Hey, guys. Just wanted to say that I'm taking a break from Crawl and the Tavern for at least a few months so I can focus on writing my book. I'm afraid you guys simply made the game too much fun-- I can't focus on actually doing what I need to do, which is probably not beating Executioners to death....

Sometimes I really wonder who twelwe is in real life

Wow. Red Draconian Ice Elementalist? Hardcore.

Azrael is still Azrael

Regeneration can stack infinitely, I suppose. There are only so many sources in the game. A Demonspawn wearing a troll leather armor and two rings of regeneration who has the Powered by Death 3 mutation and is surrounded by corpses after caster the Regeneration spell or using Trog's Hand gets, what,...

No, it's most likely a vapour. If it was Nikola, you'd already be dead; Chain Lightning is not the kind of thing you shrug off. Vapours are annoying, but not really that dangerous. It's permanently confused, so it won't follow you. It'll just kind of throw out lightning bolts in random directions on...

"Azrael is Azrael" -Azrael

Why would anyone ever take this god

It's really not challenging, it's just tedious as hell. I just tabbed back with a Gargoyle Monk, and it took me almost a half hour. That's not a sprint; that's a 10k.

You're not going to get the regen effect of the artifact anyway, since you're already a troll. I would use the PDA, if you can get some more enchant armor scrolls.

Does wild magic suck? Yes. But I'm fairly certain it was intended to be this way. Permanently altering or boosting your character should not be without risk, and this is a similar kind of effect to "You grow horns!" and the like-- there's a benefit, yes, but it comes with a significant dra...

Transmuter is getting me in trouble with DS when I get great DS mutations. Which is better: Claws 3 or Blade Hands? Vine Stalker Monk is an excellent unarmed combatant, but I think Vine Stalker is a bit broken - seems too powerful compared to things like Trolls. Maybe I'm just not casting spells, I...

Code:: Infinitevox miscasts Character Dump. Sparks fly from your hands...

I usually beat him to death with a loaf of bread. This isn't a joke. If you have melee character, wield a banana (scroll, potion) and wait until he replicates you. Now your illusion is harmless. Then feel free to use all of the previous advice. It was a joke :? Don't actually do this. Kill him as f...

Go get 'em, man! Best of luck. I plan to do the same when I get a chance.

Teleport traps have saved my life more times than they've taken it.

To GDD it goes, then

Probably wouldn't have happened if it was a Mountain Dwarf

Should I just move this to GDD
or is it too wacky

An idea for nerving the piety gain rate: after say **** only give piety for killing things of fire or that use fire(i.e. the things that he currently appreciates killing). there are so many of those in late game you're never going to run low on piety anyway (aside perhaps Cocytus and Tartarus and t...

The macabre finger necklace is a fixedart that lets you wear three rings instead of just two.

Undead players can sacrifice all of the food items they find, which give you decks of wonder, which have cards of experience, which are really good.
(plus what dck said)

Wow. This thread is more vitriolic than a spiny worm.

...ogres are speed 10?
They sometimes have randomized speed fluctuations, but they shouldn't be able to catch up to you if you have more than a square between you and them.

Since everyone seems to be proposing new gods: I'm here to propose a new god, Euclidiel, who presides over mathematics. Euclidiel lives in self-imposed exile from the pantheon after being bullied by the other gods, especially Trog, and has a distinct hatred for them. Euclidiel appreciates it when yo...

1) I don't believe being flayed interacts with rNeg.

2) "You Evolve" gives you a 50% chance of a good mutation and a 50% of a random mutation. As far as I know, it doesn't actively remove them. It was most likely canceled out by a positive mutation.

Welcome to the Tavern.

I think the main problem with this is that it gives one class a unique start/advantage/boost. If you start as a Conjurer or a Gladiator, you can essentially turn that character into something totally different depending on what you find in the dungeon. Background's are just starting packages; they'r...

Is it possible? Yes.
Doesn't mean you should do it, though. Your best defense in Crawl is a ridiculous offense, and two-handed weapons give enough of a damage boost to make one-handed weapons largely noncompetitive.

Code:: Try this.

Projectiles are actually really good with Dithmengos thanks to shadow mimic.

I don't know if anyone here other than minvessa has played TOME 4, but the shielding mechanic there is essentially what BBQ is suggesting. I've posted similar spell ideas here before, but the community doesn't seem to be particularly supportive of them. Even a boost to Shroud would be great--frankly...

Keep the troll leather armor for now, but only if you can't find leather with a good resistance (like magic resistance). You can use Ozocubu's Armor with it, since it has an encumbrance of less that 6. The buckler will reduce your attack speed a bit, and it'll eliminate your offhand attacks, but it ...

Forget the numbers. Just use Iron Shot.

This is my favorite rune. Way better than Serpentine or something.

OK, so flight is something you want to take with you into the Labyrinth. That's news to me. Now I wonder how that bonus loot gets placed in the Lab. Is there a bigger chance to find such bonus loot the longer you wander in the Lab? It's just a vault like any other. The Labyrinth is finite and its l...

I'm fairly sure he doesn't mind Dragon Form either.

Mutation-wise, I'm not sure how easy it would be to code a flag for the fire-breathing ability so that Dithmengos would hate it...

Use the slaying ring.

Distortion is my favorite brand. It deals comparable damage to electricity, is irresistible, can blink or banish dangerous enemies away from you, and is cool as hell (cool as Abyss?). It also does better on weapons with low delay, so it's perfect for Short Blades. Basically, if you don't want to mai...

A lot of people worry about keeping all their stuff in the same place, but frankly it's not much of a concern. I've been playing for years and never had a problem with putting my stash in Lair, though they're usually a bit better protected than most because I make it a point to fill the level with a...

I can tell you haven't cast IOOD before.

Try it. Really.

Code:: Bryanpeddy casts Animate Dead. You see 1 thread zombie. You sell the zombie to the shop!

I really thought that said gonorrhea vids
This is better

damiac wrote:Isn't dazzling spray already this spell?

No. Dazzling Spray only fires at a target once; it can just lock onto more than one targets. The OP's proposal is for spells that fire more than one projectile at the same target or targets beyond/behind the first.

Nope, stick with Unarmed Combat. Later on it'll hit just as fast and have a much higher base damage. Good sword, though.

Also, you're overtraining Fighting. That exp would be much better used pumped into UC.

Is that some kind of record? How many levels did you go up from killing him?

Apparently getting put to sleep by Aizul means that a single attack from a spiny frog on your 20-25 AC djinn fighter can do 53 (!!!) damage and kill you.

Seriously, what the !@#$? 53 damage? I'd just enchanted my ice dragon armor!

Time for a break from Crawl.
