Sandman25 wrote:Large shield slowed down your attacks, don't wear it unless you have Shields 25.

Nah, shields at 14 is okay. You need shields 25 for your large shield if you're casting spells, but if you're just melee-ing dudes, a much lower number is fine.

Well, yeah.

If you just want to get your first win ever, then don't bother doing Slime. AT ALL. And large shield is very good if you're wielding a one-handed weapon. 50+ SH is very good defense in a normal three-rune game. You might want to switch to a morningstar though, or even a great mace (but that means no...

Interesting.

I would name it "Noble" or something else, though.

Yeah, really, I like Monk. Please don't remove them.

Well, you know, sometimes the RNG decides to be evil and kills you before you even reach D:2.

Almost as bad as Jiyva

over at the 4chan DCSS page

oh, okay

Quick simple question:

Does strength have any effect on vanilla unarmed combat? I know high strength is very good when you're wielding weapon or fighting in forms, but how about if you're bare-handed and not using transmutation spells?

Clear after getting all runes

what is this thread i don't even

Took a while for me to realize you're not talking about the one with rElec.

Aight, thanks. This map actually doesn't look too brutal compared to some others. But I'll definitely try |||||||| next, lol.

First time I've ever got this far in Sprint. Things were going rather smoothly, and then... y'all know what happened next, that's right: overconfidence. No tele scroll, so I didn't run away from Frederick. Got a ton of paralysis needles, decent throwing, and a +5 blowgun, but the bastard shrugged it...

This actually happens: http://rl.heh.fi/morgue/schwarznadel/mo ... 102406.txt

One way to solve it: give the vault a runed door.

I don't see this going anywhere well of course, I mean, did you miss this part: I suddenly realised that i like to grind , and would be really happy to spent hours in pandemonium to get enough gold to buy all artefacts from stores. It seems i can't really think of idea that is not about grinding .

Get more fighting; 10.2 is too low for your XL. As for your AC/EV/SH, they look fine already.

And of course you can not combine god gifts.

Why? God gifts aren't any better than randarts on the floor, as far as I know.

Thanks.

The only thing Gr have that seems unnecessary is the permanent flight mutation. Other than that, the race is decent. It's a rather gimmicky race, but I don't know... maybe because it fills a cool niche that the gimmicks turn out okay.

I'd say that Sojobo, the new tengu unique in trunk, is pretty tough.

One point I've not yet seen (I apologise if I missed it): even assuming that dedicated spellcasters will look very similar regarding the skill when they win, that does not take into account that *learning* the skill may have produced choices. It is not so obvious, I think, when and how much to inve...

nevermind

Thanks. Yeah, nope, I didn't find any books with controlled blink, lol. Now I wonder what I trained tloc to 21 for, lol (I just ascended this ogre dude after I left him some weeks ago to play other characters).

They are OgFi, GrFi, and DsFi. They made the generic Oka->TSO switch, except the DsFi of course (who stayed with Oka the whole game). The GrFi was my first Gargoyle game.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

i don't think so...

Do you think bumping up Merfolks Ice aptitudes to +2, or even +3 for that matter, would make them OP? Probably not, but bumping it up is also not interesting enough. I mean, who cares? One aptitude point difference hardly ever matters. If we really want to see some +2 or even +3 ice aptitude, I thi...

Code:: 74795 | Vaults:5 | Identified the -11 crystal plate armour of the Raven {Str+3 Dex+3 Int+3} (Okawaru gifted it to you on level 5 of the Vaults)

Not sure if that vampiric broad axe is better than your claws, but....

I guess you need to train Dodging next. And some more FIghting won't hurt.

You don't just increase any race's ice aptitude because you want to get rid of some "asymmetrical game design", lol.

If I'm playing a melee dude, then I'll use both the whip and the morningstar. The whip is pretty nice, though I probably won't enchant it. Freezing is also a good brand, especially against cold-blooded dudes.

Why is a God in the game if less than 1% of games see it put to use?

Why not? What's the problem? Does it break the gameplay balance somehow?

We can't cook, so this shouldn't be in the game.

This sounds cool.

Has anyone ever thought about a poison spell that BUFFS UP the caster?

And by "true hybrid" I mean a dude who shoots conjuration spells and also fights in melee and wears decent armour. (Though I haven't been learning any melee weapon skill, since I've been pumping up my defense and magic skills, and since I found a stupidly good rod which I'll explain below....

Because ranged combat is really powerful in crawl, and starting off with a ranged weapon is more convenient than trying to find one on the floor.

I contemplated mentioning it, but since i was talking about using cheibriados as a CASTER, you would usually be better off staying at range and using spells like Repel/Deflect missile(or a shield of reflection) to help tank the damage(since casters are generally ranged attackers as well). Ranged th...
