It's once again time for... Infinitevox's Demonspawn Mutation Suggestion List! We got Sturdy Frame out of the last list, cutesy of Chequers, and after much brainstorming, I've got another list ready to go! [Slot-Loss Mutations] Right now, there are 5 of these: Claws (Hands), Horns|Antennae (Head), H...

Both are terrible compared to damage, but the former at least allows hats. I have to disagree here, Antennae 3 is ridiculously strong for stabbers/casters/hybrids. It is, by far, my favorite of the slot-loss mutations. Knowing enemy positions (and relative threat level) without LoS gives a tactical...

We can solve all of these unnecessary removals by just getting rid of one! Namely, remove papilio.
I've never had a good game with papilio, and honestly, papilio seems a little redundant to me when you already have duvessa, rast, and veryangryfelid.

Aux-slot muts are boring... - This is a subjective opinion. I happen to like some of them. I do agree that they could be varied more, and I've got several new suggestions to that effect that I'll be putting in my annual "Ds Muts Suggestions" thread here shortly. Mons Ds should get 1 rank ...

Make it optional?
"You feel your Monstrous ancestory attempt to assert itself, do you allow this?: (Y/N)?"

As someone who basically plays only demonspawn , I feel uniquely qualified to comment here... I like the concept of Monstrous Demonspawn I've been collecting my thoughts on them for a while now, and I was going to make a post about it the next time my new Ds Muts suggestions list was ready, but I'll...

Would it be possible to make it so you can fire through your floating weapons, like with Ds Demonic Guardian?
It was extremely annoying not being able to zap or cast through the summoned weapons.

Banners from the latest tournament?
I like stuff like that, not everyone does, and I understand UI clutter, so if you're not interested its cool :p

Gozag replaces the corpse with gold, not the item drops.
When you had to actually butcher the body to get the hide, I was on board.

Now that they just "drop" like an item, separate from the corpse, it no longer makes sense to exclude the worshippers of Gozag, imo.

Essentially this:

If you worship Gozag, dragons/trolls/etc never leave behind scales, even though its not tied to crafting/butchery anymore.
If this was intended, I never read anything about it anywhere, and it seems both spoilery and unfair to have this sort of error :p

I like the concept of expanding the inventory, while for flavor reasons I'd prefer it were smaller (and used item weights, STR, etc), that would be detrimental to actual game-play, which I feel would overall benefit from having this.

1. Wands of the same kind stack
2. Remove food

Honestly, you could lose the "dance of the dead" thing. I think swapping out body parts is an interesting enough and unique enough idea to build around without adding in any other parts.

Can crawl inside its shell I thought that the mechanic will be that it can start a new crawl inside its shell. If she wins, than she heals 10*number of runes hp, and comes out from the shell the same turn it went in. Of course she is still a turle in the inside crawl game, so she can start a new cr...

I'd play the shit out of this if it were a species. Specifics could def use some working out, but as for the basis, especially: I've been thinking about this one a bit more. I think it could be nicer if, rarely, "eating" a corpse would offer you a chance to replace a full body part. "...

The pizza is the Aura, the toppings are the enemies, these so-called "god" abilities are just different ways of "cooking" this "pizza".
He's not fooling anyone!!

(I'll give this god a tryout too)

But it's newbies who dabble with mutations. . I'm going to stop you right there. That statement is categorically false. It's boring people who play for score that avoid mutations like the plague. Some of us play this game for fun, and my idea of fun just so happens to be playing Ds who chug potions...

You use Inkscape?

How much of a hassle would it be to add Achievement Titles to this scoreboard? Stuff that in that past, one has to keep track of themselves? ie "Great Player, Greater Minotaur, etc" ? Also, anyway to include Wins with species/backgrounds/gods that are no longer in the game? Maybe as a sepa...

I don't suppose Hellcrawl is available somewhere for offline play is it? I haven't been able to find any time to actually play crawl from webtiles lately bc of work but still wanna try this branch out.

I think Unseen Horrors are actually worth saving, and could be saved by showing "unseen monster around" whenever one is in LOS. That's interface-heavy, but it'd be alright for a single monster (and a unique or so). And please leave Sigmund his invis. That scary motherfather is a unique, s...

I like the concept there, my only initial worry is how would this species play out with Guardian Spirit?

e: Some particular offenders: Sky beasts (should be removed entirely). I agree with your post except this. I'd prefer Sky beasts stick around. They do electric damage at a time when rElec is usually scarce, they go invis when Sinv is usually scarce, and they leave a mutagenic corpse fairly early in...

Regarding butchering: I come from Nethack, and there, you just 'e'at corpses. Inserting another step with butchering (I think it was called 'D'issection years ago?) seems to be a Crawl idea. I am afraid it might have been added for realism alone, but that was way before my time. I guess it was also...

Removing actual food would be a bit difficult, since you have to consider floor spawns, shops, acquirement, gozag, several food vaults, corpses, vamp weapons, vampires, spells, rods, and.... I'm probably missing a few things. Removing the food clock is easy, you could just add a function that "...

I like the idea of a "Doom-Clock" trap. You step on it and it triggers, but nothing immediately happens. Instead, you get a short timer. You have until that timer runs out to get to the next level (can't appear on branch ends) or it does something bad. Summons some OOD mobs, banishes you t...

You don't need to. I am sure we will need some visual effect for monsters who don't give you XP anyway so we won't have to check monster descriptions to see if they are dangerous or easy. We already have something similar for summons. So that the game can become super extremely tedious as I have to...

You don't need rMut because 1) you are supposed to control your LOS against mutators, 2) you only face OoFs when you are about to win, 3) Mnoleg gets to mutate you but then you quaff your curemut potions. This is a lie people tell themselves so they don't cry to sleep every night. "use better ...
