I'm all up for skill checks and dice rolls, but this is utterly ridiculous: The crimson imp is too close now for your liking. A crimson imp is nearby! _The crimson imp hits you. You hit the crimson imp. The crimson imp is moderately wounded. The crimson imp hits you. _The crimson imp hits you but d...

That and they also never dangled any artefacts in front of my nose while singing "Nananana, you're never gonna get this".

I don't know why the final boss of gauntlet is the minotaur.

Indeed, how about utilising a new bunch of uniques as the Gauntlet keepers?
Also, enough with the constant removal!

Mastering the gauntlet should leave you satisfied with a sense of accomplishment and having earned some cool loot. the intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for manually exploring the labyrinth Do you mean as opposed to the Gauntlet, which you can just auto-explore? ...

I liked the old labyrinth, since finding your way around it was outside of the usual o-explore scope. And while I mostly enjoy the monster mixes and the really spot-on challenge level, I hate seeing items I will not get to pick up. It just makes me mad. Mastering the gauntlet should leave you satisf...

Change the flavour text of Blink Frogs and Spiny frogs to "The Spiny Frog croaks" when they die! :lol:

His harpooning is not making sense IMO. First he nets you, then frees you from the net by yanking you out of the net next to him. I get it is easier to harpoon a netted rune-quester, but it feels wrong to me. Especially since the first time this happened I wasted 3 blinks to get out of the nets. Wha...

All right!

Yeah, if you feel ok losing 2 AC, the minor effect of more ripostes is good. I had kind of assumed that there were 2 enchant armour scrolls somewhere if he's in extended, maybe that's a bad assumption, 2 AC is usually better than either the dex or the riposte, I would never read an EA scroll on the...

Fencers gloves +0 or Gloves of dex +2 ?
Fencers gloves increase chance of long blade ripostes, says the wiki.
I currently like using holy long blades in extended so there is no reason to go with the Dex gloves, right?

Is it better to have loved and become disappointed than to have never loved at all?
Any trove I don't get into will have the best loot ever, so I'm totally ok with parting with important items or the connection to my god for some useless bric-a-brac!

The ring "Qogeoxet" {+Blink Str+3 Int+6 Dex+8}
Jeesus R. Puffenstuff!

Some powerful artefacts in trunks nowadays:

Code:: the +5 pair of gloves of the Eight Beggars (worn) {rElec MR+ Int+8 Slay-4}

Let's add harpooning to Hellions!

Teleportitis yanked me 8 spaces in sight of Hellion Island. Since acquiring it from a Caco could not get rid of it with all of the three Mut potions I found afterwards. :roll: Your lightning spire completely resists. You are suddenly yanked towards some nearby monsters! Your surroundings suddenly se...

An item emerges from the Abyss! Perhaps it is an incitement to worship... or even as an insult?
Found a torn book. Found a corrupted altar of Lugonu.

Dude, this is partially identified artefact from a ghost vault. It is just guaranteed to be Fire.

Turns out I was the Fool!

Whaddaya know!

The ring "Afool" {Fire} -seriously?

Thanks for the explanations all. Since many code changes are defended by saying things are made easier to understand and more unified it seems not nearly all of the games mechanics are anywhere near that goal.

Then get rid of it. Spider Nest is hard enough as is. As is Hell.

The only brand from the resistance tables that does not spawn as weapon ego. Could be fun!

Question: Will I become petrified in Statue Form by Calcifying Dust?

A wight should not be wearing a robe of positive energy. :mrgreen:

You can't eat the Kraken! It's stir-fried calamari!

I enjoy this kind of trap generally, but a timer going off for a Pyramid or Sewers upon landing in the new level is a bit of a bummer.

Hot take: Gnolls make every race look difficult by comparison.

1) anything with Star in its name
2) Entropy Weaver

That's a randart weapon so it wouldn't have been generated cursed. Are you sure it was cursed? Maybe you just mistook the bright white of artifact. Was the game played online? You could watch the tty to see what happened My mind might have played tricks on me, but I'll be damnationed if I wouldn't ...

Thanks for the helpful comments, I think it was just lying around in E3. l - the +10 zealot's sword {holy, *Rage rN+ EV+3} (You found it on level 3 of the Elven Halls) It has been blessed by the Shining One to cause great damage to the undead and demons. It affects your evasion (+3). It protects you...

4 years playing this game and I didn't know you couldn't curse holy weapons! Couldn't find info on that in the wiki either but reproduced it with another weapon.
It must have been lucky and found that weapon in a cursed state. Too bad!

With a holy weapon equipped, fully bound, I cast Necromutation, which unequipped the weapon but also uncursed it. When I want to recurse it, I get the message "You don't have any cursable items." But the weapon is not cursed, and my skills unfortunately reflect that fact. :( I tried switch...

I never encounter them without at least a (Large) Shield of Reflection so it would actually be easier to kill them. They can still take lots of damage and Malmutate. I'd say only Elder Mummies and maybe Curse Toes are as terrifying in the end-game.

If it is gray, it goes away! Instead of that sweet randart leather armour your Spriggan cannot use, NOTHING is spawned, sparing the player the mental anguish of questioning his race pick and cursing the gods for not spawning that sweet loot for the time you play the Tengu Summoner? Counterpoint: mig...

Recently I tried animating the remains of a shapeshifter, only to find out that lazy corpse would not even rise from the the dungeon floor! :? I looked for info on this in the wiki, but I couldn't find anything so I will just ask it here. Please feel free to remove this topic. Is it possible this is...

To be specific about 13 more effective int points, how I came up with that number is: Archmagi is 50% more spellpower for all spells. Spellpower scales directly with Int, so 50% more int is 50% more spellpower, so the Archmagi ego is the equivalent of 50% more int (for spellpower). Current (with +8...

99% of the time i would ditch folly and never look back.. While Mr-- sucks, you have mr+++++ right now so you can probably afford it (mr+++ is sufficient), and archmagi is equal to +50% int for spell power So essentially you are looking at 13 more effective points of int from folly, 1 more ac, and ...

When I play Gozag, I sometimes bribe Zot twice just to be safe. And the right combination of Potion Petition might just cost you another 8-9 hundred... I have gone into Zot 3 or 4 with about 14K and come out with 1.5K.

Wasn't there a druid spell called Crawling Doom in D&D?

That's pretty "no true scotsman". Anybody who plays a game of crawl is a crawl player. Those who play "only" twenty minutes and stop are just as much players as you are. Well, when I was a rookie, I didn't know Panlords from pancakes. I only knew to be wary of jackals and yaks f...

Keep in mind that the vast majority of Crawl players have never won, and many Crawl players have never seized a rune of Zot. I think this is a bit of a controversial statement. If a person has played less than 10 games is he really a Crawl player? My first twenty games lasted a few minutes and that...

Clouds disappear when you close the door or lose sight of them. Good thing enemies can't use this tactic.
If you don't plan to reopen your shop, why put a chain around it?

No loot is ever worth any risk :lol: , but I'd say it's not. Managed to do fine the first time I was there, but 3 healing potions had to be quaffed. Second time I was overconfident, and I think one of the hierophants cast a spell which reflected some of the damage I dealt back on me, which caused my...

So that's how the dwarves died out in DC.

So you'd put on ring k for the ring of protection +5? You need to scroll down in the second code widget to see it. I still get hit occasionally by Vault Guards, Giants, Tentacled Monstrosities and other nasties.
