A little more on deciding who to mainly follow on a given run. Dressing like a class can be very handy in general, especially if you are following that deity since it will get you piety with them. Here's a link to the dress codes and their effects

So early game one of the things you're going to want to do first is figure out what kinds of shoes and headgear are what. If you find pointed slippers are either jump boots or speed boots then even if you're not following him you may want to dress like a wizard for the benefits it brings. Likewise if both riding boots and a feathered helm are good types then dressing like a barbarian so you can move diagonally is a big boon. But if you're using magic you'll have to be careful because making H'ruth happy through dress code makes you more vulnerable to punishment.

Also here's another fun thing you can do. In this run I started with a tome of electricity and then found a rapier. Drop it on the ground and cast a lightning spell over and it will turn into a lightning rapier with some charges. The more powerful the spell the more charges it imparts each time. When you attack with one and hit it uses a charge but you gain Quick status for a few rounds. That's super handy because not a lot of things give you Quick and it stacks with Fast from speed boots etc. Then also you can zap it like a wand which uses a lot of charges but shoots a lightning bolt. Since rapiers are fairly common you can make a bunch, I have two so far in this run I use one for attacking and the other as a back up wand for sticky situations.
