Hi there folks- I've been away from Crawl for a while, and I've recently had a go at some newer versions. I've been really enjoying Dj, but I think it's got a problem with the spell selection dice-rolling. I've talked to multiple Dj players online, and I've heard from more than one that optimal play...

But I'm on OSX!

Is that Martinelli's?? Haaahaha.

Also Tabstorm is a cutie.

.6 - last version before energy randomization revamp, last version with rational aptitudes What's this mean? .9 - last version with Hive, without innate reaching/cleaving I don't play with axes often, but I think I still cleave without selecting anything, don't I? .11 - last version with plain vaul...

I'd love a gender stat too

I love this idea!

In general I appreciate your contributions to these discussions... but c'mon man, you don't need to be so rude all the time.

Autoexplore ends if the player is attacked?

am I crazy or does the story end at turn 755?

Clean that desk...

Morgue file: http://pastebin.com/FSuNEf8K So I've been trying HOFEs for months now, and I inevitably fail somewhere in the neighborhood of two runes. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, except maybe trying to hybridize too early. Should I stay full-on spellcaster? Should I abandon spells as soon as p...

My name is Nick, I'm 27, and I live in Los Angeles, CA. I work in film production, doing lighting for the last year, and this year I've moved into the office on the production side. One day I'd like to be a full-time producer. I practice Muay Thai and I've done two fights, winning both, which is pre...

That's standard in Kyokushin Karate.

I've always wanted someone to listen to me! Sadly, I didn't seem to make the list. Anyways, bread and butter doesn't make you fat, eating more calories than you burn makes you fat (over time). Somewhere down the list of priorities way at the bottom is buying a bread machine; I don't know when I'll ...

Good way to put on a ton of weight.

There was some old maxim rom a forum I used to visit that stated something along the lines of "anyone who cares enough to post a "I'm never coming back message" will inevitably return.

When I first started playing crawl, I was disappointed that I couldn't defile other gods' altars. What about this-

Defile an altar for a piety bump, at the cost of a toned-down penance / wrath from the defiled god.

Wow, I actually just had to deal with this. I had some wax in my ear, and I thought I could grab it with a q-tip. I've used them successfully plenty of times in the past. Not this time- I completely stopped up my ear. I had to go to an urgent care clinic before work to clear it out. I was completely...

It would have, but duvessa had to go all snarky-crawl-player which is where this is coming from.

To address OP's question: this thread has made it clear that he had no business in extended. He should have won a few [more] 3-rune games, gotten good at crawl, and only then tried extended. This is extremely silly. It is not for you to dictate how someone enjoys the game. OP asking for help on a s...

I've won 11 times, including four 15-rune games.

Some issues if you are interested: 1) Invocations 10 and no use of any invocations 2) Too low spellcasting (12 levels less than fire magic!) 3) Too high Dodging (Dex 11 and IDA) 4) Too high charms (ring of flames will be castable naturally when you have charms enough for haste and fire magic enough...

How is it you didn't have any elemental evocables, sack of spiders, ornate deck of summoning, etc? IIRC, these things didn't exist in .8, which was the version I believe I started on a few years back. They've just never become part of my repertoire. I always tell myself I'm going to start using the...

Except it's not humor or a condescending non-answer. triorph told you a way you could have avoided this death, which is what your thread title asked for. How are we supposed to know what answers you think are "obvious" yet decided to ignore in favour of dying? You were paralysed by giant ...

Cool, thanks guys- I guess I just need to pay more attention to the abilities of the monsters around me. I had fog, too, I could have probably fogged him away. BTW, I'd just like to say... Well, you were in Pan when you could have already won the game. ...that I hate hate hate this type of snarky &q...

I was paralyzed and subsequently killed, despite high MR. Just curious if you guys have any pointers. Thanks!

What if you just have all monsters regenerate health super quickly? Wouldn't that disincentivize pillar dancing?

You might have been livid, but you'd have little justification for it. The devs have been pretty clear that speedrunning, highscores, streaking -- basically any player goal except "grab runes, win game" -- are not important design concerns. They're a meta-game that the player base invente...

Why was this moved? I don't think this belongs in the "random" section...

Since we're talking about it, though, why make corpses / skeletons disappear? No other undead in the dungeon disappear after a while, why do mine? Having permanent allies is brokenly powerful, especially for 1 MP a pop. That said, I feel like maybe a good Kiku buff would be making your undead allie...

Hey y'all- I mentioned this in ##crawl-dev the other day, but figured I may as well encourage some discussion here on the subject too. Now that raised zombies / skeletons disappear after a period of time, Kiku is significantly weaker. I end up burning through tons of piety summoning and re-summoning...

Ooooh yeah, what happened to them? Seemed like a decent, flavorful monster.

How about if wrath summoned dancing weapons a-la Hall of Blades?

Big kobolds are a bit more of a threat to really squishy characters, so I'm ambivalent.

What I'm really excited about is the return of notcluie. I missed you so much.

I don't suppose anybody has a newer-than-May version they can share, do they?

also having an issue compiling. Gammafunk said it was an SDK problem, but I don't think he's had time to address it yet. :'(

What about myyyy suggestiooooooooon?

That's an interesting idea. I was thinking about this the other night, and I liked the idea of gaining some divine-flavored mutations, a-la a holy Ds. Wings, for instance, holy aura perhaps, so that by the time you're max level, you're some sort of divine being. There has to be something "holy&...

Read that, plus click the link to the "Wizard's Castle" entry.

What about adding Gnomes in place of Halflings? It was a Gnomish Wizard who created the Orb we're all diving for, no?
