Looking for advice on defending against bandits as a pure-casting cleric. I'm guessing:
:: Crit padding as much as possible to protect against the ambushers
:: Spell tank
:: Hunt with a partner as often as possible
Is there anything specific I can train in to offset the traps and ambushers? These are the two areas that tend to smear me into a fine paste.

Thank you Doug, great to see you as well brother!
And thank you to everyone in general!
I looked at the Nymph's training plan and in general, the idea of hunting bandits isn't going to work in the immediate future. I'm sacrificing a ton of things so she can have 130 at 30 and 225 at 25 (personal reasons, never had them, always wanted them).
Current plan-
:: Hunt until 35
:: Master Sunfist
:: Stock up on enhancives (I suddenly have a reason to care about them, never really have before)
:: Ditto alchemy bits and scrolls
Training-
:: I keep her 1x in Physical for stamina already
:: 1x in Perception (reasonably cheap)
:: 1x Survival (good for the AG anyway)
And then-
:: Resume bandit tests
- Kevin, woo!

>Have you made the acquaintance of skelly ice trolls yet? Its really not that difficult to advance in GoS at level 26 when you can throw fireballs around in a trench.
...I have not. The Nymph isn't in fireball-throwing range yet (ages ago apparently I killed off her Spell Aim, and now I want it back for a variety of reasons). But yes. Those sound delightful. For the first time in my on-again-off-again decade-long career of Gemstone, I'm playing on a desktop with a keyboard number pad. My.. hunting.. ability.. oh god...
>thousand yard stare
... has improved tremendously, so I may be able to handle them without fire for the time being.
- Kevin is ridiculously terrible at this game.

>1x SA might well be enough. They are rather heat sensitive.
It isn't enough to hit them. My dex is low due to changing my mind about what I wanted Nixxi to be when she grew up (oh god the pain), but the area is so rich with creatures she'll have plenty of time there once she fixes this pesky "low spell aim" problem
- Kevin hates you all.
