WIP Blackguard 4.2.1

[Sky]

new character, Dunedain Blackguard, 8pts STR, 8pts DEX, 4pts CON.

DL1 - found a spear of venom +1,+5, killed Grip, CL4 59hp

DL2 - find a obvioulsy-cursed cloak, +0 {??}
Nick, make cursed items be at least +1, this was we cannot immediately tell if something is cursed. Please?

[Sky]

DL3 - kill some insects, CL6 94hp (wow)
hmm .. i have 0sp.

i knew that this was a thing but i'm not sure what use are detection spells if i can only cast them after a battle.

DL4 - CL7 97hp
(crap .. d19, CON 18/10 and i roll a 1 ..)

DL5 - CL8 109hp
CL9 (orcs) 119hp
CL10 (ants and scouts) 137hp
i try to kill wormtongue but he mocks me
CL11 (scouts) 151hp
i recall because my pack is full

[Sky]

i sneak a last kill of Fang before the recall kicks in.
in town, i kill Maggot with Leap Into Battle (finally something useful to kill that guy). This character is evil, make no mistake.
Nothing useful in town. I id !Spd but not much else.

DL7 - Bullroarer, drops a measly sling +2,+2
I fight an annoying pseudodrago who keep running and i Leap and i think i'm gonna keybind this spell. CL12 155hp.

DL8 - i manage to survive a tiger pounce attack, get my STR drained by a red naga (happens once every millennium) but regain it right back, CL13 163hp.

i find Wormtongue and test a wand on him; it's confuse monsters, which actually makes him icebolt a nearby soldier (lol), he dies and drops a dagger of venom +7,+12 !!
I notice that with this, i do 31 damage melee, and 87 damage thrown; surely that's not right?

i find a lantern.i find a weird corridor ending in nothing and i test Shatter Stone; giving a low level warrior a digiging spell seems a bit OP, but i'll take it - i hate not being able to dig into vaults.

DL9 - nothing

DL10 - i notice that the harpy has a new tile (so do the mice), and it's ugly.
CL14, 170hp. Helm of Infravision +3 (poison curse).

DL11 - webs.

DL12 - i am getting my STR drained way too often, i need a nice ring of STR.
CL15, 188hp. i kill a tengu and some random mobs, and one of the "new" snakes breathes a ton of poison at me. Fortunately, the damage is low so even with stack i survive it without problem. CL16 198hp.
DL14 - pseudodragon, fear, use Berserk Strength. I like it.

DL15 - i kill a bunch of ogres and run away from a group of old forest trees (mobs that cast confuse are not a good target at this depth). My pack is full so i recall, CL17 206hp.

[Sky]

no rings of STR in the BM. I buy book2 (1600 gold) and practice Maim Foe against a mercenary - it's basically Stun Monsters.

DL15, i mee Brodda, The Easterling and the fight is 50/50 until i land my shield bash, after which he stops doing damage.

DL16 - ring of Ice, CL18, 221hp. I'm getting the feeling that mobs shoot a lot more?

DL17 - first umber hulk, costs me a bunch of CLW; i get blinded often by other mobs, not a great saving throw with WIS 9. Kill some wargs and hit CL19 234hp. I accidentally id Deep Descent ..

DL22 - LF 5-3
my pack is full so i recall.

somewhere along the road i picked up a wand that turns out to be TO !!

i observe that the book2 i paid 1600 gold for, can be destroyed by fire ... sigh.

DL22 - a wyvern makes me burn all my CLW .. i clearly am NOT a warrior, as i miss most of my blows; once again, only shield bash saves me.

i wander some more and find myself into deep trouble; Azog and Grishnak.
I plan to run away, but cannot find a single turn to Recall. I quaff !Spd and run, then realize with Spd i can kill them - not. I TO Azog and kill Grishnak, and a whole bunch of other mobs, but after a long battle i burned through all my phase, 12 CSW, 4 CCW, and all i have to show for it is CL21 and 251hp.

recall. BM has a potion of Strength but im 13k short. I buy 20 CLW and 1 CSW, which means i'll have to be careful, because that is very little healing for DL22. I invest a thousand gold in a sling of power.

DL22 - lasts very little. I find both Kim and his sons charging at me and i bail.
DL23 - even more disastrous; tons of tarantulas, fire hounds, giant fruit flies and even a tiger assault me at the same time, not even if i had Aggravation. Recall, and i might climb back a few levels. CL22 258hp.

DL23 - i last a little longer but eventually i have to bail again, as Azog shows up to double-team me when im fighting Nar, The Dwarf.

nothing useful in town.

