If you die with the orb in possession you should leave a neutral ghost that only runs to the stairs up, only to be teleported to a stairs down.

Make wands single use consumables and spawn them in stack, stacks in inventory. Basically have them work like potions and scrolls.

toilet mimic. which is probably just about the worst kind of mimic to be, come to think of it. You get people desperate for a poop, when was the last time you check for mimics while desperate for the toilet. Although toilet mimics eat people full of crap, maybe sink or dyson air blade mimic is bett...

I ask because it the best way to compare speed run routes (for not crawl). It starts to break down if you start entertaining the ideas noone would actually do.

What's the theoretical fastest for this route?

New spell called game of death. Based on Conway's Game of Life . level 9 necro or whatever randomly spawns clouds of death (CoD) in your local vicinity. Anything in a cloud of death for 2 turns dies (or un-dies). Clouds dissipate, remain or spread as per game of life. http://www.ribbonfarm.com/wp-co...

FR: +3 towel

Equip as a :
helmet: Immunity to non-damaging clouds
Cloak: rC+
Weapon: acts as a vorpal whip
You can eat it, -1 to it's rating and it's destroyed at -1
Evoke it: regen and slow

There are so many gods now (well, maybe always was) that putting them all in the same bracket of spawn locations is just so messy and overwhelming. Finding alter to Jivya & Lugonu later in a game is far more interesting and I don't really care that they are inaccessible since it make it more mea...

Spell casting reduces spell failure, spell hunger and gives me more mp and spell levels all in one skill!?!? Sign me up!

It might be an idea to either remove some of these functions or generally simplify the magic skills.

There's only one of each wand. Stacking issues solved.

I'm talking about sagemode sage of the six paths Juubi Jinchuuriki Gedou Rinne Tensei Legendary Super Saiyan 4 Caster Trolls with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Rinnegan, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, and Geass doujutsus, equipped with his Shining Trapezohedron while casting Super Tengen Toppa...

The problem isn't that one cannot detect sarcasm, but valuing advice on the speaker rather than the ideas.

Removal of Mephitic cloud has a huge impact on the Wz background. Without it, the rest of the spells don't quite pull enough weight. Edit: I think it's one of the most fun spells in the Wz spell book. Blink, conjure flame I'd argue are better. Add magic dart and call imp and the book very usable wi...

Wands of invisibility play like stacks of invisibility potions except you can use a scroll of recharge for more potions even if you used them all.

Wands of invisibility does have a notable difference to potions and that's being able to use them on others, but who ever does that?.

I don't like the idea that melee becomes off limits because it would become rather annoying, the game interface doesn't jell well. This is kind of true already for blaster casters but even they eventually get to smack the fodder. A better idea would be to give the player a Regal Sceptre upon joining...

I don't think it's big problem that uncovering 5 new squares is 5 times more likely to spawn a shaft under you, just odd and maybe spoilery. An alarm trap being spawned in place during level creation and setting off for entering your LOS then being shown as a spent trap at it's location is a much be...

If you want to keep traps and get rid of the ke.... This seems like a good idea. And when the trap triggers, the game can place the trap where you're standing so it doesn't look like you fall down a shaft from like 20 yards away. ... This produces the odd effect where steps that uncover the most un...

DCSS I would say is appealing for reasons that most rogue-likes are appealing.

The worst part of it's design is its difficult curve.

I thought this was going to be Knock-out format, A vs B, C vs D then winner vs winner rather than winner stays on. People are going to stop voting Trog because it'll be boring if he keeps winning.

Ogres can wear dragon armour. Hold on to those manuals for when you gets dragon armour.

Species that can wear any robes can wear dragon armour.

Blinkbolt sounds like a level 5 tloc/conj spell that has a chance of blinking opponents

Would it be better to make praying at an alter an 'ability? much like joining Beorgh via priest, maybe reserve p for this. It's seems more intuitive than '>' since an alter isn't something you enter. It's an extra key press but you only join a religion once most games. Edit: In addition pray should ...

I think the Logo should be more representative of the game, which I'd argue is not that smooth.

FR: players know 10 spells max.

BONUS PROPOSAL This can be extended quite easily to the Golden rune, as it is with the Slimy rune. You know the two big treasure rooms on Tomb:3? Well, they can be locked out completely. Let's say the doors have a permanent sealing rune applied to them. After you pick up the rune, the sealing rune ...

These went past shields but not to the head but rather torso for easy reach vial organs.

A 52kg uranium 235 sword is plenty effective.

Since 2012 there has been 4 to 8 months between releases with a mean of ~6 months.
We should expect a new release about 4 to 0 months ago.

Where did you get this idea. Should I return my needles of sleeping?

1) Vehumet should be a magic option for those without spells (Sif doesn't accept the ignorant) so starting at level 1 is good for this point. Those who know magic take V for the later benefits. 2) Your not suppose to learn every spell Vehumet throws at you (same as Oka gifts or Sifs books), although...

Have Oka spawn "uniques" with fairly good equipment.
These uniques are named "<random name>, trail/challenge/gladiator of Okawaru" or something.

I could consume the whole book, but a lot of books only have one good spell or one spell worth binding.

I like:

I once started a Troll with the intention to switch to a weapon later (GSC). I kept putting off M&F training "UC is doing pretty well, no need to switch just yet. I'll put my XP into defensive skills for now".

Really? It should fail just like enslavement did (with a apt message).

Killer butterflies is actually a misnomers.
I can't believe it's not butterflies.

Mimics could exist as chests, which only pounce on you if you open the chest. But that would mean chests existing (probability normally enter a shop like menu) which don't really add to the game at all.

Invisible pink elephant.

A lot (not all) of this discussion is aimed at stabbing but stealth is foremost a defensive skill. It helps control monster movement or just avoid bad situations before they happen.

I actually like the principle of this, just as a tool of convenience. Although I would have the 2nd inventory for multi turn items only, item types that are distinctly for out of battle use (defiantly would keep all scrolls normal inventory, though fruit would probably not). I think it could do with...

if you know someone who lives in an apartment (or dorm or whatever), you can pee into a frisbee and freeze it, then take the frozen pee disc out of the frisbee and slide it under that person's door at night. then when they wake up there will be an unexplained pool of pee next to their door why not ...

It's generally not a good idea to save ?Acquirement since it can make your character stronger now giving you less chance to die. Even if you hold off for an amulet of rMut in case the floor or shops don't generate it, your scroll also won't guarantee it.
Also change your hat, ponderousness is bad.

Picking up the (un-apportatable) orb, walls close around you and a staircase down (or portal) appears nearby which makes a new level mostly linear level which ends in a dungeon exit. What's on the level doesn't matter too much but what people see on an orb run would be easier to tailor and more cons...

Learn invisibility, then win. Edit: just noticed your cloak has invis After lair, I do orc->dungeon->swamp->snake->spider->shoals->depths, Ignoring the ones my game doesn't have. It's also by no means set in stone, If your have trouble with a branch then go elsewhere. Nemlex can be very powerful, be...

I've played with Gozag a couple of time but never really used all abilities, but I don't see why potion petition exist? It seems to have two uses: a random buff for combat but also for some food, presumably because corpses are no longer a source for chunks. The first half doesn't really gel with the...

I like a lot of the double edged mechanics in this such as trading good potions for poison, which in turn buffs you at the cost of being poisoned. Free poison weapons early on is very nice, making others poison vaunrable is good (although part of poison is that not everything is susceptible.) But th...
