HP is unreasonably high for a Felid. It's only that high because of a slight increase from rugged brown scales mutation, at XL27 with 27 fighting and no mutations felid gets 149HP. Yes, it really is just that bad. Some of the game's highlights included stabs on the following things: Khufu Mnoleg Asm...

Things I can do: gather 15 runes as a Felid. Clear a full Zig as a Felid.

Things I cannot do ever: win at crawl.

You'll get the lajatangs online faster and they're very effective, probably the optimal choice. I would angle for the plutonium sword though for cool points.

Very nice body armour to have so early on a tengu.

mission accomplished! (I'd probably get those spells instead of Discord, Disjunction etc., then) I enjoy both those spells, underrated IMO. Pan lord floors I could read scroll of vulnerability and with two casts have every pan lord in LOS turned neutral and fighting each other. Which still wasn't a...

Heh, if that was your goal you probably shouldn't have completed 11 Zigs

The goal was to do 13 zigs then win though

http://crawl.xtahua.com/crawl/morgue/Elystan/morgue-Elystan-20160825-131130.txt I can never pick up a character the next die without killing it, even one as OP as this. Tabbed through a bunch of orbs of fire/unique panlords etc, braindead though, forgot anything could be a threat. Holy floor, forgot...

Mana shield isn't so bad once you get the second fact and you get MP regen. Though I suppose that's less unique now there's a n amulet and a fixedart that both do the same thing.

Deep Elf Earth Elementalist was the easiest thing I ever played. I'd just two-shot eveythingI saw until shatter, then I'd two-shot my entire LOS.

You people need to stop being obsessed with berserkers.

Oh I see, orb run.

That's not an angel that's a seraph. I see them at a rate of around one per holy pan floor, usually (I.e. unlikely to meet one in a 15 rune game). What was itwas doing on D:13?

Shatter is fine for a 3 rune game. I've had it online before grabbing a first rune (admittedly on DE). Also had a tengu with FS stupidly early. It's super fun to do those sorts of chars, but they do tend to have the weakness of going splat in short order if anything survives long enough to attack th...

Good gear in general, horrible body armour

Sar wrote:+8 because that's what the other two demon blade unrandarts do

well, except katana isn't a demon blade and Leech is... wait, Leech is now +8?

Bloodbane is a demon blade

I'm with chequers - I can't think of any siutation where knowing the effect of the abyssal rune would change my decisions anyway. Why don't we want to encourage ninja-ing though? Unless ninjaing usually means "randomly teleporting until something good happens" - I honestly don't know, I p...

I'm fine with just removing a bunch of attack spells, too. Or the Conjurations school, for that matter. It's a school for attack spells in a game where like 90% of what magic is used for is attacking stuff; it'd be like having a Melee Weapon skill and having all melee attacks be based on half Melee...

Black suns have a way of ruining my day

Gonna get my wizmode on

Agh it creates remove curse in stacks of 12 and I had to remap my hash key to enter after my enter key fell off so I can't drop them to pray individually. I was totally about to prove either myself or all of you wrong but now I can't.

That simply can't be the case. I've played a statistically significant number of ashenzarites (hundreds at least) and every time without fail sacrificing individual scrolls makes me miss out on curse jewellery and sacrificing stacks gives me a roughly even distribution of scrolls.

I remember that getting the favoured curse scrolls by sacrifice was vital for the development of the entire char. Unfortunately, this was very dependent on luck. And I remember two games in which I sacrificed > 10 scrolls per game and didn't get the curse scroll I wanted! Willing to bet that it was...

For goodness sake... I've played a ton of Ashenzarites. To start with, I'd keep a stack of say, 5 remove curse scrolls in my inventory, and turn off autopickup and pray over new ones I found. This always ended up with me being short on curse jewellery. It would be super frustrating, I'd get tones of...

Long blades I had a manual and found two potions of experience in depths. The vampiric dblade was outperforming vampiric draining in terms of healing me, possibly because of the absurd amount of slaying I had. I could tab through nearly anything that wasn't immune to negative energy without losing H...

15 runes. Did a zig after the 14th. Level 24 I was going to quit the thing after using my entire stack of HW potions surviving a nasty draconian floor, but I accidentally went downstairs.

Had a quick blade and manual of short blades stashed on a kiku altar ready for a pain brand for when I emerged from tomb. Getting constricted next to mennas really wasn't part of the plan though.

Stupid Mennas. It would have been okay but I was being constricted and failed like 4-5 attempts to get back up the stairs. The really moronic thing here is that I never checked out the free trove. I can be 100% certain it would have given me gauntlets of war boots of the assassin. Dungeon Crawl Ston...

Continuing my infatuation with Kiku: Should probably be dead already.

1. Poison arrow is my go-to single-target attack spell. Mostly because it has very good range and it poisons poison-resistant enemies. I'd take poison arrow over iron shot any day and probably LCS too. It's okay against demons, very good against anything without rPois, and I usually learn dispel und...

Speaking of which now I've achieved trollichdom I'm going to give GhVM^Kiku a whirl with a hope to branch into ice magic as poison loses efficacy.

I like automatic training. Makes me feel more like I've 'earned' the skills - you could have called it a conduct my first few times playing crawl but I quickly realised I was making things hard for myself and 'cheat' by turning skills up (*) or more rarely off (-). So the stealth was just what the g...

Well I did a couple of floors of snake in the PDA before I went and grabbed the SDA and I was definitely taking less damage, but the level of poision that a ritualist with a couple of black mambas can lay on you is quite something and more than once I had to quaff curing to survive after finishing a...

Wondering if there's any point at which a troll might want to consider M&F. Let's say a +1 whip of electrocution drops on D:1.

Yeah, I probably should be using it more, I just don't think of it terribly often when I'm in trouble.

But then you don't get to be a trollich

One thing I notice there is you haven't been casting vampiric draining much. I mean you're past the point of it being much of an issue now, but early on I was finding it incredibly useful not only for the healing but when you just need to hit something. Particularly relevant when you've got a pack o...

Well it was sort of the hat of pondering that killed me. I ran into a hasted firestorming lcsing shattering ghost in Gehenna.

Well the rest of dungeon did have some goodies for me. I picked up a randart +2 TLA with rElec.

Haven't had to retreat much but on the rare occasions I do b...
