It's really not all that hard to figure it out. Relative to skill level 0 we get: -5: 42.0% as fast -4: 50.0% as fast -3: 59.5% as fast -2: 70.7% as fast -1: 84.1% as fast 0: 100% as fast 1: 118.9% as fast 2: 141.4% as fast 3: 168.2% as fast 4: 200.0% as fast 5: 237.8% as fast Is there a logical re...

don't take vampirism away from swords
muh flavour.

just a little offtopic: Why aren't magical staves auto-id'd on pickup/sight? It's quite irritating having to try each and every one of them on before finding the one you want to use. Especially when 99% of the time they don't generate before curses are completely meaningless. (At least on trunk this...

how about giving them reach? with the tail n all

I'd be fine with poisoned projectiles (with the exception of needles) being gone altogether. And the "returning"-brand isn't all that interesting either. i would make arrows have "flame" and "dispersal" bolts have "penetration", "steel" and "fro...

Imho curses fine as a mechanic but ?remove curse should be rarer

imho the only reasonable way to implement item destruction back is making it not random, and more controllable. -attacks themselves do not destroy items, but can inflict a "on fire/freezing" -effect on the player (this applies to standing on fire/ice clouds as well) -while player has this ...

imho you should never get more than 1 type of scales mutations, because
1) they clunk up the mutation list
2) almost none of the level 1 scales are interesting, since most of them only give you AC (and a unnoticeable boost in some other thing, like -1dex or 2SH)

I don't think eating mutagenic corpses and drinking !mutation and then drinking !cure mutation to maintain a laundry list of intrinsics on your A page sounds very fun. That's my point. The interface is much worse and clunkier than (e.g.) armor, for one thing, and I don't see how it confronts the pl...

I like this idea.
currently mutations and "managing" them is boring.
and you hardly ever get any before Zot/Pan

What's the point of score if you can create orb of zot (I think?) on the first turn and just ascend? You're free to mess up your scoreboard that way. Wizmode is a decent learning tool for the less experienced players imo. (allowing you to continue when you die)(that is, if you don't abuse the other...

It would be cool if Wizmode registered scores in a different scoreboard or just labeled them as Wizmode scores.

Why would you ever quaff potions when there is only like 20% chance they will help you, and the same chance to kill you

I don't see why recharging should be lowered. They are very rare anyways. I usually find 1-3 in the main dungeon (D,L+branches,V,Depths,Z)
you would always just stash/use them anyways the moment you found them cause they are so powerful and you don't want them destroyed.

yeah you'll easily sink 10-20h into One way heroics.
I bought it a way back when it first came out and saw it on reddit, and now installed it again when i noticed they gave steam keys for earlier purchases. And sunk another good 10 hours on it.

I think those platforming elements have been around since the 90's

Looks cool.
I'll probably try it out and keep an eye on it, for a while at least.

Ballistomycetes create interesting scenarios especially when Uniques have spawned on the same level.

There is no reason for not being able to autotarget them with spells though.

Magicite http://store.steampowered.com/app/268750/ (I have heard from a reliable source that this is a roguelike, but it looks more like off-brand Terraria to me, so ok) This one is more of a Spelunky-like and very shitty one at that. I advise against buying it. You just chop trees every game for t...

Glaciate does poor damage as a long range, which is why you invest in level 9s in the first place, it's a nerfed version of ice storm. are you serious? :D but by then most characters casting heavy conjurations will have a staff of energy or amulet of the gourmand anyway, so hunger isn't serving to ...

Imo hasting should use up ~the same satiation as berserk (maybe 500 or so), in addition to the +5 hunger/turn it already gives.

I always imagined elves being demon worshippers so Mkahleb could be another choice.

You only hunger frequently if you don't eat past "full" or even up to that point, You will notice that a full four fifths of all the races can't do this without finding equipment or wasting resources. Yes, if you eat chunks. Permafood, not so much, and permafood is quite plenty. You won't...

Food is an inconvenience because currently, you hunger quite frequently Yeah no. You only hunger frequently if you don't eat past "full" or even up to that point, or constantly spam high level spells/god abilities. That is if you don't play fast metabolism species. I also think that most ...

