Don't be hung up on hobbit ranger. You are playing a fighter with mage spell boosts and ridiculous shooting bonuses on top. Race matters very little at the end. Stealth doesn't help at all vs monsters that start awake. You may well end up fighting M using melee.
By move on from, I mean free the slot for something more important. Pick them up early in a trip, use them if convenient, and drop any that are left when you need the slot.
If you have rPoison in the book, no point wearing Colluin so long as you carry that book. However, if you wear Colluin you might be able to dump the resistances book for another slot, depending upon whether Colluin recharges fast enough for your playstyle. You shouldn't engage a suitable D without double resists. In the end, roguelikes are games of slot management. It is often worth weakening yourself a little bit to get another free slot.

The book I'm wondering if I should keep has Meteor storm (Raal's Tome of Destruction) and some other elemental AOE spells.
I'm sort of hung up on Legendary stealth and I'm gettting rPois from Elvenkind shield, so I do not see the point of wearing Colluin since resistances don't stack. The Resistance book does have rPois. Because of my low HP having rAcid and rCold are also useful.
I'm standing on a ?Mass Banishment but don't have room for it. Wondering if I should chuck Weaponmastery (found in the vault) or Necklace of the Dwarves as the only really important the Dwarves is providing me is CON.
Power Diver: When you say move on from... you mean leave behind? I dropped my !CSWs since I am so rarely healing since I am so able to pick favorable fights with my legendary stealth. I bought 9 !Speed in the store but they are sort of unnecessarily redundant, especially when I get my SP to 300+ when it will be very unlikely for me to run out of mana. I also have a stack of !restore mana at home. So yeah, I think I will drop the !speeds.
I kinda wish I was playing as a warrior. I found a MoD Holy Avenger; no extra attacks, yet if I swap my gear around I can do 542.6 vs Evil with it. I'm a hobbit, and I have more than once gone up against Morgoth with very similar damage as a warrior with MoD of <+2> extra attacks. Still, I think I am going to leave the MoD behind. Or maybe I shouldn't? Hmm... its to-dam is +21. Why am I able to get so much damage as a hobbit? That is crazy. That's not even with a Ring of Damage. It's only 4.7 blows per round; and it covers all resistances except Nexus and Chaos. That is... really crazy.
So I guess now the question is: drop Necklace of the Dwarves and take MoD Holy Avenger?Last edited by Grotug; January 2, 2017, 18:36.Leave a comment:

I don't know what is in each book any more, so no advice about which books to drop from me.
I would move on from potions of speed, staves of teleportation, wands of teleport other, and maybe cure serious depending upon how overpowered cure serious remains. Alternatively you could leave whichever spellbooks behind if you are covering the key spell with a separate slot.
I would choose a cloak to wear and toss the other. Actually, does your book resistance spell give poison resistance? If not, I would toss both and wear Colluin. Double resistance to poison is a bigger deal than single resistance to shards.
Staves of power are, or at least used to be, great for clearing pits. I would hate to toss them.Leave a comment:

If I were to wear tulkas then maybe I would rely on it but I don't really like speed activators as there invariably comes a time when you can't activate and you need to. I have inventory slot issues so trying to figure out which book to drop.
EDIT: so earlier I said I had found Gilmoire book of Power, but it was Raal's Tomes of Destruction I had found. I just found another one. Should I keep this and drop my staves of power?Last edited by Grotug; January 2, 2017, 16:34.Leave a comment:

Does anyone know the limitations of elemental brand? I assume I cannot brand my arrows of holy might? What about my seeker bolts of wounding? I tried it on my seeker bolts and it worked.
Just found the ring of Tulkas but I do not think I will replace my ring of INT with it. But maybe... ? Hmm.. I could drop MB4 but I'd lose treasure detection which is very very important to my playstyle. I have a rod of detection at home, but I'm trying to cover detection with my spell books so not carrying the rod. Maybe I am getting to a stage in the game where I can rely less on spell books and more on wands/rods?Last edited by Grotug; January 2, 2017, 13:47.Leave a comment:

