I've been playing Zangband for like 7 or 8 years now and the furthest down I've gotten is about dlvl 40. I've also been getting into Z+ but I'd kind of like to give Vanilla a try.
Basically, what is a good race-class combination for a first time Vanilla player, considering that I would like to actually have a shot at winning? I was used to being a Chaos-Warrior in Z, which is sort of like a Paladin but with destructive magic and random bonuses (or curses) every time you level up. Would a Paladin be good for a similar playing style?
I am always reluctant to use the High Elf and Dunadan races because of the EXP penalty...I used to play as a vampire in Z until I got sick of taking so long to level up but maybe that's dumb. What do you think?