I would like to see someone explain how turning holy monsters always hostile decreases tedium.
All it does is remove a shitton of flavor, for no other reason than "muh streamlined as possible gaem"

That is what i aimed for.

Cursed equipment breaks on equip.

@Kittenz: You should play a draconian some time: https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=6856 Ouch. I don't like draconians because their mutation are somewhat boring compared to Ds & i like muh body armour :mrgreen: Also a randomization between 1% and 150% bonus damage seems incredibly ret...

Does the dragon-slaying brand even exist in any other weapons than the Wyrmbane? If it's generated on enemies it's kinda stupid and only shits on Draconians while everyone else is unaffected. (EDIT: forgot dragon form takes the extra damage as well) I don't think i've seen any dragon-slaying branded...

I just entered the holy pan as a TSO-worshipper and slaughtered everything :/ Didn't feel right. Also with most of the monsters removed from holy pan (/abilities removed), it was quite boring. I also missed phoenixes :( Imo they were the coolest holy enemy, but i admit they were kinda problematic. B...

What about a GDR-like effect, where high acc doesn't increase max damage but just makes it less likely to hit at the low end of the damage range the weapon has already achieved through base type, enchantment, skill, etc.? Like GDR, it would reduce swinginess. This makes sense to me because increasi...

What about just giving the player the ability to curse equipment by (p)raying over it? It'd be thematic, and it would be easily counterbalanced by simply reducing the number of remove curse scrolls in the game. At least in my humble opinion, the need to have a glut of these things for Ash worshippe...

How about everything curses on equip, but you have a high piety cost ability that makes Ash remove the autocurse from one equipment slot. (could also be used to apply the autocurse back to said equipment slot) (could also be limited to 1 slot at a time)
And removing the curse scrolls.

I've played him twice and only used the Shadow Step. Both died because of boredom. I just don't get what I'm supposed to achieve with Shadow Form.

This is something i would absolutely love.

lvl 4 is far too low, especially in a single school. nagdon's propositions are more like it, and even those are quite powerful.

Some toggleable auto-sacrifice when walking over corpses would be cool. I don't like the other things you suggested though.
But i hear they are removing chunks, so corpse saccing might be gone anyways and replaced with a better mechanic.

Is stat recovery based on time or exp gained like drain? it seems like this has come up before but didn't find a clear answer by searching.
It could be a good idea to give mummies a tick or a half or Sustain abilities.

confuse is not big reason for mummy early game deaths, where they are very very fragile, so i have no idea why you people keep obsessing over, making it sound like some huge flaw that needs immediate fixing.

They could start with a potion of berserk rage. or might.
Or a ring of sustenance.

I think the main point was to make mummies more interesting, not to make then significantly more powerful.
And auto-id would accomplish that quite well imho.

How would a person know how well he can dodge/cast spells in an armor he has never used?

I don't see a reason for this to be implemented. It would be a whole different deal if equipment could have +10 dex or something crazy like that.

This would be quite cool actually. The identification could be limited to non-artifact items only though.

Ghouls are a cool and unique race, and i dont think anything is wrong with them past the "wait for your food to rot & you need to eat all the time" - problem. I'm all for Demigod rework and a slight buff to Mummies Torment gets overused a lot. I do not think its a bad mechanic by itsel...

It does not sound any better than Fire Elementalist, especially when all the other spell schools follow the same simplified naming. (and/or the naming changes on those would be far worse then the current ones.)

Notably, however; where currently anything enchanted to +5 or higher becomes corrosion immune, making it completely non-noticeable to most games, the system is instead changed so that items become more likely to corrode the nicer they are. this would just be retarded. The acid pool spell would be a...

Can we do this and set the passive to the highest piety you've had, instead of fluctuating on invos? I mean, suddenly speeding up a bit and losing two points in all my stats because I used slouch is annoying. Especially if it leaves to being encumbered (Yes, I know item weights may be leaving, so t...

Fighter -> Knight (Kn)
Skald -> Battle Mage (BM)
Artificer -> Evoker (Ev)

these would be fine.

I like this.
