Zin was not great as a starting god, and a new mechanic was introduced for allowing Beogh conversion.

Seek first to understand, then to Be understood.

Just go get the orb, but more importantly put code tags around your char dump.

Please post the eliminated entries in a thread in CYC.

I think I remember that it's possible to pre-define "This spell should memorize to this letter" in my config, but I've been consistently too lazy too look it up You can pre-assign letters in your rcfile, like: spell_slot += summon butterflies:b and specify multiple letters in case some ar...

Is it possible to do the same with spells ?

Yes, = then s (instead of i for items)

We could call it battlesphere.

No way.

Should move this to GDD.

When considering whether to designate someone as a good source of advice for a game, checking to see if someone has actually ever won said game is the exact same thing as running a full security clearance and background check.

I think this is leaving out important information.

You're wrong.

Eh, guess I'm just thinking of electric branded weapons. (and trusting the wiki when I should know better)

Flight's useful pretty much regardless of class.

crate wrote:blade is sometimes worth doing now that you get two weapons instead of one

I agree with this. I've gone in a few times recently when I didn't have a gifting god and hadn't gotten the top-tier weapon that I wanted by that point.

Also the whole anaconda/dire-elephant ending goes pretty much unnoticed if you don't hack through some plants at the vault entrance.

For the most part this is true, but I can think of a couple of exceptions that enforcing some measurable amount of online competence would have filtered out.

There is always the thanks button.

Do you have a point related to the post you quoted?

- What about offline players? How to verify their winrate. Honestly I only listen to guys that have a good track record online, I just have no way of knowing if an offline player has done what he says he's done. I'd rather see total wins used than win rate (it tends to align better with who I consi...

Again trying for standard 15-rune MiFi after getting last one killed at 11~12 rune (I wonder how I got first 15-rune win without using much spell).

Regarding the Boris case: again, each floor you visit has a chance to contain Boris. By dipping into a floor you wouldn't otherwise have visited, you're actually giving Boris a free bonus roll of the die. And you can just park him there, so you don't have to deal with him coming back later. This se...

interesting.

Yeah, if you're in a corridor this will work. (or just 'left direction without CTRL' if you can back him into a dead end)

Sounds like an unseen horror, they start to show up around D:10ish. Basically they are like a hard hitting invisible bat so it is hard to guess where they are going to be, if I don't have see invis I usually just try to get off the level, into a hallway, and/or use a fog scroll to help find them.

I think it is unfair to say "pretend you didn't know about GDR" because in other cases it IS more relevant, aka spellcasters should wear leather armor over robes 99% of the time. If you're in melee range so often as a "spellcaster" that GDR is an overriding concern, then you may...

When setting up my rc file autopickup rules, I tried using '}' for runes but that apparently makes all misc items autopickup. The option guide doesn't list a symbol for runes in this context either. Is there a symbol that is just for autopickup runes?

Just picked it up on downloadable trunk. How does this work? I think it summons spiders, but is it one time only or does it works like lamp of fire? Limited number of charges, but that number seems pretty high. And is there a chance of summoned spiders turning up hostile? I don't think so, at least...

I feel strongly that minmay should be blue.
I think nago also meets the bar for blue status, but I only feel this 73% as strongly as my minmay stance.
Psyeye seems like a nice guy.

Looks like you should've removed Shield of the Onion.

Hmmm

If BoB scales with depth, should the elemental evokables? I kind of think they should get more powerful by the same mechanism, and that it should be Evocations skill. It's OK if the Box sucks with low Evo; Annihilations sucks with low magic skills. That's a pretty horrible analogy and I wouldn't ca...

One possibility is scaling the beasts up according to a combination of depth and evo rather than just evo, this was in the original wiki proposal but I wanted to see how it worked with just evo, because basing the effect on where in the dungeon you were seemed a bit odd to me. Scaling with depth + ...

Well done, sir.

Hall of blades (is it hard? is it worth it?) Not really worth it since you've already got the +9 Bardiche. If I dont want to go Hell, Pandemonium, Tomb (you say I dont want ^^)...

I can go finish Elves, Schoals or Forrest, or maybe start visit something completly new (Tomb?). But I have no idea how difficult these places are. If you're going for your first win I probably wouldn't mess with Elf 3 and don't even dream of going into Tomb (dear god do not do this). I'd just grab...

I'm currently doing a game using a spriggan enchanter, only because it seems to be something a lot of people pick. Playing it, it seems quite easy - most stuff stays asleep as I approach it, and dies in one hit because I stab it. If it doesnt, I put it to sleep, and then stab it. Is this the sprigg...

I'd either do that or give Forest a try.

You are right.

Thank you for the correction. I have no idea what you want him to substantiate or why you ...

Based on having read the post you quoted from, I will take a stab at these! The OP proposes to make low strength worse as well as high strength better. Seems like the proposal is actually "Make Str matter". It would appear that he understands this. Do you disagree, I believe he does. or ha...
