I like when a few low level spells are attractive to hybrid characters. Skald does this really well and adds a playstyle choice to the game. Confusing touch does the same thing which is great but you can't cast it with plate or a large shield so you have to make some choices. Maybe Confusing Touch i...

I like all of the changes. Thanks for fixing the god. The abyss card feels like a trap. Perhaps it could be adjusted to not abyss the user. I am not sure what the rate is but I had a low level character ran into a named that was hasted. I used escape and was sent to the abyss. I understand that I sh...

Currently, once every few games you need to press ctrl-a. (this turns autopickup back on) I noticed when teaching people that this caused confusion, they didn't realize they were not picking stuff up anymore and also didn't know how to fix it. Once they realized that they were not eating food with a...

rpois certainly does not prevent paralysis. Here is an example character I lost to a hornet, I was fighting him on the steps. He paralyzed me and killed me from full health. I lost all my shield and dodge instantly making me an easy target. I had rpois on a ring. I died before the paralyze ended. Wi...

There are a lot of artifacts that are good if you get them early game and weaker later in the game when you get enchant weapon scrolls and make a vanilla weapon. These are fine to have in the game in general. Trident of the octopus king is a +8 Trident of Venom with 2 rPois rElec MR+. Often when thi...

Right now Hornets can 1 shot you by paralyzing and then killing you while paralyzed. They can do this even if you have poison resist and magic resist. My suggestion is change it to a slow or make poison resist make you immune to it. I suspect rpois helps a bit but still lets you get 1 shot by a luck...

A lot of people are explaining what the math behind summoner exp. This is important but the more important thing is how it feels to people. Right or wrong people feel bad using summons. I really like changing all summons to give full exp all the time. It makes the rules cleaner and it makes people f...

Here is a version of his pitch that is maybe simpler to implement and balance: Instead of changing shape, it adds to its list of activated abilities on the 'a' menu each time it eats a corpse. So if it eats a gold dragon it gets a new ability that is breath gold dragon breath. Each time it uses an a...

This looks like a lot of work to implement and a lot more to balance but the idea is awesome and looks like it would create a fun new way to play, sort of like Gnoll did.

Mike.

I like this because it is a new way to play caster, especially at low levels which for newer players is 90% of the game. Specially the -1 mana cost on spells. The only other thing that I think is important is that it be somewhat obvious to people who just read the name of the race that you are a pur...

Still alive and exploring vaults. I have one rune so far from snakes. I also cleared orcs but elves had a tough staircase down so I left it for later. I cleared lair but not shoals or slime yet. I found a staff of conjurations and a staff of fire. I am not sure which is better for me but I went with...

Great advice, I never heard of unlearning spells using old spell books. I have tons of books in my stash. I just looked around and figured out you can delete books to delete a known spell. That is good to know. Hundreds of games without knowing that. I never swing my weapon, your reply implies I sho...

I am a level 15 HeFE of Vehumet. Character attached. I normally die with spellcasters early to something my spells just don't kill fast enough. This game I am doing well and found some really nice randart artifacts. A few questions: What spells should I learn next? I have basically everything in boo...

Ok, that matches the knowledge bot but the crawlwiki is wrong then

Levitation: Activate to levitate indefinitely (but at an increased hunger cost), deactivate at will

Mike.

Thanks. I think it would be great if the item mentioned the food cost. Like regeneration does sometimes.

Mike.

I found +1 pair of boots of flying They are not unique (not rand or unrand), so I am assuming this is a new type of boots that are replacing boots of levitation. (I am using a super recent dev build) Do they cost food or glow to keep on, they seem to be permanent and cost nothing. They sure helped a...

Thanks for all the advice, I am still alive and I have 3 runes. I want to try to go to zot. I would appreciate advice on what amulet and armor to wear. I have resist mutation, or clarity, or warding (and several others). I am tempted by clarity because I have a berserk mutation. I could use some mut...

Wizards and Fire Elementalist both get conjure flame. When fighting tough stuff get into a corridor and put that right in front of you so they just die while attacking you.

Don't play a pure caster race like deep elf. They have no health, try something like naga first they allow for mistakes.

ok, I am going to do orc 4 now, I was saving it for a rainy day. Hopefully I get a nice bardiche that doesn't kill me

Mike.

I have a ring of ice and a ring of fire resistance, but my other rings are so good I hesitate to use those (slaying +4/+5, +5 strength, regeneration) I am going to use the robe for now. Other people are telling me to swap to Bardiche, what do you think about that? I am sad to lose such a good shield...

Thanks for the very specific answers so fast. I am sad that shield is not correct even though I found such a good one (+3 medium shield of protection). I will look for a bardiche, or get one from my god if I am lucky. - I am only going to skill up fighting and dodging from now on it sounds like. (An...

I am looking for advice on my merfolk's armor. I have 4 good suits of armor k - a +1 swamp dragon armour {god gift} p - a +2 orcish robe of resistance (worn) q - a +2 fire dragon armour X - the +7 splint mail "Voicsu Nora" {god gift, Str+4 Int+1} I have poison resist already so the swamp d...

Updated about 8 posts down, I have 3 runes and need more advice please

-------------------

How many points should i put into armor if I am a caster and I put on leather?

What if I put on -2 EV armor?

If I am a full heavy armor wearer, like mino and I have platemail on, how many points should I invest into evasion?

Thanks,

Mike.
