The fact that glaciate used to be called Icestorm got me thinking- What if there were a ton of level 9 spells that worked like Firestorm but you can only have one memorized at a time? ACIDSTORM: Conjurations, Deals Acid damage, summons clouds of acid and slimes VENOMSTORM: Conjurations + Poison, Dea...

I could be wrong, but I think that while this proposal does make DD less broken in their get-out-of-jail HW card, it doesn't change in any way their dependence on some gods for their normal healing needs. Unless you give this regen thing a lot more charges, but then why not have DD heal normally si...

While I in general agree that your proposed change from instant heal -> slow heal makes sense, the following is a bad idea. Since it would be so much weaker in combat, you could buff the overall healing amount, or have a lower chance to consume mana, DD are incredibly powerful still, and buffing th...

DD gets a big fat heal wounds to make up for their zero regen and this makes no sense to me. All it does it make mistakes easily erased by spamming it, and otherwise tough or risky fights quite safe by HW spam. Meanwhile you could replace it with a temporary bit of health regeneration rate that woul...

the maze was boring and tedious. you just walk around, it's pure trial and error. all that the minivaults mean is sometimes there are hungry ghosts or redbacks but who cares? Once I had the Ring of Shaolin show up in one of those minivaults. And since there's no real punishment to exploring after y...

http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/players/lansh.html I was gonna post this on mantis but I'm not sure if bugs not related to the actual game itself are allowed there. So my HOFi and DDFi games (2nd and 3rd wins) have been duplicated, and they're the only ones I played on Jorgrun. It's not the bigge...

So U:3 was a map-wide vault made up of green walls, but what caught my attention was the fact that all the fire giants had battleaxes of freezing and all the frost giants had great swords of flaming. The rest of the game they had their correct weapons. Is there some flavor behind that, or is it just...

but then you get some nasty enemy on the orbrun that could've been escaped from more easily with a scroll of fog

Speed or Vamp lajatang against living targets? A quick google search didn't show any discussions about this specifically. My character has got some nice gear so it probably doesn't matter, it's more a question of curiosity than crucial advice. Also my character is using Okawaru, so perhaps the speed...

I would go riposte if I had a lot of AC already, especially if its 2H long blade so then you dont have a shield to deny ripostes. Or screw it, it's more fun to have a ton of ripostes and its more fun to use unrands, try it out just cause. But I agree with everyone else in that the riposte isn't a bi...

I acquired gauntlets of war on my unarmed ghoul. It has +5 slaying but I lose the +2 base damage from my claws. But isn't base damage for more valuable?

Basically I just want to know if it's a good idea to wear these.

Flame seems weak but it is useful to hit enemies in water to create steam clouds that both block LOS and kill them quickly. Usually for electric eels. Clouds is just big (resistable) damage in a large area (or confusion with the poison one). Once you train evo and get freezing, fire, draining clouds...

Tons of resists on rings are cool but from my experience they're nothing too special, especially as a gargoyle. That first pip is always the most important. You always find randarts with rF+++ or something anyway. I tend to get much more excited about ring of shaolin than a bunch of resists. That ri...

Halve movespeed, EV and stealth penalty because people hopping on one leg tend not to stay quiet and dodgy. But keep boots, since sac hand doesn't forbid gloves (right?)

This just sounds stupid because all the current sacrifices are things that most/all species already have (ability to cast spells, ability to use summons, use wands, whatever), so you're losing out on common "default" features. Meanwhile DS mutations are bonuses that other species lack. So ...
