*sigh* Care to explain, or just gonna pose? Also, there was that whole rest of my post The shields thing is the one thing in your post that makes sense, but it doesn't really matter much. I don't think I need to explain that something which has fast movespeed, hooves flavored attacks, skill with bo...

Right now centaurs are generically fast, good with ranged, naturally armored , go well with shields , have an auxillary attack, are big enough to fight well in water, and are a bit more robust than aveage. Am I more describing a horse, or a large scaled creature which shoots things and has a consis...

Thanks for directing me to some awesome videos, but I didn't see any rejoneadors stabbing bulls while fleeing down a narrow corridor from a charging bull.. from ten feet away. If you start questioning range of weapons in crawl beyond "polearms reach 2 tiles away"(who says 2 tiles is 10 fe...

if you watch footage of a rejoneador(horseback bullfighter) you will learn that horses can in fact move backwards(or sideways) quite quickly. certainly a hell of a lot faster than things on 2 legs, and weapon reach is very very abstracted. at any rate this seems kind of needlessly complex, and kitin...

this is needlessly passive aggressive, even for you

Pressing 5 once more in the rare situation where you are fully poisoned, but also win the fight and have a curing potion(so, basically just swamp dragons or green dracs sometimes) is not a big deal. also, maybe remove curing potions if poison can no longer be lethal. That way with new non-lethal poi...

So: getting poisoned is a big deal if and only if there are monsters around that can otherwise damage you. I'm feeling like there's some important downside to this that I can't think of right now...? This new poison system would be yet another great reason to lure monsters before fighting them. How...

Because enough other backgrounds are highlighted Even if you think +1 backgrounds highlighted would be enough to take things over the line from "not too many choices" to "an overwhelming amount of choice", this still has the issue where greyed out backgrounds imply to new player...

Sure, but why not highlight Gl for HO as well when they're so similar?

yesno wrote:to make crawl really noob friendly devs need to introduce unlocks, trophies, animations, and sond efeacts

I would love each of these except the first

Even so, there's inaccurate stuff. ex: Hill Orc should definitely have Gladiator highlighted if Monk is, because Monk is considerably worse(and less simple) than Fi/Gl

dungeonmans has Champion potions which boost all damage(and lower all damage taken), which seems like an ok 'generic' name to me if it's to go that route

It does hurt gameplay because the whole point of monks is they have worse equipment but bonus piety, giving them a great starting weapon is the opposite of that design goal.

Charms is already barely a spell school.

definitely get advice on the situation from a bunch of weirdos on the internet

Dr is really good for a starting caster race though. You get good free AC and don't have to worry about armor encumbrance("what should I wear" is one of the biggest hurdles to get over when you first start playing casters)-and when I started playing, I liked Dr because the colors meant mor...

said hell endings shouldn't exist in the first place, there's no reason there should be hard flight checks anywhere, postgame or not

it's pretty good though it doesn't have poise for players(you "have" a poise number but it does nothing)

In my experience the way to use Conjure Ball Lightning properly is "don't memorize Conjure Ball Lightning"

move speed is really, really strong. but taking advantage of that power is kind of annoying, so they're not popular

If the description of might said what it did it would be mechanically clear. It's just confusing to new players because it's not obvious it adds 1d10 damage, if you are new it seems like it just increases Str by 5(which can then lead you to believe that increasing str by that much leads to huge dama...

rmsl/dmsl aren't that good in the first place and using brilliance to cast them is definitely not worth the consumable

im going to wish that you dont do that actually

How is the rest of the school based around "frying off your own eyebrows and indiscriminately blowing up everything on screen"? I don't know about you but I don't ever normally hurt myself with my own fire magic spells(or usually affect that much of the screen), even fireball can be used s...

Ash would not be that good even if you didn't need curses.

I'll agree that I would prefer that, though. Ash can be a straightup god of divinations instead of divinations and also curses.

that's sticky flame(or depending on how you argue it, Flame Tongue could be "best" because FE need it to survive the very beginning, then conjure flame #2, but for other starts that find that book it's Conjure Flame then Sticky Flame)

where did this model come from, 2004

Inner flame is also a spell which isn't worth learning once you realize how amazing conjure flame is. Most of the time people use inner flame it's on something behind a conjured flame, but all that means is you kill a group of orcs or whatever somewhat faster than if you just cast flame tongue on t...

The second part of why it's good is how most enemies that have enough HP to be willing to walk into the flame(sometimes takes a few turns, it's a random roll if they decide to based on their HP) will get demolished by it. You can kill hydras, death yaks, etc like this.

Why do you keep regging accounts and posting when you think you deserve to be banned

like do you think the point of a ban is to just make you hop accounts or

Yeah, I think fire magic is pretty carried by that spell(in comparison to other elemental schools anyways).

IMO a lot of that comes from conjure flame, which feels like a bit of a cheesy spell to use to its full potential. (Especially because of how enemy AI deals with deciding to walk into damage clouds.)

Dungeonmans has a meteor spell, but in that game you mark a spot for it to come down and it takes a turn to actually arrive. Which is cool because you have to plan ahead where enemies are going to be one turn in advance, which situationally can be a bit tricky. Kind of the opposite of Delayed Fireba...

It is true that on a FE who had trained Conjurations and Fire Magic higher than anything else recently(earth magic third), I got offered Ignition, Crystal Spear, and Tornado(???) recently. Getting 2 level 8 spells and only one level 9 spell for a school I had not trained at all sucked pretty hard, I...

of course, there is also optimal play for getting highscore, optimal play for low turncount, optimal play for low realtime, and optimal play for winning as much as possible without driving yourself insane(the realworld cost of too much optimal play)

What's the point of gaining colors/resists and the like on levelup when draconians already fill that niche? Also runes being tied to character progression beyond being needed to progress the game is a bad idea for many reasons. If I like the color I have now and grabbing a rune will change it, why p...

got emo hair instead of preppy hair at xl 7 again... this species is stupid, encourages too much startscumming

dragons have been more popular than foxes amongst furries for a while now so really we're already at that level. FR: sparkledogs species which gain random neon fur colors and patterns as they level up, and overcomplicated accessories which will never be properly shown on their ref sheet(resists scre...

what would be the gameplay distinctions of this species, though

Why? They are removed simply for gaining piety(IE basically doing anything) under this change.

Vp actually should be simplified though. although it should be taken farther-only 2 states, dead and alive

I am actually totally fine with uskayaw because yes, it is pronounceable(and spellable without looking it up). my judgement on hepliaklqana(as a name) is it's maybe the only thing you have put in the game which I dislike, and when I was writing that post I actually was thinking of how annoyed I got ...

I would have grabbed NT if I didn't already have over 500 hours in it lol

I'm ambivalent about species names but I will say I am so, so over purposefully unpronounceable god names. I don't care that earlier gods already have annoying names, that doesn't mean the problem should get worse... it makes not only searching for the god you want on learndb and stuff like this a p...
