The Trident of Wrath

I've got a fighter that is coming along quite nicely in Angband. Been experimenting with different weapons to get the maximum damage per round. Just found a Trident of Wrath with +2 attack speed. It does over 300HP of damage per turn. Yes.

The fighter can automatically pseudo identify items. I hate when this detects an item being magical, but it is actually cursed. I have to waste a spell of identify to find out the magic worked in a negative way on the item.

My speed is up to +14 now. However it comes with me having to take off one of my items of resistance. So now I only have a shield of Elvenkind which resists cold, fire, etc. That means I take one third damage from those attacks. Might have to put back on a second item of resistance to shrink that to one ninth damage.

All of my stats are maxxed out except for wisdom and intelligence. I can see invisible creatures, as well as resist blindness. I got free action. Now I still am very careful around basilisks. However I am starting to be confident in even the lower levels of the dungeon. Will keep you posted on this characters progress. Oh yeah. His name is Fighter.

Leather Shield of the Haradrim

I got my character level 35 human mage running pretty smoothly in Angband. Was worried for a while because I did not have the standard resistance for a while. Now I have at least one item which provides resistance to acid/lightning/fire/cold.

The most interesting item I wield is the Leather Shield of the Haradrim. It gives me +1 attacks. An extra swing each turn is quite delicious for hand to hand combat. I also wear two +5 constitution rings maxxing out my constitution to 18/*** and my hit points to 593.

I am trying to beef up my speed. Right now it is only +8. Would like to make it to at least +10 to be twice as fast as usual. Need another item of resistance to get take 1/9 the damage instead of the current 1/3 damage. I also would like something that speeds regeneration. You never know when you will be on the run and want to regain hit points and mana pronto. There is only one other character ahead of me in the Angband Hall of Fame. It will take many moons to catch him though.
