Code:: s - the +2 robe of Gluttony (worn) {Stlth+)

This just in, fat people are stealthy.

I don't dig a killhole every floor. That would be silly!

There are often simple corridors to use instead.

Who are you people that keep exiting stairwells in sight of enough dangerous ranged units to instantly kill them, I have never had that happen (that I can remember.) :lol:

Hey, why should Vault Wardens get all the fun? And who is that running around making runed doorways all the time? Don't they realize that we can just walk past those without disturbing whatever's within? That seems like a terrible security system. It has to be Crawlers. An ancient magic, long lost, ...

Potions, Jewelry, Scrolls. Knowing which ones are mutation lets me drink them like a dumb-dumb faster.

Wait. "Slowing down?" Oh god, that's petrification isn't it?

Oh. Never been happier to be hit by a quicksilver dragon.

Should you get a benefit from becoming a tree underneath a raincloud?

Ya know, various other games have wikis. Those games have thousands of players (more than crawl) that, conceivably, are trying to edit information. What are they doing different that makes it look so easy?

Perhaps you can purge the effect via Vulnerability scrolls?

don't equip mundane cloaks/hats/gloves and forget about them for 10 levels though I would like to comment that seemingly pointless cloaks, helmets, gloves, and boots can all give +1 ac even if they're +0 and have no interesting properties. And the thing is, the game ignores them completely. Sure yo...

Oh I was under the impression that "badwiki" was actually a joke and the wiki was meant to be the primary source of information, with the learndb for experienced players that just want a quick touch-up on something they knew but forgot. I know that I used entirely the wiki to learn the fin...

I like the part of the game where I press buttons and things turn into corpses more than the part of the game where I litter. It's honestly gotten to the point where I don't care if my remove curse scroll decides to atomize in the face of an orc throwing a candle in my direction. It's suboptimal pla...

Remember you can use Shift-X and then Ctrl-F to forget the level, and then Autoexplore to do high speed re-exploration looking for what might be a wandering mob with your whip. Visit all staircases to make sure there's no cordoned off areas that could be missed. And if all else fails, explore all 3 ...

Fulminant Prism is tricky, I am not a big fan of it but it is very useful for killing statues out of LoS. This applies more to early game than late, but creatures that aren't massively powerful sometimes take more than one hit to destroy a prism. If you're in a hallway and far enough away, you can ...

He he. "This Trove requires the blood of a powerful warrior to enter. Will you accept it's challenge?" Upon answering "Y" it could maybe either teleport you to a psuedo-zig arena and yell "Defeat Tiamat in 1 on 1 combat!" or it could just spawn someone right next to you...

Why limp out of the dungeon back to the world of man, beast and monster when you can saunter?

There obviously needs to be a "trove god" whose altar is occasionally next to troves and worshiping him allows you to enter the trove for free. It's silly, sure, but solves the problem of players rejoining their old god immediately. A god of wealth, fame, and mortality would actually be a...

I would say spellcasting skill because that +INT is what determines spell hunger but hunger isn't supposed to be a problem for most races anyway. Just get things to not cost a ration and you're fine really.

It might feel a bit clumsy but if you can get defensive spells like Shroud of G, Repel/Deflect Missiles, and Blink online they could help. Shroud will need to be put on before you go down, but it could give you a turn to get back up and hopefully blink away from anything that followed you.

Other than that, being super careful with micromanagment in fights you're not fully equipped for might be the reality. Drawing everything to stairwells, avoiding revealing fog of war during combat, running very early, stuff like that. It's easy to deal with things when you have the intended answer t...

Prism is great for rounding a corner and dealing with anything that can't move, like a statue. @OP: You can do what's called a "dump" (such a glorious term) to help us out by pressing # (Shift-3) during a game. If on webtiles it will then send you a message you can get by following the cha...

Oh, my armor can go negative! If I remove my hat it goes to -2. I wonder if anything in the Lair can-

oh hey Erica can fire energy blasts through two butterflies for 30+ damage, lookit all that blood

Oh yes, this is rapidly becoming more of a personal challenge than a good idea. I got hit once by a hill giant and I'm surprised I didn't turn to mist. I wonder just how far I can get with literally no AC.

Eh, I shouldn't be getting hit anyway, right?

Challenge accepted. Man, this'll make those stash runs much easier on the ole' back.

I'd like if it didn't sometimes just refuse to work as the overall enchantment got stronger. You tend to find something shiny and white eventually anyway, right?

Imo you don't learn passwall because you're going to cast it every 30 seconds, you learn it because every now and then the spell's text reads "cast this for free exp" and it also provides a way to duck out of sight after outrunning something. It's less fun when you're slower and they're al...

I could simply play a more interesting combo, instead of playing with a hand tied to my back. I see nothing wrong with it. Some tournaments give bonus points for doing unusual things like having Evocations as highest skill or visiting Depths 6 before entering Lair/Mines. What if there was like a bu...

Oh no! It's an Orc Knight! I've heard of these. They are sometimes the first medium threat thing I was told I'll face in this dungeon. I should be careful and- is that supposed to be a gold belt of bling he has on? Oh dear god. They've learned to spin cloth out of all that gold and dust they have do...

I very distinctly remember encountering at least 2 in online trunk when I won like a few days ago. I can actually see their deaths recorded in my kill list under vanquished foes: 4 ancient liches (Zot:5).

It's hard to really quantify, but I'll say something along the lines of "before panic sets in." There's like a lull at the start of most abyss entries where you haven't encountered anything horrifying yet, and sometimes you get lucky enough to ride those to an exit before things get danger...

Hirsch I wrote:escaping the abyss feels good. thats why it is my favourite branch.

Especially when you see an early exit, take a deep breath and muster your resolve, and then go get the rune first before escaping. It's so satisfying.

Also relevant to thread: When you throw a dart at a spore and the explosion kills something offscreen. Even if it's just a rat.

I don't know if it's just me, but when I select a race and then view aptitudes offline the race is highlighted in a nice bright white color. If I do this online however, even though it's a different color, it doesn't look as pronounced. Am I just crazy?

Felid only: Sacrifice Life, +?

Or maybe it could be available to everyone, and doing so does exactly what you'd think it does except the player's soul is claimed and their ghost isn't made. (Or maybe this is just what happens if you ctrl-Q with Iashol)

Is it possible to shout loud enough under any conditions to break it? I wonder what things do affect shout volume. Never explored that.
