Invisibility is a very good buff even if you don't stab

I suppose you didn't notice, but Elyvilon was already reformed.

Unfortunately, the new version is even less fun than the old.

Slime is a decent alternative to vaults:5 for a decent number of characters (a considerably better choice than abyss at any rate)

Vampiric Draining is extremely good at all points of the game

Fragile rings (that is, rings that break on removal) would admittedly be drastic. Here are my thoughts: Fragile rings would be an improvement in the context of tedious ring switching by removing the option to swap them more than once. Rings would become somewhat more like consumables with a persiste...

What if all rings were fragile?

Examine Grinder with xv. Is he too strong to be recited?

OR, just make all loot ID'ed by default.

Food causes some awful inventory annoyances as well. I can't help but wonder how incredibly often I get the "inventory is full, shall I ignore this" prompt from one of SIX types of food available for a normal character. Having six items do the same thing, especially when that thing isn't v...

FTFY

I would not wear swamp dragon armour on this character (or at least spend enchantment scrolls on it). Ideal armour imo would be something like quicksilver or ice dragon armour, assuming that it doesn't affect your spellcasting much. Ru's abilities all scale with piety. That includes the active abili...

I like this suggestion. Simple and beneficial. @archaeo: I have previously been one of the most vehement anti-vampire players (I think there is vampire hate speech in my rcfile still), but I feel they are much more playable after their more recent quality of life changes. In some ways their food gam...

Usually the best way to deal with this kind of trove is to pretend it doesn't exist.

Congrats on the streak. Vashnia is tough and sharpshooters don't miss much :\ Your ghost was a real pain to kill!

Ghosts can lead to the most degenerate fights in the whole game. This only makes sense, seeing as they are non-designed monsters. For example, today I killed bcadren's awful, awful felid ghost that had 69 HP, 41 EV and good melee. Stairs all right next to each other. Can't run away, but it can't kil...

Don't be silly, spoilery gimmicks are only allowed on some uniques, like Maurice.

Are you playing the most current version? I recall this was an issue fixed sometime after Dith's inception.

EDIT: I should say I recall it being an issue, but I am having trouble finding if it was ever fixed.

You could, of course, adjust it for the crazy amount of exploration in the abyss, temporary mutations would just last forever everywhere else. I think that experience works well because it forces the mutations to have an effect. Exploration gating may encourage wandering the abyss just to get rid of...

I think you haven't actually done that

Admiration accepted.

The code only mentions switching away from shadow dragons and golden dragons for good gods and TSO, respectively. This may catch fire dragons for dith, but I don't have wizmode on hand to test it. // For good gods, switch away from shadow dragons (and, for TSO, // golden dragons, since they poison) ...

Sounds like a good new monster for Depths

I am 100% sure that the game prompts before doing anything that dynast mentioned. My guess would be an elemental evoker since they don't have targeters at all (except phial)

I also got penance for a good god by using tukima on a demon trident, but that's not Beogh.

If you get penance without warning it is probably a bug, not an intentional change as you bizarrely imply. Do you remember what you did to make this happen?

The best way to look at it is a matter of simplicity. You die when your hp reaches 0. That's it. It's easy to understand and all the ways the game tries to kill you revolve around it. Satiation drain subverts this dogma, and doesn't add anything interesting in return. I would further argue that the ...

Why are you confused that you died with most of your health? You can die tons of ways other than running out of hp; haven't you ever played Nethack?

You are supposed to Ctrl-q 'yes' when you get in the abyss because it's better than playing in the abyss

I am confused that you are comparing rod of the swarm to sack of spiders. Sure sack of spiders is stronger than rod of the swarm. It also is stronger than most other items in the game. I am also surprised that you feel it is redundant with anything. In my view swarm is one of the most unique spells ...

I really hate Ely and I don't care if it's good. The new piety is really off and you don't get enough of it to actually use powers. Even if that wasn't true the abilities still eat up entire feasts of food for no reason and it's such a pain.

It was proposed to have some chance of orc resurrection for dead allies, but I don't think that ever advanced beyond the "idea on the dev wiki" stage.

Monster spells often have different numbers from player spells.

What's next, damage that destroys items in your inventory?

Fixed that for you

In the current state of the game, corpses to gold is problematic for two reasons: 1. Species that require chunks are implicitly disallowed 2. Necromancy spells are implicitly disallowed The main (but not only) reason these are bad is the implicit portion. Following Gozag as a chunk guy or Vp is basi...

I just played a Gozag game and one bribe pretty much trivialized Zot:5. Two allied orb guardians helped me into a lung. Then an OOF turned friendly. I backed out for a minute to heal and when I went back in everything from the orb chamber to the other lung was empty and covered in blood. It was a li...

IMO the corpse destroying conduct isn't very interesting (like most things regarding food) but if it sticks around it should at least warn you before learning corpse using spells and the like. Letting the player learn useless spells is a subtle interface screw.

No monsters cast this spell at the time of this posting.

A good place to check up on recent changes in trunk is the list of commits on github at https://github.com/crawl/crawl/commits/master

What a non-power funding a food shop is.

So this was my first tournament that I had very much participation, and overall I am pretty satisfied with my results. I came in 23rd, with a 37% win rate. My most notable game was probably my first. It was a HOAs that broke my personal turn count and real time records, as well as being the lowest t...

There are plenty of spells that are quite good at killing things at level 5 and don't also give you cancer.

I have used irradiate before and it does hit hard but incompatibility with haste or itself are major deterrents for me.

This thread is so dumb I want to tip myself

I don't think that it's easy that a spell that has the potential if not the assurance to make you take more damage is too strong defensively. Also, I think you are confused at the intent of the critics of the spell. It's not that it's "too weak," as that implies that making it stronger wou...

In my experience, confuse can work with conjurations similarly to how it works with stabbing. A lot of things are vulnerable to confusion (especially with the spellpower that would come easily to this character) and confusion is a long duration and near-total disable that is useful whether you are p...

According to spl-summoning.cc, duration is fixed and does not increase with spellpower.

Fun fact, ravens used to not have blood!

I think you would have a problem before apport

It's also interesting that they are undead

No.

I agree with the teens range for Sif. Basically the more invo you have the more mp you get. Having infinite mp on characters that cast spells is very good.
