Reading it again, I still really like the concept! tazoz, the flavour is so good that something could come out of this :) Now it "just" needs enough thought during design and then "only" an implementation, and you're there. Some more useful comments: 1. While being a lich, the c...

I think this can be a good idea, I like it as it is even though normally permanmut suggestions tend to be awful, there are however a number of things I would change: -I think it should be made a qs base item since quarterstaves are miles better than rods as weapons and you're paying a very very big...

Also "Undead player characters gain... a draining unarmed attack" seems sort of silly if you only get it while wielding the scepter, and is pretty un-needed as well. I do like that it's sort of a rod of absorbing stuff (Sorta like a vampiric stick) Seems like it would be pretty powerful a...

I don't like "passive damage to things in LOS while moving" (I mean, anything that's not faster than you, you can kill by simply walking away) *****: Passive: Each turn that the player does anything but moving, all creatures in sight suffer 1-8 unresistible dmg. well, you walk away and pr...

There are some interesting suggestions here and I will try to find some time to write a reply that gives a comprehensive analysis of the feedback and make some minor changes to the original proposal. Most of the criticism does ignore large parts of the proposal, I did consider many of the problems t...

Scepter of the Lich king, A scepter that belonged to a great and powerful Lich that became so powerful he became like a god. The gods fearing his rise to power, destroyed him, but on his last breath he transferred his essence to his magical scepter. Once the scepter is equipped by a player that play...

I just have to point out that a. having a potion of might and speed by spider 5 happens around 9 in ten games or more frequently, there is also bersek rage that combines the two. There are also cure wounds potions and other potions that can improve the odds in your favour b. mana leach doesn't stop ...

Well I think the branch got nastier with the introduction of new forest-themed monsters. Elemental wellspring, thorn lotus, ancient bear and water nymph were at best really annoying and at worst truly terrifying. Was kinda funny how my minotaur warrior jumped all over the place when a satyr kept sh...

I feel that there is missed potential because of the alternative branches concept. There is no real reason not to include all the new branches in every game, the solution is simple, reduce all the branches to 3 levels and lair to 6, the amount of levels would remain the same but the mid game would b...

How about adding ignore target's armor to Knife of accuracy, it's a unique ability for a weapon, already coded in and would make knife extremely useful with enough slaying or as a stabbing weapon. Some suggestions: Ring of shadows: reduce sight by 1 (The change to Robe of Night was great) Brooch of ...

How about giving a chance for player ghosts of all levels to spawn in the crypt with a higher chance for ghosts to spawn or just create ghost based monsters with random skills.

There is a problem with the new beam mechanics in tiles when using Fireball, the explosion radius is a darker color than the beam which makes the beam invisible, it makes the skill much more annoying to use compared to 1.10.

Why not make poison a more hybrid friendly spell school, we have enough high powered conjuration spells. Some suggestions: Level 4 Posion/charm spell Pestilence Leave clouds of poison where you stand, spell power increases the duration of the clouds and of the enchantment. (Similar to efreeti power....

Edit: I agree, it was a bad idea. That's what happens when I have one idea and try to patch together a god out of it, I need to stop posting game design ideas. :roll:

Hemiphel relentlessly demands blood be it from dead enemies or from his worshippers, their main objective is to feed the god and in return the god rewards the followers with certain gifts relating to the use of blood. His powers: 0: Pray over a fresh corpse to drain blood, heal wounds and gain apple...

Cerebov - Yes, for all allies, the Orcish was just thematic so it's not really important.

Two ideas: Axe of the Warlord: Orcish Handaxe +2 +2 All allies get +2 in chance to hit, to damage, a minor boost to attack speed, +2 to AC, +2 to EV A change to the Leech Demon blade +10 +4 negative life leech, (minor drain in life when attacking) Positive Mana leech (minor mana drain when attacking

Thanks druid, Mara creates a ghost of the player character, I'm suggesting to create a simple vanilla monster that can copy some attributes that the player has. Mara's ghost gets all the characters spells and is even more powerful than the player character. A doppleganger can copy spells that it see...

Doppelganger's have the stats of a human but take on the shape of the player character, it gains all body features that the player has and copies the players armour and weapon and shield. Doppelgangers have the ability to cast any spell a player casts in its presence, so if a player casts firestorm,...

How about adding confusing touch to the transmuters starting spellbook (to replace evaporate) and make it a level 2 transmutation/hex spell. Logically confusing touch is as much a transmutation spell as a Hex as you are transforming your hands to ones who cause confusion on touch. The change to leve...

New Mountain dwarf suggestion: axe:+3 rest of weapons +0 Other skills as they are now except higher shields by 1. Small size means no large shields and higher normal and buckler shield requirements and effect. High shield skill to compensate. Gets a higher bonus than usual to hps by training fightin...

I'm not crazy about the proposal mainly because it removes tactical use of traps. Here's a proposal to make traps much more interesting: Traps generate quite rarely, when you step on a trap it doesn't activate immediatly, instead you have a message that you step on a certain type of trap, you can di...

I've always seen rods as the tools of the trade of artificers, the problem is that the spells that rely least on spell power are also the rods most powerful abilities, making evocation nothing but a nice bonus. You can still cast deflect missiles, abjuration (if it remains as it was) and freezing cl...

I revised the original post adding in totem immunities, ammo limitations and spells cast.

I guess limited ammo could work. :) Personally I saw the spell more as a supplement to summons than as a sort of trap, raising corpses as your sumons tank for them, on the other hand this shows how verstile the spell is as it fits multiple styles of play. Some sort of missile using summons is sorely...

Edit: On second thought this post isn't really a good idea.