[Sky]

stuck on DL23 .. i kill some basic mobs, one 2-headed hydra (easily), and then Bolg, Son of Azog pushes me out.
I find a ring of Escaping, now only +2 Spd (makes a ring of Teleportation more useful as it has the same bonus but no Cowardice) and sells for much less.

again i find myself in too difficult situations and i climb back to DL22, hoping to settle on DL20. I notice that my shield bashes now can Confuse monsters.

somewhere along the road i hit CL23 and 263hp.

DL22 - i kill Gorbag and get nothing. Im out of potions. CL24 277hp. I seem to be gaining an awful lot of levels for a Dunedain.

DL21 - LF 6-8 !!

i kill a whooooooole bunch of half orcs, however this cuts me down to 1 Spd, 7 CLW, 2 CCW. I still have a few charges of TO though. .. erm ... FIVE CLW and 1 CCW. A tiger and a couple of illusionists occasionally paralizing me.

I drink an un-id potion (LF8 means there could be an Experience of Augmentatio somewhere, and i dont want to sell it) and it's Brawn, 18 STR (18/30) and lose 1 DEX to 16 (18).

i spot a demi-vault. and kill Shagrat, CL25 280hp. I do however consume ALL my potions.
It's not a vault .. it's a pit. A pit of tengu. I might be dead, but i'll cast Recall.

[Sky]

bloody gizzards!

i live, but nothing to buy in town. 6 CSW and 25 CLW, some more phase, but no FA, no STR, nothing.

it's not easy, as i can see the blows table has been changed since the early BG was introduced. This is good, as the previous BG was overpowered, but right now i'm a warrior that has no detect of any sort, no esapes, and no warrior!!

obviously i did not pick up whatever the -8 was.

DL21 - i massacre a whole bunch of orcs and half orcs. I recall to sell stuff, and finally find a ring of STR +2 in the BM. 40 damage / round with my dagger. Out of the previous loot i keep a rod of treasure detection. The level i'm in gets swarmed with breeders so i look for an exit.
I find 2x Nimblessness which i will stash until i can get above STR 18.
I try to kill a 3-headed hydra but i fail miserably and have to recall.

DL21 - i kill Nar, The Dwarf, and get a whopping spear +3,+3. Again the tile was changed into something worse. LF 6-3, i take this opportunity to go down.

DL22 - LF 5-6
finally something decent to play with.
Half of the level has nothing it in, and then i find an open, cross-shaped room with a ton of trees. I phase away and prepare a careful plan for attack which immediately goes to the dumps.
New mobs.. Abyss worm mass. A breeder that eats walls. Nice.
Aaand i get my xp drained as well.

Furious, i kill some but then i run away, and decide to risk it all. I go to the trees and find that, yeah they are tough, but deal almost no damage. I brute force my way to the middle of the room, killing none, but picking up a weapon.
Partial id says slays trolls and has ESP. Ok, 28 damage is not much, but at least now i have some detection. AND i can carry my dagger as a swap. +1 light, so it's a holy avenger?
Slays dragons, trolls, FA, SI, rDark, it's pretty darn useful.

next step, i need one more Brawn, then i can quaff my Nimble, and i should be ok for damage output.
an artifact light would be good, as anything with an activation - aside from my pathetic ring of ice.

DL22 - LF 6-5 tons of orcs and even-more-annoying-than-before hounds, Kim gets teleported away and my prize is a Heavy Crossbow of Accuracy +15,+11. This does a good deal of damage and i can now reliably kill hydras.
There are a decent number of potions for sale, and i id'd a good bit of gear, but insofar nothing noteworthy aside from the early wand of TO, to use sparingly.

I'm off work so i decide to call it a day. file dump below.

[Sky]

after a 24-hour bender where i got more drunk that any human being can even imagine without being permanently shellshocked, i set back into the dungeon.

DL22 - Azog right at the start, and i decide i've had enough of this badguy so i pop my last Speed and prepare to melee him. Obviously i forget to swap.

20 CLW and a few CSW + CCW later, he is dead.

Ok so, @Nick. this release has some MAJOR latency issues. I'm srsr, this is unplayable. When i wake mobs, they slow the game down to nothing. This is a quadcore 4Ghz, 8Gb of ram, i shouldn't be having any of this.

I also kill Ugluk but he drops nothing.

CL27 - 306hp
while listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cZsHLOKR3g
did you know that Ian Gillian - from Deep Purple - sang lead on Jesus Christ Superstar?

I'm a Blackguard so obviously i have zero Identify, but i found a amulet that has +2 Spd, so i will use this for now, even though i have no idea what either artefact does - the speed bonus is enough for me.

