I really miss being able to play a SpEn backstabber. It was the highlight of my DCSS experience. Such a fun, if slightly overpowered, combo. Then they took invisibility out of the enhancer starting book.

I started replaying DCSS last week after a hiatus of about two years, SpEn is one of my go-to backgrounds and it's still quite fun IMO. You can worship Dithmenos to get increased stealth. It's not as OP as invisibility but it's still quite fun once you get your stealth to a high level.

It's still viable even without invisibility. Petrify, Ensorcelled Hibernation, Uskayaw and Dithmenos are still there.

My last win was an Spriggan Venom Mage that could backstab poison resistant enemies with a +11 artefact dagger.
