I've yet to meet such a thing as a power dragon - but I saw on the ladder someone found that power dragon scale mail. Me wants it, now!
A good drop early makes a world of difference - green dragon scale mail on my current priest has already made it my best priest ever and I've not been trouble at all yet really since - kiss of death here too - once more
Still going strong here too, though! In spite of talking about how easy this run is, haha.Comment

Power dragons exist in several variants. In O they breathe more or less everything, summon dragons, appear with dragons as escorts and can tunnel through walls. I always found it annoying that V had scales from a monster that doesn't exist. I mean, sure, extinction happens, but it doesn't feel right.Comment

I don't know whether or not there is such a thing as a "power dragon" enemy. It makes sense that there would be if there's mail, but I've never seen one. This is the first time I've found the mail, and yeah. This is not coming off any time soon.

Side note: Power Dragon Scale Mail used to provide resistance to every element possible; now it's missing nexus and nether (it's basically balance DSM + multihued DSM + Pseudo DSM). IMO this is a bug. Can we please get it fixed?Comment

GWoMC just has the base elements + poison. Great Wyrms of Power don't exist in Vanilla, as noted, but many variants have seen fit to add them.

Also curious- has there ever been resistance to things like water, raw mana, etc? They don't even show up as possible resistances on the character sheet, if I remember right.Comment

Mana is unresistable. If I remember right, the "water" is a combination of two (I don't remember which ones) elements to get resist (and the resist is only for the effects, not the damage). I could be wrong.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. 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.”

Well, I had so much fun with Dwarf.
Somewhere on level 86 I get SO CONFIDENT, that kept my finger on the keyboard and missed two chaos breaths from Jabberwock.
Rookie mistake, overconfidence (1000 HP, +26 perm speed, ~200 AC, Narya, stats maxed, what could kill me?
Started over, get to dl 41 in just 2 hours of play
That is the thing with my favorite character - I do not mind starting over, still having fun.
Question about fighting Morgoth. Two options here: bows or melee. If I choose melee, will he stun me? Should I hold on to Crown of Serenity?Comment

He can cause stunning just like any big-melee enemy can cause stunning, but he isn't unusually proficient at it like Grand Master Mystics are. Just chug a healing potion when you get stunned. I mean, if you don't have anything better to do with your head slot then Serenity isn't an awful choice, but it's by no means required and you'll probably find something better to use.Comment

Man, sorry you died. Sometimes I insta-restart just to keep my momentum going, but a lot of times I don't feel like touching it for a week or so after a tragic death.Comment

I usually want to jump right back in to the fray and find and take revenge on the monster type that killed me. So this time, it's grave wights. Grave wights! Can't remember the last time one of those got me. I was clearing out a graveyard in my usual style, and somehow (I swear I was hasted) a grave wight got a double move on me, and cast its cause wounds spell two moves in a row for close to max damage each time (thanks, RNG!). Gnome mage still had flea-level HP at that point. Next time around, I cleared out the next graveyard via a hockey-stick and toyed with the grave wights with magic missiles before finally fire bolting their undead asses into oblivion.Comment
