I don't think a species that wants to turn off autoexplore for food management reasons and carry 20 useless artifacts every game is going to go over very well. There are fundamental gameplay problems with the interaction between species size and equipment restrictions on a species where your equipm...

Yeah sorry, posted in wrong place, I reported it as such to be moved.

Goal Medium difficulty health-tank warrior-mage whose inventory choices have strategic and tactical impact. Also I've always wanted a "D&D gelatinous cube" kind of species to play. Description Proteans are a race of vaguely humanoid amoebas. Their mostly amorphous bodies struggle to m...

pedritolo wrote:Have you considered macroing 'Tab o' instead?

Yeah that works to stop before auto-attacking... but if you kill something and they don't drop items then you will automatically run off to the next fight.

I'm currently playing the most on my Android phone, portrait orientation. While I've manage to macro up my game to make it very playable, the UI leaves a lot to be desired as phone screen dimensions get wider and wider aspect ratios. I play so much that I'd be willing to pay someone to add a couple ...

Any chance 0.16 will get an android ascii port? Really really wish this was part of the official ports... Barbs done a great job, feel guilty asking so soon after 0.15.2 just reached play store.

I have been playing some CeWr on this version and noticed a few bugs. Fedas evolution is broken. All plants and toadstools turn in to monsters called Coding Bug, represented by B. They are immobile and take one hit. Not very usefull, compared to oklobs. Other issue is with monsters following you up...

Reason: Ranged weapon users have a variety of unrandarts to choose from. However, the Throwing skill only has The Blowgun of the Assassin which is useful only for needles. This leaves tomahawks, javelins and large rocks all lacking any type of unrandart. This is somewhat inevitable since there are ...

Awesome, so fast! You sir are a god among men

That would be awesome, please let me know if you need help testing anything.

I've been trying to contact the guy who ported DCSS ascii to Android, but have not been getting any response recently. I'm hoping someone out there with Xubuntu or Mac OS X can update the port in his absence. Sadly I'm Windows only, otherwise I'd give it a shot. He's got ample instructions for it he...

I seem to be the only fan of your corrosion mechanic. What if it were an active ability, e.g. something like "Secrete Corrosion". It still can be something that doesn't trigger at every hit, but at least you can turn it off if its too annoying. I do agree that acid branding of weapon seem...

Couple quick notes... the idea was to have a species for whom the vast amount of trash equipment lying around is in fact useful until you've attained aterfacts. So perhaps in order to cut down on the tedium of corrosion, it should be an *attempt* at corrosion. This would still deal the bonus acid da...

Caiman are reptilian people of the swamp, imbued with extremely corrosive skin that is so powerful they can digest their prey through mere touch. They can grow be to monstrous in size if they wish, or stay small and evasive. They are among the few species who actively collect and use even the most m...

Would one be able to walk through venom vines? Casting one behind you sounds strong+fun if you can. I like the idea of creating poisonous plants to help you. Giving them constrict would be cool/thematic but probably too strong(though probably not too strong for a level 8 spell?). Think they should ...

Yeah reworked the description a bit. I didn't intend it to be only self cast, but also usable to buff living allies, with the caveat that as powerful as it is, it could backfire with the indiscriminate bonus attacks. Maybe I didn't describe it right, but the poisoning is applied to any attacker who ...

Is there an unspoken rule that it can't come from other sources? Also, it's why I went with a corpse as a requirement for initiating the spell. What other spells involve corpses but aren't Necromancy? Hmm, while technically not spells, Decomposition and Powered By Pain come to mind, and are not tie...

I know poison magic late game viability has been discussed, and it seems ultimately theme was chosen over effectiveness due to the plentitude of late game options, but I'd still like to see viable poison spells for 15 rune runs. Here's my idea for 3 spells that would help on this, while still respec...

Why not have categories instead?

If I press "I" I would see:

r)ecent pickups
h)eaviest
w)eapons
a)rmor
s)crolls
p)otions
j)ewelry
...etc.

which would give me 52 of each item type, and a quicker way to get to lists that I want. At the worst, could make this togglable by config setting.

Emancipate - (12 Piety, Breath) - Detonates all souls in LOS, causing them to explode and deal 1d(Invocation/2) damage to all living enemies around them, with a chance to cause distraction. Obviously numbers are subject to change, but I'm wondering how powerful this ability is meant to be. For comp...

soul sense should have a guaranteed spawn 2-3 tiles away from the player so the regeneration effect never starts immediately upon killing a living being, which would bee to close to the demonspawn mutation and existing god mp/hp for kills (veh,mak). Likewise, a soul should only linger for a few tur...

Thanks, high praise! I think your feedback is spot on. - River of Reverence was something I originally wanted to also give some proximity vision down the path so that you could utilize all three entrance stairs to a floor to recon, themed as spirit guides. If the silence were of the entire enclosed ...

I like the non-metal theme, with leather armors permitted but no ring mail or heavier (except dragon). Allowing air and earth without anti-training might be odd, and the race does seem generally a bit too strong, although it wouldn't be hard to nerf it once playtesting started. I don't think a race...

I think the polymorphing into an enemy idea has been discussed multiple times and the problem of it is that it would probably lead to very tedious and gameable gaming experience which would be really had to balance. It could be optimal to leave some types of monsters alive in certain places etc. (v...

Leshy Race The Leshii are spiritual forest folk, often thought to be the soul of the trees themselves due to their treant-like appearance. While they're plantlike by nature, the wild magics of the forest allows them to change their flesh and appearance to that of their victims, and making them exce...

I think it's pretty interesting. I would say, his piety should decay REALLY fast if you aren't exploring new areas. So much so, that the character has a disincentive to rest. Balance that with a way to spend piety to heal, maybe? The effect could be a god who is all about go, go, go, encouraging a ...

I think the major thing your proposal is missing is something I call "elegance." Basically, I can't see much emergent behavior sprouting up around the toolset you've provided here. [/list] Really good feedback overall, and made me think hard on this. I think the trap I fell into was my de...

The god itself seems interesting. Throw self seems a bit contradictory though - you're suddenly going into melee range, which prevents piety gain, and it's also essentially a translocations spell, which is depreciated. Hmm yeah, I should say that Throw Self itself should be considered a ranged atta...

nordetsa wrote:Also, getting piety seems like a hassle. If killing enemies right next to you doesn't give piety, then you're pretty much forced to walk away from monsters every time.

You would still be able to gain piety in melee range by killing with projectile based attack, but point taken.

Kavalyn is the violent god of delivery, the patron saint of going from point A to point B, preferably with death involved.

Ah that is a shame then, oh well.

Would love for this to work... I imagine passwall + omniscient DD and Ash vision + scrying would make for some fun, but the lack of healing is a challenge. Looking for ideas on how this could be made to work.
