Dwarven Warrior in 3.3.0

Also, I'm relying on a bow and arrows a lot, is that a good thing?

Nothing wrong with using a bow if that is your most effective attack. My Gnome Mage frequently smacked monsters upside the head with a melee weapon. Do what works.

Alrighty, just checking. Still pretty new at getting back into this. It's a lot of fun though, and the community here seems to be really nice people.

Indeed.. I learned my lesson. Now I'm being sure to carry extra !CCW and ?PD / ?Teleportation. I also have a =Teleportation just in case I keep getting confused.

As a warrior it might be worth to carry wand of Stinking Cloud just to kill those insects fast if they look like they start to breed. Later in game some ball-spell rod is useful unfortunately there is no poison cloud rod, I could use a ball-spell rod that doesn't destroy items at floor even if it is a low damage one.

Having at least one ball spell in your arsenal is useful for not only killing things, but also choosing when and where to fight. With high-stealth char I'm currently playing (hobbit rogue) I sometimes have to deliberately wake things up just to make them come to me instead of risking getting surrounded by too many hard hitters in case they wake up while I'm killing them. Sometimes a bunch of orcs are blocking way for pack of hounds so that I can't kill those one by one, so I need to wake those orcs up just to clear path for those hounds (and to get to whatever loot they have behind them). In situations like that mildly damaging ball spell is enough.

Yeah, I've been using a few Wands of Stinking Cloud as well as Wonder. Don't quiiiiite have the stealth issue you do... but if only. Haha.
