Wise words of wisdom.
Aaaanyways, I'm gonna make another challenge suggestion myself...
Angel of Silence:
You have a little problem. You're deaf-mute. To counterweight this lacking, your other senses have developed more than usual, but unfortunately, you can't hear a thing. At all.
Advantages: Your sight range is increased slightly.
Disadvantages: Anything that would generate a sound remains completely silent.
And believe me, remaining alert to the sounds that lurk by the dungeon can be quite a lifesaver sometimes. Each monster has a characteristic growl that helps you know what is waiting for you behind the door you're about to open, and also, if shooting a monster that is beyond your range of sight/Intuition, you won't know if you have hit it or even killed it. It can quite disrupt your tactics if you are not careful.
Thoughts?

Am I the only person that turns sounds off, entirely, when he plays DoomRL?
I listen to music instead. >_>

ah, that makes me reminisce again, back to the days when i'd play doom until the wee hours of the night wired on caffeine and when i'd try to sleep i'd still be hearing the roars and wails and death-rattles of demons. but to answer your question, i wouldn't singlehandedly besiege hell itself with headphones on. forewarned is forearmed :P
Sachiko:
Indeed. I can't count the many times that hearing to the growls of the demons has helped me keep myself alert and capable of making a winning tactic.
For example, if I get close to a corner and I hear something like "Grrrrr... bark!", I know that there's a mancubus waiting for me, so I'll give him a fistful of rockets as a welcoming gift. I hear like someone's munching or grunting like a pig? Meh! Another former human! A bit of boomstick will make short work of him!
Keeping your ears open is a good way to be a step forward, both in the original game and in DoomRL.
Poochie:
Angel of Certainity:
You hate chance, you hate games of chance, you hate dice so much that you crush them when you see them. As a result your guns do (either average or max) damage and you are guaranteed to hit. However this also applies to your enemies.
This would make HR, EE and probably some other traits worthless, but it might be fun for an attempt.
