Thanks, I was ok with shock hitting for 80 damage, but chained lightning at unreasonable spellpower triggers oneshot protection in two bounces (lol who has this on), leads to 120 messages of spam vs immune targets and scrubs anything else off the screen no matter distance or positioning. Might as we...

hellcrawl is missing because you gotta save the best for last

also how does one remove the ridiculous uncapped spellpower from circus animals to truly enjoy the best fork

In this thread we discuss forks and their many MANY choices that can be good or can be bad but are nevertheless freed from the tyrannous, patronizing yoke of consistent development. Once upon a time one could only dream of beauty like that. Featured topics: Circus animals which is very neat. WuTang ...

@PF: The whole first half of the post is referring to the logic stated in the commit as one of the big reasons, namely repositioning prior to approaching asleep monsters. The entire point was showcasing how repositioning is almost always ideal regardless of LoS being a circle, a square or a triangle...

sword of power does fucking own though

I believe the status quo lends itself better to creating interesting situations given how crawl works, and is the more desirable choice over squarelos. To go into more detail than "no it's great really" I would like to point out the commit's mention of repositioning prior to engaging in co...

I thought the entire point of quaffing poison for superpowers was that they opened opportunities for everybody. People who do damage with spells benefit from might as much or more than everyone else and the MP is still welcome, for everyone else might is might and MP is relevant for fueling god abil...

@Lasty: Would need one hell of a reason to actually bother using anything but venom under Dionhissus, I do have to say. Certainly wouldn't bother with the ?brand minigame and it's not like one couldn't just make it impossible to rebrand due to being a gift from your god. I do think your comparing hi...

The god doesn't really give you a way to poison opponents, making its powers mostly useless unless you have a weapon of venom, blowgun, or Poison Magic. As a result, the god is fairly narrow in appeal. On a low-level VM, compare Veh with this god: Veh says "I'll change how your spells work, ch...

It is wholly retarded to hold "but you might wanna poison yourself while exploring " as an actual argument against the god. No you goddamn won't. Not even in preparation for fights you would want to do such a thing. You throw out the window your ability to use mass slow and frenzy without ...

in the part of the game where curses are relevant.
hehehehehhhehee

literally hitler

god damn the one on the left is really damn accurate and catches the "gon get shanked and bitten" perfectly
and the one in the right is like a VS boxer that can't afford pants and is actually jim carrey in the mask

man this makes me so happy.

you're not fun at all nicolae

… I’m not deciding for anyone whether they believe in God. I was just making the point that, having known a lot of racists during my life — I grew up on west Philadelphia, was around many courageous civil rights champions, such as my parents — but, in that area, I was also around many true racists, ...

Probably more of an oversight than anything else.

I also managed to anger some atheists this morning, because I took the position, and I think this is true… that you cannot believe in God and be a racist. Because if you believe in God, then you cannot possibly believe that God made somebody inferior just because of the color of their skin. No, I ne...

The roots of this kind of racism, this kind of attitude where somebody really thinks they’re superior to somebody, just because of the color of the other person’s skin? First, what it tells me, you know, my constitutionally-protected opinion about that person, is: they don’t believe in God. Nobody w...

literally the worst thread

stick to the large oval brown seeds of tropical palm trees BLOAX

thought WRONG then

since sar is being all constructive and shit and making me look like some sort of CAVEMAN I initially assumed these were tiles for three different spells: tornado, some ice aoe stuff and some poison aoe stuff. Note that this already is a bit bad; there are several spells both in ice and poison that ...

can't see shit out of ten

jokes aside the coffin is better than gong, given characters that would consider using any

not particularly

ok

literally could not be any more wrong

No see the thing is that for example important entries like the one for Jiyva are fucking terrible. I distinctly recall noticing it being fucking terrible four months ago, forgot to fix it and guess what, it still is fucking terrible today!
At least the quotes above are funny, if no longer accurate.

(the joke was both the tavern and the wiki are open in the background right)

Wow this is fucking terrible.
I even got my hopes up after the yak god and then christ.

If you have cast LRD just once in your entire life you should know it automatically aims at possible targets that are not dungeon features, so there is no need for spoilers or whatever. I think this would be cool and since boulder beetles are one of the few monsters whose movement the player can inf...

Mostly it happens as you get exp so it has a lot more of potential to be lethal, seeing how it can catch you in significantly weakened states.

Sticks of poison clouds and freezing clouds and even a mutation that gives poison cloud beams have been available for quite a while now without it really being a problem.
If someone were stupid enough to walk into the paracloud then sure I'd greatly enjoy that as well.

I remember that before I sank hour after hour into the game saccin' particular foes that'd given me a fair share of trouble felt just as right as the useless messages you get from praying on your god's altar when you stumble upon one, not only that but it would give a degree of closure to the encoun...

fun will not be tolerated

Autosac exists and pretending it does not isn't a good reason to make Fedhas' ability to destroy all corpses in sight (which can be varyingly relevant to survival in a number of situations) be common to all gods that accept sacrifices. Furthermore this just leads down the slippery slope of questioni...

I believe the MP cap serves pretty much no purpose and could be removed without any further tweaks (because it already in practice does nothing).

Pretty sure regen is mostly for keeping your HP as high above zero as possible and has in practice nothing or very little to do with piety.

Certainly comparing elements of the game that have a player exposure level as high as monsters is fine, but somehow I don't think a single unrand is one such element or that the way it would work is non-obvious enough to carry any appreciable burden of knowledge. Of course Crawl has a history of loc...

That's how I've been picturing it all along so doubt it.

Meph has an awkward cloud-placing system that I think would be unneeded here, just a straight line would also allow for much more comfortable targeting.

It sounds like a pretty fun item and if clouds were to work based on something unrelated to skill I could see this thing seeing use on a good chunk of characters. I also believe that given the existing rates of needle generation this would have negligible real impact in the game balance other than o...

Corners are pretty offensive I suppose.

0.14 Snake monster. Has af_elec, hasted speed, and a ranged elec attack between shock and lightning bolt (think eels). When hit hard, zaps enemies (to it) near it proportionately. When a shock serpent is hurt, taking 5 or more damage, calculate pow = rand_round(dam/9). If pow is greater than 0, the...

Vampiric brands heal you a great deal more if you're a Vp and are doing decent damage against things that normally can bleed.
It is unlikely you're doing decent damage with a vampiric +0 dagger however, so the elec one is the better choice.

I think the whole deal with bottling your own blood leads to things like leaving bubbles in orc alone so you can go back later and eat them should you have the need to do so. It also makes bottling blood a bit silly since once you have a feeling for how long it takes you to get to decent satiation l...

I can see why one wouldn't want to do both at the same time in a given game but since this is the case in crawl already I don't think any of these methods is inherently superior to one another and also don't see how the player experience would be improved (or affected at all) in any way by giving ev...

The robe is a hell of a lot better than a MDA, you should've enchanted your auxiliary armor already by this point, too.
A dagger of elec is a great weapon you can and likely should use forever. This doesn't necessarily mean you want to stab people.

Toss a stone to the tile orthogonally adjacent to the monster you want to wake up. Monster in question doesn't need to be in your LoS itself.
