Maybe call Wallportation Wallflower? Sticking to a wall, etc. As for the piety system: if it punishes going downstairs, that should only be for the first time you go to a level. Any time thereafter shouldn't punish, if only because that would make going to Orc/Elf/back to Lair/Branches etc more tedi...

I really like this, and I like the alterations that take away confusing the player, as I didn't quite like those about your initial suggestion. This could be a really useful stabber god, or just plain useful in general for smart play. Obviously caters to more skilled players but I quite like it. Goo...

Maxwell's does not have *Rage.
-Tele and *Rage are the most dangerous things in the whole game, both prevent you from reading a scroll of blinking.

*Rage is easily controlled. -Tele cannot be controlled. Ergo -Tele is worse ergo Maxwell's Plate is worse. QED.

not. short.

You know I went looking this up, and it turns out you're right. Napoleon was actually around 5' 6"/5' 7" making him only a couple inches shorter than me, and taller than the average Frenchman at the time. Whaddya know.

How is this worse than Maxwell's?

That's not kink shaming, that's calling out something gross and unfunny.

What's the difference between this and merfolk?

One time, tavern poster Cheibrodos tabbed so hard that he fractured his pinky finger.

Well I hope it was good for the keyboard, at least.

Petition for this item to be the subject of a new sprint, on account of its too awesome not to be in the game but being in the main game would be ridiculously OP, to be blunt.

Not to mention you don't even have to use Chei.

Yeah I'd take this, I'd love this, and I'd ride it to victory because if you die while wearing this you don't deserve to win.

It's for this very reason that I never ever use tab for anything. It's in a weird spot for my hand so it hurts to try to use that key.

I really like the flavor, but I'm with jwood on this: affecting the UI like that is awful and horrible and I'd never want to use this god for that reason alone, especially not being able to read such vital information as your HP and MP.

Seconded. When I was getting into the game the notion of noise wasn't something I could even tell was a thing, let alone know how to control. It took a long time and lurking here to finally get it.

ok, so I'm playing FFV for the first time and seriously: how is this not just a bad version of FFIV? i mean, it's not the worst FF I've ever played by any means (looking at you, Mystic Quest) but uggggghhhhh i'd so much rather be playing through IV again just got through the part where you meet Cid...

It doesn't save them in %/App Data/Roaming/Crawl/Morgue?

Sourceforge not as good as Github?

Also, since we're talking about compiling: is there some kind of super easy guide to compiling for people who don't get how coding works?

But you did get away, and go home with the win, yeah? That is some nasty luck though, it landing you right on an alarm trap. I like the strategy. Dith's Shadow Stepping is pretty fun to use when you get it rolling like that. (Re the consumables: you'd know this a lot better than I but my feeling is ...

Wait what do you mean The Longest Journey is finished? Didn't it end with Dreamfall? THERE'S A SEQUEL TO DREAMFALL?!

Yeah, that's what I tried, managed to kill the kobold before going down. Maybe if I hadn't wasted a couple of turns trying to get corona to stick to the kobold and instead ran straight for the other corridor... still slim chance. Yup. Trick with early game Enchanter(and really every other character...

I've always found it weird how people use that FF10 scene as an example of how bad the voice acting is. He's supposed to be laughing in a really fake, forced way; it isn't like Baten Kaitos, where every line legitimately was read by randoms from the street. Well the thing is the voice acting in X i...

Final Fantasy X is a pretty good game, I'll agree. I just had to post that for the funny irony though. Can you blame me?

Why does the unique get non-gender-specific pronouns but the player doesn't. >_> You misread, I think - "they" refers to the summoned charioteers, not the unique. Ah. Yeah, took another look, you're right. Whoops. Well in that case it seems only the unique has the bat-like AI, the others ...

Enchanter, I presume? Back away out to the corridor of trees and try to take them on one at a time. Keep using Corona; that can be really handy to score hits that early in the game.

Why does the unique get non-gender-specific pronouns but the player doesn't. >_> Anyway, I both like and hate the idea of this unique. A unique that plays keepaway will be both frustrating but able to be dealt with. I feel like this unique should always spawn with a very strong bow--long or short, d...

+18 crystal plate armor, jeebus criminy! Well done with this one. What an RNG, yeah?

Might and Magic series. That is the actual RPGs, not the pretends to be M&M Heroes series. You can get the first six games for real cheap on GOG. Old RPGs, but good ones. I'm playing 4/5 right now. (They combine into one game called World of Xeen.) Also if you like story stuff, there's the old Q...

I'd drop the fast metabolism, immunity to silence, magic hooves, and poor with melee. I'd also put the dodge and fighting apts at 0 or +1, remember this is supposed to be easy like a minotaur, except with spells. -4 apts to weapon skills and armor is fine. Does it get unfitting armor? It'd fit with...

For the supposed optimal player, magic backgrounds are supposedly better because they can avoid dying in situations that would be an unavoidable death for a melee background. For actual players who die in places after D1, it seems pretty obvious that melee backgrounds are better, especially if you ...

I start a new game, find a +5 ring of slaying on D:1, and then promptly run into a teleport trap that sends me directly into the clouds of fire in one corner of the map.

Thanking is an economy? What can you buy with your thanks? Is there a store? A place I can exchange them for goods and services? Oooh, like maybe some free artefacts in my current game? Because that'd be pretty rad.

This sounds like making something simple more complicated, i.e. a very bad idea.

Nevermind the mechanics, I'm well aware of those. I mean flavor wise. They're all full of demons, right?

I rather agree that was pretty bullshit of the game. You dug the passage, so no freezing clouds should've appeared. I'd be really pissed if that happened to me. My condolences.
