I believe the same is true for Djinn elementalists.

Edit: this seems to have just been changed so they start with no potion at all, which is at least rational.

I suppose; but I wonder how much in the way of tactics would be left?

I think the problem with item weights/carrying capacity/etc is that it requires tedious stashing of extra ammo and the like. If you were just slowed by wearing excessively heavy armor, that might be fine. (We already have that system for ranged combat, after all.)

Where does the license say derivations must be free of charge? The code is under GPL v2, which requires derivations to be, among other things, freely licensed; but your proposed movie wouldn't really be a derivative work of the code, I wouldn't think. But IANAL.

I thought a few versions ago they'd changed it so troves could no longer ask for otherwise useless items (e.g. body armour for a Dr). Was I wrong?

I believe that Sandblast has been changed to no longer use stones (so, in particular, not giving them stones doesn't gimp anything).

I did. Congrats on your new laptop; hope next time is better.

Sorry I didn't get a win; I'm getting worse at this game I think? Lost two characters in Vaults, one from not knowing what to expect from Zenata. (Didn't help either that today's attempt at getting an Inheritor banner landed me with a DjIE^Trog.) Pleasure playing with you all as usual, anyway, and t...

I'd be fine with "team streaks" too.

I've done the same thing.

You can still retreat before you're in melee range, which is the best strategy anyway for speed-10 melee-only enemies one isn't yet ready to fight. And retreating in melee range was always dangerous once you were low on HP because of energy randomization. So the main effect for me has been to make m...

That's too bad.

Maybe we need a corporate sponsor for next time.

Given that I got a warning before switching to a ranged weapon while berserk, I'm guessing Moanerette is right about that. Glad some of you are winning!

Starting out with a GrHu^Gozag. Question about new ranged: does berserking still disable ranged attacks? (The answer might inform future Potion Petition choices.)

I may have done the same; I won a Cheibriados character last week for the first time in my life. But it's training I guess?

See the thread just below this one (Tavern Snacks of Opportunity); there should still be a spot there I believe.

Code:: # TEAMCAPTAIN Moanerette

right?

I'm in (assuming that's okay)! Who's captaining?

I think it would be pretty confusing since UC generally scales with Str. Which I'd be happy to see changed too, frankly.

That goes interestingly with the name....

That could be fixed by making damage scale more strongly with spellpower.

I'd like this too, though not sure where it would go; maybe under '%'?

Wait has launcher ammo been brought back? My crossbow seems to be ok without it still.

Well, and foresight, which would be very powerful. Though there would be issues to iron out, since for it to make sense it would have to only be guaranteed valid if nothing relevant changes, and then what counts as relevant needs to be clear.

Are there still any such monsters? I thought getting rid of them was the whole point of e.g. splitting deep elf mages into deep elf zephyrmancers and deep elf pyromancers.

That could be solved by buffing claws. (Or, in the case of trolls, increase the M&F aptitude to 0 or +1.)

I'd actually go for UC being Dex-based across the board, I think.

I've been playing for years and didn't know this until I read this post. (Zombies/skeletons go badly with ranged IMO, likely why the issue never arose for me.)

I suspect Flash Forge would be tough to tune so as to make whether to use it an interesting decision. It might make more sense to make it cheaper but temporary.

Not bad at all! Thank you sanka, you too!

Sorry I wasn't more help; is it just me, or has L:1 gotten a lot more deadly? (My last character encountered a spiny frog and two hydrae there.) Congrats to all, though, and especially to Strat on 58th place; pleasure playing with you all as always. And placing 22nd as a team is quite good, no?

Don't know, but this question might be better suited to "Dungeon Crawling Advice" as it's basically about what a game mechanic actually does.

I did once. And seriously considered calling it a tournament since I figured I wasn't improving my winrate score realistically.

Also TIL radroach mutagenic whatever actually does significant damage! (and there went my PaFi^Oka)

Wow congrats floatboth! 100% winrate is very nice!

Though, if you enslave a soul, I believe it does count for piety; so you'll then likely start each floor at *.....

Yay welcome back floatboth!

Hmm I think HOs are easier than Grs. And I wasn't trying to be adventurous, just didn't want to be deityless for too long. But congrats again!

There went that. Got Sentinel's Marked in Snake:4. My bound anaconda fought bravely to cover my retreat, but, yeah, naga sharpshooters. Guess I should have read ?tele sooner.

Congrats to both. We'll see how long my HO^Yred lasts (first time with new Yred so learning on the job so to speak).

Yup. Vaguely tempted to change it to something more interesting, but not yet.

Great! So I should just add

Code:: # TEAMCAPTAIN Strat

right?

Fair, you'll likely still do better than I will.

Is this happening again this time?

I believe yes?

I thought it meant that the shield penalty only went to 0 when you got to Shields 27; and, in return, it no longer applied to to-hit. What that means for equipment choices, I don't know either.

Could just make stones, arrows and bolts never mulch. Sling-bullet mulching is potentially interesting as petercordia said, and non-stone throwables are balanced around being scarce.

Well I think the idea behind Ignis is reverse piety, so I doubt the devs would go for normal piety gain. But I'd like there to be some way to get piety back; maybe picking up the Orb should revive him/er? Gameplay-wise, if you manage to stick with Ignis through Z:5, you get one free escape (via Risi...

I think it's been this way for a while at least; no idea about always.

Pretty sure the only time I'd ever leave the Temple still godless would be as a DD waiting for a Makhleb altar. Or a Dg of course.

I didn't mean you should be immune to their friendly fire; I meant they should be smart enough to not launch fireballs that will hit you.
