-.-

Well, yes and no. They are more common the farther you go down into the Abyss, but can be found on any floor.

I completely forgot about that, lol. Note to self: Chei CASTER.

That was kind of the point of this topic. I think.

Auto combat, when you press the tab key on the upper left of the keyboard. It's useful for taking out weaker enemies quickly, but can be dangerous if it becomes a habit. Beware the tab key...

This whole topic seems like a ranting festival to me. Why are we all arguing whether or not MOST characters fall on one side of the proverbial iron curtain? I say give it a rest and stop writing incredulously long posts about your personal opinions on what makes a character either a fighter or a mag...

I'm sure this is probably a redundant statement, but as damage is calculated via a dice roll, only doing a couple of tabs will not really give you an accurate idea of how the fight will end. Typically, even on melee focused characters, you have to be a very high level to whack Death yaks to death, a...

damiac wrote:Death yaks are really dangerous, but also, simple to get away from. I do find them a good gauge of how powerful my character is. If I can just tab down death yaks in lair, I know I'm going to have a pretty easy time.

If you are trying to tab Death yaks, I worry for you.

I've read on the wiki about Vaults 5 welcome party and I was thinking to maybe haste/?resistance/?invisible/?agility, then cast control teleport, then ?teleport myself, then go down to vaults 5, read magic mapping, and then hopefully my tele will fire before I've taken any damage and I can hopefull...

40 mana is a lot. Just make sure you rest in between fights and you should be fantastic. Also, Vehumet grants mana upon killing units, so spells like fireball, bolt of *anything*, and other aoe/piercing spells are good for keeping mana pools high. It is always good to have a melee backup on any char...

Those were my exact thoughts.

Nice run! For the most part, it was rather well for someone still beginning the game. I have a few tips for you though, and some things to congratulate you on.

The Devs put a tengu warrior with a crossbow on D:9, along with a few ravens. My poor felid got mauled every time I tried to get the the lair entrance, which they were stalking, and eventually I just gave up and decided to farm orc for a bit. Got killed for the last time by high orc priest on Orc:1....

Nah, I'll just stick with picking one. Too many other options to pick from...

Bad advice. Occasional portal somewhere, and without ?mapping you can be late.

Good point. I hadn't realized he literally hasn't found a single portal yet, usually I find at least volcano or ice cave in the lair.

In respect to Trog's eternal glory, I present this; Two trog vaults within viewing distance of eachother. Character is a HEFE, btw. Oh the uselessness.

Spoiler: show

Whatever you do, don't even try Elf. I learned that the hard way with some of my first-rune games. Other than that, I can't really tell you where to go after this training or spell-wise, but I can help with inventory management. First off, you are carrying a lot of food at this point in the game, an...

Support it. Replace them with early harpies.

And while we're at it, lets replace all those big kobolds with tengus, just to make things more "interesting".

Has anyone actually ever gotten all the stars possible for a single comment being thanked? It seems like it would take more people than there are currently using the tavern.

Well, the wiki doesn't give anything about Jorgrun having earth sense, but then again, its the wiki.

Sprucery wrote:Crocodiles could pull you under in deep water and drown you. Crawl needs more realism

If this were true, then the Crocs would simply sit there and wait for you to unwittingly walk towards them instead of charging at you like every other creature in the game.

I've had this happen with Spider before.

In this case, does "web-sense" pass on to non-spider creatures? For example; one of my better runs was interrupted by Jorgrun (hope I spelled that right) blasting through a wall the turn after I stepped in a web. The reason I ask is because Arachne was in the same room as Jorgrun, and, con...

Crypt of the Necrodancer.

My favorite transmutations spell is Ignite Poison.

Every time somebody said "lab" I thought "Wizlab", then I realized you all meant "Labyrinth". That took me longer to figure out than solving the damn maze itself. :lol:

My sister is 10, and she can beat the crap out of a grown man, so let's just say the idea of a 2-year-younger version of her has burned it's way into my mind and prevents me from saying I could take on any 8 year old child in any environment.

That can't be right. How does an Octopode crusher throw you that hard?

So, I finally beat DCSS a couple days ago. Yay! However, within 24 hours, a very large pile of metaphorical shit hit the metaphorical fan in my actual life. Is this just a coincidence, or are the Crawl Devs trying to mess with me? Well, I'm depressed now, so I need cheering up. Help?

Well, I'm on Zot:4, about to do the Orb run. Before that, I would like to say a few things. Firstly, I got bored and got the abyssal rune (why not?). I also, in response to "Draconians are basically buffed up Elves", decided to clear elf with my amazing wand of digging, haste, and Mr++++. ...

Well I have to thank you all for the feedback. I'm currently running a MfSk and for once, I might actually just ignore Elf, but when the time comes I'll be sure to use much advice. Specifically the killhole idea, shows how much of a noob I am for not ever doing that. Also, sorry for the delay of rep...

So I think the real lesson here is that it's Online players who are irrelevant :P . Or more likely, tavern users. Or perhaps, in a truer sense, DCSS players in general. Maybe even just gamers. In fact, how relevant are people in the grand scheme of things? Hell, life is pretty irrelevant, at least ...

The cursed -2 morningstar "Trog's Vengeance" {Slay-3 rPois rN +Stealth}

I didn't do anything wrong! I got this on a TeBe, with max piety. I think Trog is secretly out to kill us all.

Edit: Failure on my part to actually remember what this thing was. Thanks to Sar for being a stalker.
