Jaden stahp. Stahp, Jaden.

I proposed same thing few years ago. Answer was: "This is active ability and any abilities are not suited for a total RNGod" or something like that

no

Gozag IS the problem so don't even bring him up as an argument.
In short - leave ghouls alone. They are fine. Rotting, but fine.

I'm not advocating for 15+ types of food. I just saying that it would be good if there were a meaningful difference between carnivore and herbivore food types.

Personally, I'm saddened that now it's more logical to merge two rations into one, instead of differentiating them enough to avoid that. But with gradual dumbing down of a food system there is not much point to have so many food items. Possibly, when there's only one food type left - food system mig...

I had this proposal in a Mantis for a long time. I suppose, yours is much simpler.

Well, it may be not so pretty as radial explosions but much more consistent.

I knew it! It's a first step to commercial DCSS app! First step would be making it playable for v.0.16. Because right now it crashes on a New game. Back on topic: So square LOS means that every other spell and ability targeting will be square too? What about big explosions? They will be square as S...

Also 7x7 LOS is better for Android builds and small screens (like mine), because with 8x8 LOS 3 edge tiles didn't do anything basically, but make everything else too small to see on a smartphone.

Another god without piety and Invocation skill requirement? Thanks, but no.

In my latest 16.1 win I wondered why Tukima's was so weak. In comparison Confuse and Tukima had the same chance to proc. But why would I even try to disarm something if I could confuse and one-shot-stab it instead? I hope in trunk Tukima's buffed considerably.

Mmm, they are sour and a bit chewy. But you gotta catch a whole lot for a decent chomp!
Sorry for derail. What was it? Balls? Balls it is, then.

For me it's the easiest one, with spider/snake being moderate and shoals being brutal!

@duvessa
Enjoy

It does not remove transformations outright but shorten its duration to 1 turn.

congrats!
did you know that potions of cancellation remove confusion as well?

Ok. This bullshit has to stop. I cleared a level. I know it because it is fully explored, I'm a conjurer of Veh with loud spells and it's more or less open level. I descend, explore half of next level and when can't handle a pack of skeletal warriors retreat to previously explored level(D10)... Mess...

Gozag would work better reflavoured as an alchemy god. Innate bonuses to Transmutations spells (extended duration, +1 Skill aptitude), and access to the removed spells Evaporation and whichever one made potions (though corpse dropping would need rework; perhaps make the spell create gold when cast ...

God of Music and Singing in CrawL? Like it! Like it more because of new possible caster god. Sif has active mp regen and spells, Veh has passive mp regen and spells, Myr have nothing of it BUT it protects from silence - one giant weakness of spellcasters, and i think that's not overpowered at all.

Got my Demonspawn Wanderer win just now ( dump ). Started with staves and some Transmutations. First book that i found had Irradiate in it. And since I just love this spell i memorized it immediately. It had 100% failure naturally and I set a goal to make melee-using character that can cast Irradiat...

I love it when my pussy is a pussy magnet!
Killed Natasha and 10 turn or so she came back to die a second time

Yup, I'm always save scrolls of silence for Liches in a 3-rune game, on my melee characters.

Congrats!
Try Gargoyle EE. Had fun with them. Also they not as squishy as DElfs. Nice resists too.
Be very cautious with Jorgun and Mara though.

My first thought was: "What? He plays 1 turn per day?"
Apparently I'm playing Crawl too much.

Best for hybrids and durable casters. Personally, I'm loving it. Used it extensively on my GrEE.
Contamination kicks in to yellow after 3-4 casts and most things after 2 casts (with decent spellpower) are dead or heavily injured anyway.
Also, awesome animation in tiles!

Thanks!
I had an option to sacrifice durability once, but decided that 10-ish AC is better than nothing. I sacced magic essence mostly after the hand. I had around ---Wiz I think.

I think you got it nailed: Mark and glow are the most usual cases for me. I guess I've once used it for petrification. It is a potion which you wish you don't have to use, but when the situation comes, it is very valuable. But yeah, description would be nice. it works for petrification? Because it ...

For me, it feels like a less important pot. It lingers in my inventory without use for most of the time. I used it maybe twice to shrug off Mark, once to dispel yellow contamination (had pretty small effect), very rare slow once in awhile and that's it. Yesterday I met Jorgun and when started to pet...

Last Oka game:
"Hmm, I see you are using a +2 longbow of frost. Here's another one!"

If we give you hammers, next thing you ask for might be nails? :) no-no-no, i wanted War hammers, so next I would ask war nails. Sounds not much sillier than triple swords :lol: Throwing weapons! And Kobolds will use it instead of stones! And have different brands! Dispersal and poison! Wait a seco...

@dpeg 2) I don't really see a problem here. There's already description in all weapons that states to which skill it corresponds. Logically hammers fall more into Maces and Flails category (blunt weapon) than all kinds of whips. It just feels off that Crawl universe have all kinds of similar-looking...

Have a bunch of small ideas, wanted to share it with you. Posting them all in one thread for convenience. 1) Yredelemnul and Dithmenos altars look similar on a dungeon floor background. Maybe Dith altar should be changed? 2) Why do we have so many maces and only one (mundane) hammer? We need a 2H Wa...

Mild one. When I just started playing I met a lone yak in an early dungeon (somewhere in D6-8). Thinking to myself that it was some tame herbivore animal, it could be killed easily, I recklessly rushed into it. To my wonder it just devastated my character very quickly. That day I learned to fear The...

I think it's an interesting idea, but would't it mean that you would want to keep recasting the bubble so that you were always standing in it while exploring? Hunger, MP. Casting it every time you move one screen away is non-optimal to say the least. I would prefer to see more reasons to move durin...

Trying to not overload GDD with less massive proposals, so posting here. In Charms change(once again) topic about aforementioned spells school, among many other ideas, someone mentioned that spells should be situational and not "passive". So what I bring for consideration: Combine both of ...

Orb of Zot is Evil, no doubt about that. Instead of bringing it out in the world, my troll looked outside of the dungeon one last time and jumped in the lava near lair entrance. Maybe it's a Xom's insane influence, but I hope Woxx's sacrifice wasn't in vain and Orb will be destroyed in lava. At leas...

Thanks for the advice, guys.

Edit: wizmoded, seems like they do increase speed for a flying Gr.

Yup, it seems you are right.

1) If I'm a Gargoyle and Flying, does they increase my speed?
2) Does they stack with Swiftness spell?
3) Does they stack with Haste potion?
4) Does they look good with this purse?

Ironically enough, this exact character died on D2 to Sigmund due to Overconfidence ("i'm 4th lvl man, killed a boggart etc")
