Yay, my favorite thread , where I defend that descriptions of chunks should be reworded because describing the meat as "gross because it is raw" implies it can somehow be cooked, was included. Never asked for a cooking skill; figured the change would simply stop others from thinking there ...

Uni-directional walls that can't be attacked through? Cuts off the retreat...

Another solution would be to replace potions of flight with scrolls of flight since there are no species who cannot read scrolls. Replace with scrolls of blinking, so at least you get some sort of "reward" for entering the vault, then deciding to turn around because a scroll of blinking i...

Loosers.

Could I throw gold at monsters to distract them?

The goal of all monsters in the dungeon is to prevent you from taking the Orb of Zot; keeping that priority in mind, no.

Play a Ghoul.

My love for you is ticking clock.

Why not a translations that teleports parts of your target away from itself? I could see that.

What about, as a Gozaggian, whenever you first enter a floor that would qualify to have shops on it, Gozag offers to let him place shops (yes {$cost} / no). Then generate the floor. If there are no more qualifying floors, then the player can generate them at his own feet. Viable floors would be trac...

No, but it should be an acquirable mutation in the game if you're not a carnivore.

Whatever is the fastest weapon that hits easily, requiring the least amount of skill.

Whip?

What about allowing monsters into the actual square of the singularity in addition to blinking around it? Then the monster can choose to blink out or throw a large rock, etc.

Was the trim gold or black?

No, but their users generate egos.

acvar wrote:All these responses and nobody has mentioned the best weapon in the game: a vinestalker's bite attack!

Apparently, this is best paired with a speed-branded weapon to maximize use.

From reading posts on this forum, the response would be: No, axes are not the best melee weapon. Axes are less effective against single enemies than an equivalent non-axe weapon, and getting yourself into a "surrounded" scenario where an axe would be more effective than an alternate weapon...

Why is that bad?

Start playing as an FE and can't find the cool ball of fire spell till SURPRISE, ZOT.

You're just lucky none of your enemies were evoking the Obi Wand.

The OP is talking about the mutation state before and after getting to Mnoleg's domain, not OoF, which is a separate comment. Makes the majority of the four preceding posts irrelevant. Regarding the mutations gained, cited, only one was from Mnoleg. The rest were from demons that can be encountered...

mattlistener wrote:Also Statue Form, Dragon Form, and being a Gargoyle.

These also have the added bonus of being sources of large AC values (Gargoyle initially and over time), which would fit with the "large single source of AC = GDR source" concept.

They're imported from the Shoals and Swamp branches.

9 of those mutations were caused by mutagenic glow I don't know how to interpret the intense self-delusion you sometimes see in CIP/YASD/YAVP posts. Ressentiment is powerful I guess.

To pair with wielded bread. #MaraReasons

It's a good thing Crawl doesn't have underground smoke inhalation mechanics.

I always play fireman because fun.

Heck, why not just simplify it so GDR is just tied to total AC? Because in the current system, GDR is tied to sources of large values of AC. Currently, you may gain AC from a variety of sources (spells, mutations, armour, aux armour, jewelery), but it is only body armour that gives GDR. In the prop...

Brown Dragon
Breath Attack: The brown note; causes stamina-resisted paralysis; increased hunger state increases resistance; MR and rPois offer no protection. Formicid (no ears) and Undead are immune.
Armour: Swamp Dragon armour with slightly more AC, -Hunger, and --Stealth.

Lear's Hauberk.

I'm still trying to get Shield of the Gong with a Qaz-ite.

Did you look at any of the several other proposed Gods of Portals and Doors on the Dev Wiki?

What if, instead of being based on armour, GDR was based on "amount of AC from a single source". For every X of AC an armour (or Ring of Robustness, for example) supplies, you get X amount of GDR. This would make it so that high sources of AC provide GDR, but low sources of AC (+2 Gloves) ...

As you progress through DCSS, you learn that punishments are actually features.

So what are we cooking today? Felids? I heard felids. We're cooking felids?

After posting a really big dump, it helps to master the art of wiping.

Also, does all regeneration increase hunger? I thought it does, but I believe the increased hunger rate only takes place while the high rate of healing is active. If you are at full HP, the hunger rate is gone. At least, that's how it works (I believe) for all items. With the mutation, I don't thin...

I edited, and reversed the way I explained things. As always, I could be wrong. Apparently "manual scumming" may actually exist for Ashenzari, and probably can be viewed as a benefit, considering how rare manuals are and how unlikely one is to train an incorrect skill to a high (read usefu...

Rupert gets lonely.

Sorry if this was addressed on page 1, but are the super-dark floor tiles really 100% necessary? In several branches, especially Depths, I find that I can't really see where the floor ends and the black, unexplored tiles begin. Or maybe I'm the only one who misses the brighter floor tiles? I think ...

But it's less silly than literally making demigod into the opposite of what demigod is supposed to be, which is a much more common suggestion. Which only comes up (more than twice) because they're named "Demigod", which is a situation that can either be ignored or resolved through bikeshe...

Alternately, THE RELEASE PLANS PAGE of the development wiki shows items that might not have been addressed, and (used to) including tiles that have to be created. Check the latest release number.

Is that a goal to achieve?

Hirsch I would see the humor in this thread.
