Turn off everything except Dodging.

I was answering to your comment that "major proposals that add content should have a flavor rationale". The damage boost of CommanderC's proposal hasn't less flavour than the current stat boost. I do not understand what you are implying. I am simply outlining the rules that future proposa...

It's certainly not worse than the stat boost! Let us compare it directly to the boost so that the gameplay value of the two might be assessed. Movement malus is in AUT, stat bonus is per stat. Movement malus : Piety/20 + 2, up to 10. Stat bonus : Piety/10, up to 15. Action malus : up to 50%. Damage...

Successful major proposals are easy to understand or fix issues with the game. Is your proposal easy to understand?

Secondly, major proposals that add content should have a flavor rationale. That way they are not simply numbers.

Fixed percentage of nutrition.

Make it less strong somehow. Maybe make it a fixed number. The point of item destruction is to force players to only carry few consumables. Changing the fixed per item chance to a fixed number of item destroyed would encourage players to carry junk items to absorb the destruction and reduce the cha...

I edited the post at the top to make it short.

What's wrong with the suggestion? It lets you make bands of your own selection via micromanagement, or simply forbid normal orc follower conversion.

About Conservation: Semi-related: Does conservation protect food from harpies/spores? It does, although not infallibly. Partly redacted from the last paragraph: Conservation has no effect. [...] The trouble is that food destruction only occurs from two sources in the game, it's not that dangerous un...

Food Reform was interesting.

Food damage is capped at the amount of food you're carrying on your person, and it's really freaking stupid to be carrying a bunch of heavy crap that you don't actually need instead of some wands or something that could potentially actually be useful. Are you able to carry the items you want? If so...

It costs MP. 3 MP, to be precise. The same as Slow.

I built this resource for the topic on the Devour Food brand, and I thought I might split it off to request feedback about the hunger mechanic. Hunger comes from: The decrementation of satiation per turn via the following causes: [*] A Ring of Hunger increases this value by 3. [*] Being under the ef...

Making Bend Time exhaust you with an awesome range of "whack me please" hardly makes it worthwhile in anything but 1-on-1'ing a monster you can't take down without slowing it. For which you really ought to have enough MP to use it. And even then, exhausting kind of makes it look like a po...

Opening post updated.

I coded a patch some time ago that tweaked the piety costs of various skills, before Temporal Distortion was added, and moved them around. Bend Time cost 0 Piety and exhausted you, Step From Time cost less MP and Piety, and Slouch was a bit weaker and cheaper.

Here is a topic that tries to think of all the ways you get hungry: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5086 A harpy is an enemy that has a unique power. They are very rare mostly. These birdfolk appear in the Vaults, the Dungeon and in the Shoals only it is a common foe. It is a brand that eats 10% of your rat...

Break it up into two spells, one which affects the upper body (offensive) and one which affects the lower body (defensive). So, Finesse and Swiftness? Sure! I didn't say my ideas on this thread were good; just tossing out some that the OP didn't list. I am the opener, and I purposefully did not lis...

Cheibriados becomes less fun the more experienced you are at the game because you realize more the benefits you get from changing where you are. Couldn't one view the "I can't move where I want to" conduct as a fun challenge? This seems a little like saying Oka is less fun once you realiz...

Fangs.

Haste is currently superior to all other Level 6 spells. Benefits: * Decreases movement delay by 33%. * Decreases attack delay by 33%. Detriments: * Requires skill to cast (all spells). * Requires hunger to cast (all spells). * Increases hunger by 5. * Causes glow. To make Haste worse, the amount of...

Harmless humour. Spellpower usually relates to spell success, anyway.

Sounds good. Triple its power.

Any change (especially nerf and removal) provokes hostile reactions, we see it all the time. I wouldn't worry so much about that: feature X will be most dear to some players who won't like changing/nerfing/removing it. This is so objectionable. I don't even have things I especially object to being ...

Strength and to a lesser extent Dexterity are known to be bad.

Edit: Haste is a nice spell.

Level 2 Enchantment miscast is berserking you, so good job on being so foresighted.

God of brutes.

Also makes you glow, Level 7.

It makes you glow and is Level 6? =S

Also, can we stay on topic?

Clutter is subjective. Playing something like a Merfolk of Zin involves carefully husbanding multiple minor resources - the ability to swim, the ability to evade poison and sickness, what have you. It's enjoyable. Having a god of many minor tricks that add up is actually a nice idea. So I do support...

I wonder if people see the idea of many small bonuses equalling a strong single benefit... hmm... perhaps not...

Trample immunity sounds nice. Damage shaving is extremely powerful. I wonder why no one noticed that boots of running are the most sought-after item in the game.

Amazingly amazing.

I played all sorts. It was just a matter of including a lot of timing when you ate.

Instead of having spells take 3 (or was it 4?) turns to memorize, have the time required to memorize be based on your %chance to cast it. Redacted. This spell is rather tricky to learn. becomes "This spell will take some time to learn." Sounds good. As said, it's Spell Level turns. Making...

Yup. If they were a bit more common, people wouldn't care.

Cheibriados is currently an inferior god. Benefits: * Half a ring of sustenance. * Effects of poison and sickness halved. * (Piety/10,15) bonus to each stat. * The ability to slow enemies at the cost of piety, the ability to vanish at the cost of piety, the ability to damage foes faster than you at ...

Horrid initial idea. Pandemonium Lords should have better rewards for killing them, though. No real reason to apart from 15,000 EXP and whatever they use in combat.

One: the idea of Gain Attribute potions being poor... and the idea of replacing them. Gain Attribute potions are largely poor because they are a mutation - meaning that they are removed as Polymorph Other comes into effect and they take the place of other mutations. They're only strictly positive if...

It is interesting to create an exception to a systemic, but this is not the way to do it. Okawaru is one of the strongest deities of the pantheon for the two Invocations and the gifts.

Can't you do this with Z . anyway...

Concisely, permanent level-changing effects are by and large frowned on unless they're destructive.

This is silly. Secret doors are nice and fun. I play the early game a lot, and ossuaries use them marvelleously, as does the sewer entry with the hidden door. There's a feeling of worry as you seek the door for the vault. There should be no real trend of minimalism or feature creep.

It was intended to make Centaurs less horrid. Nausea's a frustrating mechanic for most people, particularly since if you eat when desperate you get Sick and your Nausea amount increases anyway. I actually preferred food reform.

Up the size of the bracketed text, please.

It's okay. Sorry if I seemed harsh.

Just the thing at the top, it was about an unrelated topic and had a link to it, so it distracted from the main thrust, i.e. your suggestion. Back to editing my post.

Please rewrite this so that it shows required links to understand it on the top and removes personal comments, thanks. Edit: The way that it's expressed on the wiki is a bit simpler. So, every weapon gets a set of abilities. I like the idea of a weapon getting one ability for each stat. If there was...

If you doubt any of my claims here about monster stats, feel free to look for yourself . I did. Every monster in the H genus has multiple attacks, and all but two (manticore, minotaur) can fly. And extremely fast monsters functionally "strike multiple times" anyway, so on a monster that's...
