Finding this spear seems to be a sign that I should clear the orc caves.........

Busily breaking the orc caves over my knee like a dry stick. Was tempted to take a Berserker body -- not sure if they have all the same crazy restrictions as the Berserker class does, but the stats skills and stats sure seemed similar!

Is there any way to tell what "power level" my currently-possessed body is? (i.e. the number that affects the min level at which I can possess it, and I think the max XP level I can gain with it?)

Not sure. But I can help anyways!

Use the 'U' command to determine your current Possessor 'power level' to know if you meet the minimum amount required to possess a certain monster. Minimum power level = monster's level. For example, a Deep one (Green 'u') is a decent possess-able level 28 monster. Therefore, you have to get a minimum power level of 28 to possess it. You will reach power level of 28 when you are at clvl 20. Power levels improve as you gain levels.

There is one catch: many monsters have a maximum level. Maximum level is the character level when your possessed monsters STOP gaining EXP!! Maximum level = monster's level + 5. For example, the Deep one's max level is 33 (since Deep ones are level 28 monsters. Hence, 28 + 5 = 33)

As for possessing Berserkers, I think they actually do have severe non-melee restrictions, but I don't remember. But, I do know for sure that War trolls and Steel Dragons (those Berserk forms) have 'Very bad' non-melee abilities.

If you want a good body to possess, get a Deep one from that swamp north of Angwil. You need a minimum power level of 28 for this. Use the 'U' command to check. But also, come prepared with *LOTS* of !CCW and !Healing because that area has many very nasty Hydras. The Deep ones themselves are very fast and bite to poison and reduce CHR.

Yeah I've died there a bunch too. Thanks for the breakdown Hugo, I just look at r_info.txt now instead of schlepping through monster knowledge, since it's easier to grep this way :) It wasn't 100% transparent to me that "native monster depth" is the same thing as "monster power level".

I maxed out the Variant Maintainer (they sure don't have a lot of potential!), swapped to an Ogrillon that absolutely stomped Azog. That body was already maxed out also, so I switched to an Uruk that has 2 levels left in it. It's substantially weaker in melee and less durable, but it can actually read stuff with reasonable fails.

I was really hoping Azog would leave a corpse, but no such luck :)

I guess I might dive in Camelot a bit more since I have rBlind. A Camelot Knight would be a pretty super body (I like the well-balanced ones a bit more than the MOAR MELEE ones.)

Went to that swamp at Angwil, found myself this Cave Ogre which gives me some breathing room re: levelling. Hits decently hard too. The bad stealth and spell fails are a pain though.

I also saw a Cyclops there and had it down to one star... but it then dropped me from 150HP to 40 in one round :D I tele'd away, healed, and failed 3 subsequent teles in front of a seahorse that manabolted me down to 2HP!

Somehow just pressing < on the screen took me to the overworld and saved me from that scenario, not sure why that worked as the seahorse was still in LOS :D

You can also get a Water troll (native to level 24). Water trolls are probably as strong as Ogres, but definitely a big boost in AC not seen in Ogres/orcs/humanoids/giants!!

Fixed the glaring typo.

Speaking of non-unique giants, Hrus and Rock giants get large AC boosts too.

So, I suffered a minor setback against the Hoard, so went to Giant's Hall to hunt a better body. LOOK AT THIS THING IT'S SO OP

I AM BASICALLY GORO

Ha wow. I've killed the Minotaur quickly before, but not in one round. That's some impressive damage for level 26.

I guess I asked for this. Went looking for Arthur. Walked into a hallway, and:

a) Suddenly surrounded by Lancelot and Gareth and someone else I don't even remember

b) Fail to read tele. Suddenly I'm blind and confused and at 50% hp. (Good thing I made sure to bring rConf and rBlind!)

c) Read ?Tele. Arthur follows and OHKOs me :)

It probably would have been better to get kicked out of my body! I was in a tight corridor and could have passwalled out.
