I suppose I kinda have to put this one up; after completing the Downs, the Orc Cave and two relic quests, it's pretty much official. My eighteenth active character (as though I needed another one...), a Beorning Warper using Bearform combat. The strategy is to use the Essence of Speed spell to offset the speed penalty of bear form. So far it seems to be working; with EoS up and Explor set to 'running', my unencumbered speed in bear form is +10 (+13 now with Thalkettoth). This does mean, however, that switching to combat mode is a multi-step process. [I tend to imagine it being like those power-up sequences from the old `70s kiddy cartoons: "By the power of What's-his-name, I totally have the power! Accelerate to hyper-speed! Like, transform into bear form!" ROAAAR! :-} ] My mana regeneration rate is good enough by now that I can usually keep EoS going more or less full time in bear form -- though losing it in the middle of a protracted fight is annoying. Went with Manwe for the eventual speed boost.

I'm retiring this character temporarily to do another DitL (yeah, I know, I'm crazy); once that's done, for better or worse, I'll restart this guy.
