A different attempt than my other characters in Sil so far. This time a melee focused approach. I took plenty of Dex to get the bonuses to skills, then a point of Con to get to a reasonable HP and then the rest Str. I then followed the Melee tree mostly and took Evasion points. I was headed for Heavy Armor Use, but never did find a shield to justify Blocking. I did also take just enough Smithing to make myself a Greatsword on lvl 2.
I only ran each level once, but still was at a minimum depth of 400' by the time I was finishing 250'. The next stairs dumped me down to 400' and I wasn't quite prepared for how hard orc champions and mountain trolls hit. I couldn't recover from one group before the next came along, so I ended up fleeing up the stairs several times before they finally just wore me down.

Oh, also put on the gauntlets unidentified. They were surprisingly not totally awful, since I did at least get Opportunist out of the deal. Threw some points at Will for Curse Breaking after wearing them but before realizing that they offered that ability.

I think you would have been better off with a) a bit more evasion and b) choosing armor that has less protection but lower evasion penalties.
Most things around 400' have a decently hard time hitting the broad side of a barn door. You had middling evasion and middling protection, which only gets you far as an archer :D
Have you tried the artistry start yet? Buy enough smithing / Grace to have ~10 skill, and then take Armorsmith and Artistry. Make as much high-evasion equipment as you can at the first (and second) forge you find, and the first 500' or so are very easy to survive.
I only suggest it b/c you seem to be using smithing exclusively to give yourself some control over your starting set of weapons, which is helpful but doesn't really increase survivability that much IMO unless you have supremely bad luck.

I think you would be better off melee-route wise by prioritizing evasion over melee, as I find the early game monsters pretty easy to hit. I used to do 8/4 7/5 melee/evasion, now I use the opposite and have a much easier time. +14, 3d7, +7, 4-12 might be possible and fun, but +9, 3d7, +12, 4-12 is probably more survivable. It's a shame you didn't find any body armor, +11, 5-16 would likely be good, especially for those dang archers and dart chuckers. Also, starting out at 7 or 8 evasion makes the route to heavy armor seem closer and cheaper once you start swinging the blades and making the heads roll. Anyway, my 2 cents, there's certainly lots of paths to victory to win, even in melee style.

Dang you, Debo! Wow, did I really compose that over 15 minutes?

I appreciate the advice, guys. I'm new to Sil, and I'm still finding my feet. I've got a Void winner in ToME, but can't get down past 400' on Sil so far. :) Of course, it's been quite a few years since my ToME Void winner too, and my skills are likely not what they were.
On 1.3.2013 20:48 bceason@yahoo.com wrote:
So, let me ask this also: Is going for Dex over Str like I am the better route, because of the ability boosts? Thanks again.

A void winner is mightily impressive. It's funny you mention T.o.M.E., because I would put Sil on the same shelf in that you have great control over your character's leveling. I found this much more appealing in T.o.M.E. than all the other cool features it had. I haven't played T.o.M.E. since like, 2.3.5, or something like that.

I agree, and I always enjoyed that aspect of ToME too, though I also really enjoy the super flexible and powerful magic system. There are so many possible character combinations that it opens up that are interesting to run, even if they don't work out at all.
Until recently, I hadn't played since 2.3.2, but picked it back up because I remembered how fun it was. I haven't messed with 4.0, but just started running 2.3.5 and remembering the old days. :)

It should be impossible to get higher body attributes than you have anyway, I play Noldor w/ 2 4 4 4 or even 1 4 4 5 which is perfectly fine. Only way to get even higher strength at start is by playing Naugrim w/ initial +1 STR. And there is about no way to get more than 5 DEX when you want to take anything else at all.
W/ 3 STR and a greatsword I would take power instead of finesse. However, one of the nice things about Sil is that playing with light weapons is perfectly viable (if you can pick your fights).

Also note that Momentum comes in handy for lighter-weight two-handed use.
