    None here - looking forward to it!

      Oooh yeah. Mage would be GOOD. High elf, preferably, for early game survivability. And please don't short starting CON.

        Objection!!!!

        Not really. Also 2nding (3rding) Matt's suggestions of a mage. Kobold for kicks?

          Gee...thanks guys.
          At least it's a Half-troll mage.

          God I hate playing mages.

            I used to hate mages. I do hate mages with bad stealth, mana, and archery.

              Yeah, but a mighty 2.5dpr is not to be sniffed at!

                It could have been worse... half orc-mage, in my experience, that's the worst combination for mages of all.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

                  I vote for dwarf mage.

                    Bad mana? What're you talking about; half-trolls get innate regeneration!

                      It depends on strategy. I like to play extreme sniper/diver as a mage (Cl 18 dl 33 recently.) . That means min fail and max number of spells from full mana. H/T is optimized for mowing down big crowds and stopping to rest in the middle.

                        How about a dwarf rogue next? They're surprisingly viable in my experience.

                          I'm tired of the TO away/loot/go down/repeat characters... Next time why not a pure unbeliever (some variants have those)?

                            I don't really know what that means in English (I think you just described angband in a nutshell) but if you give me a specific variant/class/race combo, I'm happy to oblige anything I can compile and that the ladder can parse.

                              I was more thinking of a half-ogre barbarian unbeliever from tome 2.3.5.

                                If somone builds the savefile I'd be happy to set up that comp. I don't know anything about tome and I have no desire to learn
