Ah, ok.
Thanks!

Where is that, though?
I cannot find it in any file in the settings tab, the only "language" I find in any file in the settings file is in init.txt, and there only in comments.

Hi guys, I just downloaded the new build because I wanted to come back to DCSS after a break of a few months, and now there are some German descriptions in the game for me. Although it is no problem for me to understand the text, I would really rather play in the original English setting. Where can ...

Switch Vehumet and Sif.
Vehumet enhances your spells and basically grants you upgrades to what you do, i.e. higher level destructive spells.
Sif Muna gives you spells that may go into much other directions and helps you channel mana.
I'd say Chei and Lugonu change the gameplay, too.

Yeah, I know, I just wanted to pack as many wands as possible and had only heard about harpies a day or two before, so I went "They can destroy food? That isn't good for my Spriggans" and thought I would be playing it safe by taking none in there.
I know, pretty ironic.

Keep in mind that you may experience some deaths that make you scream "BULLSHIT!". My last one was me, as an SpEn of Nem (obviously), going into the shoals. Because I got a Feast card (Full satiation) from a depleted deck, I stashed my food incase of harpies. Then I run into a group of ene...

Didn't Nemelex dislike wasting decks with nothing around (Of course, only offensive decks, i.e. Destruction and Summoning, and maybe Defense, too, for buffs and stuff)?

First enemy?
Hobgoblin with Dagger (I believe) of distortion.
Fun, but very short, times.

To the one above me: You forgot SpEn*Nemelex. As a general strategy, I would refer you to this: http://crawl.develz.org/info/inline.php?q=hyperbolic If you play Trunk (or Stable Webtiles beta, i.e., .13), Start with Stealth to 10 and Short blades to 6, this is what I am doing atm and it works quite ...

Ok, thanks for the tips!
I think I will train spellcasting and fighting with focused fighting, and then switch fighting to armour for a while.
To and into:
Annihilations was found on D:6, so I pumped Conjurations up to get them castable fast.
But I will go for more survivability at first, now

So, after a few close calls (Getting surrounded by stuff, mostly ugly things), I thought I should ask you for advice before I splat this fella. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.13-a0-2961-g081699f (tiles) character file. Sif the Destroyer (Deep Elf Conjurer) Turns: 23989, Time: 01:28:59 HP 64/75 A...

Hmm, maybe the most mixed artifact...

Code:: "The -8 Chainmail of Springtime {+fly rPois rC+ MR++ Str+2 Acc+5}"

Wait, Fe of Ash?
Are you fully bound with just 2 rings and an amulet?
Although it still doesn't seem to compensate for playing a Felid

Hmm, thinking about it, I never passed out because of raging when following Trog.
And I played a fair share of Berserkers.

I would take a High Elf (great magical apts, and +-0 Staves, which seems to still be one of the best ;), also +1 Inv), Gargoyle, which has acceptable apts and can make much use out of that healing because you usually take less damage, but also have a small HP pool, or, if it does not have to be a st...

The -3,+1 great mace of Perversion {elec, rF++} (God Gift)
Didn't know Trog was so kinky....

I always thought that BS lets through everything magical (Magic Darts, OODs, IMBs), but blocks everything physical (Darts, Arrows, Javelins etc), regardless of who fired it.

Ah, because you mention leather armour, I have a question: Leather armour itself does not lower your spell success rate, right? (Given a really low amount of Str, of course). Does it with when combined with a buckler? Because I think I remember having no problem with robes and a buckler, but when sw...

I think one-way hatches are already fixed.
At least it seemed that way when I used fast travel to get to my stash.

I do not know much about what you should do, but one thing:
Scrolls are never cursed, neither are potions, and there is no blessing in Crawl.

Well, if he doesn't care about the monsters killing each other yet, I think he should be at least slightly amused.
I think being amused by the spell itself would be a little too "strong".
Also, maybe he could be greatly amused by one of the monsters coming after you?

Not sure if this is the right spot to ask, but has anyone used Discord in .13? Is it any good? I'm playing a DjCj that ended up with a fair amount of Hexes for Fulminant Prism, and since Vehumet decided that I didn't deserve Fire Storm, I need a high-level spell to wreck havoc with. Well, it define...

Yeah, I meant that he should have just jumped up the stairs, go to another one, and then do the level from another stairs out.

