Seriously?

I've pricked 'em with branded daggers early game as a DEWi...
Granted, I had some AC those times.

Or: make them drain MP temporarily, on kill your MP is restored. Like Flayed Ghosts do with HP right now?

With the farewell of branded arrows'n bolts, launcher ammo is kinda pointless especially because arrows are common early while bolts not, which makes crossbow starts unfunny difficult. This is also a beef to centaurs & friends, they will never run out of ammo (which they almost always don't in m...

Give centaurs (&& / ||) yaktaurs spikes. Currently the no-brain way to deal with them is to close ASAP, even with pure casters, then they're harmless and can be killed even with a +2 branded dagger.

Stop making this game even more impossible (especially for pure-caster types, stairs are frequently the only survival option for them early game) just for forum likes.

There were a lot of redundant bolt/projectile damage spells with a lot of range so pure caster backgrounds left at the 100% mercy of RNG/Gods to find stronger spells had much higher chances of finding something to kill monsters before they got in meele range and annihilated their no-defence asses. N...

Somebody clever made an account 'kuniqs' on http://webzook.net. Started a DDFi game there during the time I was on a mega-streak. I guess the purpose was to trash the character and ruin my streak without me even knowing about it. I have no clue who the admin there is so please somebody either give m...

It clearly says He "accepts your kill". Is this a bug or a feature?

I like OP's proposal - spellcasting tabber sounds fun!

At least it's not *yet another* race proposal with -1 to everything to make it "balanced".

The bonus damage from brand/enchantment is constant, whereas base damage is fluid and rather hard to calculate on the fly, so why not automatise it?

I don't want to show the damage dealt to a monster, I want an approximation of the maximum base damage dealt with a weapon, without enchantment or brand, including Fighting, Str and weapon skill, as a useful heuristic to compare weapons.

If it's possible to estimate PC's base damage while creating ghosts or Mara's illusion, it's also possible to show the player the same stat while viewing a weapon he's carrying.

Make Makhleb's active abilities into passives by making them autotrigger rarely, like Ru's. It would fit with the chaotic theme of Makhleb.

Just make the player spawn on top of a portal to the next Pan level.

* a much broader solution - which probably should be addressed in a specific topic: let all the gods' powers bypass racial restrictions, resolving this messy situation with all the problematic powers. I would go the other way: don't let any gods' powers bypass racial restrictions. No potion petitio...

And it makes zero difference in practice, so?

Gnolls++ are just yet another species who are encouraged more than others to abuse Statue Form to not be annoying. Do we really need more of these?

Saw their +10% MP mutation and though it would fit.

This request is just a "quality of life" improvement. Demigods are one of the least played races, I think giving them MP regen at lvl 13 (not stackable with amulet of MP regen) would make this race a little bit more attractive and it isn't a big buff anyway. TBH I'd just give them stackabl...

Found a wand of scattershot? Time to push Evocations to 6-8 and Lerny becomes free XP.

In practice DD has +0% HP aptitude since 95% of the time you're not at full HP.

When pressing '@' the game should display the maximum amount of "!" you can get i.e. approximation of your possible max. damage. We have such approximation with spellpower, and the game already displays the "!" every time you hit. Also, examining the weapon in question should dis...

Remove spells from player ghosts, cut their damage in half and give no XP for killing them.

The real reason why sword of jihad got renamed was not because muslims were annoyed. It was because you were annoyed. Now we're having the same situation.

lol pressing '4' till a paperdoll disappears is like brutal murder to you?

I really like the concept of the Demihuman from the future. You don't even have to change the abbreviation.

The problem I see with the current mutation system is that mutations can be divided into 2 categories: discrete and gradual. Gradual mutations are annoying/beneficial, but not very game changing (-2 to stat, stat deterioration, 1/2 AC etc.) but discrete ones are so bad that I don't try to 'game' 0.2...

What is the exact formula for triggering an auxiliary attack in 0.20? I'm interested in particular in the bite attack, both for VS and Vp (assuming it works different for VS than for other races with bite).

Rename Silent Spectre in Trog's Depths vault to a unique "Librarian Spectre"
Because.

You have to herd your orcs, ensure that your wizards and priests are killed because they're fairly useless in the long run, raise and protect warriors that already have good items so that your gifts can be spent to round them out in other directions, and all around play some micromanagement minigam...

Is Heroism allowed?

Instead of "go upstairs" and "go downstair" commands there should be just one "use stairs" command.

Replace all permafood with pizza.

I approve OP.

Summoner's book is a bit too weak; Lightning Spire blows Ice Beasts out of the water.

Let Summoners have some fun!

Just give DD innate heal-on-kills, like, half the power of Makhleb's.

I'd hate to see the race go, since it's good at teaching players good habits. My idea: recycle the old "victory dancing" skill training system; you have fixed, level-dependant experience pool, and you can distribute it among skills by using those skills - so wearing heavy armour and using ...

A race that improves skill apts in skills it has trained the most?

The most survivable race for a Chaos Knight is Vine Stalker IMO. The bonus regeneration helps a lot to avoid making Xom BORED.

Couldn't Zot Defence be reused for his?

Use it with species w' auxiliary attacks for double the fun!

Dmisl appears to be tailored to Deep Elves and Spriggans imo.

Staff of Dispater might as well shoot lasers, dunno. If I can kill Dispater, I'm done with the game already.

I'm talking about a random, findable item, not something that is obtained precisely at the point when it's not needed for anything.

Mmm... Rod of Hellfire, I'd like to see that in Crawl sometime.

rF++ is good in Zot for obvious reasons, and almost every mage trains charms to make use of the endless stupid buff spells, so Ring of Flames is a rather easy spell for fire elementalist to make use of IMO change it to Conjurations/Fire, 'cause it's supposed to be used to buff spellpower and deal da...

The only time food matters in crawl is when you want to swap a vampiric weapon or when you're overberserking early-game (middle and late game you're so strong you don't need berserk) or when you're abusing spells with low Spellcasting. Food is cool, but chunks are tedious and by rune branches I have...

see above

Being annoying is kinda the point of Crimson Imps, isn't it?

Reduce large shields' required no-penalty level to 20, so they're actually usable in 3-rune games.
