looking for advice on trying slash'em

New page

{{Forumheader|Watercooler}}



I'm giving Slash'em a try for the first time and was hoping to get some advice. I'm an experienced NetHack player, having ascended most roles. I'm not an expert - I wouldn't even know how to try for a foodless or illiterate conduct, but I know a few tricks. Obviously, there are a lot of new items, special levels and whatnot, but are there any fundamental differences that I should be aware of? What's a good class/race to start with? The majority of my NetHack ascensions were wizards, followed by valks, a couple monks and knights and the rest just 1 to do it. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks! -[[Special:Contributions/208.97.245.230|208.97.245.230]] 16:50, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
