Anomaly is a treasure trove of exp and currency which helps a lot if you can clear it, but you should definitely skip it if your party has trouble with Fotia or Aeras packs. But you can usually just walk away from them.

I've been playing DCSS and that's what it feels like senpai. I like it but it seems like 90% of my deaths are from not paying attention because I've been playing for a while. Is there any strategy to the fighting other than coming up with efficient builds?

Smaug is only seriously a problem for characters on a low period of consumables and/or ones that rely on bolt spell damage for a long time (especially as he sometimes is the one who drops their next good non-bolt damage spell spell in book 3!)
>>
>>144486279
weaponmastery is "it increases the damage dice of your melee weapon" effect

the craft buffs are all very strong, it's just hard to keep buffed especially if your mana pool is non-mage (and doubly so when you're a melee character and in the thick of it so you have to phase buff1 buff2 buff3 quaff re-engage type of thing). Craft has very good spells but many of the best ones are buffs.

>>144487958
Those "90% of deaths" are because you're NOT applying critical thinking in combat, most likely.
The next time you see yourself get into a tight situation, stop. Quit hitting buttons. Think about your options, your consumables, your surroundings.
>>
>>144486846
You can't even grind in DCSS until postend, where its largely useless and somewhat forced due to how awful pan is. Player skill is important for getting through the early game, and a big part of that is knowing how to make an efficient build with what you have. It can be as simple as a mummy fighting who drops shields and gets a smaller investment in M&F so he can use a +0 dire flail to kill the yaks instead of trying to get a great mace right away. Do the best with what you have.

Where are the caaws when you need them?
>>
Hey guys, just started playing DCSS again, I'm playing a merfolk gladiator of Maklehb (Can't remember the damn acronyms or be bothered to look them up.) named Aquaman. I'm pretending the demons are just really evil fish, you see.

I've got 7 runes so far, including abyss, slime pits, cocytus, and tartarus. I'm almost finished with Dis... I've cleared to the boss room and I'm pretty sure I can take him without any problems.

Where should I go after that? I've been mucking about in the abyss, I've got I've got some pretty sweet gear, including some pearl dragon armor I bought at a bazaar, but my main problem is I have no particularly compelling f+ gear. I've got some +5 fairy dragon armor, but I like having 35 37 32 on a merman. I haven't done Zot yet because I'm still butthurt about having my Link run ended by an orb of fire on my way up a staircase, so I want to go prepared. (I have scrolls of fog and blink stockpiled this time just in case.)

Some details, I have 27 in polearms, dodging, and fighting. Been training shields since I finally dropped my trusty +7 contaminated halberd, it's up to 22 and I'm using a large one with +5 slaying and +3 strength. Armor at 14, stealth at 13, and invocations at 19.

I've got some necromancy, and my transmutation is almost high enough to safely use necromutation when wearing my ring of the magi. (And statue form if I train earth up a little.)

I have a +7 demon trident of piercing, and a big pile of syches with various brands sitting in a pile in the vesti. I've also got some transmutation books, and could easily cast dragon or hydra form if I trained my unarmed.

So where to? Use the fairy armor, maybe settle for r++ or crappy rings in gehenna and zot?

Should I keep training Necromancy, learn hydra-fu, or shore up my core competencies?

I haven't played stone soup in 2 years. What class/race should I go for my return?

>>144488330
Merfolk Gladiator of QAZLOUD. Hit 14 polearms and 20 ev before lair, and hit 20 invocations by the time you leave lair:8. Explode the whole dungeon from there.

>>144488279
You can easily take on zot and abyss, and if you want to go for the full 15, you're more than ready to jump into pan. Post a dump so we can see your stats more efficiently please.
>>
>>144487958
the parts where you died were the parts that needed more critical thinking
>>
>>144487958
When you're good at DCSS the main challenge is to not get bored and do something stupid. Since the game is designed to be almost 100% beatable when you play well, a good player knows what to do to win and the only challenge is executing the tactics correctly for a few hours, which gets boring.

