Only the second winner? Really??

Well, huh. It didn't seem that hard, especially after I got to use Absorb Hit - that is an *insane* spell and I ran it in every fight from then on. Massive massive help.

[I found the statue of Flashback during the game, and figured that it must be a previoous impressive char. very nice touch!]

Just read the comments on that char about equipment: I definitely agree on weapons (there were a bunch that looked good but needed far higher STR to use; almost no decent light weapons). I found, hmm, the 4 artifacts I'm wearing and 3 others (Hellwind bow and two of the Paur gauntlets) all of which went to altars. And one of those 7 came from the Duke :). Lots of goodish bows, plenty of arrows, very important to this char.

Congrats!

I'll build a statue for you too, near Eostre's altar. Do you want to tweak the name of the comp character to personalize it? What's your color?

You commented on very high device fail rates elsewhere -- they depend on Presence, which is your lowest stat by a huge margin.

Good to hear that bows were useful. I've also received critique that they suck.

AC is a bit broken, I think. That's probably why the Duke didn't hit you in melee. Luckily, the armor mechanics will be replaced with a brand new system in the future.

Also, melee weapons will receive a *big* facelift. I'll make sure that weapons get better the deeper you descend, and that there are good weapons for everybody. Sadly, Claw Hammer will be gone. :)

There's still hope for other competitors. The lower your Min Depth is when you win, the bigger bonus multiplier you receive!!!

I'm not surprised that the game balance isn't that fun at deeper levels. It's still a work in progress. Especially considering that Ironband mana was just implemented a couple of weeks ago. :)

I remember that Eytan tried to tune down Absorb Hit several times in EyAngband. Unsuccessfully, it seems. :)

A statue would be neat :). Red, perhaps? But Desdemona is fine.

Devices relying on PRE? Huh. That would never have occurred to me, but it explains the high fail indeed, and gives a reason for boosting PRE - so good gameplay, I expect.

Bows were very mixed. The bow here is good because it would blind monsters quite often, which was neat and helpful; the big advantage of bows though is their range,which is (I assume intentionally) much MUCH longer than spells. So they take some care to set up - in particular, combining with stealth and lighting areas appropriately - or maximum effect, but can then I think be very good. Overall just fine, I think; perhaps the perception of being bad is because light radius is generally very small, and enemies often very fast to close?

The Duke did *hit* me occasionally, but just not hurt me: with Absorb Hit running and him just doing basic 'HURT' damage, no actual effect. Which was so much less worrying than the monsters near him in depth!

I actually thought - in contrast to the series of one-off gripes - that game balance was OK; appropriately tricky, felt like a high risk of death *but* manageable with care. I think that the biggest gripe is that there seemed to be a lot of chance in how relevant and/or possible some of the unique chrome bits - circles, altars, etc. - would be for any given char, and the answer in this case was 'not very.' More accurate help files would also be a big improvement. And the Raal's bug is VERY irritating!

In general I think anyone constructing a variant should be commended, so apologies for the negatives in my comments. I might even try a second time with a different spellsword to see whether I can improve the score, now that I know the TWD is not so hard; hope for better kit drops, I guess, although Thorin was a huge and pleasant surprise :).

Also Spell Range depends on Presence!

Something is boosting your spell range by 3. Amulet of the Marksman, maybe?
