          You are the first child of a Shadow-Fairy Ranger.  You have
          brown eyes, straight pure white hair that barely covers
          your shoulders, and a pale complexion.


          ...Now, you are exploring level 9 of Angband.

[XP 10][Depth 11]
Killing weak monsters with Cold Touch. A bit of luck needed for Farmer
Maggot's dogs. Repeatedly mugged by Smeagol. "Summon Rat" scumming
produces a few tasty Skaven, but eventually a Rock Mole almost kills me ---
keep diving. Scary moment: inattention leads to getting outflanked by
Novice Rangers while at low HP. (When is this class not at low HP?) Used up
remaining Scrolls of Phase Door in fruitless effort to escape. Application of
Wand of Slow Monster delays two Novice Rangers. Mad dash for a corridor
while at 0 hp, in sight of a Novice Ranger who kindly refrains from killing
me. Another one, at full health, lurks in the corridor --- lucky shot from
Wand of Wonder does him in, healing me back to 56 HP. What *was* that?
Return, kill Novice Rangers, kill more Skaven. Topped out at depth 10,
begin return journey.

First impressions of class: Probably not balanced for no-pets play. Plays
like a warrior with super low HP who can't fight when out of mana. (Minor
typo: "Maledicter" class title should be "Maledictor".) Low expectations for
future success --- how to handle anything that's not intimidated by a
2d6+10 melee attack? Still, interesting class idea, and deliberately avoiding
spell spoilers --- I'd like to discover the spells myself. Speaking of
discovering, had to find out myself by experiment (3 or 4 trials) that the
Necro's casting stat is INT :)

Keep some rat things nearby at all times ...

ARGH! I died already! A Dark Elven Mage made short work of me by staying out of melee range --- I wasted my one chance to hit him in melee by using Poison Touch, not knowing he was resistant.

As for the Rat Things... well, I was trying to play in no-pets mode, so that plan wouldn't have worked very well. In fact I was refraining from casting Summon Bats because I was scared of having Mongbats appear; I decided to wait until I got back to town.

Ah, No Pets will be hard as pets are one of the main powers of the Necromancer. The other being their touches, of course, but those probably aren't powerful enough to rely on solely, at least not early on (Vampiric Touch is great if you can live that long).

Of course, summoning pets as foes for drops and xp always interests me. You can target a distant location before summoning, but that doesn't always work.

Yeah, summon farming is something I tried to do. I also tried Spider farming with my current Beastmaster, but I ran into the same problem: I almost got killed doing it. Is there something I don't know about how summoning works? My Beastmaster was at depth 2, and got one batch of Wood Spiders, two batches of Cave Spiders (which is what I was expecting), and one Giant Spider that trounced me before I cast Phase Door. Isn't the Giant Spider a bit out of depth? What are the odds?

I wasn't aware you could attempt to summon at a distance --- how does that work?

Anyway, I thought the Necro might benefit from some kind of "Spectral Hand" spell that could extend the range of touch spells, possibly while incurring some sort of drawback (though I'm drawing a blank on what that could be). I wouldn't want to completely reverse an intended drawback of the Necro, but it would be good to somehow bring another dimension to gameplay, and the flavor would be really good. I'll see if I can think of a more detailed idea for this.
