5ving also wastes nutrition, and if the poisoning is strong enough you will have to waste consumables if on low hp.

I'd like to propose letting the player eat poisoned chunks even without a source of rPois. The player should get poisoned for this, which is prevented by wearing rPois as usual. The strength of the poison can be adjusted to introduce a meaningful trade-off between nutrition gain and hp loss. We alre...

I think that if Idnahg is really "the zoologist", then it makes sense if in the whole description you substitute "nondemon nonundead nonhumanoid beast" instead of "monster". Actually a real "Pokemon" god might even appreciate killing all the humanoids to let t...

Wow, that sounds insanely fun. I must've missed the commit. Also even bots don't know about it yet.

To: zugundertherug, MrPlanck The new proposal doesn't remove destruction of consumables, it makes it a direct consequence of player actions. I really like that player has to make risky decisions during certain intense fights, instead of deciding whether he wants to do some tedious things before and ...

Do you mean Disjunction?

I have mixed feelings about your victory... Because I think such mistakes shouldn't be forgiven by RNG, more so - winning after them. It's kinda unfair to players who tried hard not to make them. Just kidding. I hope you remember this victory and hold this memory as dearly as I remember mine. As fo...

Well here's something you didnt mention: What benefits was lichform actually giving you in this situation? It is clear it has drawbacks; you ran into some of those. If the drawbacks of being in lichform outweigh the advantages you clearly don't want to be in lichform in this situation. I believe th...

Awesome! Glad for you. I don't know what any of this is about (im new) but ive been watching this thread with interest to see if you survived. Congrats! Was it your first 15 runer? Whats an OoF? LOF? Thanx. Yeah, first time. My previous high-score was 7-rune with MiFi of TSO, which means I'm quite ...

I would go out on a limb and say that when you're in a situation where you're about to die and you can't use your only source of healing because of a spell you have active, and all the advice on how to survive the situation involves "cancel that spell that you have active so that you can actua...

All hail new evocables I survived! And it was quite something. So it went like this: I use fog and get wimpy one-tile circle of fog around me. The OoFs see me, but don't blast me to bits, one used mut or smth, the other moved closer. I use phial of floods on the closest OoF, get my shallow water and...

Care to expand on this? I'd really appreciate some feedback. I'm guessing my god choice, no heal wand (I was unlucky with this one, didn't find it even in zigs and from acq). No, those are perfectly reasonable. It's mostly item and spell choices. Your weapon and rings are ones that should be not be...

Necromutation may not be entirely worthless all the time, but it's about to contribute to the entirely avoidable death of a 15-runer here. I'm sure he's very glad he has the extra carrying capacity right now and doesn't need to eat :P My imminent death has nothing to do with lichform. Although I wo...

What I really don't understand is why you are wielding a staff of energy. Wucad Mu was draining my Int even through SustAb far too often. Things were dying happily enough even with energy. Its worth mentioning that CBlink does allow you to pick the general direction you want to go on Zot:5 if I'm n...

So for the first time I got an all-rune run, and I suppose all the new sights of pan made me dizzy, since I made some bad decisions when two OoFs showed up to say farewell on my orbrun. Here's the relevant overview: screenshot.png HP 47/186 (197) AC 22 Str 10 XL: 27 MP 2/50 EV 31 Int 41 God:...

Yes, it's worthwhile to spend two acquirement scrolls on a trove. It's not going to be worth it 100% of the time, but the risk can easily be worth it. Well I just got 5th scroll and a useless scale mail randart from it for my DE caster. Come to think of it the trove was totally worth it, at least I...

+1 robe {rPois, Acc+3}. And I already did the Snake and the Swamp.
It's funny how it's always exciting to get an acq scroll, but actual drop is rarely something I put on immediately, except when it covers an empty armour slot.

It's as though the dev team is trying to remove all the annoying things in Crawl ;) Well, some features gone is a great thing. I'm all for the nausea removal, item destruction rehauling etc. It's just the stat death was a sort of a pet feature for me I suppose. It was quirky and scary and rare enou...

Well, by V:5 I found my 4th scroll of acq, so far the most dissappointment-packed game I had

whale: With hindsight, was it worth it? Not really, I should have gone for armour acq. Most of the jewelry was randart, but there were no truly great pieces. I was somehow under impression that troves give randomized loot, if I knew that troves are thematic, I wouldn't have risked hoping for an arm...

Funnily enough it did give me 16 items, all jewelry.

Psieye wrote: the game tries (i.e. will screw up) to give you a category you are lacking in.

I'll try the trove then.

Also not reading acquirement is silly. Why use an acquirement when you have enough means to deal with any threat or indeed run away from any threat in your current surroundings? E.g. I knew I can clear orc and there are shops on the bottom of orc and perhaps they contain exactly the books\armour\je...

I'm playing a 20lvl DECj blaster and I found a trove that asks for two scrolls of acq. It so happens that I have them (wanted to postpone acquiring until later to have a better choice). So is it worth spending two acqs on a trove? I'm fully covered in spells area, so I don't need any books, and I do...

This list of development planning (last modified today) includes "Removed stat death" https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dcss:planning:planning If this is true, then how come? I've always thought of it as a brilliant feature. Okay, the dex death was a bit silly, but other two were a...

What about over servers, like cao? Can't wait to try this, item destruction has always aggravated me. I suppose the choice "to use or not to use" is way more interesting than "to carry with you or to stash somewhere and tediously return every time you fought a mottled dragon or smth&q...

I must confess, I too thought that the spell is a bit overpowered, but now that Siegurt showed some calculations I'm beginning to wonder if the spell just feels more powerful when it really isn't (perhaps due to shooting two times per turn and doing decent damage for 1MP). In any case, I often use t...
