If you define easy by "reducing chance of stupid, inavoidable, unfun instant death" then yeah by all means ..

By far the easiest character to win with in regular Tome 2.3 is a lost soul death mold sorceror worshiping Melkor, with special rooms always on. It takes a while to learn how to move and use the death mold powers, but once you do it is trivial. Pick out rings from keyhole and checkerboard vaults- you will get speed, Nenya, and Vilya in no time. Kill some low level monsters to get a few levels and then pick out all the spellbooks. Add a few light armor pieces and level up- I like to kill druj. The rest of the game is trivial.

I did try alsmost exactly this char a few years ago (except never played Melkor!) I loved how it started off right in the depths in black and white dungeon levels, teleporting past lvl 33 monsters then finding a lvl 7 and going up 3 levels straight away. It was more like playing chess than anything else but I only tried it twice and didn't succeed. I might try this again with Melkor on my laptop rather than my phone just for fun.

That's odd. It still works fine for me (just clicked it to test. Not cached, it just loads fine). Almost all of the old tome spoiler files can be found there, including Lord Dimwit's guide. Perhaps your, or that site's server's connection was hiccuping the moment you tried it.
I was really happy to find that link a while back.

Actually I got it working in the end! Thanks, it was this which convinced me to bin the Maia, a great resource, thought it was lost forever.

Ha, I think this has only happened to me twice in 20 years! Hey darkgod, thanks for all your work on these games, awesome.

Thats exactly what I meant. Not knocking it, just funny to remind myself how harsh T2 can be
