Re: swords

It would be possible to modify reaching: instead of attacking at distance two, it could make an automated attack when closing into distance one I like this idea, and it could also work for long blades. Call it lunge , thrust , or charge . When closing to distance zero directly towards an enemy, you...

Re: Equipment god

dpeg: Very cool! One forging edge case you may want to consider: some altars can't be returned to (e.g. in abyss or portal vault). It'd be disappointing if offered quests which can't be completed. Perhaps a simple workaround would be that returning to the altar isn't necessary, but the forging quest...

Re: Sif Muna revamp

I like the idea that Vehumet-worshipers maximize DPS while Sif-worshipers use magic with more finesse. Here are some ideas for passive boosts which fit that theme: - faster casting of non-destruction spells - improved secondary spell effects (e.g. AOE, duration, resistance penetration, cast time, ac...

Re: Poison effect

I'll reiterate what I said earlier because there is some support for the idea of poison slowing. Slowing isn't the only temporary and tactically relevant effect we can consider. Another approach would be to give poison temporary and tactically relevant non-damage effects. Effects like stat damage, M...

Re: Poison effect

Tedium because of increased resting (which even need some special configuration to avoid long rest being constantly interrupted). Galehar's suggestion to shorten the duration would solve this, although it may reduce differentiation of the poison damage type. Consider even a drastic reduction, where...

Re: Make Ds mutations more gamechanging

A quick brainstorm for more radical DS mutations: - other ways to trade item slots for greater benefits, e.g. permanent blade hands - bonuses in water, lava, or various clouds - conditional mobility, e.g. short-range (2 space) cblink triggered from breath timer, high tension, and/or high damage deal...

Re: Roshuum, Lawful Stealthy God

Having a god centered around noise is a cool idea, and there seems to be some design space here. My comments/questions: - Why can't the god just wear some divine earplugs? - Roshuum, the Censor: for a "silence" theme less conducive to stealth, the god could lash out at (smite / confuse / s...

Re: Long Blades, M&F effect brainstorm

Long blades - Disarm: doesn't bring you the weapon (like a whip might), but causes it to be dropped. It could even be "thrown" (blink so it doesn't go in lava/deep water) a short distance away. Chance to disarm could be based on weapon skill, monster HD (e.g. not easy to disarm Cerebov), a...

Re: Interrupting the donning of armor

From a flavor perspective, I can see being unable to defend oneself while putting on some armor. Some full suits of medieval plate required the assistance of servants.

Re: Class Rankings

Favorite: 1. Conjurer (Ice) - Blasting things is cool. Mephitic Cloud makes your life easy. I always try to get Ozocubu's Refrigeration later, which is silly fun. 2. Crusader - This hybrid class is very flexibile. Charms offer great utility, and Berserk is really powerful. High Fighting means you ar...
