Whips do slashing damage. Slashing damage does not cut hydra heads. Also, monsters that attack hydras do cut off heads, but they only have 25% the chance that the player does (unless they are spectral weapons in which case they get the full chance, even if the spectral weapon is Asterion's and not ...

maces? only whips do (id vote to change that) They do? Since when? Btw. wiki says Any such attack that deals 1-3 damage has a 50% chance of removing a head, while 4+ will always do so. and if that really is the case then I learned something new (the 1-3 damage thing). The wiki states that whips do ...

short blade? no chop. Unless I'm mistaken (item-prop.cc:474), Captain's Cutlass is a short blade that does behead hydras for some reason. that was because cutlasses used to be in the short blade category but were replaced with rapiers. one could argue that the caps blade theirfor should either be a...

Should it be noted that head chopping is almost uniform by weapon class? long swords? chop. short blade? no chop. axe? chop. maces? only whips do (id vote to change that) polearms get sticky in that regard as like half chop and half dont. Personally i belive that if the information was better comuni...

but it does work the same for all weapons. What? No it doesn't. Depending on the damage type of the weapon the hydras will grow more heads or won't, it has two different behaviors applied to different weapons based on flavor. weapons that do slashing damage remove heads. those that dont, dont. ...w...

but it does work the same for all weapons. weapons that do slashing damage remove heads. those that dont, dont. should damage type be conveyed better? maybe. or perhaps just make it based on weapon catagory. though only really polearms are confusing mixing damage types (and whips from maces) but hyd...

I have a question for lasty and those people who notice these gender things in games in general. yes i agree that women in chain mail bikinis are dumb and overtly sexist and should be done away with as they are sexual for sexuality's sake and add nothing to the game. but the creatures in crawl arnt ...

Hmm, i like this idea, EW 1 would still become irrelevant but it would change the early game for melee characters. far as i build and i see a lot of others do you get weapon skill to min delay then get your other skills online, if this was implemented one would need less investment in weapon skill r...

psi, the update says racial weapons are not gunna spawn, armour is still safe

im ok with most updates the devs do as i have faith they will lead the game in a healthy direction but one thing i dont understand is the hatred for the racial equipment. i can understand that the use is very niche and in weapons even more so, but dwarven weapons were always a thing i looked for on ...

is there a reason i get max piety instantly with zin in the 0.12 sprint 1? seems really odd, powerful, but odd

i was referring to the sprints in general, does one need to play an op combo or will the slyightly harder ones do as well? whats NEEDED to play them at least half competently?

I have tried a few times to get a foot in dungeon sprint but die alot.

how is one intended to play this mode? ive completed zot defence and the main game once each but cant really do sprint it keeps me up at night

sandman, that is a horrible idea. not only is it counter intuitive, eg. why do my summons dispensary but monster ones dont. it also makes most summoning enemies ridiculously harder because they spam that spell hard. i see nothing wrong with the strat of run from summons and let them poof then fight ...

can i just site track this thread for a moment and thank everyone who saw this post and decided to respond with helpful tips instead of just mocking this poor soul.

faith in the people of the internet: raising

so, i have this repeat problem when trying to read chat on a smaller screen. the char background isnt opaque and so sometimes the chat and the map compeat for screen space and i cant read either. could we make the chat opaque so we can read it easy when its popped up. unless someone can think of a g...

Cons is generally considered worth wearing because often you don't have something better, and it's very often useful. Might still be a good idea. if you mean lowering the general amount of items in the game i might also add the thought of adding a few more shops with said consumables, not to fully ...

Let me point out that Faith and Gourmand require dedicated use -- you cannot simply swap those amulets for their effects. Back in the day I had the vision (and I wasn't alone with this) that rings might be distinguished from amulets by this property: rings would be tactical (you swap them as you se...

So im starting this thread as it seems the one i started about guardian spirit has gotten off topic and is more discussing amulets in general as far as improvements can go. below im going to write what i feel is the general state for the amulet and any improvements i could think of for all the curre...

I didnt even think about having the ratio of damage changed from 1:1 to anything else, that is actually a really good idea, if the ratio was even 3:1 hp:mp it would really improve things. as for your second point dpeg, i think the ratio of mp vs hp used could be based on your current mana pool compa...

