honeslty as drtm i would be unhappy to get white draconian the most because one of the reasons to play drtm it's dragon form and ice dragons absolutely suck in zot with their fire vulnerability

i would try a spas or possibly spen of dith...

or just a healer of ely

Sandman25 wrote:Rings of slaying don't speed up attacks so wearing +5 ring of dexterity and training more UC than Dodging could make the character more powerful IMHO.

yeah, i always focus on unarmed over dodging and fighting on febe, imo it's safer overall

but i completely disagree about wearing +dex over slaying

6.4 spellcasting + 12.8 hexes with 22 int is definitely more than enough for invis with a reliable chance of failing, those miscasts won't be severe

learn rmsl and invis imo

oh, that's great but ... it's coming with firebreath and flight and a whoppin +10 to strength ... can i trigger that myself? ... You can do it yourself with the Dragon Form spell, but by the point you can cast it it's usually more useful to have your armor unmelded. The exception being Draconians, s...

Usually my developing path is: train bow until is "enough", when i find a good spellbook i train the corresponding ability, for the remaining train a bit of fighting and a bit of evocations. imo train long blades (or w/e you want) to min delay and then go heavy into bows (if you want a hi...

Back in Linley's Dungeon Crawl the lack of a hunger clock was actually kind of a big deal. Permafood was way more rare, and eating contaminated chunks without an amulet of the gourmand was a terrible idea, so starving was a lot more of a worry. (Or maybe I just remember it that way because I wasn't...

Followers of good gods no longer get a chance to turn holy enemies neutral. So encountering holy monsters is now forced penance. Gotcha. Oh, and the good gods look even MORE like insane evil hypocrites. i wonder, if you worship tso if you can make your angels kill mennas... totally makes sense flav...

Actually FeBe was also won by a bot (but I think it was back then when Fe had something like +3 Fighting aptitude). if you mean cashybrid it was bot + human, i.e. bot for the most part of the game and human in zot, it's on lg, also i just checked the log, his fighting was just 13 felids didn't lose...

And FeBe just requires you to train all of three skills and berserk at the drop of a hat - some thoughts on under-and-overrated. yeah, you train just 3 skills (fighting, dodging and unarmed), get crazy damage (claws with high unarmed are great) and evasion and on top of that you have more piety for...

that's kind of close to felids (faster than average, claws, rather bad magic apts (-1, -2) except tloc, decent unarmed (0), have jump, probably bunnies should be limited in armor and weapon too)
except felids have multiple lives while your bunnies create multiple copies

afaik you can buy porridge and potions of blood (helps ghoules etc too), i dunno how expensive it is

needle stab is safer than dagger stab :3

Spriggans have terrible HP and very fast speed, and are nonetheless widely considered one of the strongest species. consider that spriggans have amazing evasion too which actually makes them quite hard to kill still i wouldn't place them at the very top, it's probably gargoyle and minotaur which do...

felids are surprisingly low, especially considering their 0.14 buff I've just played (and won) a HEBe, and it was a hundred times easier than Fe anything. Although I admit I played very few felids. dunno im pretty sure hebe would be harder for me than febe (i won one febe long ago at the first serio...

i know it was proposed and imo it's a very bad idea there are gods centered around melee&ranged (trog, okawaru), magic (sif, vehumet), invocations (ely, qazlal etc), stabbing (dith, partially ash), but nemelex is the only god centered around evocations. removing it would leave artificers and any...

well if they still didn't implement dwarven halls
imo the only way to get some new branch made it's if you actually make a well balanced branch yourself and devs will like it

imo short blades are better than m&f on spbe

Elyvilon also doesn't really work. ely really reminds me enchantress from dota, a cute and cheerful half-deer girl who enchants monsters and makes them kill their friends and families (she can heal too), it's basically what ely does, you pacify some orc warlord and he betrays his people and even tu...

why don't your summons attack out of sight anyway, are they slacking when you don't watch them or something? there should be some flavor explanation

this form don't look that useful

tentacles are masculine after all

sometimes it's the only source of easy exp and a chance to find some useful books/rare weapons (qblade etc)

Letting people only sometimes get items that are in deep water would lead to pretty silly crap. Stashing in water is good, and letting people perform an elaborate dance of fly and apport for slightly safer item storage would be bad. are you serious do you seriously think that the game should be des...

formicids are fo

so you can play foam

other major roguelikes it's adom, angband (has a lot of clones/forks, most notable one is sil), nethack (has a few forks) and tome4
i personally enjoy adom and tome4

we definitely need a pony race with love to eating apples

two players got nature ally 3 banner this tourney i.e. they entered tomb for the first time and got golden rune on the orb run
one player got branchless victory

combining that together looks insane

i had that idea yesterday. we all miss mountain dwarves (at least many of us), even people who never played them like me, they were one of the most iconic dcss races and it's frustrating that they were deleted instead of being reworked. now, if you think of formicids, they really remind reworked mou...

the game at 0.7 was definitely less intense than now, not sure if it was easier but it was more abusable. i mean those who knew how to play to win might win easier but those who didn't probably had more problems than now with victory dancing etc mechanics

0.14-a winrate is dramatically worse than 0.9-a winrate (0.60% vs 0.71%, or 0.68% vs 0.84% if you exclude quitting/leaving). This is a completely terrible metric though, since players tend to get better at the game over time rather than worse. It could also be lower because DCSS is becoming more, n...

most of people do 3-4 rune runs because there are little reasons to fetch more runes, people want to win, hardly anybody cares of their final scores much and the fact of getting more than 3 runes don't make your win better flavor-wise. if you consider adom, winning ultra ending there has a significa...
