The main advantage of SoCM over praying is you know what you're going to get. More often than not you'll get a limb of some crappy material. Also different gods give different materials, and changing alignments will just eat up more time. If you happen to be relying on something of ommel bone/tooth, that's time you may not want to take. Besides, high INT is useful and, coupled with tele-control, essential when dealing with multiple spellcasters as you often do late-game. May as well just take the time to raise your INT.

Then there is no hope for you Comrade. It's difficult to clear it even with WM. Simply jacking up your stats won't do.

If you use WM you will lose that bones.

If you want to find which bones file it is, next time you lose a character there, check your bones folder and check the dates.

Your best bet is Turox.

Well I'll be damned. There's a solution to this after all! Cerumen++

I'm thinking he prayed to Scabies, actually. The bitch once turned me into a rat because she was pleased. Pleased.

Oh wow. It sounded interesting so I just tested it.

It's probably your character.

Oops, yes, right you are. You did say it. I was in a bit of a rush, so I read "draws" as meaning it draws effectiveness from your chaotic alignment.

Actually Izzy using Mjolak and Neerc se'ulb will make you more chaotic. Each time their special goes off your alignment changes thus:

L++ goes down 10
L+ goes down 8
L goes down 6
L- goes down 4
N+ goes down 2
N doesn't change
N- goes up 2
C+ goes up 4
C goes up 6
C- goes up 8
C-- goes up 10
