I wish all the 'tactical' consumables to vanish, because after d:5 or so they're delegated into "puts you into too much unecessary risk" category, and thus never used again.

Clustering illusion, I guess.

For example, I always get the useless Iskenderun wizlab, despite the fact that I play spelless like 95% of the time.

None. None more slaying.

Seriously, is there a cap on how much slaying you can get?

Ray of Enfeeblement, because nostalgia.

Also, instead of Device Surge Pakellas worshippers get passive wand power boost, depending on piety.

Drop no-mp restoration, make charging wands cost piety, effectiveness on both recharging and surge should depend on Evocation/Invocation skill.

Alternatively, drop recharging and make Pakellas sometimes recharge your wand slightly when you kill something with that wand.

Make Device Surge work on wands only?

I think that HO should be removed entirely. 1. Beogh is boring and a little bit "offending". 2. 'Tolkien's lore, blablabla, HE-removal's reasoning". 3. HO don't have any interesting racial specialities. I think that mutually-exclusive things like races and gods don't need to be remov...

I hope "game design" doesn't permanently devolve to shitposts like this

I've got idea from Desktop Dungeons: since we have piety gain from exploration, how about hp gain from exploration?

Remove extended

What religion allows you to brand your butterknife with demon-slaying powers?

I always though about TSO in crusader terms, not islamic. I was looking at it from a westerner's point of view, though.

Make Finisher apply an "Aged" status that works like draining but on everything.

Could just be per enemy, not carrying over to a different enemy when you attack them.

That was my intention.

Spells deal ranged damage.

Give PC +1 slaying for each one (two/three...) consecutive turn he spends attacking an enemy.

You can cheese this god by abandoning one of the good gods, or Xom.

The Unique screams "No, no!" before exploding in a fountain of gold!

So OP suggests replacing (base weapon damage * {Str-10}/39}]) with ({Str-10}/2}). Basically all weapons will be treated as triple sword in old formula. Why is it better? Because the current formula is a little too complicated, and Dex is a no-brainer for SB users? Dex is currently a no-brainer anyw...

Instead of a %-based formula for increasing base weapon damage by Str which no one really understands, simplify it so: - your weapon's base damage is increased by 1 for each 2 points of Str above 10. - above bonus can't be higher than base damage (so QB gets max. 5 bonus at 20 Str, GSC max. 22 bonus...

C'mon, it's *FUN*!

Skill cap makes little difference considering 14 is the skill level required, more or less, to win the game (14 in Fighting/Weapon/Dodging/Armour + Evocations). With +2, you can expect to hit the cap with all 5 skills around your 1st rune.

1. Pick up all nets,
2. Throw net on adjacent panlord while standing adjacent to stairs,
3. Step on stairs,
4. Go upstairs. Adios!

Cast it on your ancestor if you follow Hep.

crappy?

Despite being optional, game is still balanced around it.

If you decide to apport the rune, it means you can't just kill the guards. Therefore, making Zot5 harder will only make the game harder for non-usuall combos like spellcasting Trolls and such, something I don't wanna see happen. Extended is optional so I don't see the point of balancing the game aro...

With high Fighting and weapon skill you can kill multiple tentacled monstrosities, so? You get free HP, too.

Pretty much no summoning spells are worth anything. Better use of your xp would be learning conjurations or weapon skills.

Books pick up like runes and when memorizing spells, the game offers you a list of books you picked up, just like if you had them all in inventory at that moment.

Without luring, many weak combos would be very luck-dependant.

Solution to luring: don't lure.

For me, the biggest problem with Silence is that it's a 5th level doubleschool spell, one which helps you against monsters with usually low hp - the ones which are easy to kill without Silence anyway. Not much use unless you're trying to win a Deep Elf fighter class or smth.

As I said many times before: balancing the game around extended is pointless, stupid and a much better idea is to just remove the Hells, Pandemonium, the Abyss, Ziggurats and anything else that makes infinite XP/consumables possible.

Purification removes slow BTW

FYI ziggurats are really fucking boring after the first 3 or so.

I wish the devs would remove extended already instead of torturously balancing the game around it.

I used to play a lot VS^Ely: 1) Train Invocations to 9. More helps, but really not much. Greater Healing at Invo 9 heals the same amount HP (on average) as a /oHW. 2) Lesser Healing costs 0-1 piety, so you can spam it. 3) The life protection ability is instant - I used it a lot in Tomb, since you ca...
