I faceplanted into a lab minotaur with a great sword of holy wrath. Full HP -> dead in 2 hits.

Bleh. First lethally poisoned by a lone adder, then killed at XL 6 by escaping upstairs into the middle of an orc priest + 2 orc wizards pack that was not there before. How ignoble.

Why would Dg work as a class? What would they start with? Would they just start out like Healers, but without Ely? Good stats are not a starting weapon or book. -1 aptitudes to whatever your species normally has will not help you kill the first enemy you see on D1. If Dg ever became a background* t...

FR: wand of magic dwarves

A spiny frog on Lair:5 caught me while I was trying to escape from another group of monsters and lethally poisoned me in one hit. Having no !curing or really much of anything else at all, I committed seppuku. http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/magicpoints/morgue-magicpoints-20141018-234011.txt 11557 magicp...

I'm in, I'm in. magicpoints is same crawl name as forum name.

What's funny is I didn't even intend to do that. I started that OpAs as a joke character and somehow they were incredibly effective instead.

Monsters can indeed teleport in sprint. It's usually a bad idea to let this happen though, as they'll open doors and wake up other monsters and generally make the whole map go off rails.

b - the +6 triple demon blowgun "Pipes of Pan"

The new Ruthless Efficiency sounds a lot more interesting than the old, and not redundant with Speed Demon.

You awkwardly attack Sigmund and hit yourself instead. Hostile Sandman25 comes into view.

Your hostile clone needs to come confused itself and wielding its own duplicating stick

He can instantly unbanish you if you get banished by something other than Xom himself

That was almost certainly obtained by abusing Experience cards. The character is a Djinni, which were removed before the Nemelex revamp that ruined cardscumming. 1) Sacrifice all of the very valuable junk in the starting room for lots of decks [no more item sacrifices] 2) Get Wonders as your leading...

This is why I very rarely look at unided items after death

I ran a TSOite who blessed a battleaxe because I didn't have an executioner's axe. Naturally, I found one diving through Zot -- after having gotten 15 runes and killing 7/8 demon lords with the battleaxe.

I thought it was a lorem ipsum ironypost at first

I think this idea would work better as a javelin (perhaps even Lehudib's Crystal Javelin). As a javelin any race could use it AFAIK, javelins are not too common outside of Shoals/god gifts, and non-Tr/Og are less likely to have already trained Throwing thus creating an incentive to do so and a trade...

Like say, new halflings?

Unless I am mistaken, hasn't it been only 4 months since 0.14 came out? Does this mean that there's something big waiting to happen that we want 0.16 trunk right away for? >:D

Speedrunning is completely irrelevant to this conversation. Whether or not this change will be made has nothing to do with the impact on speedrunners, and everyone talking about 'breadswinging' is wasting their time and filling the thread with nonsense. Agreed. Split posts about spreedrunning, move...

I had previously tested walking versus walking with slow status versus walking in water. If it's special-cased to be just walking that regens poorly, then that's twice as stupid.

It works by exploiting the difference between turn timing for score and aut timing for actions. More aut per turn means spending less turns on aut-based needs such as resting off statuses or letting summons kill things. The only reason why it doesn't work for regen (which would be the most common us...

I lose a precious turn. Why is this option still available? lol. Wield a bread ration, swing it 50 times and you get the healing equal to 75 turns. And still only those 50 turns are counted towards score. This is not how you lose turn, it's how you save them :D Last time I tried to measure this I f...

I had this idea earlier today, and I would like some feedback. When worn, an amulet of unbreathing would provide rDrown and !silence. I'm thinking of this as a regular amulet type, not an unrandart. There are a few things I'm not sure about: Should the rDrown allow the player to survive in deep wate...

Sticky flame is one of the major reasons why I don't like playing heavy armour characters anymore. That scroll destruction is way, way too much compared to the paltry amount of damage that sticky flame usually deals. I frequently find myself carrying around phials of floods for the specific purpose ...

At present, the spell memorization menu can be cumbersome at times. It always sorts by failure rates, which frequently change as you train your magic schools. This means looking through the whole list every time that you are looking for a specific spell. I would like to be able to resort the list by...

Hey VC. So as I was saying, I still think that just walking away is the better choice when being constricted, but I see where you're coming from. Sometimes when you have an axe and aren't a hiro you should just go for broke Well, if you don't take to take on Lamia, where else are you going to find ...
