If you want a spell to prevent mutation, try Summon Butterflies.

Or you could just make potions of CureMut more common, which is a lot more simple.

g) Use Blork's singed pants.

Unless there's been some change I'm unaware of, you can't use abilities while confused.

So under the assumption Duvessa's ignoring daggaz's post:

a) Go north

It'd take more than a lower spell level to make ''Get the biggest drawback of playing Mu'' a good spell.

Statue Form's bonuses work for any melee attacker. Whether they're worth the drawbacks depends on the character and situation. And yes Necromutation is a bad spell. Fair enough. As for this spell, it seems like a fixed number of slaps with scaling damage would be more effective than a bunch of low d...

Damage shaving both stacks with AC and works on anything, including smiting, hellfire and damage from being poisoned.
On another note, GDR tends to get heavily overvalued by players. In practice it doesn't have much impact.
As for Passive Mapping, it gets stronger at later levels.

I also voted Cabbage because I really like coleslaw.
This was my story.

Statue and Lich Form both work fine for people without UC.

c) Use the Flail of Protection so you can have positive AC for once.

e) utilize acid spit

That was Duvessa's point, yes.

Also worth noting Cause Fear only works on Natural (i.e. not Undead, Demonic, Holy, or a plant) enemies and doesnt effect anyone berserking.

So are they like Hellephants with propellers or what

a) Kill Jessica. She's just a crappy Sigmund wannabe.

So VS and Fo are just SOL then.

d) Flirt with Menkaure. You always did have a thing for older guys.

The option to worship their own exclusive god is like the one thing HO have to make themselves stand out from just being the mid-point between humans and minotaurs though. Invo +3 is huge for any god where you want a high invo skill. Fair point. On another note, would orc priests now offer everyone...

Player ghosts use monster spellcasting rules. A player ghost can generate with any spell they had at 50% or lower that has a monster equivalent and will never miscast it (unless you've been hitting them with an anti-magic weapon, of course).

While I like the taxonomy reference, the name's a little unwieldy. Maybe cut it down a syllable or two to Lacertans/Lacertians?

Good, now apply this philosophy making posts, and maybe you won't go around insulting people for no reason at all.

There is never no reason to insult Bcadren.

Aren't you that guy who posts those terrible facecam videos in the SA LP thread?

I am actually trained as a game developer and quite capable. Being able to program a game is not the same as being a capable developer, as demonstrated by basically every idea you suggest.

Because it made them and Ogres/Trolls less distinct.

Demigods are better than (atheist) Humans at everything. Your implication otherwise is dishonest. They are worse at learning. Fact.

Didn't go with the no move thing as it seems more fun to move around first but I did this a few times. Died mostly right away. Trying a slower approach now.

It still seems that there is enough interest in the community about changing some aspect of demigods as they are now. Either change their name to something that doesn't mean "almost a god" even though they barely know how to use anything since their apts and exp are horrible, or actually ...

You know, you don't have to post a thread every time you come up with an idea. I just had a brilliant idea, we should make a "bcadren" thread, move all of his ideas into there, and then let him use that thread for any additional ideas he might come up with in the future. That way there is...

Is LCS damage affected by AC?

Everything in the game is affected by AC unless it's special-cased not to. Besides weapon brands and (most) attack flavors, that's a small handful of spells (most notably Smite and the Hellfire variations).

This works with Tornado as well.

CYCLONE OF EXPLOSIONS

In my experience, sacrificng early game strength for a potential pay-off later on is usually the wrong choice.

Mummy, Tengu and Octopode above Ogre? Mummy; because it can wear normal equipment and therefore get good AC earlier. Also MuNe, and MuIE get good spellpower significantly faster than Ogre equivalent. Though foodless spellcasting isn't a big deal High Metabolism spellcasting is a pretty fair handica...

I guess it's further a spoiler that adders do poison damage, of course I suspect the average new player will discover this more quickly then they'll find a ring of resist poison, but nevertheless monster attack flavors are currently 'spoiler' information. They are indeed, which is why a monster's A...

I watch quite a few kids' shows but have not yet watched that one. Not having heard of Spongebob is kind of like not having heard of Harry Potter.