But the combat is not that simple, especially for a not-good player.

It's up to you to decide if you're good enough that a death was from boredom or from being bad and blaming it on boredom.
>>
>>144488143

But the thinking is so easy. I always die to getting myself into more than I can handle, if I just spent more time grinding or didn't explore so quickly I wouldn't have died. I just get bored/overconfident and that's always what kills me.

Also, should I be killing everything before moving to the next level of the dungeon? That's what I've been doing but idk if that's even necessary (for the XP).
>>
>>144486258

>>144488932
You don't have to kill all the dudes. And grinding literally isn't a thing due to a few factors. 1 is the deeper you go, the more experience you gain from killing enemies. Clearing all of dungeon 1-5 does not compare to later when you start getting the exp heavy enemies like yaks. 2 is that if you stay too long on a floor, it will start spawning heavily out of depth enemies that WILL fuck you. 3 is that outside of these OoD spawns, normal enemies will not respawn. You literally have to keep diving to see more enemies that won't wreck you. Most of the early game is knowing how to run, how to pull enemies away from groups, how to gauge your strength vs. the enemy and which enemies you just don't engage.

You definitely want 2 pips of rF, 1 minimum. You can scoot by just barely with 1, but Cerebov and Asmodeus will tear you a new one. You'll want to swap around some jewelry and armour to see if you can fill your resist hole.

I could use it though, I'm not lying. Is there any way to get around this?

If I already had a lot of piety would I not notice if the God was mad from my necromancy?
>>
>>144491652

I've got 2 rings of fire and the faerie dragon armor. (which is +7, I was wrong.)

Looks like my AC would go down 7 points to 28, and my EV would go up 3, I could put on a ring and be safe from fire, but I'm a bit worried about pointy objects. Guess I should let my fish do the fighting against the tough ones.

Other than some inferior body armors, that's it.
>>
>>144492003
Well first of all it would stop you every time you cast it with "are you REALLY sure you want to piss your god off senpai?"
Doing so invokes penance, which you WOULD notice because Fedhas starts throwing elemental magic miscasts and hostile plants at you. The amulet of faith just makes him dole out your punishments sooner.

So yeah, something doesn't add up here.

I guess that's what I get for not bothering to get a fairy right before my final encounter. I had a pretty good feeling about this run. I found quite a lot of credits on the first three floors and I died on the fourth. However, I had very few items collected; I think I only found one heal gem and it was a wasted one when I used it.

I started with a slime but it died rather early on.
Even though the Raicho that spawned with Vikhor had the holy modification they weren't too hard to kill before they could do massive damage, even with all the light-weak party members (my character was light-resistant). I managed to chase him back into a dead end of the floor that I had already explored which made him easy to link to. I had enough credits to probably do another fusion at the time of death but I wasn't sure what I'd want.

How. I can never catch the stupid tsundere tornado loli.
>>
>>144494907
Try your best to chase him in explored territory, and of course you need to kill the raicho he spawns with VERY QUICKLY.

On note of the Freybug, I fused it with a will o' wisp because I found the solid will o' wisp so I figured it could have been a nice candidate to give some dark abilities and resistance. I've found that while it is expensive, fusing demons can have some lovely results.
>>
>>144495057
Is fusing strong enough? Because I was gonna suggest on the forums that fusing should give you a limited selection of abilities to choose for your demon instead of two random ones.
>>
>>144493401
That's a good question. They are allowed to constrict with their tails, so they obviously play a combat role. It's not like giving them a tailspike for BA would be overpowered.
>>
>>144495376
I think it's done randomized so that you could gain abilities you did not have access to before. It's definitely a risky investment, but you gotta keep in mind that some modifiers can potentially modify a demon better than others. I once fused my echeneis with a zombie and it got some nice body-type attacks as a result, making it a great frontline fighter for all my run. Also, don't forget about the resistances that could be gained if they're a part of the modifier, which can be really good. I don't think you can fuse demons that have contradicting weaknesses and resistances, though, like you can't have a charged (electric) echeneis.

