MPA-sil run -- not completely up to date, but has the "lore-keeper ids consumables" and "self-knowledge ids weapons" changes in there. Also, shit-brown shortswords.

I've been playing with using Charge+Flanking to make an Edain run tolerable, and this one has been pretty fun so far. The early 3.0lb 4d2 war hammer has helped alot, but I just got thrown for a loop by the kite shield of fingolfin :(

It has +con and crazy def (and rfear!) which is awesome, but there's nothing I really want to wield 1-handed right now...

The melee affinity for Hador feels really strong, they almost play like a really hard-fighting Naugrim with terrible Con. I actually find these a lot easier to play than any of the non-archer Sindar...

FYI having self-knowledge id weapons-in-hand is super great, and combining that with lorekeeper showing me which ones are cursed this makes it easy to skip loremaster... maybe too easy :)

This ID game is pretty easy now but at least it's one that doesn't make me barf

Using the hammer one handed seems okay here? Or perhaps switching from one to two handed depending on the fight.

Scatha: Yeah I might try the hammer or the bastard sword one-handed, I'm just worried about not doing enough damage -- especially with the (-2)...

The shield is working OK. It does enough damage to kill serpents while I'm wearing it... eventually. I had a open-room fight with 7 cats, 3 greater werewolves, an emerald serpent, and 3 cave trolls, and I managed to take them all out. I got surrounded at one point and none of the cats could scratch me, it was actually the poison damage from the greater werewolves that was getting me into trouble...

I'm relying a lot more on 'cute' play this game (i guess half would call it 'tactical') ... I was overwhelmed by a ton of greater werewolves and a grotesque, so i pulled the grotesque into the hall, plugged the wolves behind it, and then smashed the grotesque to death with a mattock, sealing them behind the rubble :) (When I did that, i got a bunch of messages saying "the X became unwary", even though I have 1 stealth... I guess losing pathfinding to the player makes them go back to wandering?)

MarvinPA changed the color on deathblades so I totally thought it was a new item type and ran headfirst into one while fleeing from greater Cs, but it fell pretty easily to a two-fisted warhammer.

Now I've found orcrist... melee and evasion bonus are nice but it doesn't slay wolves or rauko which is really what I need right now, and I fear that at 2d8 (2d11 on charge), I'm really not going to be doing much damage. Might give it a shot but it's certainly not going make the cut on serpents.

I was going to aim for crit resist, but given that I survived 10 rounds surrounded by cats, I think I can hold off on that to buff melee and evasion for a while.

My biggest hole right now is fract, any dragon that gets LOS is going to completely own me I think, provided that he can pry me out of my armor!

Awesome job! You've segued into a heavy protection warrior, listing my typical problems... butterknife problem, and poison. Get prot rings, buy rpois, get b.axe, heap melee points. Focus attack with +10 perception nets +5 melee with wait-attack, which you can sustain with heavy armor, which you should buy! Feel the warmth and comfort and overall snugginess of all that metal. It loves you.

Or, just keep on keepin' on! Hehe. Good job getting so far man. Don't let your great gear get acid-ed.

Also I don't think waiting around is going to help this guy much, so far I've done my best by running all over the place and chaining charge-flanks on dudes... the pack AI seems to get far fewer attacks this way (they spend more turns moving / repositioning and fewer attacking, which also plays nicely into ZoC!)

Things got a bit hairy there for a while (Two packs of Kemenrauko + scads of badguys), but pulled through with only using a couple healing things.

So far I've been dodging around my resistance holes by trying to kill things quick. I found Anglachel (!) and Narsil... Anglachel is doing all the damage, but I've swapped to Narsil a couple times against young drakes. I've killed a couple ancient ruby serpents just by getting a swift charge at them before they could react.

I'm currently sitting on a Hauberk of Protection (-2) [-4,2d7] (39.5 lb)... it would cost 4500XP to get heavy armor use but I wonder if it would be worth it, I'd get 1d3 prot even without Fingolfin. Would rather spend the XP on more melee, more evasion, or possibly Song of Slaying?

I'd love to be able to ditch the "Blessed Realm for the "Con but right now I am just able to see Gwathrauko, so I'm forced to hold it as a swap.

elliptic told me that knockback doesn't work as well with 1h, there is a bonus applied to 2h attacks -- so far I'm not noticing much, although I suppose I have 7 effective str when I charge anyways :)

Well, this is getting ugly. Still haven't found a single !Con or anything with rF+ except for Narsil, and there are dragons everywhere. Lungorthin showed up to add injury to more injury, and I used up a scad of consumables :(

Trawling 950' right now but not feeling great about this. Probably will go for song of slaying at some point, maybe add staying to the mix if XP allows.

Orodreth was a great find, but I had to kill a Great Fire Drake to get it. :/ Thankfully, I hung onto Narsil. He went down pretty easily with that and an !elem. I went back to an old hoard forgetting that it was guarded by ancalagon... still not really someone I want to deal with right now. Or ever.

The "!Con does not exist" problem is starting to get super annoying. I found one !Con, just regerated 950', and there are none to be found here. There's an artefact crown and a couple other consumables kicking around that I might go steal before regenning one last 950', burning my last treasures charge, and then just going for it.

I think this dude could kill V if I had quite a lot more !Con, and a few more !Quick, but it's not looking good. I guess I also need slaying, and something like rapid attack which is also not going to happen so... yeah, this might be a 1 sil game. Which means I get to deal with V on the ascent. Hooray :)

I think I might just pool experience until the throne room now, and then decide if I want Crowd Fighting and Dexterity, or +song and Song of Slaying...

Man, please tell me you recorded this run... I would love to watch it, even without commentary. Evasion... and protection! I'm so... what do the cool kids call it?... Jelly. I'm so jelly.

Sorry, no permanent artifact of this run exists :( I killed a whole bunch of these dudes before this so going straight to video would be... frustrating lol. I was termcasting the whole time though!

I guess I could record the throne room run...

Also, I probably could have had a much more powerful character if I'd stopped buying evasion and relied more on protection to save me, but with such low con for so long, I didn't really have the guts to do it. But dumping a lot of that evasion XP into song could have gone a long way to making this dude a V-killer, I think.

My Lorog is at 950ft. and if the chambers of thu don't yield anything better, I will end up with the shortbow of celegorm (which is great, but not exactly a heavy bow). So jealous.

As you played a mastery character recently I am surprised you don't have more love for House of Doriath. They are the best.

A pity you don't use perception more, leaving Ring of Melian behind must hurt.
