Well that's all alright then.

Even 10 levels later this death would've felt somewhat unfair.

These dudes can use their flame cloud several turns in a row, and the size of the cloud means you can't step out of the cloud in one turn, meaning you can be stuck in them for a really long time. If you have blink you're still likely to be in the middle of another 9-square flame cloud in the next tu...

I contributed!

Wow. That's a lot.

Self-explanatory?

Silly?

I assumed as much.

Would have just tried but I'm in a zig and it's on a body armour.

Thanks all.

Potions of experience allow you to train any skill, for some reason.

Using staff of earth as my melee weapon. Found an otherwise nice item with Slay-6. Will it have any effect on damage or accuracy?

Will do.

Is it with staff of earth specifically, as far as you know?

Code:: You hit the fire dragon but do no damage. You crush the fire dragon! _The fire dragon is severely wounded. You hit the fire dragon but do no damage. You kill the fire dragon!

Does it sometimes not generate a message when the crushing effect procs?

Accessible from the 'm' screen, an option to set a level at which a skill will stop training. Is there some way to do this already? Would save many future trips to the 'm' screen to check on skill progression, and would prevent overtraining. Also I'm really obsessive about getting levels to whole nu...

How?

dpeg wrote:I am sure a patch would be accepted.

Would if I could.

In the case where Pikel's slaves are spotted, but he isn't, still annotate the level with 'Pikel' (on the ctrl-o screen).

His slaves are different from generic humans, and there aren't any other slaves in the game, are there?

It's YAVP now. Went with the elec, but it turned out not to be all that important. Empty Z:5. Had two permanent teleport traps blocking the corridors in the orb vault, so I hasted and teleported...right into the orb chamber, first time. Used ?blink to land me on the orb, read ?tele. One Apocalypse w...

I'd assumed the elec.

I sacrificed a hand to Ru, so no two-handers or shields. (Loads of artifact shields lying around, this game. As you'd expect.)

Throwing silver I hadn't thought of, ta.

"The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: ru."

On the LearnDB too.

More than usual, I mean.

Is there a way to advance Arena turns one at a time?

Also, what do people use it for?
As a diagnostic tool, or something that helps you play the game better? Or purely for the spectacle?

Tried !Fear, after reading that it checks MR rather than HD, and that the scroll is always 200 power. Worked on the one, the other hit me for 21HP. As you read the scroll of fear, it crumbles to dust. You assume a fearsome visage. The hill giant resists with some effort. The orc looks frightened! Th...

HardboiledGargoyle wrote:Fear ought to scatter them easily

!Fear has a good chance of working on Hill Giants? I'd just assumed not, for no real reason.

I've used the other two stairs, so I know where they are. Think I just want to get off a ?Tele.

Using stairs while hasted takes 1.6 aut. With 1 turn to quaff, that's 2.6.

Safer than !Haste, move, ?Tele, move, move, move...?

Useless to start with !Agility?

Oops, it's not that you can't fire through IB, just that it asks for confirmation. Is there any chance that one could blind or damage the IB?

edit: CYC this mess...

Is there a reason one can't fire Dazzling Spray through IB, unlike Magic Dart, Searing Ray, IMB et al?

Thanks for the replies, guys; I shall endeavour to make more liberal use of it on my next AE.

Utis wrote:Walls reduce noise propagation significantly

I did not know that.

I see there were a couple related threads fairly recently (on Air noise, and spell noise), but to pose a specific question: Is it worth using Lightning Bolt on an AE? In my experience, at the time you get it castable (especially under Veh), you're really not prepared in other ways to have a quarter ...

Tiny request for perfect flavour. Inconsequential 99.9% of the time. Was shown the portal to an ossuary by Ash, rushed across the level, turned out to be a portal mimic. She should really have known about that. Despite myself, I'm actually quite fond of mimics, especially portal mimics, but they fee...

Am I waiting in vain for these glass walls to move? If I wasn't carrying an empty wand of digging, would that have worked? Will random blinking work eventually? ?blinking isn't allowed through walls... If I could cast it, would Controlled Blink be? [My game keeps crashing in Abyss; have reported it....

The code for the door is '27'...

Have a feeling it's going to be anti-climactic though.

Played a couple games with the force_more option, and while effective, it's pretty obnoxious, triggering every time you target a dude, step on an item etc, so I've taken to using 'message_colour = lightcyan:distortion' instead. Is it beyond the limits of the init to specify a force_more prompt the f...

It isn't entirely clear to me when you're in danger of confusing yourself with Dazzling Spray; is it just when you cast it at an adjacent wall? Is it a chance or guaranteed?

Should it not give a 'Y' prompt?

Most:
HE, Ds, Dr

Least:
Fe, Ce, DD

What do I need in the init for the message that a monster is wielding a distortion weapon to be highlighted, eg bright red? Possible to force a 'more' prompt?

Just Abyssed at XL9 by a dagger of distortion...

Can someone explain in simple terms the 'cost' option of the training screen in 0.17?

Apologies. I hadn't realised that !HW cures rot even when not at full HP. Always read the label...

Twice in my current game finding a sleeping frog has not stopped autoexplore. Once in Lair, here on D:14.

edit: It's just happened again on D:15, with a centaur simulacrum. Autoexplored right past it. Is just my character dump sufficient for a bug report?

Then the '...overly suicidal' message is confusing, and should just give the same message as when attempting to place on a creature.

As a Ds with flame-cloud immunity one is still not aloud to self-target with Conjure Flame. Is this just an oversight?

'That would be overly suicidal.' Immune.

As distinctly early-game enemies it seems a bit unfair to have max HP reduced pseudo-permanently at that stage of the game. Rather have the rot increased but wear off (slowly) with XP-gain, as per current stat-drain and 'Drain' status. Necrophages could have an 'xv' description mentioning that their...

Other than items and XL, are there any ways to increase one's magic resistance?

Thanks, that makes a good bit of sense.

I know Sif might not be the best choice, just had it in my head from the start.

Is it worth using a shield as an unarmed combatant, generally? I take it you lose the attack with that hand...

More specifically, playing a grey DrMo^Sif (18AC) with transmutations. Haven't been lucky with armours or ?EA and wanting for defense.

What's the standard strategy for IDing randarts? Does wielding/wearing randarts ID all their attributes? Are unrands always fully IDed by default (on the floor; in shops; wielded/worn by dudes)? A shop had both 'a bloodstained hat' and 'the +2 hat of the High Council {Archmagi, Wiz- Stlth-}'; I assu...

Had a sneaking suspicion this was the case, thanks.

Found two armour manuals in a bailey; is it worth training armour on an ogre with only soft clothes? Can they wear dragons?

And what's the idea behind giving ogres +1AC for tough skin? Why not 0 or like 6?

Reported the rod of destruction business.
(Penance took far less time than I was expecting to wear off, btw. No retribution at all.)

From the few times I've cast it so far this game, Dragon's Call under Dith does indeed seem to prevent fire or gold dragons from spawning. Happy days.

Just got put into penance with Dith for Tukima's Dancing a rod of destruction, sans warning. Is that cool?

Also, is a similar thing going to happen when I cast Dragon's Call?
