Nobody; file size and res limit are too low. Fight the system.

It works better in narrow areas than it does in wide-open areas, but basically you see a scary thing, spew out some butterflies, and then you runrunrun while the butterflies flutter around where you just were. Most monsters kill one butterfly per turn, and they generally only need to have to kill t...

Yup. Antimagic can be considered a defensive brand while in melee range of anything with spells - it may take longer to killdudes, but you're a lot less likely to get blasted while killdudesing.

Hey. In fact, DD is so op... Ascension on third try. THanks to an executioner axe (found in hall of blades) and a GDA (found in Bailey, with a CPA and a big shield of protection) I wonder if it is reliable in Extended Exec axes are great for extended. Vorpal could work, but the best axe brands for ...

"Form" and "worm" don't rhyme. Get the hell out of here.

Congrats on the 15 runer!

I love Ash in extended, even without clarity. Clarity is just icing on the already delicious cake. Granted, Ash is a better option when you're not already a firestorm machine.

(P.S. It's MuWz, not MuWi)

So basically either I'm really lucky and find one of desired items or I'm forced to worship Ash if I don't want to suffer a painful YASD? Hmm not fun... Ps. Witam kuniqs ;) I wouldn't say you're forced into worshipping Ash, but yes, extended comes with a gear/resist check if you don't want to press...

You can't, unless you worship Ashenzari or wear Orange Crystal Plate Armour, Autumn Katana or (I think) amulet of Four Winds. I guess if you're really lucky you'd found the faerie dragon armour with +Clarity? BTW. Cześć Furman :) Ah yeah, thanks for reminding me. Four Winds is definitely still in t...

Clarity isn't gone - just the base amulet. You can still get Clar from Ash, autumn katana, mutations, and probably a couple other sources. At this point the only benefit Sif offers you is channeling. You could easily switch to Ash, get ***, and profit. If you feel like you still need channeling, you...

I had to get my cursed toe operated on the other day.

It was torment.

No fungus though.

I'm sure this is an interesting playthrough and all but your pronunciation makes it unwatchable for me. In what language is "chei" pronounced like "cheese"?

Guess I'm not in the target demo.

You have a quickblade, a blowgun, and utility needles. Equip blowgun, fire needles of sleeping until she's asleep, stab with quickblade, profit. Then run away if necessary. If you had ensorcelled hibernation memorized, that'd save you a needle or two and would work just as well because Psyche has lo...

Take over op! Claim your prize! The revolution begins now!

+Tele has been dumb silly junk anyway ever since cTele was removed. That's not right. Even without cTele a ring of teleportation is one of the most popular items for speedruns. Speedrunners will just have to get more creative. Isn't that kind of their thing? In fact, given that speedruns are intend...

Subtle. Very subtle.

You'd also more heavily favor Str for crossbow builds. Str weighting has been removed! http://s-z.org/neil/git/?p=crawl.git;a=commit;h=d466a242f698402d4be0e97ab43c1f935f514b55 :o I had no idea.

If I pull the string again, will you spit out any stock phrases other than "current DCSS is not well designed"?

Your message log doesn't say anything about it failing. And that wasn't the hit that killed you...?

Edit: Derp, you meant the active ability. Yeah, that's weird.

This method of classification sounds essentially like the list of existing backgrounds, with the exception of the way you've split up ranged. I don't think there's really a huge difference in the way the game plays between slings, xbows, and bows, fwiw; I guess xbow has some early ammo problems, bu...

I was once trapped with no escape items and no hope of actually being able to kill what had me cornered. I quaffed and read all my unidentified stuff, and the last thing was an unidentified wand. Figuring teleportation was last chance I zapped myself with it. *POOF* Instant porcupine. Resigned to m...

This is why I always carry ambrosia until I'm nicely packed with curing... Also, anyone know why I just reached ** with Ashenzari despite amulet of faith + 8 dungeon floors?

Er... would skipping a level not technically invalidate your completion of that Zig?

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 Yeah, a wand of paralysis will neutralize roughly half the doom hounds you come across...

Octopode, octopode, octopode. Nothing is as much fun as an octopode with 30 AC due to 5 protection rings. Conversely, nothing is less fun than an Octopode who uses Call Merchant 8 times and gets only 1 jewelry shop, containing no decent rings . Not my finest game to be sure, but I like to think tha...

Congrats! My first win was a MiFi too, back in 0.12. It's a great combo for learning the flow of the dungeon.

2) What resists does one need to go to Pandemonium? I know you're playing 0.17 but be aware that the rMut amulet is gone in trunk, which may affect your future playthroughs. I believe rMut as a property is now only available on unrands like Hat of the Alchemist. Also, rCorr is helpful but not reall...

Famous last words.

The redesigned ufetubi in trunk are cuter. The eyes are definitely not on stalks. Not as fat, but they certainly still look like cute, silly penguins (pengwings).

As far as I know, it's just XL-based now. (Ash also helps, but that's it.) I've noticed, anecdotally, on my own Tr and Og playthroughs that I seem to fall through shafts more often but it's probably unrelated to species or int. It's not unrelated to species: species with bad exp apt (such as troll ...

Just out of curiosity, does low Int somehow reduce the chance of spotting traps? This guy has been shafted so many times, it's getting a bit silly. The double-shafting to D:13 just outside the Lair entrance was particularly fun, landing in LOS of a centaur warrior. Oh and the Tele did work, thankfu...

This was a really promising one. I found some decent gear, learned my standard utility spells, kicked the hell out of Tomb and Abyss... So I figured I'd give the rest of extended a try.

I'd use it, joke or not.

Dharmy wrote:Worship Ash.

Seriously, Ash removes so much of the tedium of making space in your inventory, picking something up, and equipping it only to drop it 5 seconds later because it's absolute garbage (~90% of artefacts). I wish more gods provided this ability.

This has the same issue as mimics. It's now technically optimal to walk by every space methodically. Clearly swamp worms need to be able to leap up out of the water at you, so you don't have to actually touch the tile where they start. A one-shot blink close whenever they become aware of you would ...

Just started a trunk game and faced several of these worms and lived to tell the tale.

I see this as a net positive, actually, for eliminating the frustration of hunting those damn things down. Haven't they always kinda been pushovers?
