How about making Tornado move creatures around (except heavy ones like golems, maybe) and damage them only a little (compared to storm spells)? Moved creatures can't attack, and may also be confused.

Steel sling bullets should take Antaeus down, if you're careful enough

Turn off Slings

Okawaru's abilities are Heroism and Finesse, not Haste and might anymore.

What is this "penalty" about? Reduced AC?

The whole point of gaining piety for taking risks is that you are encouraged to take risks. With maxed out resists and super AC 90% of non extended endgame risks are simply gone. The passive abilities are only maxed out when the player is in critical state. Maxed out resists, super armor, and such ...

The fun is still going. OgTr is fun IF you can get past the early game :) Lair, Snake, Hive, and Orc is cleared. I had a hilarious time in Hive with Ignite Poison :lol: . I gathered as many poison potions as I could in Hive. Evaporate + poison potion + Ignite Poison = F U N :lol: I'm trying to clear...

Piety gain: Like Ashenzari, you gain piety by exploring new areas. But this time you must do it while you're not healthy.

Exploring the Abyss with 1 HP to rack up piety? Ain't that cool?? :lol:

Sounds cool. I imagine God like this would make his followers explore the dungeon like they're walking on a tight rope :) Potential abilities: - passive resistances (up to rF+++, rC+++, rElec, and rN+++) - random passive invulnerability (one in several chances any attack you receive can't hurt you) ...

Early game was HELL. Mid game is easy :) Ogre is weak like shit. Glass cannon crap :( . Fighting at +3 doesn't really help :( I'm waiting for a spellbook with Statue Form to make me happy :) Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.8.0-a1-196-ge8f19cc character file. Stuja Om the Grappler (Ogre Transmuter...

I have some ideas :) Death Sentence (Hex): Kills a living target after several turns. May cause the creature to go berserk until it dies. Zombify (Hex): Turns a living target into an undead. Could be useful when you have a weapon of holy wrath :) Evil Storm (Hex): A Firestorm-like spell which decrea...

I like the extra lives system, but why was it implemented at the first place, anyway? What was the purpose? The way I see it, Felid needs extra lives because it is so weak it would be very hard to win the game with just one life. But in reality, Felid is not that weak (it's not even weak). So, the l...

Travelling back to your stash is a pain? It is. But it seems that some people see that "pain" as equal to the "pain" in games where monsters are generated infinitely. Which is kind of silly

Congrats!

And that's a weird character for your first win :lol:

Abjuration is pretty important for a 15-runer. Definitely go get it (you don't want to get caught between big summoned demons!) :) With Abjuration, Tomb becomes very fun for a melee mummy. Yeah, Oka won't do you much good if you are already that strong and aren't attacking from afar. I'm not sure Ma...

HA HA HA HA HA

How does Trog like people to reach his altars that are surrounded by lava without using magic?

Gotta find a Ring of Levitation, then

Hahaha, another Mummy Monk :D If I were you, I would want to use sling. 1) Where to go next ? If you can get Abjuration, you can try Tomb. A Ring of Sustain Abilities will come in handy too. 2) Once I get haste a bit better castable I think I could dump Oka. Thought about going Ash or Makhleb, maybe...

Bolt of Draining (level 6 Conjuration/Necro).

Eat this sticky shit!

I think I'm having the same problem....

Started with some magic skills and a Book of Minor Magic, this guy is basically a wizard with more strength than he ever needs :lol: Been having a good time. Found a Ring of Teleport Control quite early. Staff of Wizardry made the early game sweeter. One of these days, I'll need to train Fighting......

Cerebov can haste himself. You'll have easier time if you throw everything you got at him before he does that.

But you don't have to kill him, though. So don't try to, if you aren't sure you can.

No, don't worry

Speed brand is weaker in 0.8. I would stick to Maces and Flails

Tired of Deep Elf Berserker nonsenses, so I started this :) He had a rough time when he got Deterioration 2 from Xom. Found a cure mutation potion, got rid of it, felt happy :D Bought a Captain's Cutlass from a shop. It's been my main weapon :) Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.8.0-a1-196-ge8f19cc ...

Powerful characters do that to you, sometimes

When you try to EH an Imp, it can "resist with some effort". If the creature is immune, the game would say "unaffected" or such.

I think Spriggan Berserker is no weirder than Troll Wizard. So there's nothing wrong with it being a recommended combo

You should get him some means to do ranged combat. My favorite is sling.

How could that possible? :?:

Are certain choices of weapons classes better than others? Some people say spears are not so good. Are certain choices of magical elements better than others? Air is definitely very powerful, probably the most powerful. It's strongest spell (Tornado) is overpowered. It has many useful spells for ab...

Did you guys know that Shield of Reflection reflects OoD? :lol:

No need to learn Mystic Blast when you have Throw Icicle. Dunno about Venom Bolt. If I would cast Sure Blade and then vorpalise weapon would the effect of the Sure Blade stay permanent? No, as far as I know.... Would it be better for me to worship Vehumet then Sif Muna? This depends on your play sty...

If you want to make your body stronger, it's just natural that you do push-up or weight-lifting or whatever over and over again. There's absolutely nothing wrong with such repeated task. But if the repeated task doesn't suit you (like if you're playing a pure spellcaster and you have to slash rats w...

Damn, I want my grey draconian... Draconian's of other colors aren't really good for melee.

At least you didn't get the purple one (it's great at magic, and since you're playing a berserker...)

Congrats!

It took me 45 turns to get the abyssal rune.

"There's a thick-headed creature on the doorway!"

ARMOR-PIERCING BRAND: Nullifies the target's AC. Can be found on bullets/arrows/bolts.

KRIS: Short Blade. Amplifies the user's magical power and/or increases his MR.

Awesome!

Fighting was something before it became godly. You remove Fighting, you remove the godliness and that something too.

You are a MANIAC....

Congrats!

Deep Elf Berserker is awful....

Oh yeah... I "forgot" to do finish Mennas off in my last game too

Hey, ssshh....

Dead :( And I tried again, the same Bambang Irwanto, the same Deep Elf Berserker... but different strategy. I used short blade this time, since I lucked out and found a +2,+2 Sabre of Electrocution :) It went much, much smoother. I kept it safe and refrained from berserking. I berserked only once. B...

Nice win, congrats!
