Do you use !Heroism? That cures fear, and more importantly, it gives
you a huge leg up in difficult battles. Your AC goes up by 10, and
your to hit bonus goes up by 10. So fighting bullroarer or brodda or
whatever goes from being scary to being easy. Later on, things don't
get easy, but you still need all the help you can get.
For blindness, use CSW early, it's cheaper. And get to a depth where
you can afford CCW. If it's darkhounds, just fight it out with the
blinders, then rest. And try to avoid them completely, if you can.