I created an excel document with the totem spells each corpse generates but I can't attach it. (a nice waste of time) Here's the list: Small/Normal plain corpse: Magic dart Large plain corpse: Mystic blast Small/Normal poisonous creature:Sting Large Poisonous creature: Venom bolt Strong poison user:...

Necromancy/summoning level 3 Create a totem on a corpse of a creature and imbune the totem with the creatures essence. You choose a corpse and cast the spell on it, an immovable totem pole appears and the corpse disappears: The totem pole has 1 hp 0ac 0ev and if the player tries to move into it the ...

One idea could be to remove the notification of hungry, very hungry etc. instead use a counter which is reduced by x every step depending on class, you can remove the autoexplore interruption as the players will see the clock winding down and will know when to stop and eat. (you could stop every 1/4...

Another idea for a thematic earth spell: Transmute Stones to rock: Level 2 transmutation/earth: Costs 5 wielded stones. Throw a large rock that pierces target and leaves a large rock where it lands. I've always thought that using up stones to cast spells is an interesting feature, this idea further ...

Bobross: As you are talking about elf, abjuration or teleport can do the trick, until the teleport works, blink about to minimize the damage. (Teleport is risky but nothing in elf is as dangerous as 1s.) The third option is to blink to the other side of one of the weaker elves or a skeleton and wait...

Here's a suggestion for a stealth gold: (moved from the other thread) Urias god of thieves Abilities: *: Steal item: active ability: 1 mp - can only be used if monster is asleep, stealth check to succeed, steal a random item from target, can be used from a distance, if you fail the monster wakes up....

Xom: An animated teddybear (just a normal bear called xom's teddybear) with chaos claws, He has the additional ability to animate your weapon against you as the xom effect. His dialogue: "Please save me" "I was once a man"

The way to kill the unique pan lords is to teleport away once you are out of mana, recharge your mana with a staff of channeling, use a ring of regeneration or two to heal yourself quickly and go back and attack him again, they won't have time to regenerate completely, after the third time they shou...

Nice suggestions Minmay, I never thought of invisibility vs ghost moths. Baldurino, silent specters are really weak, all you really need is a wand of lightning and two or three bolts will take one out, another solution is to blanket t he area at the edge of your screen with firestorms and walking ba...

0.10 YAVP MuFe 15 runes and 3 Zigs 0.9 and 0.10 have brought quite a few changes to the game, the original build I used is not really effective anymore as makhleb, poisonous cloud and Tornado have been nerfed, but Mummies are still amazing and I created a new build, the Mummy - fire and ice build. C...

Dpeg, good point, they would work better as random encounters during exploration.

Both of my suggestions (waypoints and this one) were mainly to get rid of the tedium of being interrupted by non challenging creatures while on the way to the stash.

One idea is to create a number of set dangerous encounters composed of a selection of creatures that would be challenging for most characters, for example a combination of hydras and you give the player a bunch of allied humanoids with weak bladed weapons or maybe a 15 headed hydra and a bunch of de...

Yes, It was a bad idea...

It can add an interesting challenge for players trying to get to their stash safely, suddenly the autotravel would be disrupted by Titans and dragons instead of rats and sheep. Could add an element of risk in going to pick up scrolls you left on dungeon 3. The logic is that the orb of Zot generates ...

I was thinking about the problem of stashing and backtracking for items dropped, as it stands now, you make your stash on lair/temple/hive and go back to it when needed, the problem lies in the fact that some areas are really far from the main stash areas, having to backtrack 16 floors to get to the...

I tested out the spell in trunk and what the spell is, is a spell that is only useful in open areas, that takes 4 turns to kill a stone giant and that wakes up the whole level meaning you will be pelted with arrows and stones while waiting for the spell to kill the original stone giant who is being ...

I've never really considered playing online mainly because I like playing with tiles, anyway, I didn't even know a tourney was taking place, I thought 0.9 was still in trunk mode. It's good to know that 0.9 is live and that webtiles actually exists in this day and age, maybe next tourney. :) Your po...

The two games: Ogre- 8671249 Morris the Ogre Mage (level 27, 313/313 (318) HPs) Began as an Ogre Wizard on Aug 24, 2011. Was the Champion of Vehumet. Escaped with the Orb ... and 15 runes on Aug 27, 2011! The game lasted 14:48:23 (200862 turns). Morris the Ogre Mage (Ogre Wizard) Turns: 200862, Time...

On a whim after losing a few mummies to boredom and stupidity I decided to move on and start an Ogre wizard, this game was hard, seriously hard and long and aggravating, but I won so that's all that matters None of the late game went smoothly, every encounter that should have been easy was hard, it ...

Dpeg, I'm just pointing out a few things, do with it what you like. Thanks for all the hard work you and the other developers have been doing, the game is great and I've had loads of fun playing it over the years.

Dpeg, you are right loot has been increased everywhere except where it's important for there to be loot, take troves for example, is there any challenge getting the loot contained within one? It's mostly a decision, do I roll the dice and sacrifice one object for another and sometimes it pays off an...

There is a certain missconception that giving out large amounts of loot is bad, there has been a gradual reduction of loot over time in the branch ends and even in Pan one of the pan lord vaults has been stripped of loot. Why is this bad? giving large rewards for defeating a branch gives the player ...

Before taking on crypt get ignite poison if you can and start pumping transmutations (you will need it anyway for necromutation...) most undead are weak versus fire and casting poisonus clouds or mephic cloud and igniting it is a great way to take out multiple undead at once. The combination of igni...

In all the years of playing I've never bought a single item from such a store, there is always a thrill when checking out a new store except the boring food stores that never have anything of interest. This has become more serious of a problem, recently, as stores have replaced loot as the rewards f...
