For it to be worth having an options screen in-game there need to be enough options that someone might reasonably want to change in the middle of the game. What other options besides autopickup (which already has its own screen) can you think of? Tweaking the TIles GUI? It'd be really nice to have ...

I blast The Royal Jelly with chain lightning... and take off around 80-90% of its health in one go. (Remember, insulate yourself when working with high voltage!)

The +12 Greatsword of Disintegration {distort, rElec Dex+1}

Found in the Elven Halls. Damn. The only problem is that distort is scary as hell to unwield... and I'm using shields on this run. Still, +12 is certainly tempting!

"Get whacked, son!"/"Get whacked!"
This requires some explanation: the free-to-play zombie survival game Unturned uses a single hitsound for all attacks, namely a rather loud *WHACK*. So I started saying that when I took zombies out, and it stuck.

How about firing it on 'triple mode' has a chance to utterly wreck it due to a hideous malfunction? </why Ultra ACs make no sense from a military perspective>

That... that's just pure, undeniable cheese on the part of the game. File a bug report.

Hell effect paralysis should be removed. Fucking MASSIVELY agree'd. Wands of paralysation are fine. They're part of the roguelike experience (à l a Nethack: the gnome zaps a wand of death). The possibility of generating exciting situations where you just barely escape with your life requires that s...

This sounds VERY useful indeed.

Considering how rare rods are, this might make sense as a default. Just my two cents.

Also, why in the world can you stand on top of a submerged monster? That seems to violate the fact that two creatures can't stand in the same spot (player + monster or monster + monster). Note that I discovered this in wizmode, so that might have something to do with it, but I didn't teleport or bl...

Rod of Impulse: Has two functions, 'charge' and 'fire'. Firing the rod spends all charges, but sends a monster flying that many spaces backwards (with some random variation). Damage dealt if it hits a wall is (Spaces remaining)/(28-evocations). If the rod is charged 101 times, it becomes a Rod of Im...

Note to developers: Swamp (and Shoals) would be marginally less tedious if auto-attack approached submerged targets. Submersion in general feels rather annoying. You 'sense a disturbance nearby' but can't actually do anything about it until it surfaces, and also can't autoexplore (despite the fact ...

Really overpowered, but I love the idea. Still, holy crap this is just overpowered as hell.

Quick addition though: no RHoly to start with, that should be tied to the 'good' gods.

It would also completely break the game . People WILL level them to the point of having 27 in every skill. Pointless, but people will do it. And when they get there, the game's balance - and challenge - will be almost nonexistent . People do this anyway, for races that aren't Dg. I've seen it done ...

What.

... was this supposed to be in CYC?

Toasted plain/sesame seed bagel, cut in half, melted provolone cheese, with a slice of pork roll in the middle. Tasty and REALLY filling.

If we're going to keep the current behavior, it might be nice to note that it specifically attacks you in the description.

I never noticed that... then again, I'm not sure I've had monsters step on zot traps that much in my games. Sounds more like a code error though, since it really wouldn't make sense as a design choice. Mobs stepping on Zot traps invoke the effect on you . Assuming you think traps are good, there is ...

1: Same caps as players. This seems sensible enough. It feels a bit odd right now that the player can't summon hoards of monsters for very long, yet monsters can. Particularly annoying when it's a lot of summoners, which is where you REALLY start to wish you had Mass Abjuration. Most noticeable in ...

Ozocubu's Weaponry (Ice, Fighting) - melds any wielded item and creates a weapon made of pure ice in your hand which will freeze your opponents, the type of weapon dependant on your highest weapon skill, base accuracy, damage and delay are dependant on spellpower, as is the duration of that spell, ...

Believe what you will about HRM, but he has done no such thing as suggesting to people not to eat. Is it untrue because YOU cannot survive without food? If a simple experiment can be devised to prove it, and the experiment fails beyond all rational doubt, it is most likely untrue. Additionally, HRM...

The wiki is not an accurate source of information. Especially for trunk.

I love it when Sigmund spawns with a +1, +5 Scythe of Dragon Slaying. On D:3. While I'm playing a draconian.

(Thankfully, I was testing something in WizMode. Still, ow.)

Sigmund. Just a random guy that can pop up out of nowhere and own your ass.

... actually, on that note, I had him show up and utterly OWN a draconian wizmode character I was running. Didn't die, killed him, and checked out his scythe... it was +1, +5 dragon slaying. On d:3. Mein GOTT.

Isn't ponderousness deprecated except for the hat of pondering?

i was hoping they'd remove mf instead Why would you want this? because Mf is really just a completely uninteresting version of SE (removing both would be fine too of course) Personally, I'd like to make Mf more interesting than outright remove it. As is, it's at least more unique than SE was, so it...

Is it just me or are Forest Wyrms knocking me back multiple times in quick succession? I get that they're supposed to be hard to melee, but I think it might be a bit excessive.

If you want an acid spell that is not a bolt/storm/cloud, how about some kind of "acid wave" that creates a wall of acid which moves forward each turn, engulfing everything in its path. It could possibly also expand sideways, starting off 1 tile wide and affecting a larger area as it gets...

When I try to play the current version of Trunk (tiles), it freezes and silently crashes (window closes, no error message). No error log as far as I can see. 0.12.1 works fine. OS is Windows 7, if that helps. EDIT: 0.13-a0-644 works fine, 0.13-a0-678 doesn't. Stranger and stranger. EDIT EDIT: Okaaaa...

Permadeath works for Crawl because it tries its damnedist to avoid the dreaded Yet Another Annoying Death. There are no nearly-unavoidable insta-kills, such as a Gnome with a wand of death rounding the corner and oneshotting you, poison spikes instantly killing you, and so on (using Nethack examples...

I still like the idea. It makes it very different from other 'summon ally' spells.

Perhaps they could even follow modified Battlesphere movement logic, staying close to the player whenever possible?

It sounds like a perma-buff framework would be applicable here: your Max MP is reduced by a set amount per weapon you have dancing for you at a time and they don't time out (though you can cancel them). Combine with "you don't have to individually wield every weapon you want to dance" and...

I hate to break it to you, but it's already just another summoning spell with an odd school setup. It's just more of a pain in the ass to use than other summoning spells. At least it has a unique material cost, and you see the results of paying that cost in a unique way. And to the player, it doesn...

The tedious parts are picking out the best weapons, Not too hard. A half-decent weapon is easy enough to find. (Note I don't say a GOOD weapon. Unless you're in a dire situation, using a good weapon with TD is pretty stupid... and even then, probably not a good idea.) carrying them around, Eh, not ...

There is, I think, precisely one problem with Tukima's Dance - it's just plain bloody tedious to use. So any way of reducing tedium without making it too much more powerful would be good.

Just recently found a +0,+7 Orcish Short Sword of Protection on D:1.

(Sadly, I was mucking about with the new features of Trunk in WizMode at the time.)

Honestly, I'm not the best person to talk to about balance, but this at least appears to be interesting. The concept's still rough, but I could see some sort of steampunk/magitek as something of a new experience race-wise. Now all you've done is make me want a god of body-modification. Non-jiyva. Th...

I was mucking about in the latest Trunk today and came across a +0, +7 Orcish Short Sword of Protection on the first floor.
