(clevel:33, dlevel:44) Just knocked off Glaurung who dropped the always amazing Julian and possibly even better the longbow of extra shots he's now using (kinda handy for an archer).

Overall the character has been going fine, but I'm having kind of an existential dilemma with him.

On level 43 while hunting for the down stairs to go for the level 44 Dungeon Quest, he ran into Botei-Building who was a lot tougher than expected. The reason was that when monsters have "reflect" it also works on arrows. Its not 100%, but I'd guess its probably 50/50. At one point he had 3 or 4 straight arrows reflected and I just said "screw this" and meleed him to death.

I like Archers a lot (my very first winner in any 'band was an Archer, in fact) and I have fun with the whole ammo-creating mechanic and using the right tool for the job when fighting stuff.

But Oberon and the Serpent both also reflect, along with, IIRC lots of the deep uniques. The prospect of leveling an Archer to 50, delving down with him to about dlevel 90 or 95, and then having to set aside his ranged weapons and melee everything to actually win is just deeply lame.

No, I didn't suicide him. I meant to look at his quests before finishing and hit the wrong key. So I hit "N".

Oberon and The Serpent no longer reflect.

BTW, I disagreed with this addition (it was added for Chengband by request) and have since forgotten about it. Personally, I wouldn't mind backing it out for PosChengband.

Nice! My enthusiasm is restored!

I dunno about getting rid of it entirely. I wouldn't mind it being gone but I also don't mind it being there in general. Its just another option to put on a unique to make it more annoying.

I don't mind it being on the occasion unique as long as its fairly rare. The problem when something that shuts down a class (or two, I assume Snipers have the same issue) so thoroughly and the Serpent or Oberon have it. It'd be like if there was an Acid-mancer that did all acid attacks and the Serpent was actually immune to it in addition to resisting it. The class would feel kinda pointless from the start.

(clevel:39, dlevel:54) Old Castle went smoothly and I'd totally forgotten that the Archer reward was Bard which is a badly needed launcher upgrade. Drops were nice overally. Nothing individually noteworthy, but they lined up with his needs really well (Ring of Extra Shots is normally not a big deal, but the first one an Archer finds is HUGE) letting him upgrade almost 1/3 of his kit.

Speed goes from +9 to +13 and his DPS jumps ~80% with the new gear. Better resists too, though, hmm, I wonder how long he's been missing rConfusion. Need to fix that.

Resists are actually kind of a mess. Need to work on that.

(clevel:43, dlevel:57) Failed the Spawning Pits in magnificent fashion by failing to realize he didn't have a source of See Invisible. So he could only spot most of the Quylthulgs if they were within his Infravision range of 3-4 squares. Perhaps the one time ever when a bunch of potions of Infravision would have been really, really helpful. Oh well. The gear from Old Castle turned him into a buzzsaw and a strategy of creeping around the edge of the map mowing down the summons and killing any Q's that were unlucky enough to teleport/blink into visual range worked out a lot better than it had any right to, but not well enough to get him through it. Cost a ton of rep, needs to do some unique hunting if he ever wanted to Reforge anything.

Ran into a huge vault of some sort on dlevel 57. Got about 1/3 of the way through it when something summoned Habu and he teamed up with the Defiler and a mess of Great Wyrms of various sorts. They were surprisingly manageable except Habu's chaos breath destroyed almost all of my ammo (and a !Wisdom potion he was standing on and about to drink, darn it).

Might have still been able to pull it out, but realized there was a pair of leather boots in the middle of a big earthquake zone where Lems and some other stuff were going at it suggesting they were something good (I like playing with Preserve Off). So instead of working for the kill, he darted past everything and dug through the rock and was rewarded with Feanor. Unfortunately getting to the boots left him with literally no ammo left so it was time to hop. I'll get you next time, Habu.

Found that spiffy ring of Speed + Haste, which is great and in theory is amazing except that he's got roughly a 98% fail rate on using the activation. Is it Wisdom-driven?

(clevel:50, dlevel:79) After several dozen attempts by various monsters to polymorph my various characters, something finally turned Crackshot into a Yeek. Freaked me out for a bit as even *Remove Curse* didn't seem to get rid of it, but I simply couldn't believe there could be monsters that could do that to you. But then it eventually wore off on its on. Spooked me.

After a few more lackluster Reforging attempts to improve on Bard, the Glaive of Pain finally coughed up something good and I expect him to use this one through the end of the game.

He absolutely devastated the Fenghuang then went and practiced with Poison Needles for a bit to get his skill up. Sadly to no avail. He survived long enough to hit the GWoP plenty of times, but he never landed a fatal hit. Which is a shame, because this guy might have actually had a fighting chance against the Babble. Oh well.
