I guess I could change the robe, yes. The things are being killed wth holy short blade/dagger of poison

Xom is nice but I kinda do not know what to do with this character Currently I feel like I am lacking the punch. But may be it is ok? and i should be instead increasing my defences more? I have book of power in some shop, but that is a lot of investment without immediate gain, which normally is not ...

just my 2 cents.
Searing ray too powerful for L2 spell.
Conjure flame is too weak for L3 spell.

regarding the mindelay - the GSC is already at mindelay with heroism, so I put the priority on training M&F on medium priority(as long as i am not leaving Oka i should have enough piety to support heroism for fights i care). Regarding spells - the meph cloud/conjure flames are pretty much castab...

I guess the boredom of such a play would be too much for me.
Nice game still

Hi. This guy so far was quite successful in escaping the death despite the fact that i am so bad in this game. The idea behind this character was to somehow get haste and statue form online and make oka give something nice. I think my defenses are somehow bad - no dragon armor so far, i cannot use s...

Just died to the mummy floor in zig. I wonder what is the right strategy for me in such a scenario: 1. I got my str go to 0 while being in lich form. Therefore, since I was wearing ice dragon armor, all my spells went red. 2. As a solution to this problem I decided to go back to life. that was my bi...

and - hurray! I have got book of annihilation in slime 6. Therefore I forgot shatter and dispel undead. lcs is there so I am raising fire for now to get RoF and Firestorm I am not sure if shadow creatures would do me anything good with orbs of fire. A small offtopic - is there any way to know the to...

Please propose a better spell list...

I guess, it is really scary to do so in Depth. But may be I am wrong

Sphara wrote:Using this spellset, Bolt of Draining is definitely the best way to go.

*edit: oh, and train defenses! Your Fighting is pretty low and you haven't trained Dodging at all. That's no good for a naga with a robe.

well, I have 35 AC... and a shield... But I like the idea with bolt of draining.

Hi. It seems that with the new version I lost the hold of the game. How would you deal with caustic schrikes now? I killed one with fireballs - but that was pretty unreliable since the second one nearly killed me (had to use 2 cblinks to survive). I guess this could end much worse if there were 2 of...

Just had a very funny game with Gr. Zin is so safe and easy - no hassle with mutation control, no hassle with necromutation, all the mana you can potentially use with CBoE. The only downside is that you need to get that firestorm somehow - and then survive vehumets wrath somehow. Tbh It is so annoin...

TrCk is quite easy. you generally tab through the whole game. only think about hydras)

I've played a few chei nagas, and yeah, they're powerful as hell. But of course, all it takes is absentmindedly wandering toward a monster pack to put yourself into a really bad situation, where a normal speed character would have no trouble. I'm starting to think a chei naga is best played by maki...

was really an easy walk. I think CK should be preferred background for trolls. two scary moments were with enchantress with her -Tele and in Z5 when xom turned me into the ice beast in front of orb of fire. THis is why reasonable evo and ring of tele is almost mandatory for XOM Other then that, the ...

I never managed to understand why some people dont like nagas so badly. They are ridiculously op
congrats on the win though

One day you deicde that all that planning and calculations are for pussies and this day is when you start to play Xom I am stil not manly enough to take mummy so Troll it is So far so good, I managed to clean lair and orc, which is for me an indication that this combo is viable enough to talk about....

I think A4 and A5 is for speedrunners

and i died again. god damit, I hate this game. such a nice start - and then i missed all my iron shots and tp put me into the same place i started from. but i could , of course, use blinking scroll to break LOS. I really forgot that I dont have the rf+ when I am in statue form does levitate reduces ...

Spwz is my goto char for easy 15 rune wins. I win one basically every tourney i play. Best advice is to get like 12 or so in every skill and dont try for crystal spear or anything silly like that. Just grab every decent mid range spell regardless of school and wear wizardry. Finally use protection ...

no deflect missilies/. but I had repel missiles in starting book. I did not train staves (I prefer to TP rather then fight in close combat) but learned haste. Training earth for shatter - although the hunger costs might get prohibitive to use it often. no necronomicon/staff of energy as of now. and ...

very lucky run. Veh gave all earth spells + ring of the wizard. What would be you recommendations? I think I need to raise fighting and dodging - but what should be the target? Did not find necronomicon yet - thus I am not training necromancy. should I try statue form + haste? what would be your ski...

i am too lazy to throw.

wow. DeWz. That must be a big pain...

ok, A new one) same idea - going to get shuffle this guy at 18th Extreme luck with weapon - great mace of speed - what else do you need on ogre. anyway no so many enchant scrolls to work with - and no whip worth thinking of. no haste in books as of now. My defences are extremely low as of now - but ...

Portal has the possibility of being an immediate blink, which would've saved you (but only a possibility of it, not a certainty) I'm not sure even with swiftness you'd be moving faster than a berserked snorg though. but I was hasted AND had swiftness... The most stupid thing was that before that i ...

swap would give nothing...

you think I should have picked portal?

got a nice eveningstar drop and looking for general advice The plan for this is guy as of now to be shuffled Also wondering if I can ever effectively use this crossbow - i heard that crossbows use a lot of str, but not sure how much skill with them I need to use effectively THIS ONE DECEASED PLEASE ...

If i am bored with crawl i am playing LOL. The opposite is valid also.

I love ogres i really do - they are my second most loved race after nagas - but I always feel that they are made of paper.
on the other hand, having a shield helps in this case

I am professional programmer myself, but I really do not like this idea. Crawl is for fun, not for work. But if there is no other way, may be I should learn how to compile it...

my problem is that i am spoiled by nagas of vehumet. At this point of game I normally have firestorm/glaciate and do not really care about all this intricasies - several firestorms in the face resolves everything. unfortunately, -3 in conj and sif worshipping does not really help with getting glacia...

try vampires - VpIE is one of the easiest staff. They have the same stile of permachannneling and effectively trading regeneration rate for nice aptitudes.

elves are fine - I never had issues with hitting them with bolt spells. But this spriggan was really invincible for me((((

unbelievable... I just had the most frustrating death ever... died to the spriggan defender - i simply could not do anything to him.. All my cold bolts missed, i could not even escape him in bat form... This was extremely promising run with only one exception - i never get OOD.... I am little bit lo...

i was always thinking that fire is better for mummies since it helps to affset theyr -rF intristic. I mean, you will take staff of fire and then ring of fire and then ring of flames - this will all make the -rF unrelevant.

did you consider necromutation + sif channeling? do you ahve necromutation in some of the sifs books I would still first train fighting first since 143 hp is little bit dangerous from my perspective also i would forget bolt of draining and poison arrow and get OOD.

After finishing the spider/shoals and Vaults 1-4 decided to start depth. I feel myself really underpowered now - I think i diversified my skills little bit too much...

haunt + dismissal seems to be op now. But haunt cost HP now - what a disappointment for my vampire(((
edit - actually it does not cost hp

Hi guys.
Can someone, who can dive the code, tell about this spell? http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Forceful_Dismissal
The wiki description is... short.

my little vampire started the spider. what a stupid place for a vampire - no blood at all. on the side note - it is really impressive how far can the IE starting book took you. All of the dungeon, lair and first layers of spider are completely doable. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.14.0 (tiles) ...

None the less, it is bad design to allow players to gain tiny benefits with a lot of effort. You shouldn't have to compromise between having fun and playing the game as effectively as possible. this! this is so much true!!! i wish so many game designers would understand this... I sometimes play dom...