nah it's faster with 555 but more of a game without it
but I feel like the pacing of depths and drops is very important and intentional. You get these nice small finds that matter for now, with occasional spike mid-or-long term finds too., instead of jumping immediately to the post level 50 behavior of autodestroying 99% of the eighty billion items you're generating per second while using recall and clairvoyance abuse to hunt for vaults on angband 99

and then you save being able to ACTUALLY adventure the 555 and 666 dungeon areas once you kill the Serpent too.

Random is fine, you're already allowed to select what type of abilities you get by selecting the modifier. If you didn't already know, you can view the pool of abilities you get by right clicking on the modifier label.

Also big dice rolls are what makes roguelikes fun. And if you're allowed to directly pick two abilities, most people would probably end up just picking the best ones every time
>>
>>144497686
oh right I guess it is pretty heavy but even so...I dunno. Maybe just sell the dragon armor I guess, but it's not so common. Most characters get one from ... arena? A quest? Something guaranteed usually, not sure if monks get that there or not.

In PCB as a dwarf life pala, beetween a 30 AC armor or a 17 AC with my only source of fear resistance, wich one should i choose?
My only experience without that resistance was fighting the Minotaur when i changed to a higher AC armor, expecting a physical fight. Obviously i almost died from panic because i didn't consider it, but maybe if im aware of it its not much of a problem, what do you guys say?
>>
>>144500048
how are you up to the minotaur without having found a single good armor with elemental resists and shit?
>>
>>144500221
Both armors have basic elemental resistance, so i took them out of the equation.
>>
>>144500048
also you can deal with fear using heroism or boldness potions
>>
>>144500048
what realm are you? crusade gets Heroism very early on, which gives some +temphp, some +accuracy, and 1xrFear. You can also buy potions of heroism in town at the temple. Boldness might also stock, it's more powerful at anti-fear but doesn't have the other small buffs of heroism.

Berserk makes you immune to fear, as does the book 3 death buff spell Battle Frenzy (if you're that kind of cleric)

I'd take the AC for now, and manage fear by not taking tons of damage or using consumables or a spell
>>
>>144500308

The thing is that there are a lot of people thatsavescum PCB.
Some people can't let go. You play a dude for thirty hours just to get to level 30, then you die to a double mana ball or a failed teleport, not even when you're halfway through the serpent.

Grinding game breed savescummers. Like Elona for example.
There were tons of people who admitted savescumming to get better mutations in elona.
Not our dicku, though. He remained pure.

I already gave you the citations. I'm not trying to convince anyone here, I'm just saying what I think. There's people who play Elona/Pcb and don't savescum, there's people who do. It's not a rule.

And really, there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, they are doing it to themselves. Nothing would ever beat the feeling of having your win in the OP and knowing that *you* savescummed it, like >>144484414.

The worst punishment we could ever think of for a savescummer is putting his achievement in the OP and cheer him on forever, so that every time he thinks about it, he'll remember that his win was hollow.

At least, my MuMo win was online.

I tried to get the basics first.
9 invo
10 evo
9 shield
20 for the axe
Small focus on fighting and armor.
After I get that 20 on the axe, I'll punch it on armor and fighting.
>>
Woops oaky I misread that

Also, no curemute.

So, should I enter or not? I have no experience with this area yet.

>>144511872
>deformed
That's why I said quaff !CMut.
You don't need any more invo for Oka, nor any fighting for a long while.
As soon as axes hits 20, get 10 dodging, right away.
Every ~1.6 levels of armour gives you 1 AC once you cure your mut, otherwise every 2.75 levels, so train it accordingly.
>>
>>144511872
If your delay is good, you can put off getting more axes for more important things. Like EV above 20. A big part of mummy fighters is getting like .8-.9 delay on a great club and ignoring M&F for like 2 rune branches because not dying is more important. Enough killdudes and enough not dying to dudes >>> more killdudes and ded to dudes. Magic portals can be pretty dangerous, but its usually worth checking them out. Make sure you have !resist before jumping in though.

