I found out while playing a bow-using High Elf Hunter that if you cast apportation on items on the same tile as an aquatic monster that is currently underwater, then the monster automatically resurfaces. Great for dealing with alligators and sea snakes without putting your character at risk by walki...

One thing to keep in mind about the rats is that they appear from their own summoning spell. So, while the difference in stats is marginal to the player as an opponent, they do make a difference as allies. Also, an enemy vampire's summon small mammals has access to the green and orange rats; whereas...

Welp, got banished into Abyss, and promptly died. How does a wizard survive in there? You don't, unless you're lucky. Prevention is the best strategy. So, remember what banished you and take care to not let it happen again in your next session. The awesome thing about Wizards is that unless you blu...

Right now magic dart dmg is starting to become negligible, enemies get less confused on mephtic clouds. Conjure flame won't stop yaks approaching me. It's actually a good thing when a monster steps into your conjured flames. You can kill nearly everything in lair with it. If you plan things careful...

Hrrm, I would suggest you cTele away, wait for the demons to disappear, then try to trick him into melee range using the wall, and using the unholy creation scroll and imp backup, ganking it (summon before he's in melee range). If you left potions at the start of the ice caves, you'll want speed, a...

Crawl_03.jpg OK, I'm mentally at a loss. I was planning to bum rush this frost giant and surround it with a pack of scorpions; however, it's packing a rod of demonology, which makes an already dangerous encounter into one that I personally don't think I have any hope of surviving. I do have a ring ...

●Heavy Armour Mutation Resistance : While a modest mage can spam summons to block line of sight while they use spells like airstrike, or fling fire/ice storms to destroy mutation-inducing monsters, even with mutation-resistance and anti-magic, a heavy armour melee fighter is nearly guaranteed to rec...

If you're starting as an OgWz, I think you should put a stronger emphasis on conjure flame's success rate, along with summon imp and mephitic cloud. Those spells are strong enough to kill most threats if used properly. Summon imp is good because crimson imps are difficult to hit, so you can use them...

Humans not only should receive a bonus nutrition from eating rats, but they should be able to pick them up off the floor of the dungeon and eat them every time they make an unarmed attack.

"You deftly snatch the grey rat off the floor and gobble it up. Yum!"

One thing I thought about after playing some Draconian and Demonspawn characters is a unique spellbook that gives the player a random spell so they have one from each spell level until they reach level 6 or 7. The reason for this is because giving the player a randart spellbook like the ones found i...

Not going up and down stairs isn't necessarily a weakness; it means that if there is a pack, there is no separating them off upstairs and fighting one at a time. Obviously it would be a problem if -no- monsters could follow up/down stairs, but I think there is a nice balance right now. It is a weak...

One thing that would make the crypt a lot more exciting would be to change all of the regular stairways into trapdoors. One of the major weaknesses of the zombies, besides their slow movement speed, is that they can't go up and down stairs. This would make things much more dangerous for spellcasters...

Some questions for those who did this particular volcano vault: can the lindwurm reach me from its location, or is it trapped on an island? Also, since this is the second volcano I have ever visited, is this vault timed so that I lose loot? Am I going to find myself immersed within a fire cloud saun...

4) I'm trying to branch into summoning and fire magic. Should I turn off conjurations for now? Are you sure you want to branch into fire rather than ice magic? You have access to "Freezing Cloud", which is pretty much the ultimate kite spell for killing most monsters if you use it along w...

You have a book of party tricks and an amulet of clarity? Learn Allistar's Intoxication, and train your skills so you can cast it effectively! That spell will help you easily murder just about anything that has a brain, though it won't last too long for high hit dice creatures like the draconians in...

If you're using your transformations as your main source of damage, sif is a pretty good choice. Her channeling can't be beat, and you won't be tempted to go Vehumet if you're not conjurations reliant. I also think Vehumet is out of the question unless I decide to become a masochist and grind the a...

I have a fairly decent Pale Draconian Transmuter of Sif Muna, though I'm considering whether or not I should abandon Sif Muna now that I have most of the spells I absolutely want. At first, the only reason I chose Sif Muna was to increase my chances for obtaining spells like summon butterflies, disp...
