Hi crawlers! Here’s what’s new in trunk:
- The Lava Orc species has been removed.
- Player clinging (seen only in Spider Form and with the boots of the Spider) is no more.
- Kobolds, hill orcs, and ogres are no longer saprovorous.
- Ogres no longer have a fast metabolism.
- Silver statues and orange crystal statues are immune to disintegration, but have less health and AC and have their abilities converted to spells such that they spam less; this implies OCS confusion can be resisted.
- Bog bodies no longer randomly rot.
- Removed monsters: shedu, plague shamblers.
- New unrand: the +8 orange crystal plate armour {Archmagi, Int+3 Clar SustAb}
- Potions of blood cure a point of ghoul rotting.
- Removed unrands: the boots of the Spider.
- Decks of wonders now contain Dowsing, Battlelust, Helm, and Shadow instead of Experience, Helix, Sage, and Trowel.
- Decks of dungeon are no more.
- The Potion card has a new list of effects: power 0 is decay/curing/agility/ might/brilliance; 1 has a chance of resistance/haste; 2 has a chance of magic/heal wounds.
- Removed cards: Experience, Sage, Water, Vitrification, Trowel, Minefield, and Shuffle.
- Zin’s Recite no longer prompts for a book, instead affecting all monsters in sight with the strongest effects that would impact them.
Happy crawling!

Why remove their saprovore mutation? Also what will you do with Nemelex, it feels as if you’re continually removing options from him

Yeah just curious what the thought was behind removing saprovore? Doesn’t this effectively make halflings and kobolds a bit redundant to one another?

Is it just me, or does this feel like “too many nerfs”?