Yeah. But there have been plenty of times where Ashen/Veh/Chei have helped me cast endless tornados while shattering, or Makleb was already feeding me HP/MP. TSO is the obvious choice much like Trog/Oka are the obvious choices for early game, but there are other gods.

>>144513580
Ash in extended loses half of her attraction. She becomes marginally useful for clarity/sInv (well I guess clarity is a bigger deal now that they removed the amulet) and completely useless for skill enhancement since you have a bounty of XP, equipment you want to swap out, and often a source of sInv. Her biggest attraction is her passive magic mapping, but you usually have some magic mapping scrolls saved for boss pan/hell floors anyways.

Vehumet in endgame gives you nothing but MP and spellpower.

Makhleb in endgame gives you nothing important except for HP on kill.

TSO gives you a myriad of these things, MP on kill, HP on kill, sInv, a holy weapon of choice, a spammable demon/undead killer, and some battle buffs. It would be very difficult to argue that TSO is not specifically suited for extended game and is not preferable over most other gods for extended game.
>>
>>144514187
Vehumet also gives increased range on spells, which I feel is the biggest thing.
>>
>>144514187
SInv is not a value point of TSO by your own logic.
Also if you're following Ash/Veh/Chei and casting level 9 conjurations then you don't need the battle buff or cleansing flame and as such TSO offers only HP on kill, MP on kill, and rN+++.
Like anon said, he is designed to be the god of the postendgame, but he is like the Oka/Trog of postend. He's great, he's east, but there are other gods.
>>
Are migcal items in poschengband marked in any way?
>>
>>144514187
What I'm saying is that these gods offer things that TSO doesn't. It isn't to say that TSO isn't "optimal" for postend, its just that he is optimal in much the same way that Trog is for 3 rune. If you take Chei or Ashen in the early dungeon, you don't ever want to swap really. Not only does it fuck up your skilling, (ashen bros.don't go above 22, which is a HUGE advantage in Pan/Hell since you get shatter/tornado online super fast, and Chei bros. can't cast without their roids), but their wrath is kind of shitty and you don't have a real reason to do so. Ashen offers tablords easy haste and other spells, Chei just offers raw power, Veh lets you cast big spells easier and you get increased range. So on and so forth. Not everyone wants to tab or holy hand grenade at point blank, and you have no real reason to if you can literally tornado/shatter repeatedly.
>>
>>144514883
Migcals are too powerful to be afflicted by human-readable markings.
>>
>>144515180
What then, pick up every item and carry it until there is a hint?!
>>
>>144514832
>>144514693
>>144514907

You can certainly go other gods for postend, you can even go godless, so this isn't about what's feasible. I'm arguing against the statement

>Honestly, TSO isn't even the best god for a lot of characters. The free rN+++ is nice, but if you can muster up another source of rN, you'd rather have someone else.

If you were forced to pick a god for a random character to go through extended game with, TSO would be a top choice even if she didn't offer rN+++, contending with Makhleb and Zin.
>>
>>144515629
Well. TSO isn't the best god for a lot of characters. He's a tablord god. You don't get his full benefits as a caster master and rN+++ can be gotten elsewhere.
>>
VSTm yes/no?
>>
>>144515629
Yeah, no shit. Just like if you were going to pick a god for a random character, you'd pick trog. However, you do not player random characters. Nearly every character is planned from the start. If you're a GrEE or DeFe or SpEn, you probably want someone with a little more oomph. You can go Kiku -> Ashen, grab necromutation and do other shit because you can respec and need really low requirements to cast big things. The second you have statue form or necromutation, (or if you're just a gargoyle or dude with inherent rN or lots of rN anyway), TSO starts to look pretty bad. Its more of a matter of "why would I hit them when I could be a tornado?"

