Celebestel III
... is still not dead! She's at DL69 / CL43, and has just killed Tevildo, Prince of Cats, to claim the Dragon-Helm of Dor-lomin, which is apparently so unutterably cool that it significantly reduces my stealth because all the monsters are coming to look.
She's doing quite well in terms of resistances: she resists everything that can be resisted except Nether and Disenchantment. That won't help against raw magic, which a worrying number of things can hit her with.
She also has a nice high Constitution, meaning she currently has 639 maximum life. Against the type of raw-magic-casting monsters I've been seeing, that means she can take a hit.
One hit.
Her usual battle tactic is to haste herself (to Speed +20) and cast Resistance (for extra protection against common elements), use either a Rod or Staff of Slow Monster(s), and then hit whatever's coming at her with either Mana Bolt, or a wand of Drain Life (which she can recharge). She has a quite nice spell Thrust Away, which flings back a single monster that has caught up with her, but it's still over 30% failure rate. And of course, really scary stuff gets Teleport Other to the face.
Her wish-list right now is an improved light-source (currently she has the Phial of Galadriel, which every character gets by about DL20), Poison resistance on something other than a ring (which would let her swap in a Ring of +9 Speed), and any artefact ring, cloak, or gloves. Oh, and she'd quite like to kill Morgoth and retire, buuut we know how that goes.
