Crying shame that death after all that hard work. I feel for you. Especially with a +20 CPA holy jeez.

One thing about Usk is that (while this win was melee+slings) they're not oriented around melee in the way, say, WJC is. They don't care how you do the damage. My first Usk win was a DEFE who blew things up with spells until they were paralysed then stabbed them with a rapier; Usk works well there ...

Grats on the 2 streak. Especially re some of what you said re Usk... I still haven't tried Usk in any playthroughs and need to give them a proper go.

Yes, a Minotaur Ice Elementalist... been trying really hard to keep spellcasters alive so I thought I'd try a beefy race and then train them to be nothing but a spellcaster. It's, uh, very ...

I come back to Crawl after many versions to try out some new things and discover this rad new spell called Frozen Ramparts. GOD I love using this spell. It so synergizes with retreating and/or luring things down a long hallway, it's sooo goooood.

The Royal Jelly isn't Jiyva. It's the only worshipper of Jiyva, unless the player chooses to also worship. Bit of a difference.

Still, I imagine TRJ is not far off from Jiyva's appearance. And that's a good look for Kiku.

And item identification too.

Bats. Bats bat bats. Replace everything with bats. Goblins? Bats. Jackals? More bats. Orcs? Orcbats. Make a new type of bat for every enemy. Use the same sprite over and over so people have a hard time telling what kind is which until the elemental ones start showing up. Hydras? Bats with many heads...

If you've never won before, just go to Zot and rack up a win. Trying for fifteen for your first win is not wise, imo. If you can find another source of rF equip that for Orbs of Fire, otherwise you should be set.

One time(this was either .12 or .13, probably .12) I stranded Iijyb on like D:1 because she just about wiped my SpEn before she got started. Eleven runes later I come back with the Orb, and Shatter, and proceed to hunt her down and Shatter her just for the sake of telling her to go to hell.

Lol:

I don't really see how it's a move in the wrong direction to take optional content(tomb) that wasn't hard, but was very tedious, and make it less tedious but much harder. It's purely optional like all of extended so if you think it's too dangerous for your character you can just not do it, and if y...

You can't expect reasoned debate most of the time. People don't want to debate with reason and logic. They want to win arguments, and show they're superior.

Yes, I was also initially skeptical about the cmut/mut -> mut change, but I am definitely sold on it now. Reduction in number of potions is great and while I don't really think the new effect is particularly good, it's not worse than old mutation + cmut, so it's clearly a good thing for the game on...

Alright, let's talk about the 0.20 problems from a point of an octopode player who wants to get 15 runes. *snip* [*]Although I always look for low turncount I never liked mutation gambling. I tried to keep my chars mutation free. Just guess what shoutitis or teleportitis means when you have 1 AC. N...

If you're playing Okawaru or Trog for their gifts you're doing it wrong.

I disagree that .20 is all that much harder. Maybe for some builds but it's been just fine to me. I've racked up two wins on it, one with a melee and one with a caster. But I do agree that the one-way stairs in the Tomb are a mistake. My build that was just creaming and lolling at the entire rest of...

Your advice was nice, edge. Tomb was my last rune too. Unfortunately I messed up and still died. Just got too surrounded no matter what I did. Too much HP loss from torment.

Alright, thanks ya'll. Will do.

So, Yiuf Crawl Dorf Fighter. Worshipping TSO so I can bless something. And here's where I stand.

BUT, of course, I'...

When I die because of stupid mistakes. In this case both strategic and tactical. Playing Yiuf Crawl I decided for the sake of easy gameplay to just take a Dorf Fighter and ride that to fifteen runes, since it wouldn't be any different than the last time. And I was right on track for it too. Got the ...

I'd never take it off if I equipped it, but the *Corrode has me questioning whether or not to wear it. It's like that one bad flaw.

A simple AI constantly winning at Crawl while I constantly splat makes me feel bad about myself.

More pieces of advice then :). Never train Armour to get rid of ER, there is just a single reason to train Armour - to get extra AC. Extra EV, spellcasting failure improvements, accuracy bonus are useful but just extra bonuses and should not affect your decision to train Armour. Yes, that glaive is...

Having Spiders Next probably would change my plans in Lair, being pure caster is very hard due to confusion and lots of fast monsters there, Ghost Moth is tricky for pure casters too. Gr is one of the best species for hybridization IMHO because it can have amazing AC in light armour. With that equi...

What's wrong with the current design? I feel like the invokable ability is the best solution you're going to find to this issue, and I certainly liked it a lot more than I did the old wand of healing gag.

My latest win I wandered around the Abyss for a solid real life hour before I finally found the rune. It was... tedious. Although I think I was cheating as a DD in +14 shadow dragon scales with an executioner's axe. I went in there for my third rune because I figured it'd be easier than, say, Vaults...

Oh, right, duh. Thanks. You'd think I'd know that by this point, having played since .13.

I'm going to have to try a spellcaster next, if only so I can have an actual spellcaster win that isn't a SpEn.

I'm rather surprised that with as much + stealth gear as you had, you still were only at 3 pips of stealth. I know the shadow dragon armor's 4 pips are really 3 to counter the inherent penalty and only 1 actual bonus, but then your two other pieces are the remaining two pips, and you didn't get eno...

It's from the September 2nd Dev Blog. I was attempting to make a silly.

"Eustachio the Eustachio Skeleton will no longer appear in anyone’s game."

Pour a drink out for the poor, maligned skelly that just wanted to be everyone's friend.

For the record Eresh wasn't even an issue with a melee of TSO. Angel buddies plus holy wrath eveningstar, with rN+++ meant she went down in a pretty big hurry. Helps, of course, to have Haste. Always haste.

This has made me want to use Nemelex for the first time ever in this game.

You going to be able to finish before hitting that?

Also if I might ask: how is it you're able to play in ASCII? I've tried to play things in ASCII before but I just can't parse the information properly; my eyesight won't let me.

So much meat all over the place. Fifty AC (without being Gr even!) is delicious. Well done. Perhaps I should try Gnoll Crawl. I mean it sounds like you basically just follow the same tactics the entire game.

You can check "I" screen, those ###.. show how much spell power you have (#) and can have (.). If there are no dots after #, then you have maxed spell power for that spell. Right, okay, that's why I misreading it. I thought it capped at six #s and didn't realize there wasn't a dot. Curse ...

Stone Arrow is capped at spell power 50, you have spell power about 59 in OP. Almost never train skills for something you don't have. You can find Maxwell's armour instead of Iron Shot, for example :) If nothing is left to train, train Fighting, it's always useful. Good to know, thanks. Thought I n...

Even when switching from +0 leather? Especially in +0 leather, the character can easily switch to +0 ring mail and still have all spells at 1%.
