Can someone please re-read this thread, and suggest how much of this still applies to trunk? i get the feeling it does less damage now, or the OP oversold it. it seems like solid, OK damage, but if IMB knocks an enemy into a wall, that seems to do more. edit: i was wrong! maybe it only feels that w...

The food clock in brogue is fun and good. It pays for you to save time where possible, to leap forth into the somewhat-unknown, so that you can do time-consuming tricks later when something's too tough for you. Adventure! (ITT: a few folks saying food clocks are bad, because they've never seen a goo...

will also never be a challenge because competent players will just wait until they can do it safely

and yet there are many transporter vaults nowadays. i guess these vaults have become popular because most players are not competent, and are eager to tempt fate?

they could also be "mut-prone", with pemanent Evolve, or they get double effect from mut pots, etc

Actual field report - greatsword of protection has been very helpful on my EE, it just randomly kills chaff (and boosts ac by 7!) while I dump my mana on the bigger threats.

Remember,

Jiyva, Lugonu and sometimes Beogh don't show up until well after you've seen most or all of the other gods' altars. Should they provide some partial protection against the wrath of other gods?

I am relieved to read in your log that it was a mutation potion. When you told me about how much evolving you'd been doing, I was worried a bug was giving you sludge elf mutations. Congrats on *another* imp win, loopi!

Yes.

A yiufcrawl player asked me to allow bearkins to wield scythes one handed. People are actually trying to wield these things because they look like real items.

The scythe in question was branded and everything!

Heretic - Believes in weird gods that don't exist on the surface. Armed only with "Faith and a staff/club, they wander into dungeons to die.

Current monk could have 2 skill in UC and all weapons, because training montage.

The acid/corrosion page is extremely wrong. Probably best to just scrap the whole article and replace it with the learndb entry , which could also be a little wrong but is at least far better. May cause you to receive a level of the debuff "Corr". When something attempts to corrode you, it...

Without too many spoilers Also, any good guides Two things. Crawl is all about tactical roguelike combat, and spoilers / no spoilers isn't really a thing. If you want to make it a thing just for yourself, go ahead, but anywhere you see crawl discussed, you're going to run into unlabeled "spoil...

Well there's that guy who used apocalypse in every fight, and won with all skills drained to 0 for most of the game. More people should do that.

One trouble with GNoll is that crawl had GNomes in the past, and those are still on the scoreboards.

Hey Tavern. A pile of small updates have gone by and we're now at version 1.5.4! I haven't said much about the last few versions, because I haven't been able to complete any of the bigger changes I'm working on, but there's been enough small changes that it's time to compile a new binary release! do...

Zing!

Yep, you've successfully pestered me into bringing back the occasional ghost. :P Still no major progress on the known bearkin bug, but I did finally cross off the "make deep elves vewwy quiet" to-do that was hanging on the readme! So that means the "elf or elf like" pantheon of s...

What if scales weren't hardcoded - the current effects they have treated as an ego. Steam scales would be Light Scales with the steam ego, and deep trolls could drop Light Scales with the regen ego.

Pretty fun read, actually. Half way through it I forgot that it was a years-old thread and had to figure out how I'd gotten there.

Is it safe to take three after a meal?

Gonna post some plutonian feedback now that I've had a chance to play a PlAE down to D:15. ⋅ I seemed to go straight from white contam to dark red contam without any other contam levels in between. Not sure if this is intended, but it made it impossible to tell where I was on the contam c...

I spun up a VM with Mint 18.1 64-bit, installed git, cloned the repo at https://github.com/Hellmonk/hellcrawl.git, ran git submodule update --init, installed the dependencies listed in crawl-ref/install.txt under the Debian section, compiled with make TILES=y PCH=y -j8, and took a char to D:2.

Potions of mutation now give the curemut effect, followed by mut, followed by benemut.

Perhaps they need ti come up when a player searches for cure mutation.

Half-assed a changelog from commit messages, hope it's useful to someone:

https://github.com/Hellmonk/hellcrawl/b ... LLCRAWL.md

Naturally, it will usually be out of date!

