This character just found a +1 crystal plate armour of cold resistance. Now I’m torn.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to commit to my plan of passwall stabbing, but not sure if that’s really best.

2

I doubt passwall stabbing is optimal, especially with that nice armour. But it is a hell of a lot of fun.

3

Passwall stabbing with antenna should work pretty well. Combine that with maybe petrify and an Oka long blade swap depending on the situation and you’d be solid for most of a 3 rune. It would also give you enough alchemy that you could cheaply pick up mephitic cloud for more stab potential too. With what you already have in throw/stealth you should be getting pretty good success with atropa darts too, so there’s plenty of ways to supplement the stabbing game if you pass wall into a sticky situation or have to clear a metal level or something.

4

It’s gonna be pretty hard to get the strength to make the crystal plate actually good unless you already have a lot of +Str gear.

5

he’s got spiny and demonic touch. gaining a lot of AC is amazing, even if it crashes my EV.
The problems are stealth and spell success, but the character could have decided not to care about those.

6

Spiney and the monstrous Ds muts are good enough that I forgot my quickblade in Snake and I only noticed when I found a scroll of enchant weapon in V:2.

TBF, I did wonder why the enemies were so tough, and I used consumables at a unsustainable rate those few floors.

7

And he died, because I wasn’t quite careful enough on V:5.

I’d cleared out the top right quadrant, at significant cost, and decided that must mean I could safely get off the level and back again. The game did not agree.
