really? so meat shields are worth nothing? Monstrous Menagerie this spell can easily carry you all the way to zot, harpies are extremely deadly actually and you summon more of them as your spell power goes up. Malign Gateway even if it was the worst spell in the game it's still the most fun to use a...

unless you get red and receive a free pass for several levels.

i once entered a relatively early ice cave and faced 2 ghosts that were closer to the exit than i was (and no blink scrolls available). i really don't see why they *should* generate.

maybe they spend the first 2* reading the book and memorising it

i usually determine monster ac by hitting them a few times. then i classify them as "dead" or "not dead". repeat.

i also die a lot.

if i remember it correctly beogh was 100% ok with you killing orcs but got mad if you used an orc killing weapon for it right?

It'll be hard for unspoiled players to actually notice that the difference between the two. In my view, being unable to notice the difference is a good argument for not having the difference in the first place. i read that as: some players are not very observant of damage so might as well go ahead ...

some vaults have corpses in it you can butcher, also i think disintegration/IOOD still make chunks? or was that changed?

so it is not -completely- useless

they say as an option it is optional, but you know it for an option to be optimal, so you opt for it on at all times?

in that each size is twice as powerful than the previous one, sure, but if you think about the individual components they actually scale as 2^(slimes-1).

autoexplore puts player into dangerous position: more at 11

you simply aren't the target demographic of the change then, it is intended to discourage swapping it as a resistance stick when you're not busy swinging better stuff which you clearly aren't bothering with in the first place. but yeah i guess my "nobody would use protection as their main weapo...

or as rF in a pinch if somehow you find yourself not having enough from your equipment.

i don't really know what to add here but this reminds me of people advocating for silly levels of political correctness. there is a level of tedium that is fine, i'd rather see protection removed than stay in the game but useless. who is going to use as their main, unswappable weapon a PROTECTION we...

i think protection is a perfectly fine brand for casters? you can always swap to your poison/drain/elec dagger when you're going to actually go melee but i'm always happy to find an early protection dagger/mace on a book start. i mean is something wrong with swapping weapons actually? almost every b...

clearly gozag would know the benefit of e-commerce give it an ability "enter shop" that lets you visit one randomly generated shop as many times as you want from wherever you want then change the current "create shop" ability into "reshuffle shop" which would change the...

but will the expansion have 40man content?

you mean introducing them to beogh...

leaves them smitten?

gozag paid to be in the game

when it realised the dungeon wasn't source of as much business as expected he closed off the branch and fired all the related eployee

mangroves cannot root you while above deep water (actually making fly a pretty decent buff when fighting those if you can get to deep water and use range)

the problem with "spell refreshes and randomises all the time whitout enemy interaction" would be that a certain subset of players are inevitably going to tell us how optimal play invovles being a vampire/mummy/whatever whitout a food clock and continously reset-scum until you have deflect...

well asking a guy what her girlfriend panties look like is a thing, using binoculars to spy on her while she dresses in the morning is another.

but this is moot since you're still going to try to get into said panties and the boyfriend is gonna get mad.

probably going to need to still rely on int or you'll just be able to build cookie-cutter-meleekilldude with invocations instead of evocations and gain a spell list as powerful as a purebreed caster that raised 6+ schools

how about you simply lose the option to memorise the spell after an arbitrary number of turns passed? say 1000 turns to memorise it or it's gone. number can be tweaked to however length feels fair and if you get more gifts in the meantime they would all be available with their own individual timers....

i can see the situation where you want to kill a rune vault but run out of spells, can't kill anything and need to backtrack to somwhere else in order to try again (as opposed to just resting?) that would be tedious for sure and possibly promote ignoring enemies when you are fully charged to keep fo...

i also really like it so long as you get spells back fast enough, i'd hate to have plenty of mana and no spells to cast. you did not add any piety-sink (or other tradeoffs like ru), it could maybe use 1-2 useful skills to offer a choiche (for example -> expend piety to immediately receive a new spel...

i think telling players the vaults present on a floor would break crawl's keyfabe and that would make for a much less entertaining show for everyone.

well if the random "bad effect" is haste that generally makes retreating to stairs a much riskier proposition.

look, maybe the orc mines are simply meant to be set in scotland and orcs play bagpipes in their spare time

now i don't know by memory every single runed vault in the game but i'm pretty sure just having translucent doors won't allow you to see the entire vault on many of them so what do we do, should we make walls translucent too? or maybe put in the "manual" the layout of all runed door vaults...

yeah but they don't wear the leg part, that's why we have naga barding instead. they don't walk OR slither in plate. nagas only wear half of plate armor so if anything it would make sense for them to be *less* encumbered (which is somewhat true because of their decent STR stat). why is it so hard to...

i'm sure penetration would be in no short supply if that happened ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

*(assuming you actually meant javelins of penetration, i've never dropped a javelin of petrification)

except in the case of nagas it literally means they get to wear it only from torso up effectively only wearing half of it. i'm pretty sure the upper part is supposed to be 99% humanlike, well, except the spitting poison part. it makes sense for them to get less AC but i really can't see how would th...

well, digging helps in labirinths?* either way it's ok for escaping when you got in a bad spot too, faster than teleporting and less random but enemies can still follow you so it's distinct enough to be worth of being there probably. *there's probably supposed to be an "y" somewhere there ...

we could argue all day about chei being good or bad but it's really really hard to deny centaurs are one of the strongest races in the game. who cares if they have bad overall apts? they have good apts in one of the most powerful playstyle (ranged) and an -extremely- powerful quirk that synergises g...

btw PA is a really rare spell.

i think i only found it once before lair and i absolutely murdered everything. actually i murdered everythign so hard (i even had a staff of poison!) i died out of excessive omnipotence delusion from a herd of dire elephants i think.

wouldn't even make sense for nagas, they can't wear as much armor as other species how would that make them *more* encumbered than average?

does it ask when you equip it too?

what, no permanent corrosion back?

you need something with cooking chunks in here, or is the chef god really let you go around eating raw meat?

you mean the difference in how the spell works...

is confusing?

i don't know, i mean, on one hand sure it could help clarity, on the other hand it doesn't make a lot of sense for high elves and deep elves to mingle in the dungeon like that. i mean ok we could help new players not mistake the enemy power level like that (if they really follow your line of thought...

yeah but being sent to the abyss was supposed to be a "punishment"? i don't think deep elf demonoligists are like "dude here, let me send you to an -actual- rune branch so maybe you don't need to wreck our vault kthx?"

well if you have claws and beak you can butcher corpses even with a cursed blunt weapon. Lol that hasn't been in the game for a long time if I'm not mistaken. awww man, starving to death because you wielded a glowing mace on d1 was one of the best things, almost as good as getting red sickness beca...

well no, once you've posted duvessa will be alerted of your presence and react accordingly, if you go invisible again you will just get a penalty at snarky comments directed at you.

also trade books for bucklers

i would actually play a magical tutrle with no armor but 10 shields strapped to its back

well maybe mage backgrounds are socially awkward geeks and monsters just don't pay them as much attention?
