Just now my 40 hp stalker naga got killed by an Ogre in two hits. In Nethack the answer was always to pray, but in this game I don't even get a god until later. I don't know of any recourse available to me. Time and time again, I find myself standing next to some random orc in full health, hacking away, and then after a series of bad rolls I get a low hitpoints warning while the orc is fine, and at this point I either have a heal potion/ teleport scroll or I'm dead. I think my chief problem is that there's so few options available for survival in the early game. I've personally have never gotten a rune with a stabber character (but I'm not that good a player). Based on my experience though, once you get to late-mid game though your lack of options really starts to wear on you. This isn't a problem in the early game and mid-game because that kobold probably can't one-shot you and a lot of mid-game guys are vulnerable to sleep / paralysis and the like and even with a dagger will go down in a couple of hits. I don't think stabbing got weakened, what I was trying to say and maybe didn't say well is that stabbing is hard to run end game because you are a "one-shot wonder." The stabby-stabby will drop things all over the place the problem is that if you miss / fail to proc a stab, you're done for. It was hard to start up, but once he got going he's going great thus far. Just go around either sleeping->stabbing or invis->stabbing. Must say he's my most successful character yet. I just started following the spriggan enchanter guide on the dungeon crawl wiki.
