- Following your defensive line of thinking, I would wish for the ring of
- conflict or shield of reflection first, then ring of levitation for
- wizards. The athame trick is not of much use against #breath-ing monsters
- (even gazing monsters) without either reflection or conflict.
-
- Then again, in this game what use is an athame if you have conflict? We
- gotta make conflict weaker... It's far too powerful.
