Random brainstorm which might be too much work; what about the following idea?: (1) Gnoll default aptitudes are -2 on all (bare with me here). (2) Gnolls have "Easy Learner": At the start of the game, and every fifth (?) level, Gnolls get a "Eureka" token. Enabling this token giv...

He's right here! 8-)

Far-fetched brainstorm: to make dealing with the changes in aptitudes less of a hassle, the Werewolf could have a separate aptitude sheet (i.e., the same overview, but accessible with a shortcut, like "modified" or "enhanced", but then "werewolf").

Seems like it overlaps a whole lot with transmutation casters, except you only use one form and your aptitudes change. I doubt it would be worth it to split your XP between two different offensive skills to the degree where it would be viable to really play like a dedicated spellcaster and then als...

Cheers for the feedback guys! I doubt this will ever evolve more from a brainstorm idea, but some small advices to polish it (plus all Shard1697 said): After the transformation ends, the humanoid is Exhausted for level+1 turns This is wrong, unless you want to make this form less usable (or force mo...

This is a rough sketch, as I am pretty unfamiliar with Crawl balancing, but the main idea is to have a species with two alternate forms that manipulate aptitudes and change playstyle (a different form of hybrid!). Basically, as a humanoid, you are more of a spellcaster (albeit a mediocre one). As a ...

Edit: nevermind!

Sure man, just switch! You're gonna have a great time ahead.

I would try to get at least rF+ (Salamanders) and rElec (Shock Serpents) for Snake. Ideally also keep at least MR++ (to reduce the % of Teleport Other). These things aren't really necessary, but they help a lot. The first pips of resists (rF+ / rC+) are most important. Be sure to try and do searches...

Nice one! TSO makes Hell and Tomb a lot more manageable (but it's not necessary). You could swap to TSO (I wouldn't swap to Zin now). You'll have to be careful about the penitence period. Tomb is a real thrill. With TSO, you can use Cleansing Fire (have invocations as high as possible). Just be sure...

It's impressive that you've completed Pan with frail 3 (-30% HP), and also while initially not having any resists going (I was a bit skeptical). There are 3 ways that I can think of to get rid of those mutations (which is a good idea if you want a strong chance at 15 runes), two of which you already...

Haha, took some balls to give the finger to Chei.
Shock snakes are terrible! I was talking about that today as a matter of fact.
Ru's Apocalypse ability is insanely great btw. It's the ultimate monster closet cleaner!

Ah that sucks! Glad to see you tried anyway. By the sound of it you were close to achieving victory. I think others mentioned all the hindsight pointers. I've done Tomb as a statue (don't necessarily need Lichform) and without Control Undead. There are many ways to go about it! You might have undere...

Tomb 1 is a good place to try some of the Greater Mummies / Mummy Priests and see how you fare. Statue form provides a lot of Torment resistance (and slow movement is no problem with cBlink). I'd give it a go (I'd get rN+++ before you attempt Tomb (rC+ / rF+ are enough I think). Magic Mapping is you...

Currently running a MfTM^Ru. 10 Runes in (5 in Pan left). My sacs: Love, Resistance, Essence (MR), Skill. Having full Ru piety early game was a big deal (Apocalypse saved the day a few times). Of all these, only Love is the one that I regret a bit, but I would definitely not call it terrible. You es...
