HELP (Character dump inside this time

I was messing around with the text files hence the strange character history

A bit silly but John is meant to be a Troll that started a line of Trolls ending with the Trolls Bilbo encountered

Doesn't seem to be a comprehansive beginners guide floating around. The long and short of it is you want to build more evasion and melee in equal measure, maybe with a slight focus on evasion (depending on your gear). I like 6 stealth for opportunist and not drawing aggro from the wholelevel on sight. Get some Will when you start envountering Wights; start eyeing poison resistance if you survive to werewolf depth. Usually it's easy sailing from there on provided yu find good gear and continue to pump evasion/melee (aim for at least 20/20 by 1000'; preferrably more).

Your starter build is pretty suboptimal by the by; if you're not gonna smith it's better to be a Fingolfin, and 3443/2543 spreads are more stat effective than 3532.

Above all, just play to have fun and try to figure out what killed you. The odds for any single character to make it playing blind aren't great.

Btw are you playing a vriant? Who's John?

THANK YOU, I remembered you edited my post before to give it the code format and when I checked back on that post the only thing I saw that could have caused it was "Code:" so that is where that came from.

I cannot get the code tag to work

If you try to edit your dump post you'll see what I did

Thanks, I was wide eyed when I saw it, for some readon I'm afraid the ladder does not get enough traffic and my post will be left there. I want to know if I should be wearing/wielding stuff in my inventory in exchange for some of my other equipmnet. What should I buy with my xp, skill points, skills? Any tips on monsters etc for the next few hundred feet?

Nice Axe. It's usually simpler to upload your character to the ladder if you want comments; makes it easier to update as well. What is it you need help with?
