Sigmund hits you. You die... DUNGEON CRAWL STONE SOUP ITT

<< < (38/39) > >>

Alex C:
Unless you google everything obsessively or are otherwise aware of his reputation a D:2 or D:3 Sigmund has a great chance of killing a character if that's the first time you've seen him. Only Grinder really compares that early, and for the same reason: if you get hit with Paralysis or Confuse things just may be out of your hands.

snalin:
I never really have big problems with Sigmund if I'm rolling a fighter type - high health, high damage, but low level mages or sneaky types don't really have the hp or damage output at that point to take him down if you don't want to spend potions or wands you really want to save for later. On the other hand, he's so early on that you'll probably loose your character anyways, so it might be best to just guts on going straight for the kill.

I found one of those super-cursed axes the other day, it was AWESOME. It kills pretty much anything, but doesn't allow you to run away. That wasn't a problem until I met the unique guy with a spear(or something) of banishment. Not being able to run away in the abyss is pretty much a death sentence.

rooboodude:
I've played mostly death knights and assassins from this point, and have avoided mages, although I'm looking into trying one out.  Due to my use of allies and whatnot, I'd assume that's where my level of ease is rising from.

Alex C:
One thing to keep in mind is that Sigmund pretty much has no defenses whatsoever, so if you are level 2 or 3 and have access to Evaporate or Mephitic Cloud you can often score some easy xp off a cheap kill. I like to just try the one cloud/evaporate and if the spell fails I summon a chump blocker to eat his projectiles so I can leg it for the stairs in relative peace. It's quite a safe tactic and the only times he's ever really gotten me are when I was sloppy and was waltzing around as a wounded dark elf. Really, the things that worry me most when getting mages of all stripes off the ground and running are probably centaur packs, orc priests, spiny frogs and Prince Ribbit. The first two are nasty because of arrows of dispersal and smite targeting respectively while frogs are apparently just big ol' douche bags in crawl and are likely to spawn during the awkward period in which you're outgrowing your first spell book but you still have quite a few turns to go before your god gift books kick in.

Big necro attempt here... As previously mentioned the save scumming/item swapping method worked as far back as 0.7. Its now up to version 0.11... Is there still a way to move items from one character to another? I did notice the game uses a .cs file to save your characters data, but have not been successful at prying it open to take a look (even a c# editor comes up with garbage O.o). Regards, Retpocileh.
