Where I do I post bugs? I have a funny one for a Beogh player in an Arcane Sanctum. I instantly summoned and enslaved all mutated orcs in the sanctum and made them permapals. They acted like named, advanced orcs and could immediately receive weapons.

It felt good saving them. Thank you for this bug.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.12-a0-1544-g16b5b17 (tiles) character file. 1261 Grave the Ogre Mage (level 8, -5/72 HPs) Began as an Ogre Necromancer on Jan 3, 2013. Was a Follower of Ashenzari. Shot with an arrow by a centaur (13 damage) ... on Level 7 of the Dungeon. The game lasted 00:45:05 ...

I just had the luckiest start in all my history of gaming. And I'm about to get married to Ashenzari. Level 1=Potion of Experience, immediate jump to level 4 Level 2=Ring of Wizardry Level 3=Scythe of Curses Level 4=Temple with Ashenzari's heavy breathing as I approached, with everything down to my ...

I switched into windowed mode (init file) and now have no problems. But in full screen mode it was unplayable.

I'm using the newest dev version, tiles, under windows 8. Since upgrading to Windows 8 this morning, the game is almost unplayable. There is a serious delay in the video, a laggy feeling, whether using mouse or keyboard. You cannot actually put, let's say, mephitic cloud, on a monster. When you put ...

Never, ever, ever stand next to a titanic slime. Never.

Annihilated by a titanic slime creature (91 damage)

I used it to lure elves and snakes out of their lair when I had a melee build easily overwhelmed and no good choke point. I lured them to long halls and combined with teleport, found it useful for the brief moments before I died.

In .10 trunk, ghosts can throw sticky flame beyond melee range. Over and over.

Friends, I'd love to play online more. It's matured into a nice option that doesn't feel jerky or very slow. The bit of slow that's there actually helps. Well, this morning, I can't get https://tiles.crawl.develz.org/ to open in Chrome 16 beta. So that's a barrier. It's the keyboard that is stopping...

Coming off my first extended game win (12 runes with a non-magic using Ghoul Monk of Makhleb), I make the following observations: The staff of Dispater is useful for characters with enough HP and evocation training. Very, very useful. Steam Dragon armor is useful for all characters, especially the +...

With my Ghoul Artificer of Oki, level 6 on Dungeon 4. Dowan blinks! Duvessa resists. Duvessa speeds up. Duvessa is charmed. Your wand has 10 charges. [I zap with wand of flame] Dowan is badly wounded. [Duvessa attacks a bat] Duvessa hits Dowan with a runed dagger. Dowan hits Duvessa with a short swo...

I just won a 9 rune game with a demonspawn monk of makaleb. Having a 27 in fighting and unarmed combat made zot pretty easy once I decided to do it. I'm playing .10, so no hive, no shoals in this one, and I emptied all but the cold branch of hell. Still too afraid to do Pan. Abyss wasn't so hard in ...

minmay wrote:Orbs of fire still mutate. You just got lucky.

I killed them in 2-3 iron shots. While hasted. So they honestly didn't have a lot of time.

This was my first extended game win, with a trip to three branches of hell and a sound defeat of the negative lord. I noticed that Orbs of Fire do not seem to mutate you like before. Is this true? And the orb area is unable to be shattered and designed differently than I'd seen it last. Perhaps I ne...

I am playing a sludge elf earth elementalist and wanted to try out a statue form build to augment a multi-rune game. But in my research, I discovered the unarmed combat advantage in statue form was nerfed starting in .9, so now it's better to have a weapon. The question is, can this spell still domi...

This is crazy and makes me want a Toy Story version of DCSS.

I read the thread about this build and had been using challenging builds for a long time; I was ready for some victory. Trog was good to me. He gave me everything a little angry sprig could want except for that killer sling, Punk, that I've had before. Sure, he gave me piles of bullets that I didn't...

Thanks for your thoughts, and KoboldLord, I bow to your understanding of actual coding and game mechanics. I'm a casual player. I have two ascends, and those with 3 and 4 runes, been playing for many years, so I have much to learn. I did a replay of the Octopod with the easiest wizard--Venom Mage. I...

I think the AC is too small; yes. I think the game mechanics offer a way to enhance AC without adding armor. An armored octopus is just wrong. But one with several shields and two swords is perfect. :mrgreen: I agree that there are ways, as with all castors, to avoid contact with the enemy. But in t...

This is a thread for those who are experimenting with the bleeding edge and using the newest character, the octopod. This little darling is an octopus, who has an AC of 1 (really!) and a base evasion of 15. And it can wear 8 rings. And it likes water. Of course, it can't be a Transmuter with 8 blade...

I am on Level 1, just starting an Octopod Transmuter, 700 turns into the game. I get this message: "You hear a distant "Zot!" Now I am searching for it, for a picture to prove it. Finished the level. No Zot trap found. Need a magic map scroll to reveal level and see if one is hidden. ...

I arrived in the ugly beauty of the Abyss. I would spread this beauty to my world, if Lugonu would will it. I await on her altar, with a gate only 4 steps away. I stand, and walk to the gate. Poof! Before I take the third step, the Abyss spins before me! I am lost. Fear not, I think, after a moment'...

I just lost an interesting Kobold carrying the black torch. Level 14, but low hit points and low AC made him easy pickings for a hand-axe throwing Warlord. Two right between the eyes. Having a race that can eat anything he doesn't resurrect made all the strengths of the Yre jump out at you. But the ...

A Kobold Death Knight is interesting. Being able to eat anything, turn everything else into slaves, get good servants from Yremajaojojapskjeb, is fun. I just died at level 14 in the bottom of the Mines, two-shotted by a thrown ax from a warlord. Low hit points. But otherwise, all the strengths of th...

Thanks for that correction. I did not realize .9 had such a dramatic change. I'll go back to .8 and run a character through that instead and give my results. However, if one were to run a "skill rocket" through .9 Ashenzari, to create that happy unbalance of a rapidly growing skill, you'd ...

Human Wanderer can cook up a pretty good character! Look at my skills-- Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.9-a1-141-g3e33e22 character file. Dude the Grave Robber (Human Wanderer) Turns: 531, Time: 00:03:45 HP 13/16 AC 2 Str 9 Exp: 2/9 (2), need: 21 MP 3/5 EV 11 Int 17 God: Gold 50 SH 0 Dex 10 Spell...

No, I'm not scumming for an altar on D:1, though it would be nice. I lost about 20 humans, both fighters and wizards, to a variety of snakes and gnolls. Terrible run of deaths on snakes. So I did something I've never done; a human wanderer. Here's what came up--I'd do this more often if I got a char...

I've played DC for a long time. Two ascends, sprig enchanter and a recent demon earth elementalist. Not a pro by any means, but I know my way around and can die with great applause. I've thought about the advantages of leveling up and getting more experience, especially with the Ashenzari, shackled ...

My current super invincible and never will die Draconian Transmuter has a Recvim a +6 cloak with Rf+, Rpoison, Relect, RC+ and Rage. I worship Che so I have to be careful about rage.

:oops:

Hi folks, thanks for creating a great forum. I wanted to chime in on a build I'd never tried before--a Draconian Transmuter of Che. Hard to start, two deaths before the third brother made it past level 3. Low intelligence and no good items made it a hard beginning, but when I got over the hump aroun...
