Not very, unless you have some extra slaying items, since they no longer stun.

Then you should walk/tele/blink/dig/disintigrate until you got the monster in a corridor.

Not care about inv!
There are almost no situations were an inv monster is actually invisible.
You can force cast with "Z".

Black pearl

I'd switch to Gozag (tho its a bit late for that) or any ally god to executioner distractstab my way to victory. Ukalele the new god paralyses and is also an option.

Same for flocks of sheep they're just behehad.

Hello, kids, we're going to solve a simple math task today! One has a full inventory and is standing on top of N (N<53) unknown books. What's the minimal number of turns one needs to read all the books and keep the initial inventory? As always, picking any number of items costs one turn and droppin...

Odd,
Unrelated perhaps, but unless I misremember; didnt "trailer park vixen" used to have an avatar?

I'd use spellbinder;
It gives you extra mr+
Its an antimagic demon whip the most dangerous foes except a few are therefore affected
It does extra "damage" due to miscast effects.
But most importantly,
How often do you get the chance to actually play with such a cool weapon?

Party orb should be a new unique 8-)

Abbilities:
Beer blast
Mdma shot
Laser show.

Sadly it works really bad with any ranged abillity/weapons/spells. Should make misseles go through it like ds demonic pals mut.

Whatever happened to that great iron dragon hide into shield of super resistance idea?

So I have this demigod ie, just cleared orc2 and have no wpnskills trained yet, have freezing cloud castable and acces to 3 rods of clouds in orc shops. But, I also found: a +12 double sword (slice, rc+ mp+9) and the mythrill axe "arga" +8 broad axe (speed, mr+, str+2). Which of these weap...

Planeswalkers should be unique in the fact that you can port your character to other planes (roguelikes).

Either I've been terribly unlucky, but I've noticed after scumming 30 or so, that you can't get both high dex and int on a wanderer, especially relevant for dr and op.

What I meant was it doesn't feel intuitive, it feels odd that some moves would take more "time" then others. Especially concerning movement. And I think most players including me dont worry about "time" during the game that much, except for when to swap armour/memorise. This is w...

Another problen is how do you communicate this to new players or anyone who's not keeping up to date constantly?
Also its quite illogical too have fast species which arent actually fast.

the lengths people go to in order to try to prove melee in crawl is good compared to ranged attacks, or that it's useful in conjunction with ranged attacks for anything other than convenience (hint it isn't either one) are hilarious everyone gets melee because ranged attacks have a flawed design th...

Frankly it is one of the best and most undervalued DS mutations. Especially lategame it's quite OP.

When I have time I'll dive into this and make a nice post with a lot of links and a solid write-up, which then, could be stickied.

Hopefully the elitist mentality and thanks baiting will return soon!

A sticky for this and rc file stuff in gdd would be great!

This forum always teaches me a lot about communication. On the one hand the people here roll with what they think is a good idea, which never get's done and rehashed until infinity, on the other, the people with the ideas tend to think everything is easy to implement. And still we end up with a grea...

If you're playing to win, you know the answer to that one

If you're playing for awesomesauce? Go Ash!!! 8-)

I think too many of these warnings would become terribly annoying.
Imho there are too many already.

Fling Thorns: how barb works for enemies? On the paper it sounds a very abusable power against speed 10 monster: you hit them once, you walk away until they bleed, you repeat until the thing is dead without ever going into melee range or possibly having it always out of LOS. If it is so, this power...

1: remove tavern
2:get devs a real job
3: add twelwe to devteam
4: return of mountain dwarf even tough nobody actually cares
5: tell bcadren to actually start coding stuff

While you're at it ask for beogh follower upgrades to return to 0.16 status!

Downloading a new version and moving the save file might work.

Collect them all to get an easter bunny ally!

This would be awesome!

Yeah, I agree with you. I was just addressing Lacuenta's comment about losing access to 2 handers, which wasn't really relevant to this particular discussion of SH. Probably the most important restriction shields face compared to EV is the inability to block bolts/breath. Seriously limits their per...

The idea is that you'd auto-eat on the last action you could take before dying of starvation...so it would be impossible to die of starvation with food in inventory. I misunderstood, well seems fine to me. Could be a start to remove food, since you can't die from it anymore (even through your own b...

The few combat situations (not counting random hungry ghost enc) where I was starving mostly due to high lvl spells or rod spam, I wouldn't want my character to auto-eat a meat or bread ration, because missing those 3 turns would've probably killed me. I tend to only carry rations and carrying extra...

but on a serious note has the patch been pushed to all servers or is there still hope of playing a goodpak game somewhere I have a offline Tiles version, I downloaded a few days ago, without the patch, if you're interested.

As mentioned it does not.

I have a offline Tiles version, I downloaded a few days ago, without the patch, if you're interested.

Its called: "Spellcasting"
I take it most new players figure it is important for casting spells.

Seems fine to me as well, conjurations are also non-elemental so there is precedence and the wand doesn't seem too powerfull.

I tend to avoid rupert especially when he's carrying a holy weapon! Anyway unless you have a win% to keep up or in for a challenge game, just quit if your ds becomes monstrous particularly on a caster. (Being monstrous will cost you 10-15ac depending on scales and ofc resists and other intrinsics) Y...

Imho ice and neg energy 3rd facets are a lot more boring. Since they don't do anything. Wel ok, Ice gives rc+ I guess. Black mark used to be good when it still gave vampirism (even against demon/undead). Now it really doesn't do anything. I think those should be made more interesting first before fi...

Interesting trick wonder if it works, I'd normally advice to train fighting over spellcasting to 5 with a monk tho, especially early
I do however train evo a lot earlier and longer on melee Vs then on other species. Free hp and ranged solution package deal

Sar wrote:It can. It was at some point changed, but then reverted. No special cases for you!

I see well in that case remove shop mimics entirely, what is the point of them anyway, make the player feel bad? Might as well just spawn less shops if thats their reason for existence.

Try 0.16 Beogh was a lot better back then ;) I'm gonna assume this was trolling (but if it's not, I'm genuinely curious why); I choose .17 because I ran into follower bugs last time I was playing my orc on trunk and didn't feel like them snubbing my gifts (again). I also wanted to play an invocatio...

Counterpoint; it would make the game (a lot) easier. I don't think one of the 4 guarenteed orc:2 shops can be a mimic.

Ah damn, I wish I was playing my Beogh character on trunk instead of .17 so I could test this out, sounds like a nice little treat. It seems like this will be a very nice way to more reliably get the special orcs, St. Rokka, Nergalle, etc. Some questions: * Do the fallen orc automatically pick up t...

Not really and you do get to block lcs and ood, the most important restriction is you do not get to use 2-handers.
