Say, what if the bite damage is always somewhat equally relevant?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AsKF0KRvqPwidGlVaXZpMzNIclF5V2pSWW5kTUNnSXc&output=html [^]

"(mutlevel*3) + (mutlevel*3)*(xl/27)*(1+(str/30))" Seems to do the trick, and provides quite a bunch of knobs to turn instead of a single one.

Fixed the damn border.

Initially factoring in str was not so much a reasoned decision but more of a leftover from the original aux bite formula. It doesn't add much more than breakpoints.
In the current revision it is (mutlevel*3) + XL*2/3 which by and large seems be providing a good damage curve and allowing the bite to remain relevant (as the core mechanic to the race it is).
Numbers can (and likely will) be tweaked later down the road based on feedback on the strength of the bite, but as we stand right now it's good for testing purposes, it seems.

The reason I added strength in there is because I like strength affecting something beyond your weapon's damage, since it's in such an abstract form that it really ought to do so.

Added the squashed patch; sorry about not doing it before.

This is an experimental branch on CSZO now: T)runk -> X)perimental -> V)ine Stalker (or choose it from the webtiles lobby).

Copy pasting from tavern - sorry in advance for ugly code formatting.

- case WAND_HASTING: // each 17.9%, group unknown each 26.3%
         case WAND_HEAL_WOUNDS:
+ if (you.mutation[MUT_NO_DEVICE_HEAL])
+ w = 0; break;
+ case WAND_HASTING: // each 17.9%, group unknown each 26.3%
             w = 25; break;

Is this a bug? It looks like you don't assign w if you are not a vine stalker. Did you mean to put braces around the "w = 0; break;"? Sorry if this isn't the place for this, it just happened to catch my eye and its just subtle enough that I don't think it would be easily noticed.

Another couple files. vine-stalker-update has a few patches for issues I've been informed of: Now /HW should not be gray for VS when not identified; VS shouldn't get mana from summons or firewood; and the antimagic bite message has been tweaked for non-spellcasting creatures. vine-stalker-complete has everything from "Vine stalkers added" to the new patches, and has unneeded whitespaces removed--I used checkwhite incorrectly in the old patches. Sorry about that.

Another nerf. Postpone regen III until xl8, halve manavamp across the board, and a couple fixes for my errors.

Added vs.patch--I (hopefully) resolved conflicts, so it should be ready for trunk.
