Brogue has a very tight food clock so lots of things work there that wouldn't work at all in Crawl.

Well it's haste that stacks with haste, although certainly you might not need a second haste once you have the first one.

0.12 is released!

Start setting up your tournament clans! See the tournament website for details.

nope

One of them is guaranteed (directly behind the Zin altar) if I'm reading the vault right, yes. Possibly you missed it somehow or equally possibly I'm reading the vault wrong, though.

whichever one is pressing tab faster

Lots (most? all?) of Crawl's tiles are public domain - I think these old ones originally come from http://rltiles.sourceforge.net. I vaguely remember this game (and its tiles) being mentioned before on the Tavern even, but I can't find the thread.

And actually lich and ice form draconians are still cold-blooded if they get rid of their rC.

Also check the A screen, it shows you which mutation are still active when you transform.

Damage enchantment.

Not really, no. It's not blocked anywhere it wasn't blocked before.

Lichform is most well-known for taking away your access to various emergency abilities and Zin is known for giving you access to two very powerful ones, so there's that. Maybe they are similar in some other way I'm not aware of though!

Fedhas also protects your plants from friendly clouds anyway, so freezing cloud for example is fine too.

third time lucky right

right???

That tends to be helpful, yes!

Yeah this is an issue, probably the fix is to either make stat drain require XP gain to recover (like transient mutations), or to just make stats not recover over time (obviously that would maybe require additional adjustments to sources of stat drain).

mumra pretty much covered everything already but for clarification, I'm not a moderator, I just requested the thread be moved out of GDD since it was clearly inappropriate there. If you can't be bothered to put any thought into your threads, and are expecting them to "die quickly and quietly&qu...

I don't really think "no effort put in at all and total ignorance of the guidelines on how to make an actually worthwhile post" gets to qualify as "underdeveloped", but sure.

Please stop posting in this subforum or something?

Maybe if this was actually a good proposal for a unique other than just "it's Medusa, she casts petrify" then this discussion would be worth having at all.

It's done through vaults (the Trowel bazaar doesn't have allow_dup).

It's a misleading vault (unobtainable items, permarock, no_tele_into) but also it doesn't exist any more luckily.

Yeah, interface inconsistency in places like this is pretty common in Crawl and annoys me quite a bit. At some point I'd like to add options to force consistency for such prompts.

In case anyone checks here but not Mantis: there's a request up for some icons, one of which is needed for 0.12. The main thing that's needed is an ability icon for the cloak of the Thief's evokable fog ability (could probably just be a bigger version of the scroll of fog's icon?). The other tile is...

Sorry, I am not sure which post you are referencing to. Do you mean Ha with -10%hp is greater than Ko with -20%hp?

Yes.

(Also Shields, also what crate said).

HP is pretty great.

- If you aren't in danger of starving or in some intense fight, scum the Nemelex-only secondary gift timer. That means when you get a gift from Nemelex, wait ~400 turns before doing anything that could get you piety (sac'ing or drawing cards). At high piety, you can get several decks gifted while u...

No.

As Tenaya said, please read the sticky before posting any new threads. (On the plus side I see no reason to bother explaining why this is an obviously terrible idea since there's no attempt to give any reasoning for it in the first place).

If you're still playing 0.9, maybe (not that stacked escape decks are bad, still).

didn't someone already do this joke

And in case it's not a joke, no, stealth skill isn't the same as stealth value, and artefacts don't increase your skill.

Why would the god who hates you having allies approve of you having allies?

Honestly, rather than introducing contorted or even trivial logic into the scroll ID system, scrolls should just ID when you read them. That's the direction we're already headed, isn't it? Enchant/vorpalise weapon scrolls don't require a weapon anymore, nor do scrolls of fear require a monster in L...

Well, you went into the Lair, saw the hydra, left (good plan if there was no other way to get away from it, although you could also have possibly have killed it with wands of cold and draining), and then decided to go back in again and die by the look of it (bad plan).

I think one of the unwritten parts of Crawl philosophy is to assume that players have at least a modicum of common sense and can figure simple things out from observation.

please send help

seriously though i can't tell what's real any more

Fedhas doesn't have a problem with undead or evil things in general, just those that affect corpses (which the barding doesn't).

use unarmed, train throwing, throw wyrmbane at critically injured dragons to power it up. Continue to use it as a throwing weapon against dragons. Melee them after the toss. Or keep tossing large rocks, if you want. I don't expect this is serious advice but in case anyone was planning on actually d...

I'd definitely prefer the description change, but I guess they went with the turn the item evil and keep the description option...ah well :) Seems to contradict the crawl should be playable without spoilers idea. the item's description (ie: the +10 Black Knight's horse barding (worn) {ponderous, Hu...

I'm not sure what this example of a non-existent situation is meant to demonstrate. What kind of characters are these that "rush Firestorm" and somehow don't notice their first level in Nightstalker and then are somehow shocked when they get three levels of it later (and also how does this...

It's been down for quite a while now I think. No idea why, or if it's coming back - if s-z is too laggy I'm not sure whether CAO would be much better, unfortunately (I forget where the two US servers are though, maybe one is closer to you (edit: oh okay it says where they are on that page)).

The wiki's spell description for Apportation is five versions out of date or something. Apportation hasn't been able to make items get "lost in the void" since maybe 0.7, and what that actually meant is that if you tried to apport a stack of multiple items (arrows, bolts, large rocks, etc)...

That's the Lua that I still use, yeah. It could be added to advanced_optioneering.txt, maybe (I like the intentions of that file but it got forgotten about or nobody could think of anything new to add to it, I guess). As far as exploring to edible corpses go, there's actually a patch for it - unfort...

Um, an elephant can deal up to (20*.52 + 5 *.52) damage in a single attack to a character with 37 AC and 48% GDR. This number is definitely more than 7. My understanding was that 37 AC * 0.48 = 17 damage is removed from every attack of every monster who attacks me. That is not what GDR does at all.

You get a new attempt when you gain a star of piety or when your good god penance ends. I guess if you want to wait 1000 turns to lose a star of piety and then regain it you could do that but it doesn't sound very helpful otherwise.

Psieye wrote:Note that DD damage reduction even applies to Mak ability prices - you get Minor destruction for free and Major destruction may end up costing 0 HP too (though you still pay piety and hunger).

no it doesn't

Confuse has a higher power cap (but isn't any more likely to succeed at equal power). Confusion stabs do less damage than sleeping stabs.
