If we're bikeshedding, why not just say they have Ant Strength 2 Arms + Ant Strength is also a perfectly workable solution I should think. An ant person doesnt necessarily need to have 6 limbs. Wait. That's the part of formicid lore that confuses people. Let's recap. They're burrowing ant people (b...

The gist of this proposal is very simple. Formicids are currently flavored as having four arms in their description and lore text. Despite having these four arms as currently described, they can't do many things people seem to expect of four arms, ie wearing four rings, wearing two sets of gloves, w...

Path of exile

1. The actual reason why I started to play crawl was that the skills you train depend on the actions you take. This reminded my of my all time favourite Dungeon Master and if I would create a game it would definitely rely on this. I find it a bit sad, that this concept was softened (or removed at a...

Proposed fox special ability : smelling bad. The ability to smell worse than other races will set foxes apart from existing races when webtiles finally implements the scratch and sniff functionality everyone has been waiting so hotly for

I've heard about a lot of the game design issues that TOME has, and am wondering if it's worth picking it up on the cheap to give it a try. What are the thoughts on TOME? Is it worth trying out?

Hey, sorry I went dark on you guys. Had some field work spring up out of nowhere and forgot to post on here. It's possible that I'll have more fieldwork this weekend and I'd feel bad about slowing the tournament down for any teammates, so I think I should sit this one out. Maybe next time.

Count me in! I am also teamless at the moment, if anyone wants a teammate, let me know!

if i can throw my hat into the gendersexual-bikeshed arena (the worst possible of all arenas) could we please be consistent and either genderize the demon lords again (what sexes? i don't care) or make all demons neuter? i prefer the latter but w/e i want consistency more than anything e: adding ba...

I'm also curious as to why these changes were made, given that from what I remembered the overwhelming majority of the crawl uniques that had a gender were female anyways, and this further polarizes that. Nope, the opposite. Majority male both before and after the change. Studies have shown that ma...

Anyway, all I wanted to say is that Ijyb change is particularly strange to me. Not just because he's one of the oldest monsters in the line (at least as far as I know), but also because another goblin/hobgoblin early game unique was added recently, Robin, who was female from the inception. So now w...

Grand Finale does not work in accordance with the fighting game build-up meters I know. You usually unlock special abilities when the meter gets filled up completely, and retain access to them until the meter is drained completely. Really? Unless you're thinking of a very different kind of meter th...

As far as I can tell, all the removed wands have been replaced by fireball in terms of frequency on the ground. But hey, I wanted a louder solution that does less damage for my problems =p Actually, this isn't accurate, I don't think. Lightning and Draining should be far more common on average stat...

21 would actually be the 2nd lowest starting stats for a species. (Ghoul has 18) The average starting stat is 24. Sustab and Gourmand are both there to keep a couple mutations from being totally game ruining. (Stat death & Starving) But honestly, if the concept seems fun, and it's just a number...

At first glance I thought this species was quite weak, but on second glance, their aptitudes are only slightly worse than humans, and in return they get good health and mana, a strong mutation that stands a very good chance of getting you a good set of mutations (assuming it doesnt go away like othe...

I held a tarantula once. It was fuzzy. I also touched a dog once. It was also fuzzy. Tarantullas and dogs are the same animal.

I concur. You still probably want to wear one there, making this change sort of weird as that seems like the only reason youd ever wear one for the most part. If making this not a goto ring in abyss was the aim, I would have probably have just removed this ring and replaced it with the ring of You G...

Remove evokable teleportation Teleportation is great in consumable form (and still remains pretty common), but unlimited teleportation is more problematic and encourages things like using it repeatedly and with no real cost in various places (especially the Abyss, for example). The ring remains wit...

Extended aside, Trog helps you much much more early game on most chars, so this one is a very clear Trog for me

I'm shaky on this, but from what I recall, the way miscasts work is depending on percentage you have a chance for miscasts, with higher level miscasts being less likely for low level spells and for 'better colors' (yellow vs red fail %). But, you still have a chance to get a higher level miscast eve...

This isn't moving the design in a better direction. Your new suggestion is that the player memorize a boatload of forms added for this one god that are wildly inconsistent with each other. 1) Liatrix randomly polymorphs enemies in your vicinity. Unlike with a normal polymorph, it would have to be a ...

Ah, that's way less bad than what I thought it was. I guess you still want a wand of para or something to deal with them, but at least now you can't lose a level to them outright if your damage wasn't high enough

Is that how they've been changed to work? Or is that a proposed fix? If it's a proposed fix, why not remove them entirely because they're just a pack of shittier reapers now?

Yeah, as several others have noted, this god has a number of problems as written. It is fairly thouroughly useless for any character that isn't UC, and if you want forms and UC you could just learn the spells instead on most characters. Even if the good forms were made more accessible, the randomnes...

My first win was a GrEE^Dith that wore platemail, but I still killed things with LRD and ironshot for most of the game and had Haste and a few other goodies online. You can probably get those two earth spells up at least in heavy armor with minimal difficulty.

It occured to me recently that the minotaur Dodging apt is actually quite good, but I'm finding difficulty figuring out whether or not there is actually a time you'd ever want to go EV minotaur, as your casting aptitudes are still all hot garbage. What would be a good time to go EV/medium armor on a...

In my last beogh game, I found out the hard way that throwing while confused can throw in any direction and doesn't prompt you if allies are nearby That's pretty ugly.
