It's pretty fun when one gets the chance. I do enjoy the occasional Sludge Elf Necromancer, or just for fun Kobold Assassin (blowdarts are no end of amusement.)

I use it to blow a few minutes here and there. I'm not good at it.

Troll berserker is god tier.

It makes a heck of a lot of improvements over Nethack, but comes at the cost of not having hundreds of man-years of TDTTOE.

I always end up playing Centaur archers of various sorts.

And then I die

I die a lot...but hey I have fun in the mean time!

It's good to find others who enjoy it, even though /tg/ chan's threads don't move as fast.
I almost quit entirely after my first win-- which was the straight-shot product of two years of failures and character made from inspiration rather than motivation to win, but lately I've found myself drawn back to the game's simple... fun, especially after playing my other games to death Dungeon Crawl offers alot more varity.

The trouble now is even though I want to explore much of the extended game levels, I'm still using 'characters of inspiration' like Eversor on the first post who has no magic capabilities what so ever, and has been relying on evocations and martial skill since I still haven't picked a God out for him.

I fucking love this game.
One of my greatest moments came in the early game, my character spotted Pixel and when into a rage. Dashing past the slaves he savagely beat Pixel to death before his body was all but spent.
Broken and exhausted, he fell to the floor as monsters surrounded him drawn by the clamour of the fight.
And the newly freed slaves fought them off to repay the simple man's courage.

Anyone trying the current 0.8 dev builds?

Felid Monks are agreeably killy. Sneak up on things and one-shot them in their sleep. Also I just grew a mane, thus apparently making me +2 furry http://pastebin.ca/2033789 .

And yes I am bad at remembering to ever try out scrolls to ID them before the last moment. And, yes, +5 ring of evasion on an early dlvl as well as being awesome at dodge. The RNG is going to rape me.

Seriously, they give octopodes grappling (I...assume it's unarmed-only, anyway), but make their "ideal" classes magicians? I'm gone pick the specialisation that introduces as many other targets as possible.

So I end up spamming Summon Small Mammals, tentacle-grappling things, and furpiling them to death. Oh, naked, because octopodes cannot into armour.

That crazy v0.10.

>Sonja. A graceful kobold assassin. Admire her graceful pirouettes, thrill at her daring leaps! But watch out for her knives!

Unfortunately, my minotaur is finding her prowess with a blowgun breathtaking.

I'm really not very good at this game. :|
