As far as species go, I have my heart set on doing this project with a Naga. Mainly for personal reasons, although they are reasonably strong once they get to that level. Of course a properly leveled Ds would be best but I can't bring myself to farm the right mutations.

Okay, interesting. I can see giving up one of the 2 necromancy panic buttons; giving up both just feels so dangerous. I was also thinking that Darkness can be replaced by Cloak of the Thief, which would cost an equipment slot and -2 slaying but infinite evokable fog is so good that maybe I would wan...

Thanks, this is such great food for thought! Speaking of Ring of Flames, how would you rate that? Is it worth the slots, or would I be better off with item-based enhancers? I think based on the conversation so far my spell list would be: - Aura of Abjuration - Borgnjor's Revivification - Controlled ...

Thanks for the tips! I had the same thoughts about dragon form, glad I'm not alone :) I had considered bvc but wasn't sure that I would ever be able to spare the turns to cast it. It is a truly excellent spell, though. Regarding ozocobu's for oofs - my understanding was that firestorm's irresistible...

So then taking out Cause Fear and Sublimation I could pick up Dispersal - maybe that could be useful to reduce melee pressure once some space has been cleared by Tornado, Shatter, and Fire Storm? Or I could additionally drop Butterflies to get Dragon Form for emergency UC melee? Maybe Statue Form in...

Oh man, you are right about how the fear would work. I was hoping they would just stand there and be very, very afraid but I guess that's too much to ask. Discord would be quite satisfying in that niche but dropping Cause Fear, Butterflies, and Sublimation leaves me at 7 slots free, 1 short :cry:

I'm currently thinking: - Borg's - Cause Fear (mainly for spider floors) - CBlink - Darkness - DDoor - Fire Storm - Ignition - Nmut - Shatter - Sublimation - Butterflies - Tornado But I am not sure whether it would be better to replace one of either Borgs, DDoor, or Ignition with Disjunction. One th...

I've come back to some more serious crawling recently and I am going to resume hunting my white whale of a mega zig character once 0.25 is done. I think a lot of the changes from 0.24 to 0.25 are very interesting and a lot of them have impacts in the zig stage of the game. Specifically: - Glaciate r...

Hi Guys, I have a couple of wins under my belt across a mix of species/god combos, but I have never had a true zig runner. I have had a couple of 15-rune GrFi characters with Shatter that were relatively comfortable in most of a zig, but I never felt like taking a chance and going for multiple zigs....

Thanks, everyone! This is now a YAVP and not a CiP situation :) Couldn't have done it without you guys, and now it's time for some more straightforward builds that I have wanted to try. Top part pf the final char dump below. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.19-a0-1081-g506d7b7 (webtiles) character...

Yeah I feel like I must be doing something wrong with the rods of shadows, or maybe my Evo is not high enough at 15, and needs to be closer to 20? Sometimes the summon is really good, like a yaktaur pack or a group of deep trolls, but sometimes it's like one elf 3 tiles away from me (inspiration: &q...

Thanks for all your help, everyone! So, this guy made some progress lately. There were a few close calls in V:5 but Vaults is cleared, along with Slime. I actually got really lucky with the Abyss, got sent there by a spriggan with a distortion weapon and landed right next to a really easy rune vault...

Update: Cleared Spider and V1-4, Invo+Evo at 15, buckler online with Shields at 4, UC and Fighting getting close to 15 as well. I'm a bit worried about my lack of resists, specifically rF; all I have for that is a ring of fire for emergencies. So far it hasn't mattered much since this dude is dealin...

Thanks, guys! i got lucky and found a Book of the Earth a few steps after entering Swamp. Statue Form came online just in time to help take down Lerny and secure the rune. Next stop: get Shields up, key skills to 15, and take out Spider and V1-4. Do I need anything special to handle the other branch...

Thanks for the quick reply! I derped on Charms, thinking I was training it for dmsl intsead of rmsl, checked the success rate when it hit 10 and then realized the mistake. For the Rod of Shadows plan, would I stick with Ice Form in between rod uses?

Hi Everyone, This is my first post so apologies if I'm violating any forum norms, I tried to follow best practices but please point out any mistakes. I've been playing crawl for a couple of years. I've had a couple of 15-rune wins with some very forgiving builds on cszo, but I consider myself basica...