Crawl, for dropping the Lear's Hauberk (+27 full body armour, for those who don't know), on D:5, ON MY FUCKING CEHU GAME.
AAARRGGHHHH!

Hmm, aren't Zombies unable to follow you up or down stairs?
Or was that only the ones you summon yourself?

I think he means Gr (Gargoyle).

Wow, nice luck for my MiBe:

Code:: C - the +1 scale mail "Etubb" (worn) {-Cast rPois rC+ MR++ Dam+3} (You found it on level 4 of the Dungeon)

All enemies are secretly mages.
They have this cool trick that when they grip an object with both hands, and then pull in opposite directions, each hand will hold a copy of the original object.
That is all there is to it, though.

Blinking was hard because, iirc, I was confused by being overwhelmed with the Wrath. I did not know pain was so strong (Did not play a really long time, made a long pause since I last did :)), and thought I should use speed for more chance of invis-stabs. Although, now that you mention it, with most...

Yeah, it was likely Wrath.
Did not wear the buckler because I forgot to put it back on after wear-ID'ing the longsword

Fixing the dump now.

Hi guys. Just asking if I made any obvious mistakes in this game except going back into Elf:3 again and again and dealing 4 of a plain deck of summoning. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.13-a0-2961-g081699f (tiles) character file. 181981 Claw the Unseen (level 17, 0/83 HPs) Began as a Spriggan Enc...

I have a related problem. I dropped a "highlevel book" on a tile with some junk, like a whip or something. Later, I returned to the place by searching for it, and it was not there, but the junk still was. What could happen? Can monsters pick up books? Could a jelly eat it and spare other ...

*sigh* Confused Stone Giant zombies *can* hit for 40 points of damage through 18 AC, 30 EV, and 20 Sh. "Not likely" != "Can't happen" Confusion does not decrease to-hit chance as far as I know. That's why it is still very dangerous to stay adjacent to a confused melee monster in...

Not bad for around 200g:

Code:: the +6,+6 whip of Kymuakhucay (weapon) {holy, rElec rN+ Dex+3} (You bought it in a shop on level 4 of the Dungeon)

Skeletal warriors on D:11? Ouch. So one trick is to wait until you get one or two large stacks of scrolls, and at least one unidentified potion. Then read one of the big stacks and if it prompts you for a target, use it on the potion. Scrolls were 'nothing happens' could be amnesia (if you dont hav...

Just throwing out a suggestion: Create Swamp: Takes an area (let's say 5x5), turns the ground into poisonous swamp, slowing and making everyone stumble (somewhat worse than shallow water effects, I'd say). Poisons every round, and the ground itself is poisonous, too. Furthermore, another idea for a ...

I never needed to in .13X

Cheaper than curare.

Also, more fun to watch if some dumb adventurer quaff-IDs, in order, a potion of confusion, a potion of (strong) poison and a potion of mutation.

AHAHAHAHAHA! DECj of Sif Muna, ** or *** Piety, and I start to quaff-ID potions. What is the third I get? Experience!

well if you plan to do extended the fact that orbs of fire mutate you is one reason you should not do zot:5 before extended. Yes, I didn't do ZoT5. Oka is stronger than TSO in ZoT so I did ZoT1-4 with Oka. Actually I got this situation in ZoT3. ...How is Oka stronger than TSO in Zot? Genuinly curio...

You cast Malign Fiesta.
The Cacodemon sits down and sleeps.
The The Sun Demon sits down and sleeps.
Cerebov sits down and sleeps.
The red imp resists.

NOOO, YOU CAN ONLY EMBED 3 QUOTES WITHIN EACH OTHER!
CURSE YOU, VILE FORUM REGULATIONS! CURSE YOUUUUUUU!

Now we only have to grant this nonexistant thread sentience.
Then it thinks, and therefore it will be.

Mankeli, that is just... evil is not the right word for it.
Wretched.
Hellish.
Something along the lines of that.

That is what dawned on me too after I died

Hi everyone, I just want to post my Spriggan here so you can tell me if I made some grievous mistakes or something. Died by not blinking away from Azrael AND not using my cloak of fog even though I had 3 rounds time. >.< Well, here is the character: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.13-a0-434-g848c...

I hope they are temporary, because they are already very severe.

The cursed -8 Scale Mail "Ghawomep" (Str +3 Dam +6 Curse)
Luckily I am firstly a Spriggan and secondly with Ashenzari.
