What was my previous best? It looks like Irimë II, who hit Dungeon Level 66/100, Character Level 44. Well, today, we are

Gribblins II, Kobold Rogue

... who has just entered DL 69 and is at CL 46.

Huh, Irimë II was also a rogue; apparently I'm good with the sneaky sorts.

Gribblins (who was only meant to be a brief diversion, hence the name) is all about the Recharge spell. She has four staffs of speed and one of healing; and when she uses them up, she casts Recharge and refills them. So far I've only had one explode on me.

Her equipment isn't great. She's wearing Wormtongue's shoes, which have the very nice property of trap immunity, and a range of other stuff, but I have a shield and helmet up in my house that I really want to switch to. Trouble is, my current shield is the only source of Hold Life I've found, so I have to keep it until I can replace it.

Her base speed is +15, or +25 by using one of her renewable staffs. She also has a set of rods of slow monster, so basically everything ends up slower than her... and her boots give her +1 Moves, which means she runs twice as fast as her speed should let her. Nothing can catch her, even without her Teleport Self spell.

She's currently wielding a giant axe named Mundwine, which does over 300 damage per turn against anything evil. As a Kobold she's naturally resistant to poison, and her cloak can be activated to give her doubled resistance against the common elements. Her main issue is her low health; she only has 650 HP, and some monsters here can do half that in one hit.

But still: DL 69! That's pretty good going, and I hope she can go further - if she's careful.
