Celebestel III

... is somehow down to DL80 (!!!) / CL 48. She has 600 life (yes, it dropped from some equipment changes), almost 400 spell points, +23 base speed (+33 when she uses her Staff of Speed, which is faster than Morgoth) and resistances to everything that can be resisted except Chaos.

A couple of levels back I pulled out a spreadsheet and figured out the 'best' equipment for her needs, from everything she was wearing or had stashed. I think I've done that twice now? This deep in the dungeon, those resistances are essential, even at the cost of other things. Not having to worry about actual attack stats (she hasn't intentionally hit anything for 70 levels) is very freeing.

She has killed 71 unique monsters, including five Ringwraiths (including Khamul, one of only two with an actual canonical name!). She routinely takes on Great Wyrms of various elements, which as far as I know are the strongest non-unique dragons. Her Mana Storm spell averages 400 damage, when most uniques are around 4000 health.

But for all that, she is still incredibly fragile, and there are many things in Angband that could kill her in two hits. I just have to make sure they don't get them.

Wish list... hasn't changed, I think. I found another light source, but it was the Star of Elendil and only added See Invisible, which she natively has. Poison resistance is still a ring. The only artefacts she's currently using are her weapon (Theoden's axe), bow (Belthronding), light source (Phial of Galadriel), and armour (Isildur's). Would a Ring of Power be too much to ask...?