I didve down a couple more times, but no change; the only difference is that i spend 14k gold on a Long Bow Of Power +12,+20 ! from the BM. My reasoning is that it's better than my x4 crossbow, AND it weights much,much less.

fun fact : there are two songs called Damned For All Time; one is part of the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, and another is instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhGWYupx3ck
Corrosion of Conformity are by no means a great band but they made one album called Blind which is soooooooo much better than anything else they have made in their career. The drums on that album are amazing.

i dive again and the only thing of note is that 1) i can kill 2-headed (blue) hydras with my bow alone, and 2) holy crap orcish liquor is horrible.
I even manege to make it down to DL23 - LF 4-5
My prize is a Star which, as i do not have Identify, i can't tell you what it does; i don't know. It's got +3 light, ok. I even pusah down to DL24 because i think you're all getting bored by now of this slow-ass gaming.

[Sky]

i meet Ungamyet and Sangahyando of Umbar and i cannot be bothered, so i kill them both with my brand new bow. My prize is a bog-standard Elven cloak, it's got some unknown resist, but otherwise it's just +1 stealth +1 Spd. And, on the same level, i find another artifact cloak, that has +2 INT (useless) and +" tunnelling (good).
I like tunnelling.
JCS kicks in with the good songs; i dive another level. DL25, i wake a group of trolls and the game grinds to a halt.
nothing of note. I kill some mobs, get my Xp drained by a vampire, and on recall i find a Brawn in the BM, which puts me to 19/32on STR. I drink the 3x Nimblesness potions, and only lose INT and CON - good. My damage now is 117 vs trolls, orcs, demons and dragons, 78 vs others, which is good. I have no potions of Speed, which is not good, but +3 base Spd is nothing to scoff at, when you are clutching straws.
Ohsanna. JCS really kicks in.
Dl23, Khim Son Of Mim tried to stop me, but i carelessly roll over him. He drops a miserable magic robe which i set to ignore.
two uneventful levels later DL27, nothing really happens. I learn a few id, i restore my xp, buy a potion fo CON from the BM, CL27 322hp, just as ALW pumps out the flogging on JCS's.

DL27, LF 7-3 i find an ant pit. I see that ants now have a breath attack. They destroy everything they drop before i can pick up anything. I also kill Orfax and Boldor and .. it's just too much xp. This really needs a tweak, i cant be exping this much at this depth.
CL28 333hp.
DL28 LF 5-6, but i never find the artifact. As always, i read a scroll and it's teleport level. I do kill the snaga unique but he drops nothing.
DL29 LF5-3.

with all these hit points, i can easily be at DL40 - i just need to get there.

What class of mob is a gorgon? i killed something that used the Medusa tile, but it's not a unique anymore, and i cannot find it in the monster list.

[Nick]

What class of mob is a gorgon? i killed something that used the Medusa tile, but it's not a unique anymore, and i cannot find it in the monster list.

It's a naga.

[Sky]

The damage on the blackguard is really high; bloodlust + werewolf form double my normal dps.

i noted that the game doesn't stay snapped to the desktop anymore - it's slightly off and always needs the double-click to size it.

so, let me get this straight; during bloodlust, when you get "you lash out at a nearby foe", does that mean you get an additional free attack? or does the game take one of my actions to do that?

bloodlust .. is too strong. ok yeah you lose some CON, and i have an obviously skewed perception because i have found a rod of Restoration very early, so it doesn't affect me as much. And, sometimes you may do something weird.

But; the damage output is ridiculous. Five rounds to kill Pazuzu, killed Ungoliant without using a single heal. The Nan The Giant was dead in 4 blows.
And, once you dive deep enough, bloodlust never goes away - you just kill some random mobs, and you are back at full strength. On top of that, you have a spell to restore CON !! (which should totally go to CL40 imho)

file dump at full bloodlust (purple); i understand that werewolf form could increase this even more - however that's not something you'd want when fighting Morgoth.

might i suggest, that bloodlust charges when you kill things that bleed? i.e trolls, humans. dragons. not spectres, vortices, or golems.

ok so, Balrogs having pass-wall is a hard no from me. Not only do they summon each other, but they will track you from the other side of the map. Way, way too strong.

I figure that Bloodlust makes you attack instead of taking other actions; this makes it more dangerous than i figured, so im not sure if i will use it in the Morgoth fight - too much randomness. However, on the plus side, i got breathed on and was taken to -45hp !! and survived.
(probably would not have gone down to -45 *if* bloodlust wasn't preventing me from drinking a heal, but that's the game)

I dread to think if you still got Balrog pits in this release.
Also, the new Ainur, a pit of those is waaaaaaaay too much for anyone that doesnt have Banishment.
