It's the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about them

Hepster

Thanks for the feedback, I thought the idea was going to be buried soon. I have been thinking on you have said and I was considering it already: the fact that you need to gain piety not carrying things lead to a stash management were you eventually go back to pick whatever item of your interest and ...

Recovering an idea of mine, also inspired by the "Excalibur god" and the defunct inventive god Pakellas, let me present you the God of ego branding or the god of "creating your own artifact" The god let you choose ego brands and stack them on your mundane armor/weapons after X ti...

The mod hits you with a mace of distortion
Space bends around you
Your post is in Crazy Yiuf's Corner!!!

Make the player lose naturally the XL once it hits the maximum value while staying in Hell/Pan, yet as as slower pace than they were achieved. You still can gain them by fighting to sustain the loss.

The thrill does not come from the monsters themselves but from you getting worse against them.

Why don't you like the fastest way to reach the Ecumenical temple?

Maybe you could elaborate on why this would lead to tedious behaviour? I can see that if you would use monster vs monster as the ONLY tactic, but i don't think that would be the case, as only SOME monsters would attack each others. I'm not sure either why dragging a bunch of orcs as cannon fodder w...

The dungeon is a peaceful multicultural environment so everybody is against you unless you control them somehow. I don't remember if berserkered monsters attack whatever is in sight, do confused monsters something similar? Neutral or peaceful beings may attack your enemies if they get in the middle ...

Make a zealot background to encompass all lost and current religious backgrounds and potential new ones. You are prompted to choose a god instead of a weapon equipment and you get the god from start and a standarized inventory fitting for that. If isn't fun enough because it removes the joy of decid...

Evoke reach with partial cleaving in the three tiles forward (example, evoked to the right). That's what you do when you reap.

I also think that Traps skill should be reintroduced.

Give the Stealth skill the benefits of the Traps skill too. Something like Stealth&Awareness.

I got something, thanks. By default I didn't get the blue replacing dark grey but I have set up the bold_brightens_foreground = true in the init for the local. The changes weren't related to dark grey, however. The trivial example of the goblin you have posted has taken effect on the screen/viewport...

Shafts are useful (if detected and avoided) to lure particular nuisances into them. They can save you from a deadly situacion as well they can set you in a deadlier situation. I think it's a balanced thing. Maybe I'm writing this because I'm recently biased to the first situation instead of the seco...

Just testing the waters so that it's too soon to make an assessment. I have a doubt, if I get any species and I set the skills to manual mode and I turn on every skill, wouldn't I be having the same "gnoll experience"? If I can replicate the same behaviour with the skill menu in a particul...

Sup folks! I have made a leap to 0.20.1 from 0.16 trunk and I have noticed a lot of changes! (time will tell how I feel with them). I used to tweak some console glyphs in my local installation and to my surprise I am unable to change the color assignation, only the character. I have tried to enable ...

Definitely, Op grows to OP

Is the level going down or are the people going better playing at Crawl?

The Lantern could bring drain status after a while so as to limit its holding or make it less attractive or paying a cost. Just the first thought I've come with, though.

Or how it should be:

Can it be suitable for a Chei caster?

What about a "peek into" ability to give a first glimpse of the next level just to be sure of which stair you want to go down?

You go down but you are undetected, if you move outside the stair or shout or attack, anything that is not going up the next action you lose that undetectability.

Less tedium, less boring so it's simpler to progress and focus in tactics. Therefore you are less prone to lose by boredom or fortuitous accidents but it is easier to die by overconfidence or obliviousness.

Everybody is very polite in the dungeon.

You forgot that item destruction is no more.

In 0.16 trunk the wand id is also done automatically instead of the silly test zap. The partially id wands waste more charges that those fully id; it is a smart way to integrate them in the id game.

seriously thinking I could possibly win

This was the first step to your later defeat.

Overconfidence kills more than anything.

partially ignore AC Why not just boost damage? I can imagine how annoying this ac-ignoring mechanic would be when fighting ogre packs in heavy armor. The boost damage was the first option. I have to look for the reasons against. There were for sure. edit: indeed the discussion didn't go too far htt...

I proposed the thrust/charge mechanics months ago for the M&F as a smashing opportunity attack; the problem is the cardinality of the directions where this attack can be done. Also many monsters can be more dangerous and even give unfair deaths if symmetry is used. >derailing on The alternative ...

Would sac carrying capacity be worth? I mean, limiting the number of different items capping the inventory slots and/or the number of same stackable items for a same slot.

Bienvenido. Also expect that your ideas will be criticised for good, maybe somewhat harshly. It is difficult to have a full consensus and even more difficult that something has really a positive impact because Crawl is a complex game and many things are currently available by some mechanics, either ...

After stepping on four don't know if they're much less detectable than other traps or generated more often or earlier.

They come from a mild nuisance or a challenge to run away to bring the feeling that you're worshipping Xom.

Mobility related, some abilities to consider could be something with doors, like open/closing doors at distance or trespassing them without opening

Still running a char with Wuldn. My impression is that you eventually become a trailblazer with all that endurance benefits whenever you find a good artifact. Blend in is a good ability to reposition yourself when surrounded. Haven't use the scenario change really much: by the time you can use it yo...

Nostalgia in CBRO is the answer

The rule is that you can go up if 1) there is no connected stone down stairs or rune reachable from that staircase up To go up is a chore with this rule. Once you have got the bottom and try to go up you need to go down for every downstair at each level even if the level has been fully explored. Yo...

What if this ability of opening/closing doors at distance were available for the new proposed god Wulndraste?

Provided that you can't retreat to a previous level, at least you can gain some knowledge of what is in the current level from a safe distance.

First thoughts: Horrible name (just remove the n), good concept -mostly because of the miniquest to put altars at some points-, still confusing piety rules, mild and unthematic powers, and yet another exploration piety based god. The blend in ability is intriguing. Does it mean that you go through a...

Now what?

Code:: the +1 falchion "hydraslayer" {slice, + fly, rF+ Int+1}

This name is misleading

Cuz original one didn't

Bull head in a man's body, that's simple.

I've seen that some exotic ascii symbols are not properly printed as glyphs in console -at least in online 0.16. Was some hidden change made to player ghosts in settings?

A pike or a sarissa could do the trick

I thought poleaxe was just an alternative name for halberds. Pollaxes are intended to be held as a long axe (like a bardiche or Danish axe) with a piercing tip while halberds are intended to be held as a spear with cleaving/slashing sides. The difference is subtle but I think the first one was thou...

I like the new concept of rapiers as thrusting blades upgrading from daggers rather than having cutlasses (too much ahoy matee ) For those who think rapiers are too modern fashioned (Renaissance era and such) here's a video describing some Bronze age rapiers which I like to imagine many dungeon race...

Why can't halberds do the trick of cleaving?

Never played but I liked the aesthetics. My concern is how much repetitive can it be being an open-world sandbox it needs to have variety to avoid that.

Then do something that affects whether you carry stuff or you have dropped it, so dropping is not a viable option, or at least not the way to go. What if burning/freeze/whatever locks the slots that contain consumables both scrolls and potions. If the slot is filled, you cannot use that item until t...

Aren't adders the main source of early deaths? And spiny frogs and black mambas can ruin your Lair exploration. Besides, between d:5 and d:10 for sure you found a bunch of killer bees. For all these cases rPois is still desirable in early game/pre-branches
