Crawl is all I've been playing recently, but I never get very far. My best characters have usually been Merfolk Crusaders, but my other favorite race/class combos are a bit eclectic. I like hybrid characters, so my typical classes are Crusader, Death Knight, Transmuter, and Stalker. The other races that I play most are Ogre (gets an extra strength increase), Kobold (levels quick, great with ranged weapons), and Draconian (randomness of type adds to interest, plus good at all weapon types). Occasionally I will play a Troll Berserker for my own amusement.
If you want to make a fighter-type into a mage, you have to practice spellcasting skill by reading scrolls until you hit level 1 in it, and then you start getting spell slots when you level. After that, you may memorize spells and go from there. I've never had the patience to do it on a regular basis, so I stick to hybrids and the occasional mage. I have 2 characters in the works at the moment, an Ogre Transmuter and a Draconian Death Knight. I'll be sure to let you all know when and how they die.
