There was common, repeated IRC and tavern advice from people somewhat respected to skip one, then both branches that DracoOmega had recently overhauled, inherently negative both on the developer and on the development process. There's a lot to say about all of this, but I'm quoting that because it'...

Not to get in the way of all the other things that are wrong with the proposal, but the part where it completely forgets about spell levels from Spellcasting and therefore offers no replacement for it is a good sign that this wasn't terribly well-reasoned to begin with.

The 8.6 traps magic number existed for a time but was removed from .12 trunk recently, yeah. Well... not entirely removed. It just provides something like 88% detection instead of 100%. Incidentally, no trap skill number reaches 100%, so even if you're insane like me and are willing to go to any len...

I don't actually think the plain Zot:1-4 are entirely bad, but probably Zot could use a few more vault placements. I doubt that just increasing the number of vault spawns would have the intended effect by itself, though. It seems like it would be more important to ensure that the vaults are really r...

firestorm also tends to not be castable until very late on mummies because their apts for it are not good

minmay made the interesting point that a player going for a long streak would choose an easier background later in the streak. http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/streaks.html does indeed have a couple of Wr builds rather high in the series. It's hard to argue with that. The funny part about this is ...

Another point is that the sort of character that one finds easy/strong is going to have something to do with how they like to play. Conjurers and other backgrounds based on attack spells certainly can be powerful, but they probably seem even more so to somebody who'd rather just throw spells at ever...

Yeah, none of those spells are actually on my list of things to always get castable on every character, with the possible exception of Haste. And spell level restrictions -do- exist... if I did want to learn all of those spells, it's quite likely I wouldn't have enough levels to get something else I...
