"You crush the shining eye like a grape!!!"

Obtained in Sprint 1 with a berserk ogre wielding a giant club. The best part is that shining eyes are purple. =D

There's some green stuff on the ground in tiles to help locate them. I never had any trouble clearing them. It certainly didn't ever took me anything close to 5k. But D8 seems shallow for them. Maybe that's why the OP had some trouble with them. I'm aware of the mold covering the ground in tiles. W...

I don't know how the game decides when to start spawning OOD monsters, but it seems to me that if you're running around killing things, it should realize that you're not just stalling for time. It's based entirely on how many turns you've spent on the level. 5k turns is about the point where you ge...

It doesn't seem so terribly unreasonable to me. Follow my logic for a bit. Humans are medium-size. In a medieval setting, they're probably five-and-a-half feet tall. Halflings are small, and are half the size of humans (duh). They average out to be a little under three feet tall. Spriggans are tiny,...

From the learnDB on transmutation miscasts: By severity: 1: 1-11 damage or random uselessness. 2: 3-25 damage, 0-18 glow, paralysis, or confusion. 3: 3-20 dmg AND 0-34 glow, 5-27 dmg AND delete mutation, 5-27 dmg AND 1-2 bad mutations. Glow had nothing to do with it. You were (un)fortunate enough to...

Characters aiming for Cheibriados will undoubtedly find an incredibly useful weapon... of speed. Uh...so what? speed brand on weapons just makes their attack speed higher, I don't think Che cares about how fast you attack, just how fast you move. Cheibriados dislikes weapons that are unnaturally fa...

The commit message for Finesse says: Okawaru: Haste -> Finesse. A double speed boost (rather than mere 1.5x), but affects only combat (melee and ranged). This is a part of Okawaru's nerf. The ability doesn't need as much victory dancing of Invocations. The new Okawaru is looking pretty good. A low-l...

I usually stash things on Lair:1, but if I collect enough stuff early on (without having to use it), I'll start my stash in the Temple and move it to the Lair later. As for organization, well, there isn't much to speak of. Everything goes into a pile 1 square from the entry staircase, unless there a...

Generally? You don't put points into Str or Dex. You put them into Int, for reduced spell hunger costs and better spell success rates.

If you'd decided to follow Trog, or wanted to wear armor so heavy you'd have no chance of casting spells, only then would I suggest picking something besides Int.

Recently, I had a fairly successful OgSt (the trunk Stalker, to be precise). It's actually pretty nice if you ignore the stealth part, with a +2 club, a cloak, Fulsome Distillation, and Evaporate. The skills are alright, too. I was pretty lucky in the early game, to be fair. I snagged a whip of pain...

I'm a fan of Purgy, myself. I can't help but feel bad about killing him, because his story is so sad. (I also like him for the early shot at troll leather armor, which makes things even sadder. <.<) Crazy Yiuf is also great, especially if you can confuse him for long periods of time. Also, he's a go...

Always ID your potions, scrolls, and wands. Better to waste a healing potion than to not know what healing potions are when you're poisoned. Remember that you have potions, scrolls, and/or wands. If something's too hard for you, use more potions, scrolls, and wands. You have all the time in the worl...

Randarts with *Rage are similar to berserkitis. Randarts with +Rage allow you to evoke rage. It's a small, but very important, distinction.

I'd prefer to keep conjurers, and distinguish them more from elementalists. For one thing, there are skill differences, which make some races better suited to one or the other. As an example, kenku have such a high conjurations aptitude that they can raise Conjurations to level 6 off of their starti...

My favorite vault would probably be the gnoll fortress (I assume that is considered a vault right?) Many of the vaults in the game are primarily aesthetic and do not offer much difference in how the game is played. The gnoll fortress is different in that it presents a significant challenge to overc...
