Re: Casting animate skeleton as a vampire should give blood.

Remove blood system altogether IMO, pretty much the only meaningful differentiations between it and traditional food are either obnoxious without adding meaningful depth (stuff like this) or lead to degenerate gameplay (leaving popcorn alive as blood pinatas for endgame). Vp as a whole honestly need...

Re: Turn Clubs Into Staves

I'm a fan of Hellcrawl's solution of merging Staves and M&F into one composite skill.

Re: [New Species] Werewolf!

Transformation is incredibly complicated mechanically but effectively just seems to be a weaker Berserk. Would be interested in seeing a lot of the cruft paired down in favor of a more simplified implementation (active for claws + damage and health boost or similar, maybe scale with skill levels if ...

Re: Ease of use improvements needed in .21

I don't see how removing food/hunger could be a net win for the game. At that point the only thing pushing the player forward would be the OOD timer. http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Scumming Why not just nerf scumming tactics instead? Food's entirely ineffective as a clock for any competent player who ...

Re: New Race: Draugr

Don't think undead status is a compelling enough reason to add another race that's basically human lite. Would rather just see rot removed from Gh instead.

Re: octopode recommendation and question

Ice beasts + mushrooms should keep you going for a while, at least through most of (if not all of) Lair. Rock the buckler & get shields to 4, then pump some fighting. Throw Icicle is alright but not really worth it imo, this char should have no problems w/ killdudes for the most part and you can...

Re: Background attributes

Also as others wrote, it would make some combos almost unplayable. I wouldn't even try playing MiWz as Wz or TrFE with Fire Storm in 3 runes game in the new crawl. How high of a priority should the balance of challenge combos actually be, though? If you're not allowed to make changes because it'd m...

Re: Riposte: the post

But if riposte is justifiable at all, it's not justifiable on the tactical level, i.e. with respect to decisions about how to approach a given encounter. It's justifiable on the strategic level, i.e. with respect to decisions about which items to use or which stats/skills to develop. You can't just...

Re: Riposte: the post

I know there are arguments against (b) too, but I'd like to see them before I agree that riposte is just bad. [*]Riposte does not significantly change your tactics, and where it does it overlaps heavily with cleave, which has the same effect of letting you damage a bunch of stuff that's surrounding...

Would rather just make stabbing work w/ other weapon types (maybe change the name to ambush or something, idk) and remove SB altogether.

Re: Goblin (Race)

Could raise apts to +4 and remove all negatives other than the stats and they'd still be lousy.

Throwing on MR--, rN-, -20% MP, and blurry vision is just silly. (Especially the MP, why limit people's Invocations if you're pushing the race that hard in that direction?)

Re: Let Ds spirit shield be toggleable or otherwise change i

I'd feel like the extra mana regen from ranks 2 and 3 would offset any issues caused by Guardian Spirit, though I'll admit I haven't played nearly enough Ds to have any meaningful input on the later stages of this mut in practice. That being said, why bother with Ds if you're not willing to work wit...
