(Reposting from another thread because it is relevant here.) I just had an idea to fix regeneration: Regeneration costs a percentage amount of health to cast, and will prevent regeneration for the player above their damaged hp value after casting. Also the regeneration is faster acting. This prevent...

I just had an idea to fix regeneration: Regeneration costs a percentage amount of health to cast, and will only regenerate external hp damage after the cast. This prevents the optimal strategy from being just to cast regeneration while resting every time.

Note: The name is a placeholder. Description: Pran-Zali is a shrewd god of the sea that values freedom and lust for adventure and treassure. Followers of Pran-Zali often live on the edge of society as buccaneers, rogues, adventurers or other sorts of scum. While Pran-Zali certainly loves a good dis...

I am currently learning javascript. Can you please restate the question you are asking, the way it is worded is kind of confusing.

I have finished a crawl tribute webpage:

If anyone has any advice for these dedications to the awesomeness that is Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, I would like to hear it. Thanks.

Some ideas for more poison spells: -A poison the player takes that buffs the player, at a particular cost. Hard to say what form this would take. -A Hexes/Poison spell that temporarily allows an enemy to be poisoned while they remain in your sight, even enemies that would normally be immune. If the ...

the basic problem you're describing, being unable to easily tell what spells you can memorize, is real & something i've seen people (justifiably) complain about before. two alternate thoughts for fixing it: (1) allow (M)emorizing from any book that exists anywhere in the dungeon; destroying a b...

Wait was I one of these players?

I was also thinking about no mp costs. That would be an interesting race, but the no mp costs boon would need some other corresponding drawback. Either a form of cool down (like sifts free castings), or another interesting drawback (you take damage when monsters are near you) would be interesting.

Thoughts (I have not play tested though) 1. I fail to see why anti magic weapons can't be wielded. An alternate disadvantage (such as reducing health) could be used instead. 2. Same for worshipping trog. Although this race could be broken with trog, the ban looks weird. 3. I would either allow all g...

Water nymphs stealing staircases really sucks (upward staircases no less... come on that makes no sense! If the stairs are so flooded I can't see them, then the whole damn level must be flooded! So why can't I just swim up to the previous floor?!??!?) Because it temporarily transforms the stairs in...

Isn't gozag already the alchemy god? He gives you the uber-potion and turns your enemies to gold.

Why not make Qazlal give immunity to your clouds for friendly allies? Especially since one of the abilities is summoning. This would allow for summoner play, and ensures that qazlal doesn't kill your allies unfairly.

What about having all of the fire clouds/burning you generate be extinguished immediately? Doesn't make fire useless, but it fits well with the theme.

Why not make it a targeted cloud (with more corpses) or smite targeted poison (with less) that takes corpses in LOS to fuel? 1 small corpse gets some poison, but with more corpses in LOS it builds it up to a corpse cloud effect.

I was on the last level of the ziggurat. I was dismayed to hear "You hear a slurping noise" when I met my enemies. I fought some shape changers, and my best guess was that they digested several items in their jelly form. As slime levels have their contents protected from these slimes, it w...

In trunk, ring of flames has weird behavior. If you cast ring of flames and it ends, it can block auto explore and you can end up in a cloud of flame. Is this intended?

What about the hat making you invisible as long as you aren't seen? (Thinking of mystery men right now.) So as long as monsters don't notice you, you have invisibility, great for trying to set up a stab opportunity, but as soon as something notices you (ie not distracted/sleeping/hasn't spotted you)...

What could make the labyrinth an interesting challenge: 1. Remove map rot. 2. Players cannot regenerate health before the minotaur. They also (slowly) start taking damage. But there is a mercy full heal beforehand. This would be a more interesting clock. 3. Multiple branching paths that all eventual...

Hope this isn't thread necromancy, but I had an idea, wouldn't Fire/Summoning fit Fire Storm better than Fire/Conjurations? But I agree that there is too much in conjurations. Why not make Glaciate Ice/Hexes?

Ideas: For piety gain, maybe it would be better to only award it if you actively move towards monsters during a combat. Breaking this awards a permanent unimpressed status effect to the monsters that saw you do this, and you don't earn piety. To help with this, when there are monsters that aren't un...

I think sif muna could have some improvements. As a replacement for channel energy, sif muna's followers can gain a studying buff for standing still and not attacking/using abilities after a certain number of auts (Haste reduces the amount of time that you need to study to get the buff). This buff c...

Why should chei worshippers need to hurry? As a passive of chei, vault timers are slowed, similarly to how spawn rate is slowed during the orb run.

First of all different changes to sif, including the one you suggested, can be found here: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13721 I suggested the mana refund on miscasts. However the problem with sif's miscast protection is that a spell with a high miscast rate is probably goi...

I think

should be :/ and switched with

in interest level but otherwise this looks very xomish.

Statue form is already compelling enough to casters. Adding archmagi would make it too strong. Although I could see the rationale for adding an earth enchancer, and I don't think thats problematic.

I guess the point of the telekinetic weapon is to allow them to use weapon skills in a different way. I wonder if felids can be reworked viably though.

I have an idea for a felid ability: telekinetic wielding. Basically, felids, acting as servants for their masters, had the natural ability to carry things telekinetically with their mind to aid their masters (which explains their awesome aptitude for translocations magic). However, adventuring felid...

The idea behind the proposal is to simplify decks for Nemelex worshippers while keeping the decks in a way that allows non-worshippers to still find and use them, especially since the devs have been making efforts at creating unique abilities for cards, which would make decks (if more consistent wi...

Or maybe, as a passive of follow Gozag, you find additional abandoned stores occasionally in the dungeon. It is your job to call up merchants to fill those abandoned stores.

I just had an idea for balancing charms: Rework some of these charms to have an infinite duration while they are memorized, turning them into an always active passive. The catch is that it will take more spell levels to learn them, the passives will only be active while failure chance is below a % (...

Thus I propose giving Sif a piety-costing capstone invocation that makes the next spellcast guaranteed to successfully cast.* Simply knowledge of a spell will give you the actual ability to cast that spell using Sif's blessing. This would make Sif more distinct: Sif would actively gift you books, r...

For buffing sif a little, I would rework the miscast protection to additionally refund half of the spent mana whenever it triggers (round down). Because sif is the master of channeling magical energy, it makes sense that she would be able to help you get back some mana from a failed spell. For chann...

Dump: crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/eliotn/morgue-eliotn-20140919-164937.txt This is my second win in crawl (I did the first one with a Mountain Dwarf back in Crawl 0.4.5, when armour was OP). I felt that Conjurer had an easier start with some solid early-midgame spells in their starting book. I starte...
