The most important thing is that it dies before it eats my delicious shinies. I carry stones in the early dungeons until I have a wand instead.

I may have read it wrong, but according to the KB on Regeneration linked above, regen should take several turns to grant 1HP for most characters. However, it always provides 1HP per turn. Could it be rounded up each turn?

# Hostile demon summon notification force_more_message = You don't feel so good about this... force_more_message = It doesn't seem very happy. I add the above to init.txt. I find it can be very easy to miss a hostile in a crowd. Hahaha, when I read this I had a mental image of the creature appearin...

I don't see the problem here. When I run into a group of gnolls and a gnoll sergeant, that in itself is interesting. Because I almost never see them. It doesn't need to have a special ability or dangerous spells, it's just nice to see a little variety. For me, I just assume that it's a gnoll leading...

Hey guys, leave him alone. Out of depth stuff IS really frustrating, he's just venting. He'll learn that it's a normal thing in time.

Just going to toss this out here.

I have 500.00, post GST of 13%. How do I figure out the original amount, pre-GST? I learned how to do this once in a math course, but I cannot remember any more.

You're all clever fellows (and fellowettes), so don't disappoint me.

I don't usually catch sarcasm even when it's done properly. You know. With words and intonation. So that you can tell it's sarcasm.

Could replace some users of Paralyze with a new ability, Stun. Has a chance to prevent you from taking a turn when afflicted with it, can be cured by potions of curing and naturally wears off in a few turns. This sounds a lot like Zin's Daze. I'd say that status could stand to be used more often. I...

I don't see why everyone stresses out so much over chunks. I just eat whatever chunks are around whenever I can eat them, obviously preferring uncontaminated chunks but I've really never had a problem with nausea affecting game play. Occasionally it will force me to eat a ration but there is plenty...

Ah, that answers all my questions. I had figured that they were used for dispersing (thanks minmay, I would never have known!) but they seemed to hardly ever actually work. If you have to deal at least 1 damage with them it explains it, though, since sometimes they did hit but nothing happened. What...

Best use for these? I somehow have 99!

It would have resisted. I tryed in wizmode, with 20 evocation it took me 10 charges to polymorph it (in an azure jelly). On another try at 25 evo, 8 times before an iron troll. So yeah, mostly a waste, or the chance to get something worse. Isn't that usually how it works? If it even works it'll be ...

It was the long blade in the end, since I was gifted a shiny buckler of wonder awhile later. I died to a ghoul and his friends later on (Yred wrath)

The +0 helm of Instinct.
It lets me Blink.
It lets me Levitate.
It protects me from Poison.
It lets me See Invisible!

I love it!

I saw a Catoblepas... I looked at my Wand of Polymorph Other, bit my lip, and decided not to try it.

What do you suppose might have happened?

TwilightPhoenix wrote:So what happens if you're wearing plate with just enough strength to do so and sickness/mutations take your strength below that amount?

Currently, you just whimper a little and hope to regain lost stats, or mutate it away. Jivya likes to do this with stat shuffling.

Ah... I don't know how to have more than one at once. But it wouldn't matter. If I spend too much time (two days or more) away from a character I forget all about it. It's my failure for having a memory like that.

-overwhelmed- I don't find Spriggans easy at all, because I loathe fleeing from my enemy. If it attacks me, it simply has to die. All those critters wandering the Dungeon are just delicious exp. snacks after all! I play Demonspawn almost exclusively~ the huge issue with them is that they're pretty g...

Comparing weapons for the first time, for me. +6, +3 Longsword of Draining (1/10, above average) vs. +3, +1 Great Sword of Electrocution (-3/16, average) Details in parentheses are base weapon stats and my speed while wielding each. It's only a competition because my game doesn't have shields. It ju...

I think I might be the only person that didn't start the game as a Spriggan, that doesn't use Spriggans, and that doesn't LIKE Spriggans. I hate the little nasties. I guess they're great if you like to run away, but I kill everything that opposes me. Or back off a bit, then return and kill it. I'm g...

