I can't play Paladin worth a damn...

[Pete Mack]

I just lost still another Dwarf Paladin to some combination of stupidity and bad luck.

I was at 2150', cl 26, HP ~220, and down on HP from meleeing some green orc unique. (My weapon was a Whip of Westernesse, with no Ring of Damage.)

Some nasty non-evil guy came in, and I Portaled away. (I had no Teleport Other the entire game.) I landed immediately adjacent to a Sorceress, who woke up and summoned an Ancient Green, who breathed. I suppose I could have survived using "deep descent" instead, but nevertheless, it was a pretty harsh death.

I just am not very good at diving with "bad" stealth, I guess... I did try Dunadan Paladin as well, but I just hate playing without infravision.
