Excuse me, heathens, its XCIX problems.

I think he's trying to say that in a conduct where you can't pick up items In the bit I quoted he says "A lot of my enchanters end up learning some offensive spells to deal with the unstabable, Vehumet can fill that hole.", if he only plays enchanters using this restriction then so be it,...

That's the one I was going for, I can't keep my fonts straight.

I've always found numbers confusing, and don't even get me started on negative numbers. (I mean, like, how do I hold up -3 fingers?) I think replacing them all with their Comic Sans representations would really enhance the UI, making it far more intuitive. What do you guys think?

Vehumet as a god sounds like a good idea to me but not for a character starting as a conjurer

This is horrible advice, Vehumet is an excellent god for conjurers.

I usually haste/go-down/blink-scroll.

I tend to think in the situation in which I'm wasting a scroll, I've already won the game and one EW scroll more or less isn't going to make a bit of difference in what I have left to do. Sure, by that logic you could probably throw half of your inventory in lava, but ultimately If you're in the ex...

What about the other two stairways down?

TSO's blessing works just like an enchant weapon 3 scroll, and hence is more likely to raise your enchantment from +8 to +9 than an enchant weapon 2 scroll, which is why I prefer to use it once I've used up all my on-hand scrolls. This is wasteful, you're putting yourself in a position where TSO's ...

No you're not.

It doesn't seem that easy to abuse, very high miscast chance usually also comes with very high miscast severity, which tends to be really fucking terrible. Also, healing 10% of HP, possibly combined with a very bad side effect, is usually still worse than most other actions. Wild magic is cool, and...

One-trick pony, but at least its a cool trick.

My first instinct if I were to try one of these guys would be to try to abuse the miscast-heal. I think they look cool though.

There's not a CSZO equivalent for this one by any chance is there?

Another change log question(s)... can someone tell me the differences in how the following are updated, and any other important differences between them as it pertains to figuring out the latest trunk changes: http://gitorious.org/crawl/crawl/commits/master http://crawl.develz.org/trunk/changes.txt ...

No, Lucy is the old name for Lugonu.

uh, you should definitely be using the heaviest plate you can find. ring mail only provides 24% GDR, whereas normal plate is 39%, up to 48% with crystal plate. whatever the +x modifier is is going to be pretty much worthless next to 15% extra flat damage reduction. GDR isn't flat damage reduction, ...

No, you actually hit the power cap for banishment around 10.5 iirc.

You never even entered slime.

SchwaWarrior wrote:Mmm... okay, interesting discussion so far, but what about this:

Instead of fire or ice attacks destroying the scrolls and potions outright, they damage them, making them unusable for a period of time.

You might also find the OP an interesting read.

Well, crazy and lighthearted brainstorming is what GDD is all about, right?

I saw on SA (and confirmed on trunk) that Traps skill was removed, but I don't see anything on http://crawl.develz.org/trunk/changes.txt . Is there a better place to follow trunk changes (I'm guessing some link on gitorious or something) ?

Ok, I'm at the orb chamber now. Killed a few Ancient Liches and a sleeping Orb of Fire. I've trained my Fighting to over 20 now.

Yeah, it hurts them and if it kills them you can get penance.

I'm trying a HaHu right now and the main problem I'm running into at XL12 is that ammo is damned scarce compared to other ranged options, even with Oka.

Damn, definitely would not have guessed that.

so your irony doesn't make you look nice here.

To be fair, your advice being so pointless and bad also played into it.

Solid on-topic advice there.

Can I get a TL:DR on that? A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an op...

Watch the first Karate Kid, it'll all make sense.

You usually see a lot of books with most spells represented even in a three-rune run and without a spell/book gifting god but occasionally you'll end up never finding something you wanted.
