I want to group spells in a different order than I acquired them. I could "forget" most of the spells I know and re-memorize them in the desired order. But there has to be a better way! Yes?

Works, not skilled enough with Linux to be comfortable with terminal. Maybe someday, before I die. I locked it to launcher.

in Terninal:

echo 'deb https://crawl.develz.org/debian crawl 0.18' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

wget https://crawl.develz.org/debian/pubkey -O - | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install crawl

sudo apt-get install crawl-tiles

Just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my x201 ThinkPad. Downloaded DCSS, but not getting graphic tiles, only console. I ran lspci -k to define the version of my graphics driver: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Lenovo Core Proces...

My suggestion is more about fun and macabre than uber or nethack. Most of the animal skin armor suggestions I mentioned where player species (macabre). Presently, armor changes the coloration appearance of your player character a little. I am suggesting these armors would drastically change your ove...

Was thinking, Robe of Vines is something like wearing the skin of a Vine Stalker. So: Ogre skin armor adds strength. Cursed Howler Monkey Hide (complete with a very dashing tail) +noise and running ego. Gargoyle's wings, angel's wings (extra damage from demonic weapons), demon wings (extra damage fr...

I like the new features on the maps. Howler monkeys have not been the cause of my death yet, so I like them too. I found a +3 Warriors Mirror and cautiously examined it, never having seen one before. I thought it might decapitate me, not that all warriors are brainless.. But, anyways, could not tell...

What is bikeshedding?

Do breathe weapon accuracy improve with throwing skill?

So, after a fight with a pile of orcs and their are many bodies all over, I do auto-explore and that will pick up all the stackable things I carry?

I have not tried Auto-explore.

I have a suggestion: push this button and your character chases after all stackable items on the level that are already in your inventory. Example - activate button and you go chasing after all the ammunitions, foods, scrolls, potions or gold that your character knows about if you FIND for that item...

I like the new level maps and floor graphics. I entered Lair one and it looked like a cave. I checked my location more than one - yes, Lair one. You sure?

The new maps keep surprising me, thank you.

Your turn - what do you appreciate?

Can berserk or can not berserk?

Wendigo have a base strength of 7, intelligence of 11 and Dexterity of 7 (before background modifiers) and normal base magic points. Starting skills Incompatible body armour is replaced with an animal skin or robe. Helmets are replaced with hats. Meat rations replace bread rations. Any Armour skill ...

Sar wrote:So, um, why are they a "caster race" when most of their caster apts are deep in the negatives and their base Int is much lower than their base Str? Because of +10% MP?

What would be balanced considering their boulder throwing, horns, teeth, claws and undead? Switch STR and INT base?

I was considering suggesting Wendigo diet be limitied to meat only but thought that might be more coding than was worth it. And, making them as hungry as trolls... but, esspecially as spell casters, could they survive starvation?

The problem with large races is that high HP is a big boon and being able to throw large rocks and wield GSC is a big boon, so you have to balance that somehow. You can't make "Deep Elves, but with +2 HP", that just won't work. I agree. Being able to throw large rocks, one of the most eff...

If I play a species that can not wear armor, one of more enhanced armors are often on each level. If I play a character that can wear armor, I am lucky to see anything more than what is useless to me. :) It is a plot, the Gods are conspiring against us! Oh, and the same goes for weapons. How many ar...

OK, I'll write it out.

I looked online for mythological giant sorcerers. Native Americans have many legends that fit the description. Wendigo are the most well known. They are evil, cannibalistic, ever hungry, demon shapechanger spirits. They usually have the horns of an elk, the claws of a bear and the teeth of a wolf (m...

ion frigate: yes, my idea was simple to imagine, harder to express and harder yet to implement. Some parts of the idea might get used, others not. OK with me if none of it gets used or even remembered. I know it will fade from my mind soon enough.

Ashenzari's helm of all seeing How is this different from helms of sInv? Passive mapping item Scry artifact (evocable) Bug Eyed Helmet googles? What do you mean by this? Monster detection like antennae? Boots of the Assassin already do this. Name of a helmet because "Minion's helmet" migh...

