Its the only character I managed to get a 15 runes win (But thats more due to me being a mediocre player at best).

Or Gargoyle Fighter with 1h mace and shield (shitload of usefull intrinsics for free on this guy, the only problem is a lower than usuall hp). For other easy combos you could try the usuall Minotaur Fighter with 2h axes. Also, gives weapon gifts and he will probably be your source of quickblade and other usefull weapons. God: Trog, no other way to be a berserker, but he gives decent abilities, and even some summoned help later on. Its the reason why you play Kobolds as berserkers. There is no penalty for being engorged, and its a vital strategy to allow you to berserk at any time. Tip: Always eat chunks untill you are engorged.

Transmuter will do just as well - better, because it's exactly different, while the other is not. After all, what justification is there for a background which is simply the combination of some others? A background contains its combinations in itself.'' It isn't only the races, there are also the backgrounds. Of course the great wastage is in the monsters and the spells, but there are hundreds of characters that can be got rid of as well. ''It's a beautiful thing, the removing of content. His thin dark face had become animated, his eyes had lost their mocking expression and grown almost dreamy.
