Just found PDSM on DL12 with my hobbit ranger. I guess this makes up for not finding anything exciting in my last game.

Blimey, that *is* lucky."i can take this dracolich"Comment

Wow. Now all you need is enough strength and mana to use it. In any case, that is an unbelievable find, up there with A Plain Gold Ring in rarity, even at native depth.Comment

It's been fun running around with -4 speed, but I've actually nearly died, twice. I should probably chronicle my reckless exploits since finding it.

Bloody hell. I've not only never found PDSM, I've never found a Sling of Buckland. In 24 years of playing. WHYYYYYYY?I saw this in a recent ladder post (no-artifact game):
Power Dragon Scale Mail (Dwarven) (-3) [60,+42] <+2,+3>
and I found a similar thing today with Balance DSM (Dwarven) <+1,+2> but I didn't need it. Instead, I am amazed to have just found:
a Sling of Buckland (+18,+26) <+2,+4>
That is comparable to a Ranger with Bard, except for the unfortunate lack of Holy Might ammo. I didn't realize it was even possible to get +26 on Buckland.Comment

I play quite a lot, but until recently I've been fairly conservative about diving. I've never won, though I have made it all the way down a handful of times. Usually I die somewhere between DL35-45. So far my best luck has been with Dwarf Priests (not least because I can mine for gold and buy better gear in town).
I am really liking druids in the latest build. I have hopes.Comment

@gglibertine-
Have you tried a high stealth character? I suspect they are the easiest for learning to dive. Also helps to have full monster detection in a town book. Try a high-elf rogue. The massive EXP penalty just forces you to go deep to get experience, and the class/race combo makes you tough enough to survive in tight spots in the early game. (Later in the game, intrinsic stats matter less.)Comment
