One change I've noticed is that snake5 is a BITCH with nagas having constrict. It's really rough on Octpocraps because it goes past evade and shield, and the zero ac makes it deal straight damage. I could take on a dozen nagas at once, and 90% of the damage was coming from one constrict. I had to te...

It's strangely powerful. Either AC is that bad, or evasion is that good. Armorless doesn't feel squishy at all... I makes me rethink melee builds in general.

Woo! I cleared elf to 4 and vaults to 7, finding lots of shops but zero jewelry shops or noteworthy rings. But I got a treasure trove on like elf3 with 8 speed potions as the cost. It was a jewelry vault! Best thing in it was (Hunger- rC+ rN+ MR), which is nice. But no damage :( Mostly it let me ide...

I love mountain dwarves. I love them so much, I decided to learn the bastard species that took their place. And now I love octopuses. They're so awesome it almost makes up for the loss of my beloved Md. Constrict a bat for the first time and you'll feel it too. It's a warm feeling in your pants that...

Troll monk of jiyva, get elyvilon to start then pray a jivya altar is approachable in lair. The only problem you've got to work around are hydras

I came expecting a good mid-game series of unfortunate events, and all I got was a D4 splat that I do several times a day... These forums can be a little insular and snooty, but really this death is kinda odd to post about. Like even if it wasn't a preventable death, it's just a common thing to get ...

I meant not having rElec in your standard suit, but on a weapon to swap to for emergencies. That game I was set for it, but I've lost some high level games due to swaps/potions for rElec.

And yeah I need to go to 2-handers, but reflection is SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD....

WOO! I played nethack casually for years, and switched permanently to DCSS a few years ago because 'o'... AND I FINALLY ESCAPED WITH THE ARBITRARY THINGY! I've lost so many winnable games due to terrible decisions. It was deeply gratifying to see those 3 stupid yellow doors for the right reason. I'm...

Most != all, and I can see a few more exceptions... The throw away argument was that aptitude books have no tactical choice in their use, and that is false.

Anyway, lets turn our collective smugness to coming up with solutions. For example: Make the aptitude bonus temporary. Shazam!

Fine, I'll sink to your pedantic level...

+1 aptitude manuals wouldn't have that problem either, because for the min/max player it wouldn't be optimal to read them immediately.

That would make reading manuals a no-brainer. It's nice and thematic, but all this does is make the game a little easier. There are no strategic or tactical decisions (or even changes in strategy or tactics after using a manual). Might as well just remove manuals instead. Then remove potions of gai...

Idea regarding manuals: Turn them into 1 time use items that increase your aptitude in the skill by 1. Makes sense in-game, in that reading a sword book would allow you to practice with a sword more effectively, not necessarily make you more experienced. And given the rarity of manuals and number of...
