One of the fantastic design choices in crawl (actually true for netball, too) is that it isn't balanced across all race+class combinations. Some are easy (mainly hack and slash power combos, like the gargoyle fighter) others are tough but trash you a lot about the game (tengu conjurer), and others are nigh impossible (mummy almost anything). If something is to easy, you can just choose to play a harder game, with less tolerance for mistakes. Eventually you start finding mistakes you weren't even aware of...
