Here is my proposal for a portal to replace labyrinths: as labyrinths but autoexplore is enabled, stops on finding minotaur vault

I got that image off of google image search but I remember one above tengen being a famous tesuji in a fairly old game so probably

Without storytelling at all, it would be a game of balancing arbitrary numbers and positioning arbitrary ASCII characters on a computer screen. It's not, it's a game of dungeon exploration and survival. You don't need to have hp bars and kobolds for a game to be about survival http://senseis.xmp.ne...

How would you feel if someone made a thread suggesting that the game ask for confirmation every time Conjure Flame is cast? After all, maybe they accidentally pressed the wrong key, and now Mennas is going to kill them, all because the spell-casting interface didn't prevent the player from making t...

I didn't have a specific person in mind and I am not going to defend anyone but I've noticed an occasional trend of people being unkind to other people who have less knowledge of the game (and/or are devs) I mean it's not hard to phrase advice in nonconfrontational ways (for example crate does this ...

The advice was bad but some of you guys are really mean sometimes

You open the door. A storm dragon and 2 black draconians come into view. The black draconian roars! The storm dragon roars! The black draconian breathes lightning at you. The bolt of lightning hits you! The bolt of lightning misses your quicksilver dragon. The black draconian breathes lightning at ...

The fact that nemelex is near the bottom seems to indicate that popularity has little to do with power

They don't actively prevent you from using autoexplore

Why is autoexplore disabled in labs?

By "alternative to magic" you appear to mean "magic that maybe doesn't use mp"

The current system is against the current goal of the game i.e. not being annoying

Whether or not to worship Okawaru is a big enough decision. Compare like Vehumet who has no active abilities. Choosing a God is a big enough decision that the actual gods can have pretty clear-cut and powerful abilities

The last time I played you had to get the abyssal rune before going through the portal thing on d(13?ish?) or it locked you out of some stuff including pan and hell I think

There's an x in the bottom right of the post

Contam on melee sounds absolutely terrible

how do you measure time after motion has stopped

I'm not saying those are the only 2 gods you can worship, I'm saying that those are the 2 go-to gods that most people SHOULD worship unless they have a particular synergy in mind. I don't agree with that at all. The only combos that I feel are very strongly disposed towards a particular god are Be,...

Chei is a weak god with no particular synergy with VM (except that Chei is least bad for casters and VM is pretty strong early.) Chei is certainly not the strongest choice on a VM,which depends on the character but here are some gods that are almost always going to be better: Makhleb, Nemelex, Kiku....

There are a number of reasons not to follow cheibriados as a vm, a number that is not coincidentally very near to the number of other gods that your character can worship

4thArraOfDagon called gourmand critical for a caster and that's my opinion too. Well for the way he plays his fire elementalists (which is go Sif and dive a lot), the removal of gourmand would certainly be a big nerf since both channeling and casting spells costs food - which is very limited when y...

You have all the "required" information. In fact you have all the important information in almost all cases. "Black boxes" are for things that don't matter very much

Slaying affects unarmed and armed combat equally as far as I know

Also it's good:

crate wrote:roughly +3 to-dam is +2 base damage for onehanders and +2 to-dam is +1 base damage for 2handers

Jason Todd is alive now or something

Edit: So is Stephanie Brown, and they have batman's son as the current robin I think

Damage is more than base damage + slaying bonuses. It's affected also by skills and stats, the former of which (at least) multiplies base damage but not slaying bonuses. This means that weapons with high base damage will do more damage than weapons with lower base damage but higher slaying bonuses. ...

I think I mistakenly levelled Int at one point, and my Dex looks a little low. Is there any way to tell what I've been levelling when levelling up? As I think I've been doing it wrong! MiBe starts with 4 int and doesn't gain it naturally, so you must have put 2 points into it. What do I do with the...

Locks in Adom aren't fun at all though

You can cast strong conjurations with mediocre conjurations skill and wizardry

By "strong conjurations" I mean ice storm btw

chei is a bad god for tengu (or anyone but especially tengu) ball lightning is immune to magic and has 1hp 0ac 10 ev: http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/bots : so you can throw rocks at them basically it seems dumb to me to learn a level 7 conjuration/air spell and not use any other conjurations. jus...

2:40 is exactly how I picture blade hands

Mottled dragon armour is really good, although obviously not for its resistance. It has 6 base ac (halfway between a robe and plate armour) but doesn't interfere with spellcasting or dodging (deep elves have good dex so this is important) much and doesn't need strength. It also lets you get some ret...

When was the last time a mechanical trap created an interesting tactical situation?

Now when was the last time a crossbow or blade trap forced you to stop autoexploring and hit 5 again?

meditate on this disparity and the the truth shall be revealed

Lajatangs are rare and speed branded weapons are rare so very rare

In numbers I don't know

?identify are worth more than ?rc so you should probably have just equip-id'd the sword instead and uncursed if necessary

You could summon brothers in arms and then kill it with them

also move this to yiuf

You can kite monsters with swiftness and a <1 delay attack with any weapon, it's just more annoying

ps. remove worms from the game pls

This means you need to clear the path from the orb chamber to the < which is more dangerous than orb spawns anyway so there's really no problem

Transmutations are supposed to have drawbacks. That's why they're not charms.

27 AC in dragon form, including a +5 ring of protection, so really 22 ac, at level 24. I just fail to see how that's enough to actually make the form useful Fire storm doesn't give you any AC either Which means that it gives MORE ac than dragon form, as dragon form takes away AC and EV. Because dra...

Fire storm doesn't give you any AC either

If the devs were willing to remove summoning magic they probably would have done it already

Should I stop developing fire magic If you have it developed enough to kill things efficiently with it and use the whip? You should use the whip when it is more efficient or effective than fire magic I want to do extended, should I aim for necromutation as well? No What amount of necromancy is requ...

I guess the idea is that melee water monsters can be easily killed with a +0 spear or ranged weapon at no danger unless they have submerge, like giant goldfish skeletons in that one kiku vault Whether that means the inclusion of the vitally important giant goldfish and the deadly and infamous jellyf...

Nemelex is broken but not because of xp cards really

You may want to switch eventually, but now isn't the time yet. I would wait until you at least had some source of rC+ to deal with the weakness from the FDA. Also train dodging up some before in any case (but don't train armour until you're ready to switch). That eveningstar is a very nice weapon fo...

Really?

There would be no real point in casting them because you would want to just equip something to verify the result anyway, or be cautious about every room anyway in case the result was wrong. Also they would be wastes of xp and spell levels anyway because you almost always get enough ?identify and ?ma...
