Seconding Confuse as an excellent way to kill shock serpents

Lugonu and Zin both have pretty good escape options and if you know what you're doing I think Chei is a fine choice as well

Regen is annoying to cast. Partial solution: make it last until it's done a full HP bar's worth of healing. Any attempted healing while already at full HP is wasted. This also adds a fun risk/reward mechanic, where you gain more benefit if you cast it at low HP, and there's a reason to spend a turn...

If you must kill her, use buffs and reset the fight with a wand of tele over and over until terrible caster AI lets you kill her. But it depends on your character. Throwing up Haste and Orbs of Destruction with Brilliance and maybe a few evocation blasts/god abilities can finish her if she makes poo...

If you desperately need invisibility you can still swap away from Vampiric for it, you won't starve. But with Vampiric+Makhleb+Your Defenses, I don't really see WHY you'd need to go invisible.

As for Hydras, I'd just use Vampiric and nuke them with 16 Makhleb Invocations.

Of these, the only one I've seen evidence for is Sigmund x Jessica and that was secondhand rumour

I don't really use any of his abilities, I just draw blind from the tops of decks, it's great fun

it's always bugged me and i've never understood it and i'd actually probably enjoy kol if they'd let me play more of it then doling it out like it's fucking ww2 rationing Trust me once you git gud and can squeeze 200+ adventures out of day one of a run it stops being enjoyable and becomes a horribl...

I am legitimately concerned that some of the devs are squandering their potential by sticking with crawl instead of making their own roguelikes and that while crawl .27 will probably be pretty neat, I would always wonder what else might have been

Sojobo- Crawl Tengu are quite birdlike, most notably in terms of their beaks. Now, anything with a beak will have a dashedly hard time breastfeeding, so I don't want to see any art giving Sojobo(F) breasts to distinguish her from Sojobo(M) because that will be patent nonsense.

This, ancient Hawaiians had invented surfboards hundreds of years ago, so surfing isn't even anachronistic (whatever that's supposed to mean in the context of Crawl's timeless fantasy faux-middle ages aesthetic, anyway)

It wasn't the https, but your post reminded me of other basic things like 'clearing the cache.' This resolved the issue for berotato, but Jorgrun.rocks remains elusive. But I only need one, so!

Thanks for providing moral support in my computer illiteracy!

The same thing happens with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox(which I downloaded just to see if a new browser would solve it).
Chrome error message for all online servers is the following format.

So my computer is old and terrible (mac OS 10.6.8) and hasn't been able to run downloadable crawl for years, but since online still worked I wasn't particularly concerned. But as of .18 I can't even load any webtiles pages, the connection always times out. I was wondering whether this is an issue th...

Scythes with Reach and Cleaving gets mentioned every time scythes get brought up and this is clearly a sign it should be implemented.

Mostly so Reapers become whirlwinds of hellish destruction, but Scythe-Zigging and Sigmund murdering summons and skeletons could be interesting little bonuses as well.

Animate Skeleton is the best weapon

Checkmate Trogolodytes

I'm pretty sure Trollform is better or at least on par with most transmutations outside of niche cases. If I was going to be a troll transmuter, I'd probably get sticks-to-snakes online as a summoning/escape option but then stick with straightforward troll claws and large rocks. I'm not too familiar...

If I didn't have any Necromancy or Summoning or Translocation spells I'd use Swiftness I guess, but that's a rare-sounding game.

To be honest, If your morgue file isn't signed by a public notary it may as well be rumor and hearsay

Would you not resent your player for playing less than "hypothetically optimally"? consider a 'game' where there is no Orb of Zot, no objective victory conditions, only continued suffering for the sake of survival. In such a 'game,' all decisions are idle whimsy, and all consequences have...

I like playing flat-aptitude races and Artificers and just adapting to whatever early dungeon junk I find, but sometimes I just don't find anything all that useful in the early game and I usually die after investing XP in a +0 Sling or Mace or desperate Dagger+Stealth shenanigans or Mahkhleb Invocat...

Anyway, I took a shot at redoing their tile but for the above reasons I dunno if I'd call it "more threatening." Maybe we'll use it for something else instead; Crawl needs more super-dangerous murder birds. Those are really nice looking bird sprites but yeah, they don't really convey 'hel...

Oh bugger I thought autofight_warning was how you got low_hp warnings at higher levels of HP

It's more about whether i get better overall defensive stats with another piece of armour. I think FDA will give you more AC, but if you don't think you need the resist fire from FDA, I'd stick with Moon Troll- the spirit shield and regeneration are pretty good. Though if you do switch to FDA, cons...

Having +4 FDA to swap to is probably worthwhile for Zot since you never know when an Orb of Fire will show up, but I'd wear Moon Troll instead for any non-Fire locations of the game. I wouldn't worry about Silence unless you're doing Tomb, and I'd definitely train up Fighting and ignore Dmsl. I thin...

Who do I thank to get bizarre and lewd crawl artwork

Not liking anchovies is an awful cultural artifact perpetuated by mainstream media, much like the shameful slander of brussels sprouts, broccoli, and other delicious but oft-maligned foodstuffs!

it also means "For Real", basically the same thing. here's a question going out to those that enjoy Nemelex: do you like the aspect of stacking decks, identifying top cards, and noting the number of cards drawn from each deck? is it by now a fun, integral part of Nemelex that you're attac...
