          That's an impressive character. Surviving to dl 59 at cl 29 is impressive, especially for a warrior. (It's a bit easier for a Rogue, who has good stealth and detection, and adequate HP.) Though that rod of detection was a very nice find.

            Ahh, i can still remember it like it was yesterday. Risking life and limb to crack a vault that I have no business even standing outside of.

            Oh, wait. That was yesterday. I guess some people just never learn.

              I have struggled like all hel to get anything to survive into the cl20's this past week.

              Managed to get one there tonight. I reckon a hat that gives some See Invis and gloves or boots of FA would allow me to take the Flame weapon sitting in the home.

                Sell the Quarterstaff--it's almost identical to the other defender, with worse dice. You probably won't be using either one. Carry the main gauche as a swap weapon. You are struggling largely because you can't do damage.

                  The dice are close and IIRC quarterstaves are lighter than lucerne hammers. Contingent on the accuracy of that recollection the quarterstaff would get a third blow sooner as stats increase making it more attractive.

                  One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness interrupt the movie.

                    Righto, got the See Invis and FA covered now.

                    Trying to work out exactly what Telepathy from Thranduil gives me, because I'd love to drop the RoSeeInvis and get the RoDam+9 back on. And if I can get another source of FA then the other RoD goes on as well. I know that Telepathy only grants the ability to see what's in a small radius around you, but what does it detect? Does it only Detect Evil? What about non-Evil i.e. some animals/jellies? Is there any invisible stuff it wouldn't detect?

                    Just picked up the RoPerm, replacing the Dwarven +2 armour.

                      Telepathy actually covers quite a reasonable radius. It picks up anything with a 'normal mind'. Therefore you will detect most animals, but will not detect jellies. Similarly you will detect most undead (ghosts and the like), but you will not pick up Qs.

                        That's the downside to Dunadan. With SI and decent infravision, you can get by without SI for quite a while--until you start getting the really bad 'Q's

                            I know how you feel. From one of my character dumps:
                            Code:
                            > The Vampire lord points at you, screaming the word DIE!
                            > You die.
                            One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
                            In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

                              FWIW I'm finding it somewhat hader to find a decent weapon witht he changes the nightlies have had in regards to TMJ. But I am loving the extra ability to ID the weapons on wielding that I do find early on.

                                First time I've ever found the Quarterstaff of Eriril, free identify was handy to have for the short period of time before the fire bolt did me in. Averaged about 4K turns per dl, trying to drop taht down, but I think I spent too long on 650' before finding Eriril.
