A better start this time, with early detection. Heck, I even have some nice firepower with a rod of fire bolts ... Can't say I've *ever* used one of those before!

But I am hung up here without FA ... And I need 2 essences to gain the ability. Let's try some patience. With luck, I should be able to find some in the towns if nobody is willing to drop any. I did see a Westerness weapon earlier but could not afford it (still can't :(

On a roll! I blew 17k for a flaming dagger and fire res at last. Then, 13k for a silly slay orc weapon, but that is rather useful right now. The Orc Camp then had a 'thanc dagger (hello 2 resistances!) and I later found an order weapon (Yes!). I do need to rule out Order and Wild weapons from generating slaying essences, though. For this release, enjoy them while they last but I'll just point out that you need a *lot* of slaying essence before you get any bonus!

I have enough gold now that I can just wait for a couple FA weapons in the towns. If I can't get it after 4 hours or so, I may need to just give this race intrinsic FA at CL25, but I'd rather not have to do that, especially based on a single playtesting datapoint.

You can make quests have different rewards for various races right? How about giving out either one or two FA weapons for early quests for death swords. With one you'd then only need to find one other sword of FA like a normal race would, two would be kinder.

That's probably best. Hitherto, quests were unable to do ego item rewards, but I fixed this with some voodoo hackery. Now, the standard FA quest reward (Tengu and Death Swords) will grant a westernesse weapon for Death-Swords.

But, in the process of clearing this quest, I discovered something truly awesome: Werewindle!!

Other changes:
[1] FA and SI now only require 1 essence.
[2] Resist Fire, Cold, Elec, Acid, Conf are still 1 essence.
[3] Other resists are 2 or more essences.

What's the best to increase the AC? Level-up?

C'mon, Blade of Chaos. I'm really trying to hang on for my next form, erring on the side of caution when necessary. For example, last level was special, with a fair sized vault on it. At this point, any out of depth-ness is more than I can handle, and a Raal's was claiming ownership to the lower 30% or so of the vault. Other nasties included an Ancient Bronze Dragon (RConf??), a Sorcerer and even Grendel is beyond me. Actually, in total embarrassment, I couldn't control some undead masses from breeding out of control! Sigh ... At least I got that Disenchanter Mold ;)

The Raal's did tag me when I thought he couldn't busting me down to 50% health. This was my mad dash for not one, not two, but three unidentified potions. All of them were stat potions, so my calculated sprint was worthwhile. But I never found the special item, and bailed once too much nastiness got scattered about the dungeon. And only a single -TeleportOther was annoying!

@Hugo: Yes, AC is deliberately low. This class will be very powerful in the end, so getting there needs to be more challenging. Your AC will improve with experience or with essences of AC, but those are rather rare. Defenders, Holy Avengers and certain artifacts have them, but good luck finding any early on. That's why I had to run from Grendel!

How does one take off the 'broken sword' and switch to another weapon?

You can't. That's the whole point: You *are* a broken death sword! Don't worry, you will evolve into a better form soon enough ;)

Quick update: I finally found a Trump weapon for some nexus resistance. Upon recalling, the town stocked another trump with random confusion resist! A couple of branded weapons to boot, and I am getting close to an elemental brand (I think it needs 7).

I highly recommend paying the 2k to teleport around to all the towns every so often (Try doing it just before, and then just after each level up, though you can do it a bit more often at this point in the game). Be sure to check both the armory and the temple, as well as the obvious BM. I have passed on a couple of order weapons, though. At 80 to 90k, they are just too expensive just now.

Self Knowledge revealed 18/80 intrinsic Dex, so I need to max it for my last attack. But 112% life so I won't be shuffling with this guy :)

Also, I plan to reforge Thalkettoth into a broken dagger. Since the scoring algorithm scoffs at such pitiful weapons, I should get something nice!

Back to Design Mode:

One thing I was noticing with this build is that it takes a long time to get meaningful slays. And it needs to be this way, or else you will just have all slays as a Death Scythe too easily.

Let's try a change.

First of all, I downgraded the Poleaxe to a 2d8 Battle Axe.
Second, I made the number of slay essences required for the slay dependent on your form. As a broken death sword, a single essence will generally give you the slay. But, as you evolve, it requires more and more essences to get the bonus. The goal is that good, meaningful slays should be achievable in each form, but that you will probably lose them upon evolution.

For example, I have 9 essences of Slay Evil. In my current form, I need 8 essences for the ability (And Death Swords only need 4). But, when I evolve into a Blade of Chaos, I will need 16 essences, which I may or may not have by that point. And the Death Scythe will need 32.

Of course, the exact numbers to use will require some tweaking as I don't really have a strong feel for just how many slay evil weapons one finds in a typical game.

I'm slightly more powerful than I was prior to this change, but not much (I got a lucky +1d for a level up reward).

Thoughts?

I am forged for killing knights of the round table!

I got Winblows and then Elmi for +8 slaying essences :)

About your design mode:

Agree on the 2d8, 3d8 is really powerful.

Same with the slaying, this way, you will need to keep draining swords if you want to keep you precious slays.

Also that column "Need" is a great addition. Might make a same column for the rest so you can see how much you need for another +?

And +1 slaying is +2d? Or did you get a sharpness from leveling up?

I was also wondering something about the gambleshop. Do you get egos only as weapon? Or can you also get {good} for 150k a pop?

On 14.7.2013 17:54 chris wrote:
+1d is from slaying essences. Another +1d was from a level up reward which will get wiped out next evolution. Also, Death Scythes never get the +1d level up reward.

Gamble shop is just an overpriced weapon. Its at least good, but might be excellent or even special. But, at 150k gp, its not a good gamble IMO.

I fixed up the character dump. This also helps be debug ;)

[CL34:Cloning Pits] 07:27
I moved Levitation from 3 to 2, not realizing how rare it can be. Hopefully, this guy is just getting unlucky?

Anyway, the Cloning Pits were rather tough. I learned that 2 Grendels at once is life threatening (up to 300hp damage!) and that Queen Ants really, really ... REALLY ... suck. Well, their exploding kin are the main problem, destroying all the trees.

But the worst was a Death Mold. Ugggggggh ... Disenchantment is awful for this build! I left it for last, hasted up, and went in with melee, my only option. It managed to disenchant *me*, that bastard. Snagged a slay evil essence, 4 slaying essences and a couple attack essences, and god knows what else. But it had to be killed!

Looks like I never will get that 5th attack :(

Wow, didn't realize Disenchant was *that* bad...

And getting ESP might be tough too. I know Theoden has ESP, but not that many weapons have it.
