half troll hexer! really feeble to start the game, spent a long time at 50' and didnt descent further until gaining level 4. two of maggot's dogs dropped amulets! my favorite is the one with +3 int, and rFear and FA.

took some patience but killed smeagol with poison mist, and he dropped a short bow with enough plusses (+18,+6) that even a half troll hexer could hit things with it. saved up enough money to buy a stack of teleport scrolls, and headed for angband

the angband level 6 guardian, tough opponent since he resists poison. i would buff up, knock 2 or 3 stars off him and teleport away, kept repeating that procedure until he was dead. he dropped a cloak of cowardice that i did not have much use for

orc cave level 16 found a nature ego tulwar. not effective at melee yet, but it has +1 int and boosts my regeneration to 300%. and sense animals is useful at these depths too since hounds are around

wormtongue dropped the dasai randart, its got resists all over the place!

cleared orc cave. but i met my match against mime the nibelung in icky cave. he disenchanted my sling, and i couldnt hurt him with spells, so I just ran away.

got swords to runeswords spell but it isnt very useable yet. im not very good at fighting and not that many spell points either. the sling does fair damage but im not accurate enough to hit high AC. guess i need to up my stats, all of them really!

There a particular reason that you've chosen a half-troll?

Also, have you considered quaffing !Heroism and using 'Evily blessing' to boost your to-hit?

I notice that you've not tried 'Extra might,' too.

Actually, never mind about 'Extra might.' Not quite sure why I thought that it was untried.

half troll gets regeneration and I figured it would be good at melee. I figured the early game would be difficult, but i'd give it a try. it turned out to be my most successful hexer to date! which isnt saying that much :-(

patience is the s[ell i never bothered with. my previous attempts i could never figure out how to use it

i was holding my own in lonely mountain, until i ?phased right next to that law drake, which i had never detected, oops

Berserk is also one of the easier ways to get reasonable melee damage though I have a suspicion the barbarian would work better. Less terrible SPs & innate fear resistance.

Patience is some sort of retaliation? Stand next to something when it ends should do some sort of ball damage.

'Patience' requires that you take damage after you activate it, and does damage equal to what you took (I think) when it ends.

I think the damage type is hellfire? I know it can destroy certain objects when it goes off.

If you're looking for good melee, the absolute best races for that are half-giant, half-titan, and ares-parentage demigods. Of those, half-titans get the best HPs, and ares spawn get the 'Berserk' power.
