Although I'm not exactly a repository of literary knowledge, this project is something I would love to help with. I added a vow for Yred in the gods section, is it alright? The whole section seemed a bit barren, so...

I just started this LP. *shameless self promotion*

I find OgWz is a fantastic build to play with their +2 Spc, +2 Fgt, and +3 M&F aptitudes. Although I haven't gotten much farther then Temple with them, I still find them incredibly fun to play with a nice flexible synergy of magic and melee. They've also taught me a few important lessons I've be...

An ogre...

on a OgWz that netted him enough EXP to go up two levels and a giant club

I just thought of an epic combination - SpDK! Since you're a herbivore, you can resurrect every single corpse if you want to. Trying one out atm.

Thanks, but my idiocy was an idiocy of a much higher level

I just had the stupidest death I've had yet. I had a great GhMo of Kiku rolling along, at level 14, with some nice book finds and on the path to becoming a decent hybrid. I was in Lair, and I tackled 1-7 with no problems, and then found myself in some rather hazardous situations in 8, so I decided t...

You do take a bit of extra damage from fighting jellies unarmed while not wearing gloves (which damages them if they are worn, although GhMos shouldn't be wearing them much in the first place), but it's fairly negligible and very safe unless you're at very low HP. I don't really think it's worth it ...

Nope, they convert the ammo to bolts of fire/cold, so they do indeed do entirely elemental damage, which means any monsters with three pips of resist take no damage from them.

You are probably right about the flat number of turns thing, that won't work out. I think that the Invest idea might be possible, but it just seems a bit iffy and encourages you to sacrifice every little thing that has value to get a good item. As for the Cash Out idea, I think that's way too metaga...

So I was thinking a bit, and I thought to myself about the one thing that most Crawl players encounter all the time and are constantly annoyed by - useless "useful" items that would be great if they had a different character. I then thought, well, why not a god that exchanges your items fo...

Hmm, alright. So basically I keep doing what I've done before, except now with the ring mail.

Alright everyone, thanks, I'll start using the ring mail since it helps with using the katana anyways due to the DEX bonus. I think the INT bonus was three or four, and that's on top of the other randart I found, so casting should be fine. @minmay Maybe, but I still wanted some of the other spells, ...

So I've taken up crawling again after taking a long break and trying some other rougelikes, and I've started up a new character that's actually gotten somewhere. His name is Morul the Black, and he is of course a DDNe of Kiku. So, first I think I should show my dump: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version...

The moment after you find a book with spammals in it, you will find an altar of Okawaru.

Isn't dwarven "assasination" just dumping magma on (insert your noble of choice)? :P This is a vile slander that serves only to perpetuate a tedious and undeserved stereotype. The dwarven nobility are held in great esteem by their peoples, and the odd rash of freak accidents that have occ...

I just dump it in one big pile on Lair:2. Inefficient, but it works since I usually don't get too far anyways.

Bah, wrong thread. Sorry. Meant to post in the "immutable rules of the dungeon of Zot" thread.

If you quaff a potion of resistance before trying to take on a sleeping Nikola, then you will manage to sneak up on him and kill him in one hit.

Try using the search function for Windows Explorer, then? I'm not too sure what else you can do besides that, sorry.

Are you sure? It should be in the same folder where the crawl application is in...

You press Shift-3, and then the dump comes up as a .txt file in the morgue folder. EDIT: Wait, do you mean you want to look up a character that already won? That should also be in the morgue folder. EDIT by Napkin: Players with non-US keyboard need to press the key producing a # to dump their active...

Isn't dwarven "assasination" just dumping magma on (insert your noble of choice)?

Umm, aren't all Dwarf Fortress artifacts randomly generated? Granted, most of them are stupid things like hatch covers and floodgates, but they still count

I just was playing my HaBe, and got my first rune ever (Swamp, and it was the *shiver* ice ending too). Then I thought, "Hmm, I've got a ring of cTele, Vault has Nikola on floor one which is suicidal without rElec, and I've cleared Snake 1-4, so why not grab that rune?" So I ran over to Sn...

