    Right now, the grind is boring, but with forced descent eventually the monsters are grinding @'s bones to make their bread! At least that's how it was for my attempts. I'm content to live vicariously through your run. Good luck!

      Does being overleveled hurt you in any way? Aside from the tedium of the level grind?

        If your stats get drained, then it takes longer to restore them. That's the only downside that I'm aware of.

          Obviously I wasn't precise enough in language when I used the word "overleveled". What I meant was that soon the level of Monsters would so far exceed the @ that nearly every encounter is dangerous. Yes, the early levels its a grind, but, unless @ gets lucky with some detection, ESP, and a good weapon, by about DL 50 my dwarf priest forced descent ironman @'s meet their demise.

            I can see what you mean by it suddenly turning very nasty. Anyways found ethereal openings on dlvl 46.

            dlvl 48 finally found rpoison & dlvl 49 telepathy from a gondolin whip.

              I am going a bit slower with my ironman Paladin. I am impressed how easily he took on the first 25 levels without any problems at all. And now with better weapon and free action I can probably push a bit more.
