Decided to have another go at a capped skill character. Somewhat strangely ended up using a Dragon Horn bow most of the time. Galdriel so early was like winning the lottery. Not really sure what I should be pushing at the moment. Listen might help, as could Majesty and woven themes also might be wise for Elbereth and Sharpness. I had thought I'd end up taking artifice and going that route, but doesn't look likely now.

Great name. I guess more Perception skills can never really hurt, what are you limited to there? Will is nice to have, any significant issues there? What do you deal damage with, do you use concentration et al? I guess with Riposte you can't really concentrate. Could boosting smithing get you lamps of brightness/true sight or something like that?

I don't really do any melee - though it is funny if I shoot an adjacent enemy, they get in an opportunist attack, miss and my riposte kills them :)

My shortbow got destroyed by fire breath, so I'm only using the big bow now. I found Wyrm's End, but that is a strange beast and I don't think it would be that useful.

Not long to go until time is up and I have nearly 20k xp to spend. I guess I'll take the last two points of will. Smithing would be only to get the grace point and I don't think I need that.

I guess I take rapid fire, maybe crippling shot - blocking might also be sensible if Glaurung shows up. Woven themes is probably essential to keep the Ts and os out of the way.

Question is... do I go for the big guy...?

If you get rapid fire and use !str and flaming venom arrows, you'll be getting at least 2x5d9 against V a round, won't you? That seems like more than enough... I'm sure you can hit him with 18 archery + !Dex buffs + whatever slaying bonus.

You know, it might be fun to stand in the crowd, shoot at V, and count on riposted attacks-of-opp from the badguys to build your slaying bonus :D

Hrm, you don't have song of slaying??? I guess it doesn't work well with archers, huh. Haven't played on in a long time.

Should have taken grace point from smithing before making a masterpiece - I know, I couldn't help myself when I found Orodruth.

Having 30 evasion with 11 investment is impressive, especially considering your armor is great anyway and you are using a longbow.

I personally decided dragon-horn longbows are camouflaged smithing gear after a heavy bow char of mine didn't find any damage rings and I ended up using my high strength for rapid fire with a nice shortbow. Apparently this one is a smith, but found the rings. But not only this, you also found Wyrm's End but left it behind...

I am always appalled by your high stats... This char is much less horrifying than others, but what I want to ask: How difficult were the gloves?

And Dailir and Galadriel :)

The way this character progressed, I didn't think I was going to do any smithing beyond my initial artistry start. I only took jeweller because I found a mithril helm and a feanorian lamp was a massive upgrade on my wooden torch! At the start of my final run at 950', I still only had 6 points in smithing and had no "smithing kit". However on that level was a 3 use forge and Orodruth. I was just going to leave them, but also finding +3 smithing gloves and a crown of grace twisted my arm! I therefore invested five more points in smithing, took weaponsmith and masterpiece and forged a +2 smithing war hammer with masterpiece at the first forge. I was torn between a 1d10 shortbow, permaspeed FA boots or the gloves and figured the gloves would give me the best chance of winning. They cost in the mid 40s.
