Hi fellow crawlers! Just a little question about stabbing. Do you usually apply a limit to increasing this skill? I've been grooming a SpAr XL15 of Ashenzari in 0.12. As the god requires the binding of the weapon hand I've been happily stabbing into midgame with a +4/+5 dagger (distort). The aptitude for Spriggans is high and several dragons and uniques have been vanquished by one stab. Yes, I see the table of stab success. But when is it enough? What are you accustomed to do? Limit stabbing to min 10 - max 20? Just like trap skill is usually limited to min5 - max10. Surely magic needs more xl points. I'm curious about many possible, very different attitudes. -- Bwijn 17:34, 25 June 2013 (CEST)

I usually stop at 13 or 14, because 99% of the sleeping monsters will die in a single hit, and because I like to have several killing/escape mechanisms, but my recommendation is to think by yourself and explore the game. By the way, Ashenzari does NOT require the binding of any particular slot. --CommanderC 22:04, 25 June 2013 (CEST)
