I understand that this topic is mostly for lucky/unlucky rolls on randarts, but still... I just have found the "Devastator" for centaur of Wu Jian. The combo is completely ridiculous. Even single shatter activation can cause plenty of pain, but it can trigger multiple times per step when y...

Code:: the +8 large shield of Botah (worn) {rF++ rC++ rN+}

I stopped worrying about anything after I found it (had reflection on amulet).

I never go past D10 before clearing lair and mines. Maybe that is your mistake and you are pushing too hard. Take your time and farm some easy branches before venturing any deeper.

What if I can't eat them? Will it still butcher them through the whole game?..

By "capable" I mean innate ability or anything of gourmand being equipped.
And by "auto-eating" I also mean auto-butchering while in auto-explore mode.

I can see those effects in character overview but can't on the main screen (you know, below the stats).
For example now I am flying, glowing and having a shield active, but it only displays "fly".
I wonder why?..

Version of the game is 0.20.1
Offline.

In other words: will it become +11 or will it stay +9?

Why does it takes whole 5 (five!) freaking turns to equip/unequip the shield?.. The same as an armor. It's ridiculous. Sure equiping/unequiping armor should take some time, but shield you just take/drop. Pretty much as a weapon. You don't put it on as an armor. I think it should require the same amo...

hmm...
I've found the Hat of the Alchemist here and it's still have the rMut on it.
Is this a leftover from previous patches or game actually have rMut as a hidden stat?

I use flash_screen_message for these. It helps, but you still catch a mutation here and there if you play a lot of late-game and not going straight for the orb.

I hate mutations altogether.
I hate that game has no r.mut anymore.
And I hate that potions of cure mutation are almost nonexistent (found the first and the last around lvl25). Seriously a single potion. Dafuq?..

It says that polearm weapons "can be evoked to extend its reach".
Does it means that Evocation skill is used for that maneuver?

I doubt that Evocation has anything to do with purely combat abilities, but specifically the word "evoke" keeps bugging me.

Thanks.

I forgot how to do couple of things and can't find answers in guide. Probably I'm not looking good enough, but I decided that it's easier to ask. 1. How to turm footprints on? You know, the ones that shown after you autoexplore. 2. How to change the menus layout (the ones that are shown on the right...

In nethack there are cockatrices, they are really easy enemies, except once in a while they will hiss at you or you will have taken your gloves/weapon off for some reason, and you instantly die instead of easily killing them. Compare to the orc with the distortion weapon. If other games have some a...

I encountered a monster with distortion in Depths, tried to spam SticksToSnakes but it didn't work so I invoked Apocalypse, it killed most monsters except that one but fortunately it was paralyzed. This probably shows how serious I am when dealing with distortion, don't give the monster a chance if...

mps wrote:I would go the opposite direction: Rename worms "abyssal worms" and give them distortion branded melee, imo.

Or even better, throw newly generated char straight into abyss. It will teach them!

It's death sentence for lvl10 or lower characters and way too harsh test for 15-ish ones.
It just makes no sense to throw underdeveloped char in such grinder.

It says that it affects your magic, but does it affects maically enchanted weapon?..

Then maybe ability to choose pre-start between Ds with monstrous heritage and without it.

It first case you can go all monstrous, but in second case you have very little (or none) chance to get monstrous mutations.

I am trying demonspawn right now and I've found myself completely discouraged to go further if I got couple of shitty mutations at the beginning. Ability to choose (to some extend) the innate mutations would be nice. For example, each time you about to mutate, you could pick one out of three mutatio...

Hm. I still don't understand what exactly prevents creating a rule to check specified folder for replacements before using default image?.. I mean what difference it makes if game takes image from given coordinates on a large tile-map or from single file? Why it can't be implemented into current sys...

Back to this issue. Can we PLEASE have a folder for tile replacements? - put a .png file there - name it correspondingly - game should override (on the fly) the default tile with it I don't know how hard is it to code, but for users it would be so much simplier to use. And it would allow a tile-pack...