Weird, then, I got it from a potion of mutation, although then again I'm playing trunk...

What does this actually do? The wiki has nothing on it, but I think it has something to do with sensing monsters?

I say go with short blades but find a different one, draining will lead you to a horrible death like mine over here - viewtopic.php?f=12&t=287

Okawaru

You could probably fill all of your armor slots and abandon him for something else later, I don't know how much you'd like that plan though.

Alright, that sounds good, thanks. Should I go to D:20ish to find the Vaults entrance and some decent jewelry, then come back to Swamp and try to take that on?

I've been playing a pretty awesome level 13 FeBe with a +0, +4 ring of slaying, ring of sustenance, and an amulet of clarity. I've just cleared Lair+Orc, but now I've got a dilemma about where to go next. Should I clear Hive or Swamp? I need rPois for both, but the amulet of clarity should be able t...

If you really want to take Sigmund easily, play a Berserker. Any kind work, but Troll and Kobold are generally the best. However, pretty much ANY race with Berserk should (keyword: should) be able to take him down.

I guess that works too, but that's probably better if you're certain what's in other parts of the dungeon.

Since when was Sigmund's name Sigfried? But yeah, generally you will want to run. Go to the next level, and once you've raised your experience level by a bit come back and kill him. Also, another hint - when facing large amounts of melee enemies in an open area, try to "stair dance". Basic...

Q - the ring of Coward (right hand) {rF+ rC+ Acc+4 Dam+4 SInv Stlth++}

I found that rather ironic

Maybe we need some new melee-support conjurations instead of simply creating new books? How about these - Explosive Flames - Creates "landmines" in an area around the Reaver. (Although this one does admittedly stack the favor of Reavers to fire...) Numbing Frost - Does small damage to a mo...

I was just about to post that a few minutes ago >.>

I think it was the quick blade of draining I was relying on...

Uhh, yes. And Swamp/Snake 1-4.

So what was that about skipping? Unless you wanted me to go into EH, I'm not sure what I "skipped"...

Skip stuff? I thought I was going in the proper order...

I guess I should have done swamp end... and... really, I have no clue what I could have skipped...

I was trying to find the Vaults :/

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.7.1-1-g7ce9b19 character file. 85806 Morifet the Swashbuckler (level 16, -10/107 HPs) Began as a Kobold Berserker on Jan 7, 2011. Was the Champion of Trog. Shot with an arrow by a centaur warrior (17 damage) ... on Level 18 of the Dungeon on Jan 11, 2011. The game...

No, slings is it's own skill. It does crosstrain with throwing, though.

Yet another gift to stash

Ah well, at least I can say I've found my first unrandart.

I've already got rPois though, from an artifact buckler I found.

Trog, ever the pragmatist, saw fit to gift my KoBe a Staff of Olgreb. While I have to admit it might be a good idea to take a side path in Evocations, I'm not really sure what's the best way to use this thing in the first place, so any advice? Currently I'm on Snake:2, so it won't have too much of a...

Ehh, I've taken a liking to the short sword, given that it takes care of hydras wonderfully. Still, I'll remember to consider the dagger (I'm still lugging it around for some reason anyways).

I THINK that this one is a pretty one sided decision, but...

the +5, +2 short sword "Jyot {god gift, flame, EV +1}

or

+0, +2 dagger of speed

I'm pretty sure the short sword, but should I lug around the dagger too? I'm playing a KoBe.

A god of vanity, maybe? Perhaps you could gain piety by purposely alerting monsters to your presence, and you get a combat boost depending on how many monsters are trying to attack you at the same time?

Corrupt your weapon - If you pray on an altar while your Piety is >= 160 and wielding a non-artifact weapon which doesn't have the Distortion brand, Lugonu will corrupt your weapon. Corrupting a weapon removes any curse, adds +1d2/+1d2 to its enchantment, and adds the Distortion brand to it. This i...
