nethack actually does this now so it's probably a bad idea

(and speaking as someone who's played nethack 3.6.0, it's a hilariously terrible idea the way they do it)

play a tetm because you can be a goddamn flying spider holy shit

Spoiler: show

Late-game melees tend to drag on for many many turns. Casting regeneration before a fight can give you a significant hitpoint buffer, and it stacks with itself up to a certain point. It's also relatively easy to cast, as a level 3 Charms/Necro spell, and can be used alongside some other handy spells...

now that joseph has stolen wiglaf's stupid hat, make him actually have a stupid hat that he drops and you can wear

playable bear race. not bearpeople or anything, just literally a bear

that's about it

Worshipping Kikubaaqudgha is a good choice because he lets you summon corpses which you can butcher to extend your berserk duration while you run to staircases.

Abyss is the best place to get your third rune because it has neqoxecs. You can dance with them to acquire lots of mutations, which decreases the chances that you'll get surprised by an unwanted mutation from an Orb of Fire when you get to Zot.

let killer klowns steal runes of zot and teleport away with them. as usual, you need at least 3 runes to leave zot

also let orb guardians steal the orb and teleport back to zot:5 with it so you have to run back down there. that way orbrun spawns will actually matter

i would second the notion that not giving any prompts at all for the highly lethal caclifying dust is bizarre given that the game warns you for every other cloud there is, but apparently that makes me bad at the game

Pretty sure that's Byakuren Hijiri, who is far from my first choice of touhous to cast as Yred but still somehow fitting.

Whoever's been doing new sprites for stuff (merfolk and sun demons especially) keep it up, you're amazing.

Echoing the above post, it's great to see new monsters in earlygame again.

I had this happen to me a while back: http://i.imgur.com/JkooGtM.png

Was it degenerate of me to immediately use a scroll of blinking to go as far west as I could?

Pretty sure I've gotten explosions before with a really wimpy kobold who decided to CBlink past the entirety of Gehenna:7 while hasted (do not try at home). I don't remember them being particularly harmful, but I was waiting out the contam by 5ing at the Vestibule.

My main annoyance with it is that many of my characters could afford to just ignore chunks and small food and survive on just rations after a point with basically zero risk. Now that death cobs sap hunger, the threat of running out of food is very real at the very last part of the game, so I have to...

as someone who does not use OOD, i find it hilarious that people are complaining about how it works when the ones in spider can turn 135 degrees to smack you in the face

I'unno, I think it needs 25 more hands and a scythe in each one for maximum lethality

I went ahead and pulled trunk to see if that had been reverted recently; it appears it has not, as I was able to safely rebrand and unwield 12 weapons of distortion in wizard mode.

tried to skip lair for points, ran out of resources and got jugged while trying to flee from the fourth giant depths mob in a row

Count me in please.

Reduce the frequency of Okawaru's weapon+armor gifts, but let him offer you your choice of 3 things at once similar to how Ru offers you 3 sacrifices at a time. This means there'll still be trash gifts, but fewer disappointments and more player agency. Failing that, either auto-ID or remove distorti...

I wasn't aware that "beast" was a family of creatures within Crawl; I just found it more weird that Ice Beasts+Ice Form don't get full poison immunity since the descriptions (and water-treading behavior) indicate they're non-organic masses of ice.

Cocytus:8 would just be Santa's factory, what's wrong with being able to go there

You'd get to kill lots of elves and get cool toys, it'd be basically Elf:3 but more festive

Why not just make them automatically go extinct after 50 (or whatever) kills without asking the players to make a choice between some cheap experience and not having to put up with more popcorn? I thought one of the design goals of this game was to avoid encouraging tedium. Also, for the record, Net...

⋅ Don't wield a weapon if you can't uncurse it and it would end your game if it is cursed. This doesn't apply to branded weapons wielded by a monster, which are never cursed. "Short blade of venom" - safe. "Enchanted short blade" - not safe. This isn't true! I've found...

Yeah. If you're gonna go for the abyssal rune, make sure to banish a Nemelex worshipper first so the place gets flooded with decks too.

Randart properties all identify on equip, but it's prudent to use ID scrolls on them anyway because of distortion weapons and the "causes contamination on unequip" property. If you have an amulet of resist mutation and it's not a weapon you're probably safe just putting them on though.

It encourages keeping track of redundant wands of haste/tele/heal wounds, instead of just dumping spares after they've run out of charges. This proposal also unnecessarily punishes some under-equipped early-game characters who want attack wands to deal with difficult monsters. I've never heard anyon...

magic wands checks for AC, doesnt it? Magic wands actually do appear to respect AC; at the very least my level 1 wizard mode character with +80 scale mail was often able to survive blasting himself with a wand of fire, often taking 0 damage. It'd also explain why Magic Dart sometimes does 0 damage ...

There is a wand that shoots bolts for physical damage, it's called a crossbow

Qazlal is a joke god, don't worship him. All the noise he makes will draw tons of monsters on later floors that will inevitably overwhelm you, and his powers are made obsolete by mid-level Conjurations or a branded bow. Likewise, Disc of Storms is a joke item that hurts you just as much as monsters ...