So I'm playing that merfolk of Qazlal. Made it to lair, and did a few floors of that, go back to my stash on L:1 to drop some shit off and read id some scrolls. Had a scroll of acquirement, had no idea what to use it on so I went with the "always acquire armor" meme. Got fucking boots off the assassin. I have never gotten these before, so of course it gives them to me on the one character that can't make use of them. Fuck this gay dungeon.
>>
>>144516919
That's because that meme is wrong.

The correct meme is "always aquire wand", not armour.

>>144516919
You know you still get confuse stabs and distract stabs right?
>>
>>144516919
The ironic thing about
ALWAYS
ACQUIRE
ARMOUR
is that while its aiming you towards the wrong path, it actually points you towards the most optimal acquirement if you really do acquire a.

Weapon (if shit weapon) > Rod (if no magic) > wand > armour (especially if naga/centaur) > jewelry

Armor is typically one of the worst things you can acquire since even a good piece of armor will be somewhat low impact compared to a good weapon/rod/wand. 'a'lways 'a'cquire 'a'rmour implies that by mashing the shit out of a, you'll acquire armour. When really you'll get a weapon.

Demigods are something like 220%-250% or something so make them like 150%-180%.

Just guidelines but in my opinion anything over 200% just forces some more useless grinding.

Qud autoexplore is dumb and doesn't stop when ranged attacks miss you because they don't print a message in the log

so if you autoexplore you might have a turret or seed-spitting vine miss you 3-5 times before it actually hits you and interrupts the autoexplore, at which point you're 5 tiles out from cover

which is absolutely the same as saying capital l
see the difference there? No. Because in the first I used a capital I and in the second a lowercase L.

Reminder that MPA-PCB 4.0.2 does not have wands of cloning or 555.
This was only implied by Chris in his 4.0.2 release post as a jab at mpa-pcb which he feels is munchkin-y.
Imagine the horror he'd feel if he saw someone playing a 150% Demigod 120% Rune Knight.

Varying amounts.

Edited the me.exp variable in the race definitions. Really not that hard.

I did not touch androids due to a lack of understanding of how their whole system really works. Their me.exp is 200 by default though, comparable to half-titans.

What's a good Roguelike that allows you to do a bunch of weird-ass shit? Like, instead of playing a simple auto-explore-faceram warrior or a 'blast-everything-and-run-away' mage, some kind of weird character that assembles golems out of equipment, or rearranges the environment to his own needs, or whatever?

I'm aware of Poschengband and it's Ring stuff, as well as ToME with the chronomancer stuff (which I LOVE), but I'm looking for other roguelikes like that.
>>
>>144546257
Demon
>>
>>144546150
yeah,
that's because feanor is worth about two millions and is the best artifact in the whole game.

The fact you didn't get to anything past 41 is a clear example of the huge xp gap there. You need around 2 million $$$ to get to level 40 and one million more, each time, to get to next level.
Actually, it's not really *that* linear.It's more like 19 Million $$$ of gear to get to level 50, which means you gotta be wearing dor-lomin with [mind], a power dragon scale mail with [immortality] or and lots of other really good gear.
Andorids are kind of a drag past level 40 without cloning and 555.
>>
>>144546257
>Chronomancer

I really want a roguelike that does more chronomancery stuff. Like rewinding time to back before X monster was killed by Y monster, and poisoning X monster so that Y ends up dying to poison.

so you want a prince of persia roguelike?

You can still wilderness scum in 4.0.2 for good early game stuff, you know.

Using a staff of summoning outside dragon's lair entrance (level 60, and no sense going anywhere higher since the 555 fix caps it at 60) has produced:

Victory!
What I learned today that relying on nothing but bows as your offensive weapon will never get you to 15 runes. I wasnt brave enough to go into Vaults 5, since i never found the portal projectile spell. I cleared all of Hell excpet for Cocytus, not for lack of trying, but for lack of arrows. I lost 500 arrows in cocytus and when i was at 200 failing to fight the boss, I just had to leave, if i had had lost 70 more arrows on that fight,i would have run out during some tighter moments in Z5. And holy shit Lichform is so fucking good.
Have a nice day everyone.

