Nice going so far. I have to say, [+20, 6-25] is a pretty awesome defence for the mid-game. Is anything even scratching you?

Nothing is scratching me, except various evil darkness things.

That makes sense, since your evasion is halved if you can't see them.

I see you've already got Keen Senses. There are a few other abilities which can help against the darkness: Inner Light, Song of the Trees, and Listen. You might want to pick one of these up if this seems to be the main danger for you.

Leave it to LT to take a brutal game and add challenges to it. Rock on.

This one had unlucky death, by frost breathing 's', and some cat warriors blocking retreat, btw since it was ironman there was nowhere to retreat to actually.

That's a shame. Did you switch to your greatsword to fight the serpent? They have tough armour, so high damage output to take them down quickly is often best.

Do you have a death-readout?

I was unable to fight serpent due to cat warriors, blocking path, it was so silly, they was unable to hurt me in melee but theese breaths were deadly, actually I was allmost able to break free with 5 hps only to die from some blue 'R' monster, who blocked path just in time.

Nethertheless it was not an attemp to win, just a playtesting of combat system. I was eager to find a trouble, not to avoid it.

It seems, that blue R was Ringrauko.

Btw my worst thoughts about combat mechanics come true.
This char was invulnerable to 95% of the monsters and badly hurt by another 5%, cannot say I like this too much.

Another bad thing is about skill system: some skill are too rarely usefull, so it seems wise to just have spare XP pool to learn that skills just before you need them. It is silly IMHO.

This was a pretty extreme build in terms of pushing evasion. This is a choice you can make as the player, and will help you a lot against quite a few monsters, but left you slightly vulnerable in some other ways. This experience (invulnerability to 95% of foes) is definitely not typical of more balanced characters. Can you put your finger on what about it you dislike?

You can do that a bit with the skill system, but which skills are you thinking of? If it's too abusive to hold back experience in reserve until absolutely needed, we could stop people spending experience in combat somehow, for instance.

Twice, I've taken the curse-breaking ability after putting on a cursed item. I don't think that hurts the game though.

Evasion is powerful if you have a lot of it, but there are various things that are balanced against it (including its uselessness against breath attacks and other effects such as entrancement). I think it is powerful overall. As to building a character that is generally strong but has serious weaknesses, that is your own choice. I don't see why the game should stop you.