As it stands right now, if your a caster you probably never wanna wear guardian angel because if you get hit it will drain your mana and leave you lacking the ability to use your primary tool, spells. On the other hand if your a melee character its till iffy to use guardian angel because you have a ...

well i clearly neeed to learn how to search better, thanks folks

so i can understand why the ascii version of crawl has no sound, that version mostly runs in your imagination. im not sure how feasible it is to get sounds to run for the web tiles version and keep it running smoothly. but for the local tiles version im curious why there has not yet been a project p...

in most every game ive played there is always a type of armor that returns damage to sender, i know there is shield of reflect but i mean more like bladed armor. i figure there is a design reason for it and im wondering what that is?

coco, its probably your screens resolution being just a little to small or something, but thats only a guess.

well its not that i detest ghosts, i kinda like them, but i like them with variety, and i play one class race combo excusivly till i can win with it, taking out all of my failed deep elf wizards is a pain in the ass and i dont want to do it every time. in webtiles i dont mind finding a ghost cu they...

o im fuly aware how to fight them effectivly and where the files are stored but im curious if there is a way to prevent them from being created in the first place. its a little tedious to delete them manually every time (although i suppose could write a batch file and run it after a character dies)

So when im playing webtiles do to the massive verity of different people that play and the different play styles i dont mind running in to player ghosts, they provide an interesting and varying challenge. but i tend to play the same roll over and over and running into my own ghosts get tedious and a...

im gonig to hyjack this thread and ask is there any way we can make the chat box opaque. if i play on a smaller screen i cant see the chat because of the mosters and dungeon map behind the chat box

well i splated a GREAT number of characters with no runes at all, i got two or three characters with a rune or 2. but as this character went along i used every bit of my experience and paranoia and decided at the point of 3 runes that it simply wasnt enough. i thought about getting some spells like ...

so ya, like the title says, total win, im so happy to finally win and i did a 15 runes run no less. i dont know how to post a character dump, if some one wants to do it for me or tell me how ill do it. edit: and 19th place for first time, im so proud of myself :) cool story: in pan, going to another...

i saw in a shop the other day +10 pearl dragon armor with relec and +2dex on top of its normal traits, it was 13000 gold (not exactly but around there)

so like an outdoor old ruined castle? thats what that temple says to me. perhaps we can set the baily in that environment as it being compleatly made out of stone seems off to me. thoughts? edit: and by compleatly stone i mean the outside walls to nothing, one could easily make those trees and add s...

i think he means like litterally in the lobby a place to leave hints for the other players. id like to inform you of this place called the forums, lots of hints there sir.

very good question, id like to catch an orc changing armor and be naked for once instead of vice versa.

or that, lol ive never looked into sorting so i didnt know that exsisted

well if i knew the language that shouldnt be a difficult bubble sort with a couple options, perhaps a developer can look into it, or soneone can poit me where to learn lua and C+ and i could give it a try myself as ive been wanting the same thing

ZOMG, that is soooo awesome, if it was you who implemented that good job sir, if not pass it along to whom ever

oh i also just noticed when i press ctrl-x (whatever that mode is called) i like that it turns the full screen into a map, would be nice when examining dungeon features i think

Overall i have to say i like it, but i have one problem, the heath and mana bars being changed from the big blocky bars to the ========== things bothers me, could be because im used to the other way but they were easier to see in my periphery. if this a permanent change? Also feel free to use this t...

i think the best way to deal with buffs is to infer some kind of secondary cost that causes the player to stop and think before they auto put that buff back up, what that may be im not sure, reagents dont seem like they would work in crawl but i feel like that would cause people to think before cast...

It's a tradeoff. Upside, they don't stand next to you and chase you up the stairs. Downside, they stand behind ogres and poke you in the eye in hallways. made me laugh, and i see what people are saying, i always do my best to fight in hallways so i havnt noticed to much trouble from the increase to...

So i found a +3 ponderious hat on my new MiFi (+3, ponderious +10Mp +5int MR) is it worth the slowing effect? base summery of my char is i have all forms of armor max enchanted minus my crystal plate i was lucky to find, but i worry the slow will cripple me.

Ive noticed in .10 that with all poll arms having reach it make it really easy to escape enemies wielding said weapons, as they are not trying to get next to you they dont follow you up stairs and such. was this thought of when giving them this effect?

I'll respect the devs' opinion though. And of course, I'm sure if one dabbles with the code a bit, he could re-enable the race for their own personal experience and share with their fellow MD lovers :P . I wouldn't know how to do that, though. If someone can tell me how to do this ill be more than ...

While i've read your reasons for the removal of this race, id really like to say, game play wise, sure they were pretty samey with a couple other races. but from a personal perspective, no matter how you dress them up a hill orc or a minotar, or even a deep dwarf as they are typically evil in my hea...
