arcane archer), they're adding it in 0.6.0 anyway. I just want an early bow and spells.

[Eji1700]

I know what you mean cham. That said i've now become addicted to screwing with mutation so my goal is to run demonspawn something or other, acquire as many potions of mutation as i can, and possibly the alter self spell, and go nuts. I figure its a bonus if my character can still move when i'm done.

7168 | D:6 | You fall through a shaft!
7196 | D:9 | Slain by an unseen horror

Just entered lvl 6, fell into a trap to lvl 9 and got killed by some invisible thing right away.

Yeah they mention it in the wiki but i've yet to fall through so many floors.

[Kasofa1]

I still hate those invisible 'it's.
As in, you hit it, it hits you. It casts a spell, you resist.
