Could we at least get a message when AC or EV or SH is raised due to skill training? This would make it possible to set a force_more_message for that message. That's a great idea! I'm usually training EV "until I get that extra EV point", and I forget to check that and over-train the skil...

I always thought Nagaraja's were way less of a threat than a Naga Sharpshooter, but I guess that's just because I usualy play caster/ranged characters that are squishier than most melee brutes and those PProj hits really hurt if I'm not lucky enough to have Dmsl and a bunch of SH. What I think makes...

Moved my post to Snake Pit thread instead as it is more appropriate there.

I guess it's one of those cases where the effectiveness of a spell depends on the style that player prefers. I personally prefer slow and methodical approach, so it's not a problem for me to sit and contemplate for a moment if I should end my necromutation transformation and quaff/use abilities. I r...

If you're not going for megazigs where you can get first turn silence I found that as soon as you see that aura coming, cast a few passages of golubria (just in case), cast PProj and try to snipe that silent bastard. If you run out of steam, just step into your passage and reset the fight.

You're following vehumet. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's possible to blast silent spectre outside of your LOS with firestorm?

Personaly I always learn Tornado last. I prefer Shatter instead of Tornado if I have a choice.

I don't get all this hate on necromutation. ⋅ It's usually easy to avoid dispel undead as it's range is very short. ⋅ It let's you scum abyss for that dank exp before extended. ⋅ Usually you have cBlink available so if you're in a rut and need to quaff just cBlink, end ...

Just use tornado as a supplementary damage over time ability when you have monsters around you. Keep it up and use other spells to clean up the mess... It's good in conjunction with airstrike for picking off singular non-tanky dangerous enemies off. Edit: Looking at your char dump I think you would ...

So can anyone summarize the changes in a neat way? If traps are triggered when they're explored: it's a direct nerf to Barachi and a buff to darkness/nightstalker/robe of night which were already pretty damn powerful. Also, ZOT:5 will be way more dangerous and Vaults:5 could be a problem.

That would be neat. You can already examine player ghosts as well, so I think it wouldn't be a problem to code 'examine yourself'. Altough monsters, nem phantom and player ghosts never switch their gear, so that could be an issue to code.

STR is useful in a bunch of scenarios. You'd always want ArmourEncumbrance+2 amount of STR to nullify penalties. Also, STR transfers to Slay (I don't remember exact values, probably something as 5STR = 1 slay). I'd like STR on characters that melee/throw more than I would like DEX. And I think STR i...

Nice character! Altough it triggers me how you haven't got any spells.

I would go for Orb. Going Zig's pure melee build is suicide IMO.

If you cleared the most of Snake:2 you could try to pick a down-stair which is furthest away from where you spotted Vashnia and try to risk it. I would annotate the level while standing on the stair so you would not forget that Vashnia is still on Snake:2. From your most recent char dump I see that ...

That was a nice read. Thank you!

Will you try anything similar to this "greater-berserker" run?

Congrats! Damn, that's some good rings you got there: ring "Forget-Me-Not" {rPois rF+++ rN+++ MP+9 Int-4} ring of Fizierch {rElec rN+ MR+ MP+9 Str+4} Would you say that mummies are not that horrible after you survive early game? What was your biggest "pain in the ass" while playi...

"Guard this area" is currently the most useful ally command since it lets you direct your allies to attack any nearby targets. Telling them to attack a specific target requires that the target be in LOS, and of course won't help you if you want them to attack multiple targets. Never thoug...

Will allies enter travel restricted areas? If not, then excluding the doorway in question seems like a simple solution to the bottleneck micromanagement issue and might generally be useful at controlling the degree to which allies draw aggro. I don't think excluding tiles is less tedious than just ...

Indeed. As Tumalu said, picking warper is just "I wanna get blink and PoG". That background needs some adjustments. Duvessa covered most of why this spell school is wacky, I'll just add my 5 cents: ⋅ I really, really like PoG and always learn it on every character as it is my ult...

Nightstalker 1 for Kobolds would be neat. It would offer a unique twist on a rather mundane species. It would be easy to balance as well, if it's too OP just reduce some of Kobold's aptitudes.

That would be a very nice change to unify those menus. At least merge (w)ield and (P)ut as they are quick actions which you constantly do in combat (swap weapons, swap rings). Most of you probably know this but here's an option/rc code which lets you to remove/take-off items from the same menu as wi...

I'm not sure if this will solve moving into one direction until you hit a wall as I've transferred my rc file from offline to online and I've never had this problem before in offline, but here's what I did: Include in your rc file this line: include = safe_move_shift.txt What it will do is that it w...
