How long do the shadow trap summons last? What if they only last for a very short amount of time? Is there anything wrong with, instead of doing the summon shadows, the trap instead does that Guardian Serpent spell that pulls creatures from the level immediately to the player's location? That would...

So... I used the first Scroll of Disappointment on my MiBe today... I only had a +1 plate on so I decided I'd take a gamble and be disappointed with crap armour...

Code:: M - +8 orange crystal plate armour {Archmagi, Int+3 Clar SustAb}

The scroll did not disappoint.

Code:: M - +8 orange crystal plate armour {Archmagi, Int+3 Clar SustAb}

Just got that crystal plate from my first scroll of acquirement on this char.... I think the odds are fine.

Now it's a YASD, hooray for roguelikes!

Thanks! I've got my armour up to 14 now and am still working on it, as well as evocations so I can get my wands to be more reliable.

Could you explain? Only reason I decided to train it was the god-gifted +4 triple crossbow.

Okay so, after playing trunk and running into multiple shadow traps... they're really not that bad early on unless you're super squishy and don't have a way to teleport out of the monster group that tends to form a ring around you. In fact, shadow traps often actually served to make me look for anot...

⋅ Don't read this thread. ⋅ It's too easy to get killed while Berserk, don't use it! ⋅ Always wear an amulet of stasis in dangerous encounters- you never know when you might be at risk of paralysis! ⋅ Haste is a terrible effect, you're better off taking your ...

Can portals messages be changed to read, "You hear the slow rusting of a drain to the southeast?" It works for the blaring wails of alarm traps. Early on, I usually don't have a scroll of mapping to find a portal entrance. Eh, in a way I'd like this just to make finding them easier, but t...

I run a lot of VpEns into the ground, but the early game is really pretty easy. Focus completely on hexes, get maybe 2 Ice magic or so. Use EH a ton, if it doesn't work on the first cast, do it again until it works. Use confuse a lot. You'll still get your stabs in, albeit while dancing all over th...

So lately I've got it in my head that I want to try to make a successful vampire enchanter of Makhleb. Now, I don't consider myself to be a good player, but usually I can at least get to lair before I get my face torn off by a badly-timed eight-headed hydra. That said, I've had TERRIBLE luck working...

I'd honestly prefer if Necromutation wasn't removed. it might not be excellent for everything, so, if it's so bad, just change it. No need to take our only ability that lets us become Liches! That or give us a Lich species. Pls. Pretty pls.

I haven't tried the trunk out so I haven't seen any, but by the sounds of it, these traps can be pretty much fatal for low-level characters if they're appearing on the early floors. While a level four MiGl could handle a sudden swarm of enemies around them easily, a level four MuNe would probably be...

why not something like "Static Form" or "Breeze Form" which gives a speed boost, EV, resistances, allows for passwall-style travel, and gives the player the ability to smite-target blink next to an enemy (like Dithmenos's Shadowstep)? Yeah, heres the problem, people mention a lv...

I really like the -idea- of this god, but its implementation seems like more of an annoyance than anything else. I'd think that, instead of incurring penance for going up, just chop a hunk of piety away and excommunicate/penance at 0 piety. Maybe that's a horrid idea, but as it looks right now, the ...

Just spitballing here, but given that someone mentioned an escape spell and another mentioned the lack of an 'air' spell, why not something like "Static Form" or "Breeze Form" which gives a speed boost, EV, resistances, allows for passwall-style travel, and gives the player the a...
