Fair point. Let me bug you with a few more questions, though

Mmm, never had someone go through that much to try and take me out, but I'll keep that in mind. I imagine this stuff happens more in the higher levels?

Heh, I already have a bunch of aliases set up, I'll be sure to add this one. Can you use teleportation potions when you can't use the supplication?
>4. When possible, try to carry a "not insignificant" amount of >gold on your person for sitautions where your own healing >ability doesn't cut it.
I'll do that. I've noticed that, when curing others, sometimes it can take quite a few attempts to break it. What determins that, the skill of the inflicter, or...?
>5. Keep stuff like sanctuary, protection, flight, protective >shield, and detect invisible active as often as you can.
My biggest issue here is mp--I tried this once, and I tend to burn through it quickly and most supplications don't seem to last too long. More on this in a bit. I do always keep detect invis, good, and evil up, and sometimes protection. The first three let me know if I need to run at a glance. Heh.
>6. If you use "word of recall" to escape someone, assume that >he's heading to your recall point as quickly as possible. >Ideally you want to be elsewhere when he arrives.
Only recently obtained this ability, I'll keep that in mind.

That's good know. Looking through the abilities of a healer, it looks like there're some rather nice defenses down the road, and some now even. Could you elaborate a little on this, though? Never hurts to know one's weaknesses--e.g., what circumstances allow for a successful assassination, what does worldbind do, and such?
My biggest problem when someone attacks is usually that I don't have much mp to work with. e.g., if I'm with a group in a crypt and a necromancer decides to jump us, my biggest problem isn't that I can't undo whatever he does to the party, but that I only have 30% (though I try to keep it as high as possible...) or so to work with and, if a supplication fails, it can hurt a lot at that point. On the other hand, being with a group usually means I'm a bit safer, and given a healer's fighting ability, I do prefer that.
Any thoughts, or additional advice? And thanks for the tips you've given so far
