Using Les Pauls for design seems like a great idea!

experience

You can only use 26 of them fruitfully so it's kind of a waste, but still...

Yes (it is in my hands at least)

How does it explain the discrepancy though? Does one of these rankings use "game" score, and the other "challenge" score?

EDIT : Oh I see it now, the division ranking is an average, while the overall one is absolute.

I've got a little question about scoring and ranking. Specifically, how can I be below Tedronai in Div 2 (2.2 to 2.1), but above in overall ranking (#7 to #12) ?

Thank you WalkerBoh for setting all this up, the challenges were a very fun way to keep in shape for the tournament (and just in time, too :p ).

Well...

Just got the Spider rune, experienced the new Siren AI in Shoals, and decided to quit.

Yay, just got the tier I bonus! Dephts 2 is too tough for me though ; it has a large vault with all 3 downstairs and lots of monsters, I quit after expending much of my consumables. Maybe time to get a rune?

Got the weirdest luck in this game, too : several dragon hides, but no ?EA ...

Just give him a backstory about how he was raised by Stone Giants farmers. It explains his strenght, and also his death yaks (they're like sheep to a stone giant)

And I had a book of Dreams! I just facepalm'd so hard... (I know how good it is, I just assumed I hadn't found it somehow) Thanks for the good advice, maybe I'll make a post-it or something next time :lol:

Well, finally kicked the bucket : http://crawl.develz.org/morgues/git/aspy/morgue-aspy-20140129-200423.txt A bit frustrating as DgCj is a really strong combo, but this character somehow felt weak in the endgame.

This looks really cool, I'd be interested in participating! ( aspy on CDO )

Now YAVP! Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.14-a0-1394-gf100833 (console) character file. 1476018 aspy the Metallomancer (level 25, 177/177 HPs) Began as a Demonspawn Artificer on Dec 2, 2013.

As the title says, I started as a DsAr and had a lucky early find in that nice unrand ring of invisibility. I proceeded to invistab my way through Lair (and Shoals, thanks to the +Fly robe), and decided to equip Sonja's distortion dagger to test how good/bad distortion is in the 3-rune game (so far,...

Artificer is not really a "challenging start". They get really good wands (seriously, enslaving a dude is BETTER than an insta-kill), and their starting evo is not wasted even if they don't go nemelex (wand of enslavement, +inv artifacts, good misc items...). Actually, since they have such...

I think you should consider playing a Demigod Tm. They have very good HP and no useful mutation, their high INT means you should need to spend less exp in magic skills (easier to focus on UC) while STR/DEX help your evasion and forms damage. Furthermore, it will help you get used to the Tm playstyle...

Having played it quite a lot (~20 hrs), I find it fundamentally different from Isaac though. In Isaac, you unlock the possibility for a wider array of items to appear in any given run, making the game more and more random and challenging. In Rogue Legacy you permanently upgrade your base stats/unloc...

It might be a better idea to use the Roguelike Radio term - the game is a Rogue-like-like.

Isn't a Roguelikelike some kind of jelly that eats your shield and plays only by its own rules ?

MiBe is not bad...

But KoBe is the beefiest ! (i regret nothing)

Yes, it is (also He can lichform you. Enjoy !)

... Hell Heckler ?

The suggestion was to use Summon Butterflies to block the ogre mage's line of fire so it couldn't banish you. Pretty much that. Also if you decide to try and win a game with Xom (and you're not a Mummy), you need all the potions of curing you can find ; no trove can possibly be worth it (Xom confus...

Yes, new Abyss monsters can be... fun.

About that banishment, you did have Butterflies (a little investment in summoning can go a long way, especially if you happen to also find shadow creatures), and also an unequipped ring of protection from magic (kinda helps against banish)

Since you're with Trog you really shouldn't worry too much about wasting ammo. That being said, if you really really want to stockpile bolts you can always just : - Not explore Shoals all that much (though I would at least find all three downstairs in Shoals:4) - Try luring monsters onto dry land (a...

You offer a prayer to Fedhas.
The necrophage rots away and dies. A toadstool grows from the ground.
That felt like a moral victory.

Doesn't the Spellcasting skill still give you extra spell levels only every .5 skill level ?

Shatter is nice in Vaults:8, but not quite as much as in Tomb:3

Unfortunately they lacked rAxing

Yeah, it turns out even a longbow-of-velocity-wielding ghost can barely do any damage at all

Yeah, effectively having weapon/armour/dodge skills cap at 22 frees up quite a bit of XP to invest into Haste or cBlink

If you happen to die or run into Mara with a ranged weapon equipped, does the resulting ghost fire missiles ? Does it have limited ammunition ?

Vampirism does not work on undead or demonic AFAIK, although it's great for pre-endgame and Zot. With your Evo and Earth, the Staff of Earth should do about 1d20 extra damage with each melee attack (you might want to ask someone more knowledgeable than me if it stacks with the rest of your attack as...

When you absolutely do not want to use an ability by mistake, you can use =a to set it to an uppercase letter

What about Potion of Augmentation ?

So, I was getting this pretty fun character rolling (funny how you don't really need to worry about hydrae when you can instakill everything below ~120 MR), banished a bunch of uniques (including TRJ, but thankfully it turns out you can just corrupt the vaults). Having 5 runes and seeing as the game...

Elephant slugs are also really slow and lack a ranged attack, so even if they do wake up a Spriggan can outrun them easily

If you're that nervous about Aizul, you could even reach at him through a weaker monster

I'm currently playing on CDO and I just saw this strange thing on the dungeon overview screen (screenshot attached) : -> four shops listed in the abyss (there weren't any) -> weird buggy annotations about non-existent Abyss portals (got abyssed twice though) I'm not sure if these are known bugs ; I ...

LRD has the same 3xAC drawback as Sandblast (and Orc Warlords tend to wear heavy armour).
EDIT : what smock said

Sandblast applies AC three times though, so it might not do a lot of damage on an orc wearing chain mail or plate armour (use stone arrow instead)

Frederick was likely invisible (he does that). Now, while you could see invisible, dancing weapons cannot ; that's why they did not attack. EDIT : also you could have summonned butterflies before going up the stairs, it would have protected you from 2/3 of his offensive spells. Bolt of cold would st...

You're going to want to find some rMut or curemut for Zot. Orbs of fire will tear your DNA like it was toilet paper. Actually, rMut is pretty overrated for Zot (just ask TehDruid :lol: ). Seriously though, a bad mutation set is pretty irrelevant on the orb run (except maybe slow movement 3 ?), and ...

You'd probably better swap the pearl dragon armor for the fire resistance plate, especially since you don't cast spells (and some monsters in Zot do heavy fire damage). Otherwise, your resists are fine ; your weapon does not seem to be the best, but I guess it's still a demon whip (might wanna ask s...

Don´t delve into Rune-Levels being sure you will beat everything that might come out.

Fixed it for you.

Speed is also very potent on big weapons, especially early on when you don't yet have the necessary skill for min delay (seeing as it halves weapon delay)

Yeah, most weapon brands are likely to kill you in one or two hits at that stage of the game
