Got all the tiers, found the autumn katana in a shop on D:7, pretty nice find.

Hate Deep Elves, but the game turned out pretty fun anyway. Got all three tiers.

OOFs are found in 3 places, at least I'm pretty sure: 1. Zot 5 2. Occasionally in the rest of Zot 3. Zigs If you're in Zot5, you're trying to end the game. Zigs don't matter, they are 1000% optional. And OOFs in Zot 1-4 are pretty rare. At this point the malmutations help you not die to massive amou...

Okay, it was really tough/annoying. But I got it. All 3 tiers. So I got the two lair runes. Then went to the abyss to grab the third. Then dived down to zot:5 just so I could go back up and kill every unique that I came across earlier. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.18-a0-1575-g920359c (tiles) c...

Got tier 3. I was able to get the full vow of courage thingy too. 6 runes before depths. Had to keep unequipping a distort weapon to get to the abyss after I cleared everything else before depths. Ruined my amazing mutation suite. Diesel too. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.18-a0-1575-g920359c (t...

Dragon form does a truckload of damage. Base damage is something like 18+2/3Str + UC. So in the late game you can have it be somewhere in the range of 40-50, and that's pretty obscene.

Why not make it semi-passive? The real cost to channeling is that you need to spend a turn using it. At least, that's my understanding. Can we say that hunger is not particularly relevant (this is a legit question, not rhetorical)? Turn the "aa" into "s" or ".". I'm not...

Aren't Dg THE statgain race? Dg have 28 base stats and 18 more from levels (46). These wyrms would have 47 total stat points. Just thought I'd mention it.

I've played many games with kiku. I remember having games where simulacrum and animate dead weren't given. I'm fairly certain that neither of them are guaranteed, and it would be nice if you could get one of them for sure. It makes corpse gift much less useful. In those couple of situations I relied...

Deck of destruction doesn't have that many effects, right? Hammer,poison, negative enery, orbs, acid, polymorph. That's not too many.

I think giving just a destruction deck is a pretty good idea. Asterion has major destruction, which is a variety of effects that players would know if they play Makhleb. Players would similarly know Sabin's if they play Nemelex. I don't see how that is that different.

Yeah, the Abyss will spawn stuff within LOS. Should have mentioned. I don't think Pan will. I don't think Hell will either (barring hell effects).

The only place where you can miss your chance of getting runes is in Pan. The game even warns you that you'll miss out on it.

They won't spawn within sight out of thin air. They can spawn from staircases within sight though. If a monster randomly appears in fron of you and it wasn't from a staircase, I got teleported there.

Staff of Olgreb also gives pois immunity. I think.

So there's a bailey that used to have lots of deep elf fighters/mages with maybe a single knight. It used to be pretty manageable. Now after the mage buff and the removal of fighters, I think the bailey is now crazy difficult for a portal that can appear on D:8. It's also now is a bailey full of spe...

I think it'd be a good idea to stick Wz into warrior-mage. I've greatroled Wz, and the only wins that were heavy magic was w/ a DE and Sp.

NaWz is pretty good, I greatly enjoyed my mfwz game. I love playing DsWz.

It 's my favorite background , though I never use call imp.

My name Shariq and I'm getting my B.S. in Zoology in Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a pretty poor student and I've was hoping to get my degree in Biology but I couldn't pass organic chem, so I had to change majors. I've been dealing with depression for a while and I know the meds I'm taking are helping, bu...

I live in Madison too, that's neat. I attend uw-madison as a student.

I really like Ashenzari for extended, who hasn't been mentioned yet. Ash makes it really nice to go from one pan level to another, and get to the bottommost levels in the Hells. I also tend to ninja the runes and not pick fights wih the pan or hell lords. Ash isn't great in tomb, but I just learn Si...

I like a 1/4 fighting, 1/2 weapon skill, 1/4 dodging. I usually keep it like that until I get to around lair. I may train invocations if it's necessary.

Don't deep elf knights have it? Or was that removed?

I thought it was set to like 15 or something, so you don't get excommunicated. I've done it before and gotten back up to max piety with the help of a faith amulet.

