**While I recognize this isn't designed to be an efficient or particularly min/maxed character by any means, there's a lot of bad advice in here. Raising a magic skill to exceptionally high levels with no intent of using any of the spells contained within is just a massive waste of experience and turns. Suggesting the player farm experience in the Abyss is really unnecessary (and tends to result in all kinds of miserable malmutations). The worst part here is simply that the guide seems to think that magic-heavy characters with staves are inherently equal to or better at melee than heavily-armoured brutes with massive weapons; while it's true that a staff of earth can land very heavy blows, it's a phenomenally large investment for at most an incremental improvement in performance. Meanwhile that XP could be put in all sorts of other places to very significant effect. The core principle of this guide could basically be summed up as, "In the extended-game, you can train staves to 12 and Earth Magic to 27 and get a really great one-handed weapon." While I admit the idea is kind of fun, it's misleading to suggest this as in any way optimized.

Latest revision as of 20:36, 30 August 2024

These character guides are out of date and require significant updates before they can be returned to the character guide list. In cases where the guide cannot be rewritten due to the background or species mentioned no longer existing, an alternative but similar article may be appropriate (Hill Orc Priest guide -> Beogh guide).
