Terrible good luck dooms me, I'm sure. I mean, it's even a lucky find
I'll want to use with this character...

See how young and weak this character is, so frail, so vulnerable to RNG
whim. Well, I survived my first snake, anyway. But an overwhelming mass
of Orcs could be just around the corner.

Just lying there on DL 1. I think I'd better find something lighter to

seen one or two of these. I fear the RNG will smite me with massive
retaliatory balancing bad luck.

And if you guessed "orc priests" you'd be right. However, it was an
escapable situation with a little bit of luck and better
decision-making, so I have to blame myself instead of the RNG, who
spared me from an earlier close call with an ogre which could easily
have done me.

>: j - a +0 gold dragon armour
By the way, I have a Dungeon Crawl 400b26 and I seem NEVER have such
deep items emerge on lower levels. In fact, I still have not found a
single dragon armor through all my games.
Maybe there is something special, not just RNG weirdness? A lot of
people report finding such items on D:1, like:
http://www.swallowtail.org/crawl/tutorial.shtml
(I RARELY find wands on first few levels! Also I never seem to find
berserking potions on them!)
and
http://www.digital-eel.com/13steps/
dragon armour again!
How can people easy find items I never seem to find? RNG is ok but I
hate thought of RNG might be 'some more random' to other people in
specific conditions?

You used the word "smite" and "RNG" in the same sentence. The
omniscient part of the RNG heard that, put the two together, and came
up with an orc priest. See, it's not THAT far-fetched.![:)]( ":)")

For the record, my only YAVP found a dragon hide on D:4. This will
hopefully help to dispell the illusion that a great early find dooms
the character, R. Dan Henry's characters excluded naturally.![;)]( ";)")
On a more personal note, my level 10 grey elf wizard just found his
first spellbook in the dungeon, and it's the transmuter's starting
book. I've decided not to learn any of the spells, so we'll see if
the RNG gets mad at me (I think the odds when dealing with the RNG
are generally 50/50 either way).

Totally Off Topic (TOT): I think RGRMisc needs a FAQ, and as a long
time lurker/sometimes poster I'd be happy to contribute. But the
weirdness of Google Groups and the division in tagging articles
is probably a pain to many people with diverse ways of accessing
Usenet. This includes me. Therefore, I hope someone with lots of
initiative who isn't me starts a thread soon on the topic. You have
my permission to tag it with whatever you desire.
