Hey Nat -
What do you guys think about res scrolls? http://www.angelsofhell.com/lol.html
Shame that there aren't many players left - but i think the new game if dead is a good rule if you are looking for some sort of penalty, but if you aren't all that serious about it, your res solution seems like a good one. Another good rule i think that isn't fofund in the link is the coop restriction of (+-) 5 lvls of your own, including use of repair and staff recharge skill.
Bessaaf(mslol) - sorcerer - mortal and superstiously living off the land
The mortal lives!~ lvl 9 from one session - cleared 1 and 2 (including butcher with a fbt staff), most of 3, including leo (with a hb staff), killed a few foes on 4, and a few on 5 before the resources were low.
The kicker of course is that i found 7 staves in 3 dlvls! - fbt, 2xh, 2xhb, tp, cb - a nice little start in which i also picked up a ring of magic +10. My good luck makes up for nat's bad luck who didn't find a book until he was lvl 6 or something and then 3 of the first 4 were healing :).
As for strategy - i tired to bow as much of dlvl 1 and 2 as possible - burnt a cb staff to get rid of nasty corpse bow packs on lvl 2 - burnt an fbt staff on butcher (stair trap), burnt other cb staves and hb staff on 3 (there were horrors and they were scary) - used about 10 small blues on 2,3,4,5 before deciding enough was enough. Can't help with stat points yet as i've not added any.
PS - Toverkol - it is a shame that tll-1 is as dead as it has become, you should try searching for Nat and I on us east gateway diablo le - it very well may match your graveyard shift hours.