Axes are the worst weapon type. Lower base damages than other catagories, much longer delay, cleaving isn't good. Cleaving isn't good because you never want to be in a situation where it's used. Axes are more underpowered than overpowered. DCSS is also a video game, don't pay too much attention to r...

It wasn't yellow scales?

I treat it as XP penalty, those combos are very easy for a player of your level.

Yeah, but my past 75ish wins was me doing the great Mf/Dr/Mo, so I dunno.

Well, "not skipping anything" is a conduct, not a strategy. On the other hand, I generally find I'd like the xp from depths. I'd like to see examples of winning characters who've done the skipping depths thing. The vast majority of my recent wins skip as much of depths and Zot as possible...

Does anyone else just skip Depths? I avoid exploring it when I can. I tend to have 8 ?mapping scrolls after getting my third rune, and just dive down to Zot 5. It's not hard to avoid shrikes when you only see <10% of Depths.

I think 4 is the best one as well, but I like the power of Dragon + Ozo.

Yeah there is both an ice and fire facet for tiers 2&3. I personally think icemail is better than freeze, sucks that they're less common than the other tier 2s.

I've played many demonspawn, and the wiki page is pretty accurate as far as I know. What tier 3 muations did you get?

Dispel undead works pretty well against player ghosts.

I think this idea is pretty cool. However, it'd be the only starting book with a level 6 spell, which I don't think is a good idea. Give it ignite poison instead of irradiate? except, it wouldn't? also, ignite pois would be a terrible spell to start with if you don't have a way of, you know, poison...

I was thinking about the renting an item too. I had trouble thinking about implementation though. Making it tied to xp gain would encourage skipping fights, making it tied to time would encourage speedrunny behavior, and I don't know if every player would want that. I was thinking something along th...

Since the only fire/ice spells I use typically are conjure flame/fcloud/Ozo's armour, I typically drop them once I've found a ring of rF/C. Sometimes when I haven't found any other sources of rF, I'll grab rings of fire for zot.

I always found training a lot of stealth helps you get through Pan/Hell unmolested. I also find Ash is pretty great for ninja-ing runes.

Isn't Yred in a good spot right now? The servants Yred gifts are pretty powerful, and animate dead/injury mirror are pretty strong I think. My understanding was that Yred was for winning a 3ish rune game. Not giving piety for demons/undead cememts that.

I had a stabber with a chaos quick blade, I was fighting a harpy. The harpy got healed, then berserked, then duplicated. It was not fun.

It works with it now? That seems pretty awesome. Why the change?

About self-damage: each ball does 3d20 damage (I think independent of spellpower). With rElec, it is cut to 1/3, so d20. With 10 ac or more, a ball does d20 - d10 damage, so avg. 5. Assuming sane positioning, not more than one or two balls hit you. You can expect to create 4 balls at decent spellpo...

My clan (Team Meat) has also noticed a surprising increase in wins this tourney. I don't understand it, but I think a few factors have led to easier descents: better randarts, singularity, God rebalancing, no shoals drowning, and definitely the cumulative changes of the past few updates (no item de...

You could make it so they need to gain X amount of piety to be able to draw another card, to prevent a player from just using it all at once. Basically, once they get the deck, they can draw 1 card from it, then be able to draw another every time they get a deck.

Somebody got it. Now the next combo (FoMo) has almost been finished (6/7 as of this post).

The item can also give characters ~5 AC, which is pretty substantial. I don't feel it'd be used for many skills, the only ones I feel like it'd be good for would be armour, dodging, evo, and maybe a spell school, like if you really need to not miscast Deaths Door or something.

Only 2 of the 5 body mutations actually negatively affect your character (horns/antenne). The other three still allow the aux equipment. It basically does nothing if you get talons 1/2 or whatever.

There's always greatplayer, greaterplayer, and greatracing.

Hi. If you have a proposal for a feature for crawl, it's going to need to be fully fleshed-out. Just throwing out the idea of an arthropod diety won't get you anywhere. You'll need to have powers, conduct, wrath, likes/dislikes all figured out. On top of that you need to explain what makes this idea...
