Flying only reduces the damage of af_elec attacks, so elec brand weapons and electric golem/sixfirhy melee. IIRC it reduces af_elec damage by 1/3rd, just like rElec. If you are flying and have rElec, then af_elec will be reduced by 2/3rds and other elec damage by 1/3rd. It probably works different f...

I won a DgNe once and I swung a weapon over ten thousand times, hth.

I just wanted add my support for dpeg's suggestion of ensuring the minotaur vault doesn't touch the border of the map. It seems to take 2-4x longer to solve these labyrinths.

I would suggest looking at the source code of crawl rather than the wiki if you want an accurate source.

Carrying more than the maximum recommended weight is usually a bad idea. Monsters are well-known for trying to kill the player, and the 'Burdened' status can really despike your combat ability. Many new players make this mistake, but I hope you are able to avoid unwanted and avoidable deaths like th...

With 17 armour, you could put on a ring of wizardry and wear plate armour and still cast all your spells relatively well.

I think the same is likely to happen if you make weapon damage actually depend on str: if you are using a small weapon you wouldn't bother raising str because it still wouldn't do much (just like you don't raise int for translocation spells) but if you are using an exec axe you probably would (just...

Don't be afraid of Cerebov, he isn't immune to Fire Storm I know, which is why I said most immune (in comparison to the other three lords) rather than immune. Still, my Firestorm should currently only do 180 / 2 * 0.45 = 40 damage on average to him, which would require around 16 castings at 8 MP ea...

SPELLS: Amnesia magic dart, mephitic cloud, and static discharge (and possibly iood). Memorize poisonous cloud and poison arrow, the latter is far superior to iood in every way: it is more accurate, it costs less food, it doesn't require multiple turns to hit a target, it costs less mp, etc. EQUIPME...

Oddysee wrote:Thanks. I'm curious as to what the error effects in-game?

Nothing. It's a lua file that was used in older versions, but is no longer used. When the options file is loaded, it looks for the file but can't find it and gives you an error message, but nothing bad happens.

Now I feel dumb. Thank you very much. One more thing, I started playing, then saved and exited and when I continued that game this message came up: Lua error: Can't find "lua/pickup.lua" Any ideas? You need to edit your options file. To do this, press o if you are playing 0.10, or T then ...

I wouldn't advise going in there without rC+ at a minimum. That vault is full of hydra simulcra which can deal up to 52 damage *per head* (14 dmg + 13-38 cold dmg). One pip of cold resist will halve the cold damage, making them a bit easier to deal with. Wands of fire and fireball come in handy here.

Spell success is always more important than spell hunger.

How can TSO render your summoned divine allies stay permanently? In the description for Summon Divine Warrior it is said "They may be blessed by the Shining One to stay longer or even permanently in this world." When they kill stuff they get to stick around longer. edit: but not permanent...

Instead of pressing 5 to search for doors, press 010s. 0 repeats a command, so 010s searches for 10 turns. This way you don't waste a bunch of food and turns.

Pain brand a dagger and use all your enchant weapon scrolls on it. The only things pain weapons don't work on are undead, demons, holy beings, and stuff with rN which there aren't many of, and you have other ways to deal with them (dispel undead, summoning). You can turn off summoning, stabbing, spe...

I'm looking for configurations, not habits, to resolve the issue. In trunk you can set 'autofight_stop' to an HP percentage threshold. Once you reach it, it will print the message 'You are too injured to fight blindly!!' and prevent you from using autofight at all. I have it set at 50, and it seems...

i had a game with trog but i found it boring, plus ive found amulets of rage in my other games where i diddnt play with trog, making him somewhat useless. which god do you guys think would compliment Ogre Hunters? Berserk isn't the only reason to worship Trog. Brothers in Arms, weapon gifts, and Tr...
