The early game is now *much* easier in 1.0.19. I finally am willing to admit that removing Hengband's extra starting hp was a bad idea :( While I was at it, I reverted all the race/class stat adjustments so that quickstarts are once again easier to achieve.

This is a test for the least obvious devicemaster specialization: rods. Wands are the obvious choice with all the amazing offense. I could make an argument for staves as mana storm is quite powerful (recently buffed a tad higher) and getting 375hp of undrainable healing from a staff is very nice (Wandmasters cannot protect staves 100% from charge draining!) Also, boosting the effectiveness of staves of destruction should be worth consideration. But why would anybody specialize in rods?

To address this, rodmasters now get double the class device power bonus (up to +50%). Also, they always had better efficiency with shuffling charges and better odds with desperation magic (rods are harder to destroy, after all). I even added mid-level rods of mana bolts to the mix. Also, rods recharge at 2x the normal rate! Hopefully, these differences will be enough to make specializing in rods worthy of consideration.

Oh, check out the early (<30minutes) wand of dragon's frost! I had to sell Thengel to get it, but that was a very good trade IMO :)

Enjoying the new start, I'm trying a Balrog devicemaster.

Do you ever tactically switch on "always small levels" to speed things up? I think I'm going to start doing that for camelot, and especially the wargs quest, I hate searching huge levels to try and find the last wargs (or stairs). Could potentially be good for unique quests too, in some instances.

I've found "always small levels" to be a great boon in Angband, as I usually go to other dungeons to scour for loot and kill mobs for experience. Makes it easier to plunge :)

Glad to see the Hengband starting bonus HP being restored. Removing it was step backward, imo.

I use this all the time early on, but not so much below DL40. The one exception being Oberon, but his cowardice is just too annoying otherwise!

>I raise you a wand of rockets on D:14!

You suck :D Are you specializing in wands?

Anyway, here is my soon to be dead post:

[CL24:DL40] 01:57
My first ring of warning found on DL13 of the orc caves at about the 35 minute mark was something special. With this, I am bold enough to skim the top of the anti-melee caves for a short while, hoping for more firepower. So far, this has been working, but I notice on posting I lack fire resistance (I was using Narsil for a long time). And FA, of course, but I have run out of fingers for rings.

I did go with wand specialty again, I'll post a dump, since I'm CL20 now.

With hp so low, I am definitely playing bold this deep. But running into Jack of Shadows at L40 and L50 is not so different after all. I just wish that guy was evil :)

I'm having trouble locating !Int and !Con, but I'll gladly settle for !Aug instead.

As far as the rodmaster goes, I pretty much have infinite elemental balls, the most deadly of which goes for about 130hp. This is not particularly awe inspiring, but it is getting the job done for the foes I choose to fight.

Not even strong enough for two breaths from a Deathbeast? That's rather sad. Well, I was about ready to abandon this guy for a Potion devicemaster anyway!

Rods are definitely a compelling speciality, if you can survive long enough to get some of the more powerful rods. But, having just completed coding on Scroll and Potion specialities, I think I like those even better :)
