In my latest playthroughs I noticed that Xom often reacts to teleportation scrolls. At least 4 times Xom acted immediately after teleportation, teleporting character back, and at least twice the character got confused by Xom right after reading the scroll. Is this just a coincidence, or a mechanic d...

One-handed polearms already have a stab multiplier.

Air elementals in trunk can cast Vortex, which acts like short-lived tornado. It can push player above lava. Do I understand correctly that with enough luck air elemental can kill player instantly?

15-rune win, zig completed, no shield used.

Is there any reason for scarabs not to be flying? They spawn as hostile mobs in locations without deep water or lava (Tomb and one Spider rune vault). So, this limitation doesn't affect them as hostile mobs. They also can be made with player's spell Infestation. Again, usually this limitation doesn'...

TRJ doesn't spawn jellies when killed by Grand Finale.

Magic already provides so many options that it's difficult to enhance it without going completely OP. Also, linear power increases aren't relevant. Yredelemnul and Heplialqana provide the biggest bonus a mage could ask for, i. e. permanent meatshields to let you stay away from melee. Latter can even...

Why? Unlike CK and AK, Be is showcased in tutorial.
I agree that slime yogi should be a thing.

Moths of wrath have strong synergy with jumping spiders. It seems like chance to trigger their specials depends on damage dealt. Berserk monsters hit 1.5 times harder and 1.5 times faster, so someone who easily deals with spiders in melee may eventually discover that raging jumping spider is more da...

I think game shouldn't warn the player that they are confused. Conf shouldn't be visible at all, or at least until character starts stumbling around. If Conf stays, it shouldn't go away immediately after confusion have expired naturally. Actions shouldn't be prevented, but either always fail or have...

FR: call this class shahids.

Remove common non-consumable items from shops. It's not like anybody ever bought a +0 dagger.

What if Gnolls simply started with LV3, but were limited to LV25? After all, they become adult at age of 5 or so and live up to 30.

What you call "speed effects" are not a good thing to the extent they already exist. The game would be better and certainly cleaner if it were more straightforwardly turn-based, which is to say actions are taken according to a transparent, easy to understand schedule like what exists in b...

By default, all spells take 1 aut to cast. Can playing with that add any variability to the game? Some ideas: ⋅ Mutations. Something in the lines of "your hulking tongue affects articulation, making your spellcasting slower" or " your delicate and small hands make your spel...

So, basically, Dithmenos, but shadow mimic gets brands and enchantments, and its spells are random.

As stated in title. Switching gods seems to be impractical decision until late game (and in some cases, ever - such as with Jiyva), but it might be a powerful option if it only cost piety. ⋅ Divine wraith seems to be a mechanic that prevents players from some forms of scumming, such as jo...

Potion petition itself requires 400$ to activate, but individual potion sets may go as high as 800$. It may generate potion sets player can't afford, and they are given as options. I think it can even generate three expensive sets and lock the game dead. bool gozag_potion_petition() { CrawlV...

CBL is essentially a cheap nuke, so self-damage and requirement for rare resitance are totally justified.

Trunk release that gave all jewelery +27 stats.
And another one, that let zombies keep their abilities and magic.

Dissolution is unique jelly priest that sometimes spawns in slime pits. There are two problems with it. First, by the time it's met, it isn't challenging anymore. Dissolution is acid-flavored monster in acid-flavored branch, and player encounters it when they are supposed to be able to take on TRJ....

If it is your first Gozag game, get ready for surprise when you use Bribe Branch. Bribed monsters often turn hostile unprovoked.

Infusion and death channel would benefit from this mechanic as well.
And "Stop singing" ability should be back. It's not like song of slaying needed extra nerf.

Natural monsters may not leave a corspe. Why does that happen? I guess it was done in attempt to balance necromancy before zombies were temporary, but now it just adds a layer of weird quantum randomness to low-level spells and characters with high hunger costs (like, there may or may not be a corps...

Instead of rCorrosion, the acid dragon could give scales with Archmagi. The weight would be OK for spellcasters, and I think that it's a more exciting option than an ego you can find on simple (nonart) rings. Why wear other scales, then? how is it op? currently you can get a similar, if not stronge...

Does anybody even use destruction, if summoned demons last longer and often bring in their own spells? Also, why Makhleb needs buffing at all? Last time I checked, ze was one of the strongest gods throughout the game. I don't actually get what Makhleb is supposed to be the god *of.* Makhleb is god o...

If demigods are changed to golems, people would still be free to propose adding demigods with innate special powers or any other new and exotic species. Crawl has golems already. It's called Gr. Flavor-wise, merging demigods and tengu is the best solution, because it's their mythological niche. But...

Wind blast and force lance attempt to push its target away. It's strange that they move away target, but not the caster. Force lance is the only escape spell in Conjurers' book - wouldn't it be more reliable if it pushed both target and caster in opposite directions? Also, it's strange that there ne...

I agree. "Pure" demigods heavily overlap with other demigod species, such as minotaurs and centaurs. https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dcss:brainstorm:species:demigod#rename_demigods_to_titans_or_asuras Also, there are tengu. They aren't that much against serving as game states - f...

What is wrong with you?

Poison is a wonderful mechanic that doesn't live to its full potential. It is deadly in early dungeon, and it stops being relevant once player finds source of poison resistance. After that it essentially turns into cantrip. This is a major source of power creep - if spiders were able to actually poi...

Just remove wands already. They create tons of inventory clutter. ... The rest are overly similar to existing conjuration/hex spells except consumable, and Crawl already has a zillion consumables. Then just don't collect them. "Press x to win" builds such as NaBe don't need wands anyway, ...

I changed it because, in a big mass of allies and enemies, it was very easy to lose track of the red hearts. The green circle is not perfect, obviously, because some monsters have big round tiles that obscure it, but I think it's easier to see the vast majority of the time. For instance: http://i.i...

So, basically, GrBe with 40% more HP.

Gozag's inability to use zombies/skeletons This is peanuts. Actually big problem about Gozag is almost entire absence of dragon scales and mutagenic chunks.