What do you, guys, think of this vampires remake?..

: Reason: current vampire looks like a caricature. This one is just a creepy pale dude - no silliness.; vampire.png (3.81 KiB) Viewed 68656 times

: Reason: current vmpire knight is ok really, but a bit too blend. This one has more character. And looks great with weapon in hand.; vampire_knight.png (3.72 KiB) Viewed 68656 times

: Reason: current mage is actually works pretty well with my tiles, but I did a new one anyway.; vampire_mage_better.png (4.31 KiB) Viewed 68656 times

: Reason: current Jory is plain silly. It's fun, I guess, but I think that most powerful vampire should look more menacing.; vampire_Jory.png (3.64 KiB) Viewed 68656 times

Here's Geryon:

Any feedback?..

Right now all kinds of rods fall into 'maces & flails' category (at least it says so in description). Which is pretty strange to me. It's half way between wand and staff (no way close to mace/flail). It definitely looks like staff on a tile. Scroll of aquirement thinks it's a staff (at least it ...

Thanks a lot.

I have almost no experience with spellcasters. Right now I'm playing DEFE. Full offense. What should I take from Vehumet? He gives me all kinds of spells to learn, but I don't know which ones are good. Descriptions are vague and "power" indicator is messed up and not allows you to compare ...

I attempted to make them, but can't say I'm too happy about the result.
Anyhow, here they are:

I think I've found one on D:4 or something and it get me killed.

I would use +2 scale mail of poison resistance until better plate mail will pop up. I find rPois is pretty useful in Lair and it allows you to eat poisoned food.

The accuracy and damage numbers depend on the monster you are attacking. You can give pre-AC damage, though knowing the exact numbers is unnecessary. I don't really know how EV works but my guess is you can't display much of a meaningful accuracy number. Although it also "unnecessary" and...

Crazy stuff. Also, impressive.

What's official speed run record for three-runer?

Remedy works with all trunks up to 0.12-a0-492-g06f276, but won't work with 0.12-a0-580-gf3578aa.
Is this makes any sence?

I have. And here's the whole map. Still no doors. I got my trap-searching skill to 27 and didn't find any. But I've noticed that now this skill named just "Traps", not "Traps and Doors". So maybe there are no secret doors anymore, and "runed doors" didn't kick in just y...

I slept everywhere and didn't find anything.
Then I died of starvation.

I wonder what you think of this situation? There are no secret doors as far, as I can tell with my zero skill, and no stairs (see map). I have no rFire, no blink or tele, no apportation to get items from behind the fire. Didn't find any scrolls in first chamber either. Potion you see in inventory is...

I actually did it more than once.
It puts you in a very calm and peaceful state where you understand and accept that NOTHING will save you.

Sarcastic comment.
Some trolling.

I'd say a wand of heal wounds is worth more than all the loot in all the troves in every game ever unless that loot also contains a wand of heal wounds. I was in one trove only. And it was crazy good. Dozen of rings and amulets including some randarts. After this trip I've become ready to everythin...

That's good news. Thanks.

Actually it is. I just assumed it wants 8 wands, not the wand with 8 charges, because the latter would be unbelievable cheap. So this is charges? And any wand with more than 8 will do?

This time it asks for 8 wands of heal wounds.
Is this a reasonable number? I think you can get through the whole game without finding that much wands. Even if you'll get lucky with shops. Am I wrong?

It's not total lottery ofcourse. But you can experiment with placing units in a right position and then play the same (turn by turn) battle sequence several times from save. I did it back then plenty of times and the results was way too different. From crashing defeat to clear victory. With some hal...

I find a scale of randomization, when it comes to damage dealing, freakishly wide. You can kill literally everything without losing one HP, or you can be killed with couple of strikes right away. It provoke savescumming and makes the game without it annoying. At least that was the case several years...
