It's been my first run through Pan with any crawl character, and i'm
finding it *much* easier than any of the hells. The hells really can
cause problems with the summons turning up at the most inconvenient
times, and no guarenteed time to rest and heal. Plus as i've mentioned
earlier the trips to the abyss can be a pain
The only times i've had any problems are with finger trouble and moving
around too quickly without paying attention. That's despite my best
stat being dex, my next best int (13), and str (11) with a great flail
weilding dwarf! Skills are clearly much more important than attributes.
even my magic isn't too terrible.
So am I missing something fundamental, or am i correct and Pan is
easier than the hells? One of my last nemelex punishments (been a long
time now, he still doesn't seem to be bored of me) was a pan banishment
when i was in one of the hells. it was a picnic in comparison and i
netted a rune from one of the special levels with no real problems.
Anyway off on holiday soon so you wont get bored with my posts for a
week and a bit Hopefully this chap can get all the runes, that's
certainly the plan. 4 special runes in pan plus any number of demonic
ones isn't it? Still reckon the golden rune has the capacity to kill me
no matter how buff a crawl character gets (excepting perhaps torment
resistant ones).