Hmm, put a skin on, without turning it into armor and have a chance of being seen as friendly by that kind of monster? Put on that kind of armor and that kind of monster goes berserk? IE Fire dragon armor.

Extend the number of items or artifacts that gives you mutation ability like breath weapon, or boots with talons on them or gloves with claws, a helmet with horns or teeth, shaggy fur armor - rAcid, Ashenzari's helm of all seeing or Jiyva's robe of ... some mutation. Boots or gloves of slicing, LOL!...

I like Gargoyles, "GR", because they start out immune to poison, immune to rotting, do not breath - can not drown, resistant to petrification, resistant to negative energy, take half damage to torment and they have unlimited fly at 14th level. Oh and naked their AC could easily be better t...

I assume octopodes are not played much because of their limitations. Imagine using other animals as temporary shields/armor. That might be enough to get more octopodes off the porch (might as well stay on the porch if you can not run with the big dogs). Am I right that octopodes are rarely played?

I had a random thought while beating on an octopose, octopodes shouid (mechanically) be able to use more than one shield. AND any constricted enemies (with their special defences) should also act as shields. In effect, a constricted fire dragon would be able to bite, claw and breathe on the octopode...

Description of Current Release states: "Confusion will never cause characters to stumble into deep water/lava." But, monsters are still stumbling into lava. Not that I am complaining or unhappy about it. Now, I know, there is a subtle distinction between characters and monsters but new thi...

Contamination sometimes causes mutation. Maybe, mutation should sometimes cause contamination. Would that fall into the over-thinking or over-engineering bin?

At the bottom of the (http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Current_release) webpage, under the "Interface" section, is this sentence: "The 'a'bility command shows the menu by default; to get the old behaviour, use the option "ability_menu = false"." a'bility I really like the gr...

Just saying level seven of Gehanna would be the perfect place to have a friendly neighborhood hangout in the Pits of Hell, serving exquisite liquid refreshments and magical potions. Just don't call it Callahan's Crosstime Saloon. I would expect it to have many spider nests about. And, of course, it ...

Xom and Jiyva mutate the character. I am suggesting that when you find a way to mutate and get a bad mutation,THEN, that god of bad mutations would bestow their blessings upon you like Ashenzari bestows their blessings for your using cursed items.

I am suggesting something like what Ashenzari does for cursed items and Cheibriados for speed: make bad mutations somehow beneficial. You somehow get or already have a bad mutation of "this" rank, then you get a boost to one of your stats. If you get a mutation of "that" rank, th...

It turned out to be a wand of slowing, but would an artifact weapon that is "silver" when unidentified do extra damage to jellies? Can't use a wand as a weapon, but I am still wondering.

Hmm, OK, more testing required.

Sometimes, a weapon of chaos polymorphs. I often use axes because they might hit all adjacent monsters. I understand the axe would polymorph everything it hits that turn, that makes sense. But, each monster polymorphed should be polymorph randomly. I think, presently, chaotic axes that are polymorph...

I like chaos brand because of all the possibilities - Completely heal or clone one turn then put them to sleep the next turn?! Chaos brand is a roller coaster brand. I like the biggest axe my melee character can use with a shield. Troll (regenerate) or Formian (4 arms)? Decisions, decisions. I like ...

I did read spoilers, but perhaps not enough of them or ones that were at the right level of detail. I could only stare at the list of every corpse in the game and what intrinsics you got for eating it for so long before I decided I'd rather play a monk and get them through leveling up instead. Is t...

I save scum... a lot. (I am not competing with the rest of the players just having fun exploring possibilities with the game.) It seems to me Demonspawn mutations are predefined. I watch when my DS is about to level and save the game. Usually, I forget to do that and die first. :) Replay by loading ...

LOL so I did! And, that after cross-referencing online spelling and game spelling. I have alibis somewhere... *searching through my cloak of many things*.

I was sneaking around corners with my wizard... well I was riding on their miniscule shoulder.. That's right, my spriggan wizard is the one that got this crazy idea to use an aralest. Yes, the one with humongous strength in all SIX muscles. No, I don't think it's crazy that someone with a strength o...