Hep is a cool god. Allies done right. The knight spec was more useful than the hexer spec for me. The tankiness of the knight really matters, and his damage is good.

The hexer died too easily in certain parts of the game and wasn't as impactful. Not horrible though, just not as good.

I want to worship Lugonu but she doesn't give out any powers that I really like.

I always enjoyed being forced to worship her to get out of the Abyss back when altars to her were common in there but portals out were rare, but now it's the other way around and that entire dynamic is gone.

Or maybe I'm remembering it wrong.
>>
>>144578974
probably don't get strength, ninjas have a huge penalty to the number of blows they get from str

and no ninjas aren't that weak early on, and you have enough escape/teleportation spells that it's really your fault if you die to a dark elven mage or whatever

The rows count up, starting from the number indicated in the comment up to the next row's comment-1. So the first value in the row labeled Norm corresponds to speed 0, then 1, then 2... up to speed 9, then the next row begins with speed 10 and continues.

What exactly does a +1 do for weapons on DCSS? Is it extra accuracy? Damage? Both?
>>
>>144582393
it is one more
>>
>>144582493
it's not even 1 more damage

well it is if it's exactly +1
but a +9 weapon randomly adds 1-9 damage to each hit.
>>
>>144582734
So it's extra damage potential?
>>
>>144582393
The plusses mean you get an extra 1d(plus) for your damage roll and a 1d(plus) to the to-hit roll.
>>
but also remember that a 6-base-damage weapon with +9 does less damage than a 15-damage weapon, because the base damage is increased by your strength, fighting, and weapon skill

What would be a better choice then? It's +8, has pierce brand and +fly, and is the only artifact polearm I've come across. There was a couple of decent looking options in shoals, like a demon trident of electrocution and a vampiric halberd, but I figured the one I have was better.

demon trident of elec is good if you wana use shields and is probably better then the halberd. even with the vamp brand (which is really good up till endgame, read anything after zot)

I see. Well, I have choice between that demon trident of elec which is +1, a demon trident of flaming, the vampiric halberd, and two glowing glaives, a glowing scythe, and a glowing halberd that are in a shop in Orc:2.

>>144590416
Yeah I understand that not everything that's an artifact is instantly good. The reason I'm hesitant to drop this thing is the +8 enchantment on it. But I guess I'd be better off enchanting a demon trident then at this point.

I'm the Merfolk guy from earlier. I grabbed both of the demon tridents, and the flaming one turned out to be a +4 so I've been using that one and swapping to the elec one whenever something that resists fire comes along that doesn't resist elec. I just came across a scroll of acquirement and acquired a weapon hoping for a good randart, and got this. Is it worth using? Or should I stick with the demon tridents?
>>
>>144595545
The glyph for (one of) the most powerful non-unique enemies in the game is shared by a squishy level 40 monster whose only real strength is a strong breath attack.
Welcome to Poschengband ASCII.
>>
>>144596034
Which ones? So I can at least keep an eye out somewhat.
>>
>>144595983
It's alright. Demon trident might be better cause you can use a shield with it
>>
>>144596191
Oh right I forgot scythes are two-handed. I been using shields so I guess I'll stick with the demon trident for now.

Also, I have a scroll of brand weapon I dunno what to do with. I'm tempted to use it on the flame trident but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Should I do it, or save it for something else?
>>
>>144595958
It's not a speed boost per-se, it reduces the energy used by moving. It is substantial enough that you should use it very often.

