Since I'm gone soon anyway: Fuck you twelve. All your posts are passive-aggressive to downright offensive and how you are not banned is left as an exercice to the reader. You are on my ingore list so no need to answer me. I'm sure it's going to be very mature.

Please delete my account. k thx bay.

I dedicate this song to dpeg.

Well that escalated quickly

I mean by dev troll logic everything that is not an undead rat ninja robot mutant demon cephalid king is deemed unworthy of being a race in this game.
Heck, even the in-game description says that they are 'rather mundane'.

Because removing something that many players actually enjoyed playing is a good marketing strategy...

New class: bhikkhu. Sits down immediately after the game starts and meditates until he attains release from the cycle of rebirth. When this happens, you never play Crawl again. Even newer class: bodhisvatta. The bodhisvatta attained enlightenment but stays behind in the wheel of suffering until he ...

Zin: Lying is against the law! Confess your sin, or I will smite thee down!

Xom: This is hilarious!

Lugonu: Spread chaos!

It's a cool little puzzle/roguelike game that was heavily inspired by crawl.

I accpeted the sillyness of some other RPGs were you can play a bard and sing people to death. Justin Bieber does that too in RL, so I guess that works.

But then Zin came into my life and you can literally preach things to death...

What about the coaliton of good gods and their anti-fun policy (no cannibalism)?

When I made that statement, DD was the first thing that popped into my mind as another possible best class because of HW and damage shaving among other things. I'd still go with Spriggans for their movement speed, amazing aptitudes and the fact that when compared to DD, they have more freedom with ...

Lots of good ideas were suggested here, I especially like the following: Stealing/learning monster spells would be a great, interesting ability, but I fear that it is impossible for balance reasons (healing, hellfire, torment, blinkbolt, teleport self, versions of blink, revenant spells etc). Altho...

Quick! Rename them Lava Dwarves and cut them from the game! Sarcasm thy name is WalkerBoh... Edit: I didn't quite understand that 'buy a certain item ego'-ability that was suggested to replace Hatred. Currently, the poor Borean Dwarfs have two non-trivial negative abilites and since Hatred will pro...

I don't know how that issue would be solved (other than allowing the species to only regain HP when not doing anything, which creates an inconsistency with other species) Actually, that's what came to mind, though. Note that this would keep up and extend Crawl's idiosyncratic take on Dwarfs, which ...

Hrm, maybe every action should use up body warmth in exchange for a slow metabolism, but then they'd be like reverse lava orcs thematically... (it would also be really strange since doing stuff in the cold is what keeps you warm) This mechanic applied to spells isn't that different from hunger. You...

Fail Safe and Delayed Cast sound cool, but oh boy, Double Cast... From my experience in many, many other RPGs (and some card games), anything that duplicates spells is the bane of caster balancing. The devil has many names: Dualcast, Redx2, W-Magic, Double, Doublecast, X-Magic, Hades Magic, Fork, St...

How about this for an ability, based on the 'cholesterol' dwarf: Soul Fire: Casting spells draws upon the user's body warmth instead of hungering him. Casting too many spells without resting causes the user to suffer hypothermia with increasingly severe effects (from slowed to exhausted to DEAD. D-E...

Thanks for all the replies. From what I understand so far, I will: -Change/nerf some aptitudes (for example from bow to xbow) -Remove Warrior Spirit -Do something more with Doubt as many people suggested -Come up with a super awersome and never-seen-before ability or two The first three can be done ...

Of course, the cooldown would have to be very long, but if it's still too problematic of an ability, it can easily be replaced with something else. Suggestions are very much appreciated.

The few surface-dwelling dwarfs that survived the slaughter of their race by the hands of the Hill Orcs fled to the far north. Ever struggling for survival in the northern wastes and snow-covered mountains, they became adept hunters and fishermen - they are called the Borean Dwarfs. The art of battl...

Looks like I will have to come up with an idea so good that even the devs will have no choice but to surrender.

Thanks for the help bros!

I don`t even think that is a wiki-exclusive document, it is in the documents folder if I`m not mistaken. Well that would explain a lot. Because yes, I think that a video game wiki should describe said game and not render philosophical views that are pulled out of thin air; it should be neutral. But...

https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8298 You could pretend that formicids are still dwarfs. They even have the high armour aptitude MD had! Are you telling me that a suggestions for a dwarf/ant race got through and they cut the dwarf part in the last minute? No. No! that's not t...

There is a method that some players use to cope with the paucity of dwarves in the game currently. The trick is to mentally append "dwarf" to the name of species and play the game as you would if they were dwarves. So, for example, you can play as a "minotaur dwarf" or a "v...

Zin bestowed upon me the awsome power of hurling insults at all who oppose his or her divine law - which surprisingly doesn't seem to do anything. Except for once, where Sigmund was 'dazed'; probably the sight of someone trying to fight him by reciting the writings on a public restroom wall was too ...

To make a long story short: I'm still butthurt about the mean-spirited removal of Mountain Dwarfs, and it will be a cold day in hell before they come back. So I'm stuck with Deep Dwarfs ever since. The only problem is that, thanks to their inability to regenerate naturally, they are quite restrictiv...
