Some things easier than they might be, some thing harder than they need to be.

If I've built up a good character, especially armor-class-wise, and step on a polymorph trap and turn into something that wrecks it, I will generally quit right there. If I'm feeling rebellious I will gather everything I can in one pile, take off everything and perhaps put it in a box, and let something kill me to leave a very nice bones level. Takes too much time to replace that, too uncommon to find magic resistance, and after many many many years of playing I find the beginning of the game more fun anyway.

Maybe because when I first started there were only 25 levels.


I've quit playing the game for periods of time over this. I'd rather it be an instadeath than just gutting my game.
