The big kobold seems to speed up. Evoking this partially-identified wand wasted a few charges. The big kobold resists with some effort. Evoking this partially-identified wand wasted a few charges. The big kobold completely misses you. The big kobold misses you. Xom roars with laughter! The mass of ...

Had that happen in a FO with the little island vault, I died.

Have you actually tried this? It's not especially frequent to even damage an orb of fire with an iron rod evoke, let alone do "pretty solid" damage, at 18 evo. I am pretty sure meleeing the orb of fire with the rod will do more damage if it's well enchanted. Now I'm confused. From a recen...

Plate-level AC this is a pretty unfair assessment, since plate armour can have enchantment other resistances sorted in the meantime. other resistances don't matter except for like, rF in zot that said if i have QDA then yeah i'm gonna be wearing it all game, there are often barely enough enchant ar...

My last two ascensions have been using QDA, including my only 15 runer who had staggering defenses and hp. Plate-level AC plus MR for 8 ER? Level 6-7 spells are a breeze to cast in it. Granted just make sure you've got your other resistances sorted in the meantime.

I would say that ignite blood is not really worth going out of your way to make a whole buildpath around, flaming clouds hurt, but not THAT much. A lot of the most dangerous enemies in the game are either flame resistant, don't bleed, or you don't want alive long enough for the cloud to be a signifi...

For dazzling spray it hits each target independently with a shard, it's a single target multi-target spell. The damage is flat for shard and bolt it would appear, I believe based on XL but I might be mistaken. Single target spells will shoot a shard, bolt spells a bolt. Both are non-elemental and ar...

Just splatted a XL27 DsVm with nightstalker that thought it would be a brilliant idea to walk several tiles into a silence aura only stopping when he spotted the silent spectre he knew was there in the first place. First time I felt I was robbed for pressing o instead of trudging over. (As the playe...

Yep, took it. Had Oka dropping titans on me all the way down the vaults and snake. I was abysed for 10000 turns and never found the exit after already having found the rune. My luck must be bad, and I was out of permafood with a hell sentinel chasing me for a good half of it. Dry on consumables and ...

"What is this wall made of doors? Must be something good."

You see a shadow dragon, you see a titan, you see an ettin, you see a cyclops, you see a stone giant...

Or

"This door is covered in warnings, open anyway?"

Just had a very promising character get banished, and while he can take everything except hell sentinels and the like (antimagic axe takes care of the pesky liches and demons), already got the rune, but the character in question is currently Very Hungry and sitting on an altar to Lugonu wondering wh...

Re: Minotaur aptitudes: I link you to this post of mine explaining why you are looking at aptitudes the wrong way: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6384&p=85714#p85714 This is a VERY good way of looking at things. I never thought of that, and I wasn't quite sure how aptit...

Trolls and ogres and centaurs and minotaurs seemed a bit like one-trick ponies with very frustrating equipment restrictions. Techinially, no. But if you want to view it that way, it's a really good trick. Mind clarifying this for me? Their aptitudes make it a bit hard for me to imagine them doing m...

Okay guys, thanks to everyone's advice, I got a pretty good SpAs going. I attached my char dump, and I just finished lair. I think I am off to a pretty good start, and I have those wonderful Sage cards to thank for my weird skilling (and I somehow thought twisted resurrection was actually good....st...

Wow, this thread exploded. Thanks for all the great replies, guys. I can't answer everyone directly, but here's some bullet points: -Stop chugging down those mutation potions, it's a bad idea, and the odds aren't on my side to get one of those ten situational ones. Cost benefit analysis. -Nemlex is ...

I like killing things, but I generally know when to cut my losses and run for it. I just tend to over-commit when I shouldn't and try to run from things faster than me. I think we can chalk that up to experience. I did play a lot of Nethack, but that game has some very game-breaking mechanics I can ...

Hi all. Took a break after the last version when I realized I was spawning a FE of Su player ghost every two floors, more than happy to spam spells I didn't actually have and cut down every remotely promising start I have ever made. So lately, I've been trying a different approach. Namely Huhu's and...

to post your morgue file, copy the text and paste it into your post between [code] and [/code] tags honestly I think your skilling is fine (assuming that Wyrmbane is as fast as it will go), you could work on fighting next. Scale mail is generally not recommended - do you have any plate armour? If y...

rElec is almost worthless. Not many threatening monsters use electricity, and no threatening monsters use it at this stage of the game - Nikola can be dealt with with a potion of resistance. So wear some plate armour, if you can find an enchanted one it's good, but even a +0 one is way better than ...

Xor.txt Okay, first I need to figure out how to imbed morgue file, but lemme explain my decision. First off, Hunter. I tend to get ravaged by the first ogre and murdered by the first tough unique as a fighter or a mage, respectively, or just die somewhere just out of the lair in either case. My bes...
