This was to be my all runes win, but I got so bored my brain was
turning into cream cheese and running out of my ear, so I gave up
trying to find the last of the 4 special levels in Pan. (I might have
missed it early on but I don't think so).
I think pandemonium needs some modification. It just takes too damn
long to generate those special levels. If I wanted a game that awarded
tedium... angband is --->>
Once you've got a bunch of demonic runes you're only there for the
special levels and boredom could easily kill you when searching for
them. I actually went from 0 to 27 in short blades due just for the
hell of it whilst searching pan levels. Also the special levels aren't
actually all that special. For my (admittedly uber buff melee)
character they were all very easy.
Oh another thought on Nemelex... I wont bother in future. The potential
stat gains were just too much of a pain for the shuffle possibilities.
Once I converted to Elyvilon I was much happier on the whole (big heal
probably saved my ass a couple of times during the late game). Still my
high stat (in the 40's) swapping around from str, int and dex made for
a bit of amusement
And lead to me settling on a quick blade at the
very end as nemelex's last shuffle punishment left me with dex as my
biggest stat.
