- It's tough to figure out just how tough a simple Warrior needs to be
- to think about tackling Mr. B. Str and Dex at 18/00
- I get 4 blows per round with both my
- Battle Axe (European) (HA) (3d4) (+11,+12) [+3] (+2 to Str)
- and the
- Broadsword (DF) (2d5) (+10,+10) [+7] (+3 to Stealth)
-
- My armor's (RF) and my shield's (R). Total AC is 84 with the HA.
- I've got Amulet of the Magi, Ring of Speed (+1) and Gaultlets of Free Action.
- Other ring is Ring of Lordly Protection (COLD) [+5]
- and I'm carrying a Ring of Lordly Protection (FIRE) [+5]
-
- I'm running around on level 46 but only have 2 potions of Invulnerability
- and 1 Haste Self (used the latter up on Emperor Liches).
- Wands and staffs are: Acid Balls, Cold Balls, Lightning Ball, Fire Bolt,
- Teleportation and Speed (16 charges).
- Are Resist Heat potions worth carrying around? Only have 2.
-
- Do I need to run around on level 1, 2 and 3 for a while and get more Haste
- Self potions?
- I can hand-to-hand with Ancient Dragons with no trouble
- (even killed 2 AMHDs when they decided not to poison me).