>>144596183
It's not just one. There are many such double(triple/quadruple/quintuple)-glyphs. This example is Great Wyrms of Power and Ancient Gold Dragons.
>>
>>144596493
I'd go for it, flaming isnt all that great. Demon tridents arent terribly rare later on either so if it's a dud it's alright
>>
>>144596560
At least great wyrms of power reveal themselves by being mega spooky.

Now, kavlax on the other hand, I've bumbled into more times than I'd like to admit.

Also dont know if you're planning on giving extended a try, but if you are switching to TSO can make the trident into a trishula which is very strong
>>
>>144595958
it only makes you faster at walking, not anything else

the bonus depends on level but it an make you up to ~80% faster (taking 0.6x the normal amount of time to move)

I did guys! This time I played a lot safer but kept with the iron spike spam. It took a few minutes but it's better than dying and starting over. Quick walk is really useful for lining him up at range.

It's definitely worse on more benign levels. My least favourite is Phantom Warriors, a level 8 monster with 5-25 HP, 10 AC and 2-24 damage a round, compared with Phantom Beasts, who (on the same glyph), are level 24 monsters with 40 AC, 144 HP, and up to 132 damage a round. They can both appear easily in places such as Orc:15.

>>144597307
>It took a few minutes but it's better than dying and starting over.
There, good.
I hope you can stop ending fights at 26 HP now.

>>144596906
Is TSO much better than Qaz? I know TSO is the go-to choice for extended, but I'm following an anon's guide from last night, and he talked like Qaz's Disaster Area ability could handle extended easily enough.

>>144597058
My brand scroll turned the flaming trident into pierce, how does pierce stack up against elec? I also dumped all my enchant scrolls onto the newly branded pierce trident so now it's a +8.
>>
>>144597660
I'm that anon who told you how to Qaz. He is super shit for extended. Being loud isn't a good thing. Swap to TSO if you want extended so you don't waste your 27 invocations. Or Zin.
>>
>>144597660
Pierce is good vs electric resistant enemies. Better brand than flaming and freezing imo.
>>
>>144597660
Piercing is better than flaming, so that's good. I prefer it over elec as well.

Qaz is really good, but what he excels at is killing large groups and being loud, which can get you killed in extended. However, if you feel like clearing a zig he's a solid choice.
TSO allows you to brand your demon trident making it the most potent 1h polearm in the extended. He also gives you health/MP back on kill and allies and cleansing flame spam.
He also lets you switch to Zin (if you are so inclined) without incurring penance, in fact most of your piety crosses to Zin. Zin protects you from mutation so you can clear Zot 5 and pan no problemo! He's got super excellent abilities too (Spam recite and vit and win). But I'd use TSO to clear tomb and hell first.

Ah, alrighty. So when exactly do I want to swap to TSO? And if I decide to go Zin later on when's the best time to do that, just before I do pan/zot5?

I've never won a game yet. Am I insane for trying to make my first win a 15 rune?

+4 pval too. Not bad for early game.
>>
>>144598615
Use Qaz's power to clear vaults, your two rune branches and slime. He'll let you overpower anyone in an open area and makes a god damned joke out of zot lungs, V:$ and the royal jelly. Once you've cleared zot to 5 and have your 4 runes, you'll want to swap to TSO (or Zin) and clear the crypt. It'll get you to max piety and probably mollify Qaz. If you go Zin, you can clear abyss and pan without turning into a walking cancer. TSO will let you go into maximum overdiesel and bless your weapon for a HUGE damage boost. Up to you who to pickup first. Make sure to pickup some stealth after the switch to make abyss/pan more bearable.
>>
>>144598615
>>144599094
Oh and there is no shame in winning with just 3 runes. The turbo diesel merfolk gladiator of Qaz build is kind of meant for that. If you don't feel ready for extended, by all means just win.

>>144599778
TSO's halo is bretty gud in the early game, and summoning angels isn't the worst. Probably zin though, you can do the same basic build as the qaz merfolk. Just spam the shit out of his preach ability and vitalize when you fight dangerous stuff. Have fun being hungry though.