I picked hobbit ranger because
1) hLife
2) best ranged attack combo
3) very good stealth combo
It is also one of the worst CON combos. I will do a Char dump soon.
Dump will have to wait as my computer is charging and the outlets in my room stopped working.
I found my first greater vault and having been through the first row on bottom of vault my stealth is now legendary (Aman +3 stealth and boots of elvenkind +3 stealth). Unfortunately some heavy hitters have already woken, such as Huan but these compartments are set up such that I have been TOing from favorable knight' move. Also picked up crown of serenity for first pConf so I can ditch the _teleportations and add MB2. I'm pretty much going to be invincible if I can ever get my con above 700. Side note: if I wear boots of speed <+10> that I also found and an elven cloak I was wearing my base speed will be +20, but -6 stealth so I think Leg stealth and +15 speed is preferable now (Aman also gives me rShards).Last edited by Grotug; January 2, 2017, 13:48.Leave a comment:

HT mage has exceedingly terrible archery. Don't save ammo for high-AC targets. Just kill undead unique. Note that top wringwraiths are some of the few high value targets you can actually kill with low HP. Same for many non-unique undead. They are a pain, but they generally do less than 300HP damage with spell effects, tho' there are a few exceptions.
Note: with less than 18/200 INT you are at particular danger with low HP. The usual way to get by is zero-fail TO. With 1% fail and less than 400 HP, a failure will eventually kill you. Focus on CON and INT alone. Even speed takes second place for you.Leave a comment:

Cool, thanks! So now the question is do I wear Dwarven Chaos or Hithlomir? The Dwarven gives +2 CON and my device skill increases the damage by 96%! I just found Narya and swapped out the CON<+5> ring for it. So I could use the boost but I dunno, I think stealth is more important. TOing the instakiller while he's asleep is a pretty safe move.
So I've been casually using seeker bolts of slay evil (+12) and just bought a haradrim from the store (+14). The bolts now do 506.6 against Morgoth and his ilk. Should I save the bolts for the final fight or figure I'll find better ones? I think I'll hold onto them; I'm gonna be able to take on Saruman soon.Last edited by Grotug; January 1, 2017, 23:29.Leave a comment:

I did the math on this a few years ago; if I recall correctly, roughly every +3 to stealth halves the chance a monster wakes up on any given turn.
The textual descriptions on the character sheet don't correspond to any breakpoints so far as I'm aware. They just assign a label to each range of values.Leave a comment:

But the excessive SP is great for casting all the time for everything. I am about to buy a ring of CON <+5> though, which I may swap out. Having that much SP saves on resources, though. Just picked up ?Transformations; not sure if it's worth carrying around for the greater recharging and buffs, though. Prolly save it in my home for later.
I am gaining XP very slowly. I'm on DL81 now and only CL36. There are very few high XP targets I can go after with 275HP. I suppose I could swap out an INT ring now, but means less incessant detecting monsters and more difficulty creating stairs.
I have a question: I have Superb stealth; and I don a piece of armor that increases my stealth by +3. I still have superb stealth. Do the monsters know the difference or do I only get the benefit when it goes to the next level (heroic)?
Should I wear a ring of CON <+5> or a ring of speed <+7>? My base speed before wearing the ring is +10. If I wear the CON ring I go from 275 to 329. Seems it might be the way to go.
OMG Tensers lets me brand my ammunition!!!! My word that is huge. I was gonna say, for the top book it didn't seem that great cause I thought the branding was for melee weapons only, but ... ammo branding sure is great!
Wow, not only does it brand the ammo it enchants it! This is why powerdiving is so much fun; cause the stuff you find makes a real difference. When I used to play Paladin at a normal non diving pace, by the time I found the last book it basically had no impact.
Wow, I thought the (+4, +4) frost was good but the second batch got (+6, +6)! Hobbit Ranger is fun.
Hmm, maybe speed is more important than CON. As long as I can hockey stick my opponents with the TO, I should be good.Last edited by Grotug; January 1, 2017, 22:27.Leave a comment:

The rules for stats are inconsistent and slightly strange. If you care, look in src/tables.c and you should be able to figure out which effects max out when. I think they range anywhere from 18/180 to 18/220 for max benefit depending on the table.
My guess [can't be sure] is that you shouldn't be worrying about SP so much. The important thing is failure rate on whichever spells you truly depend upon. If you can get away with one int ring for those minimum failure rates, you'd probably be better off with a different ring as opposed to more SP.Leave a comment:

MB2 is useful in two cases when deep:
1. No ESP and very weak, you need to illuminate evert hallway.
2. ESP and near endgame strong with Clairvoyance device, you need XP fast, so teleport around the dungeon checking for high value targets.Leave a comment:
