Hmmm. If the dwarves are aligned with gods, perhaps they could start with items aligned with that god in their inventory. E.g. wands to zap, items to throw, minimal chance of nice items. Why not make a new class of Kamikaze dwarf called rookie Kamikaze dwarf that carries a back pack but is afraid to use it and throws things only. Add in Elite Kamikaze dwarf that carries a backpack and will use it when he runs out of things to throw/zap and has a chance of carrying a nice item aligned with his god. Maybe the ultimate is the ninja Kamikaze dwarf that will disappear in a puff of smoke every time you get close enough to melee (like that bastard Izzy) and has all the elite Kamikaze dwarf abilities. You could make his ninja backpack a wand hybrid (probably by modifying wand code) have 5 teleport charges with only a local square effect when zapped (teleports only the wearer) and a major explosion when applied. Could be a formidable foe running around picking up wands and zapping you then teleporting out. You could also give him teleportitis and teleport control so that he could teleport more than just 5 times. Or adapt Blink dog code so that he could teleport at will. Maybe even make the backpacks aligned with the gods so that if you had a ninja backpack of loricatus and he was pissed at you and you tried to use it it would either explode or teleport away a random body part. As in "You zap the ninja backpack of loricatus. Somehow you feel Loricatus is angry. Your groin is teleported away. Suddenly you feel uncertain of your manhood. You die."

If you enchant the valpurium shield it can become unbelievably accurate. I think at +8

If you like to melée named baddies a good shield and skill saves you getting one-shotted. (most of the time)

Yeah, I generally train all weapon classes except axes. If you keep your endurance low the you can train faster. I've actually gotten leprosy intentionally to bring endurance down. I've done the level 65 training a few times but it always results in untimely death from uberzombies and the like. The key to keeping your indurance down is knowing seges and mellis. Use banana peels/ heavy crap to train and wear the best armour (eg tamed elite guard) for training and then heal with a potion or a prayer to seges when your HP gets low. Giant carnivourous plants give you 20 exp points each hit which makes you fly through the early training levels. ITs easy to get every weapon class up to 13/14 and dont go higher than 19 unless you wnat uberzobie death.
Changing material of main weapon make you start from scratch for experience with that weapon (but not that class). This makes a Gift from Valpurus more valuable - end game material at start of game means no exp loss. Frankly I prefer the shield since there are no artifact shields in IVAN 0.50.

Sumo: Vomit (bananas are free - kick them off the ostrich landing zone) in front of door many times (abuses AStr and LStr) or throw a bottle of acid at the door, or pile some bear traps in front of door (works well if you know loricatus to fix/harden traps), and or haste yourself for fight, or fight as werewolf, or train AStr + Dex in UT to 15 each for simple win.

If you use the bear trap method and happen to have some good traps (eg meteoric steel or better ) you can also kill Decos. He comes to watch the fight so line his path with traps. pray to loricatus to fix you best broken trap. just kee reusing them once he escapes. if he loses a couple legs then he is easily killed by bear traps. Rolling Richel

I should add this is worthwhile for two mithril boots of kicking, a mithril chain mail and two ommel hair whips +3. Plus gems

You need 55 int. Its always 5 more than the harden int. You can get two champion prizes from th same god but you have to wait 2.5 days maybe 3 cant remember for the timer to reset.

Whips of thievery. Enchant one to + 10 or more and change it to GEF or spider silk then clone it.

I also like a whip shield combo or a sword shield combo.
vermis shield combo
vermis/whip combo
dual wielded swords either scimitars or flaming
dual vermis


I've never played with mjolak - it doesn't align with my gods but dual wielded valpurium or diamond halberds are ok
