- Thank god there are smilies after "tinning kit". Had me worried for a
- minute.
-
- The biggest weakness of wizards is their pathetic armor class. Therefore
- the best wish for a first level wizard has to be:
-
- "blessed +2 gray dragon scale mail"
-
- The other alternative is "blessed +2 speed boots".

- Well, I don't want to be picky, but I think nymphs are far too useful
- to genocide. Essential for removing balls and chains and cursed armor
- or weapons. Provide potions and mirrors. Give you teleport intrinsic.
- And going up a few XpLvls from Lvl 1 with wraith corpses is a sure way
- to a quick death if you aren't prepared for it.
