Since Lesser Beckoning exists, there may as well be a Greater version. Scroll of Greater Beckoning: Irresistibly pulls all enemies in LoS as close to you as possible.

The way to make charms "tactical" is not to force you to cast them in combat. This isn't actually what happens most of the time anyway. In the vast majority of cases, you have time or can make time to cast your duration spells before engagement -- this is true of charm and non-charm durat...

What exactly is good about having to recast repeatedly outside of or right before combat? Nothing! We agree on that. The discrepancy is how we try to fix the problem. Your approach is to move Charms away from other spells (cast often, mostly in battle), towards items (change rarely, and out of batt...

I think what devs ideally want to do is to make Charms something you actually cast in combat , and even then only occasionally, so they give them drawbacks, like slowness for Ozo (which doesn't really change things.) N.b., w.r.t. when you should be casting charms, an equivalent to my solution would...

Actually, you know what else is slotless equipment? Mutations. But in order to get mutations, you need to risk getting bad mutations, just like you need to (under this framework) spend (risk) skill points actually training charms. That, and in the endgame, mutation power falls off - just like charms...

Devs: also we don't want to make Charms into slotless equipment (even though we did with RMsl/DMsl) Hurricos: *makes Charms into slotless equipment* What's the point of NOT making charms into slotless equipment if they're already just slotless equipment plus spammy functionality? What exactly is go...

To fix charms forever: 1) No charms automatically expire; all charms stay active until triggered to deactivate (a la DMsl / RMsl) or deactivated (UI: deactivate through spell I inerface). > Infusion can trigger a power-dependent number of times before deactivating, stays active otherwise > Shroud of...

Oka's gifts ("Improve") are better than Trog's? Antimagic on a good weapon beats just about anything Oka will gift, short of an extremely lucky artifact. Oka gifts armour, so you get a decent weapon and decent armour instead of a slightly-more-decent weapon, and Finesse+Heroism is more us...

This is not a good solution to the problem identified in this post: now instead of switching repeatedly to a +2 flaming dagger to kill green rats, you have to switch to a weaker bow to kill green rats. Disagree. There exists an inherent difference between ranged and physical combat, and switching b...

The issue another poster brought up has a very simple solution: instead of requiring hunters to switch weapons and modify their playstyle every time they decide they should conserve arrows, introduce a new ranged weapon brand 'infinity' that doesn't consume ammo. Perhaps make it anti-vorpal as well ...

Does this mean Octopodes can shoot their ink, too? Felids can cough up/shoot furballs now, to make up for the inability to hold projectiles?

Everyone that matters knows smoke is just flame's corpse.

Back when St was a thing, you could fuck Mennas up by tossing a potion of mutation.

Killing Mennas the apis is easy and fun. Pearl dragon, maybe not, though.

Orc wizards also get no stabs or real stealth, and only have shitty attacks to use with Haste.

Just my take.

How similar is your SG to the proposal I wrote? I mostly called it SG (instead of Grue) for the same reason we have gargoyles instead of Grotesk...Grue refers to a very specific other game's version. The proposal is identical, but for a +0 UC apt and more flat weapons apts. And the overpowered 4 ri...

Also, make exceptions in all cases that butchering the corpse would yield a hide.

If I'm a Tr of TSO, and I'm butchering a Tr, I *generally* want the hide, not the meat.

Same goes for all races of Zin. It's annoying.

This is entirely local, on local builds of SG and Si, which were written by me.

I'm not sure whom to contact for getting these onto public servers - it sounds like you might be interested in playing one, though?

Ho boy. These were a doozy. Very fun play, but at the same time very strange. The Simian (a fast, frail, UC/TMut-oriented race that converts half of all mutations - random, beneficial or malmutations - to Claws, Fangs, Hooves or Talons) turns out to have great synergy with Makhleb (no surprises ther...

High power lightning bolt is insane midgame. It's basically DEAE / TEWz's bread and butter.

Better fix: buff CBL by making balls sinv and making them explode when next to a target, not in range of them.

Their casting aptitudes are so insanely high I imagine this would just degenerate into spamming Makh and spells.

Why should these be added to the game? Because currently enhancers staves are boring and dull, while still being very good weapons in the right hands. Take a TeAr, for example - find a Staff of Air and absolutely trash everything that comes in your way using the passive. That, and randarts exist fo...

Because it's tedious to press two keys per attack (v enter) when you could be pressing one. Although reaching is worse than 2 keys because of targeting. Maybe if the knockback was a fighting stance that you could turn on and off that would be better, but I'm not going to judge what is acceptable an...

This also wouldn't be trample at all ... it would be a one-tile-range force lance effect, which is significantly different. Trample would push monsters away while pushing you forward as well, which is basically only useful if you're a monster trying to get a player off the stairs or out of a corrido...

I'm just about done with my posting flurry. Just let me finish this one last rant. GCs are stupid and not used much outside of Skullcrusher. There's no real reason to use them on the races you can use them unless you can't find a spiked club or find a fanTAStic GC (like Skullcrusher). Here's my sugg...

Seriously. Devs, get on this.

That is, make enhancer staves have randart versions.

Let every non-Fe race wield every weapon. Yes, I mean Sp with GSC. Just bear with me. It doesn't need to make sense, it just needs to be balanced. Here's how I'd do it: All one-handed weapons are now one-handed for all creatures. All two-handed weapons are now two-handed for all creatures. Obviously...

Here's how to balance it:

When dual-wielding, the base delay increases by 7 auts, requiring 14 higher weapons skill to reach mindelay. Also give significantly reduced to-hit.

Context of innerflame's utility for FE: Innerflame + Sticky Flame = walking bomb, and the tick that applies damage to the monster happens right after you move, so they're never next to you except for on the casting turn. Very good for dealing with yak packs. Innerflame's general utility is with rang...

Zin need not cause paralysis. He should still be able to cause a permanent effect equivalent to it, though. Instakills are fun.

Really, though ... can someone implement this? I really want to play a race like this.

... Dragon Form + Sublimation ... hnnng.

To expound on my thought process a bit; this is combining three things I want to see exist. 1. A large race that is magic affine (by large standards; Human-tier Int with good spellcasting apts is tengu-tier "good with magic" which is significantly below HE or DE with their way above avera...

Definitely call it a grue. Looks like a great race to play with Kikubaaqudgha + Sublimation.

Air. Lightning Bolt is insanely powerful the minute you get two enhancers for it (and 7# power for max range). Very few things resist it too, which I like.

A full torment basically doubles the damage other monsters do (sort of). Unfortunately, it doubles it again if you get tormented again. Perhaps after one torment, your health should be reduced to 1/2 and a Torm[1] status should be granted; then after another, reduced to 1/3 (or equivalently reduced ...
