=PĪnyone ever been hanging around a stair well and had something come up from a level you've never been to? I was in the Orcish mines and an Elven Lord pops up while I'm resting. After a few poisonous hits I ran up the stairs, only to die of said poison, which I would not have been affected by if I had been wearing the ring of poison resistance I had switched out for a ring of fire before facing the orc caster. I killed the sorceror or whatever he was, and started laying into the summons (which is always stupid, I know). I don't know why I thought I was this bad ass, but I really wanted to kill this fucker and so I let myself become surrounded by demons.
My MDFi was tearing around the orcish mines, when I encountered a high priest, or wizard. This game is ruled by serendipity, which is why I love and hate it. Sometimes these forums really do feel like talking to a catatonic nerd. Which would be a most interesting combination of nerd and crazy person. It just makes me feel like I'm not explaining game mechanics to a wall. I need to test the overall effectiveness of a Cheibriados character in the dungeon (not that I would particularly know anything about effectiveness. I've still got my preliminary testing character for Cheibriados. I may do a more in-depth report on him later. Cheibriados gets really sad if you take off something that he's blessed. Just be careful with the ponderous brands. The slowed metabolism also helps in regards to spitting and magic, since you can use nutrition for more actions without "losing" it to the passage of time. Much more efficient than trying to duel with everyone on their own terms. So in all the turns you spend being slow, that poison is working against the dude trying to smack you. Why do I bring up poison? Because regardless of how slowly/quickly YOU may be moving, poison acts just as fast. They're naturally slow, of course, but they also have poison spit, poison immunity and skill with poison magic. The naga fits in rather well with the whole slow deal. Magically hasted creatures get an extra-strength smack from Che, so I think that's what took Blork down. Second, the unassuming "damage creatures that are faster than you" ability is REALLY POWERFUL! I used it when I as being chased by Blork the Orc (hasted) and a giant ant (plus a worm off in the background).īoth of them died instantly. But even without a racial bonus, he lets you give armor the "ponderous" brand, which slows you down. First of all, it's pretty easy to get piety with him, especially with a naga. I've been trying out a couple of the new gods via wizard mode.Ĭheibriados, although peculiar, does happen to have a couple things going for him. Monsters will move about and forget you, plants will grow and die, corpses will rot and decay, until you are returned to the normal flow of time. * Step From Time removes you completely from the “flow” of time. * Slouch causes damage to monsters in sight that are faster than you it may cause extra damage to monsters in sight who are hasted or otherwise magically moving fast. * Bend Time allows you to slow down monsters that are adjacent to you. * Your metabolism is slowed considerably (similar to that of the first level of the slow metabolism mutation). This grants a resistance and +1 to your stats for each of the first three items that you wear the resistances are, respectively, life protection, cold resistance, and fire resistance he will support one item for each of the piety stars that you have.

I can't see any good reason to intentionally be slow.Ĭheibriados will support the wearing of ponderous armour.