You'll get a warning any time you try to travel in a way that would cause you to skip a branch and miss out.

The canonical hellcrawl order is D->orc->sbranch->V->slime->U->pan->Z->hell

Version 1.5.0 is up! And now you can play it on a new server . (located in north america) http://www.gnollcrawl.tk/ Of course it's still available on CPO as well! It will have version 1.5 sometime tomorrowish. http://i.imgur.com/tJNWui6.png - No armour. - Random mutations every 3 levels, from a bear...

Dithmenos conduct should be changed even ignoring draconians. It's a restriction based purely on flavor, not gameplay considerations, and it just kind of annoying and limiting for no reason. (Why shouldn't a FE be able to follow Dith?) For what it's worth, I know we're just forks and you're hoping ...

Congratulations on being the first imp winner, and (to my knowledge) the first winner with any of Yiufcrawl's races! :mrgreen: Here's your morgue with pretty Haskell syntax highlighting to make it a bit easier to read (imo), and pink all over. http://dpaste.com/1CC2XY1 Trunk is 0.20, and yiufcrawl i...

http://i.imgur.com/Ikh66qL.png I've been pushing new minor versions to CPO and the release downloads over the week, but nothing big enough to be worth announcing in each version.

Thump Jump

You take a deep breath, and you start to jump.
Ru's mighty power propels your rump!
Before you know it, you land with a thump!
All your new friends have lumps 'n bumps.

I like the flavor on these skeletons, but I think they might need a mechanics overhaul. Reaping mostly just remixes existing things, borrowing damage shaving from DD and combat skill boost from Oka. I'd rather see it steer intentionally away from existing territory: * Instead of a skill boost (oka) ...

Because this species doesn't have a home yet, with SteelNeuron's permission skeletons have been adopted into Yiuf's Home! (adopted for how long? dunno! the newgame menu only has room for so many species on it :mrgreen:) You can now play online at https://crawl.project357.org/ by selecting "Yiuf...

Another possible way to slow down any "jump": Jump (which may use walls as it does now now, but does not need to) only moves you one space, but you are flying during that movement (mostly for flavour and feel) and attack as Whirlwind where applicable. Then you choose one of the three squar...

Good catch, the assassin recommendation was an oversight. An imp assassin focusing on the Throwing skill could be a great character, but the imp's shouting and clumsiness with subtle knives makes assassin an odd, experts-only choice. Added to the manual: Imps Imps are tiny warlike demons incapable o...

What's with the NULL, btw? From what I could tell, it has absolutely no defining characteristics. Is it meant to be a joke? http://i.imgur.com/coK8oU0.png There's pretty much nothing to say about Nulls. ;) (in hindsight, maybe I should have called them Elms) Is this intended? It doesn't seem especi...

That spider unique is always carrying a staff of poison, which makes her always resistant to poison, but x-v doesn't show that she resists poison.

Version 1.3 is here with two new species for your enjoyment. I have extensively tested Plutonian, but it's a race that could very easily have unforeseen issues. Cheers to PleasingFungus for identifying a bug that I caused with BAD MATH, and of course for writing the "impish insults" functi...

A fantastically wonderful person played 3 rune games with both imp and orc, and gave me some valuable feedback. The tldr summary: nerfs incoming for imp and LO, but on the plus side player imp teleportitis will become truly random (and less annoying). If I'm really motivated I'll turn it into a more...

For Imp, Long Blades aptitude. Yeah so, imps are good at LB, Mace, and Trident, to nudge players in a direction where they might end up finding and using demon weapons or something. Well in the original version, they were best with Polearms and less good with the others. Presumably, this is a kindn...

Things that are "LOS range" remain LOS range, and thus go up.

To my knowledge, there isn't anything that's explicitly range 7 and would not go up to 8 on a Ba, but there are plenty of things I don't know.

you said you took Trolls down a notch, so I guess that's fine? Minor "personal preference" changes: More ogre hp, less troll hp, Formicids can't fall in shafts by accident, Items don't block doorways, Berserkers start with no weapons, and no weapon skill. Thanks for the question, I'll mak...