That would be demon horde. Okay that was a bad joke

That's basically the same as starting as a Chaos Knight. Xom will surround you by D5 or earlier.

I appreciate all of the statistics, and now think of casting Haste as surrounding myself with helpful numbers.

Hiya. I'd like some examples of Haste in action in various situations (melee, ranged, magic) because I want to understand the benefits better. So, do what you can.

This topic is kind of... really old. The previous posts may not be applicable any more, and the opinions of the posters may have changed.

Favorite?

Jessica.

Doesn't matter what level, what skills, what race, she's DEAD ON SIGHT.

She did kill me once. Just once. And I felt like trash.

Do curare needles disallow monsters that aren't aware of your presence yet from shouting when they are hit? (so you can safely pull one without waking up all the others) No, but it is a perfectly sensible enhancement request. I would like to see it live![/quot On that note, it would be nice to have...

Skyrim... If I wasn't playing it on PC I would probably hate it. I'll be picking up every difficulty mod I can once they start pouring in. I already have one to slow skillgain. I don't want to end up doing some alchemy and having no combat stats after leveling three times from crafting... Alchemy is...

So, about Evocations. It's a skill I've more or less neglected most of my Crawl career up to this point. I'm a little more interested in it now since after putting a few levels into it I noticed auto-ID for wands occasionally, which is immensely tactically useful. I'm wondering, when is the skill go...

rPois does not mean that Nessos won't still shoot holes through you. Burny holes.

Scrolls of Fog or similar effects don't work well against him, since he just quickly gets around them.

Yeah, Jivya is really only for strategic removal of bad mutations. Me: "Awesome, unique Jivya mutation that isn't pseudopods! Here jelly, have another of my precious shinies." Jivya burbles happily. ---200 turns later--- Me: "Aaaaand, it's gone. As well as my Controlled Translocation....

I absolutely agree. For some reason I just love being fully suited. I also pick up and wear gauntlets over gloves... they just feel cooler.

It's an interesting idea overall. How about Sleepiness instead attempt to put all conscious targets to sleep over three turns with a fair at best chance each turn? Could rename to Drowsiness as well. Not a bad idea for a god, especially as there is no piety decay over time but chances to lose piety ...

"Better advice to go for Xom" is not a sequence of words that has any right to exist.

For a moment, Xom was delighted!

My last few games if I've run into Grinder too early it was instant death. I remember him being able to paralyze, but he seems to do it nonstop now. Was something changed, or could it be that he spams the spell when he doesn't have a wand? The three times I've had problems with him he had not zapped...

We have to see this. Octopode Jelly Knight for maximum monster traumatization.

I've been trying to use a DSCK (read: Desk) for awhile now, just for fun. Seems like Xom >WILL< at some point in your early levels summon several hostile demons and you will die. It has always happened to me while he was in no particular mood. I could understand if he was BORED, but it's just random...

Sideways toaster for grilled cheese does not work. Unless you're trying to make a poor man's fog machine and set off the fire alarm. Try leaving the cheese slice out until it's unpleasantly soft, then toasting the bread, then putting it on the bread and pressing it together firmly. Not quite the sa...

Hmm... can we just have moar scrolls overall? >:D?

Thanks for the response. Actually, I don't have many problems with conservation. It's annoying, but it's just something that's going to happen. This was an idea thread in response to minmay's thread.

I apologise. Guess I'm not allowed to carry the black torch for a fortnight. Yredelemnul, Yredelemnul, Yredelemnul, Yredelemnul, hear your desperate servant! Will you accept the sacrifice of another species? Seriously, I found Yredelemnul much easier to remember than Kikubaaqudgha. The latter I onl...

This is not constructive criticism. Just saying it's not going to work without any of your thought behind it is worthless.

There is no reason to remove Detect Curse just because some people don't use it. I use them whenever I pick up a new item, and I usually try to pick up multiple unidentifed items first for maximum use. There have been many times when I have not found Remove Curse, and I like the niche Detect Curse p...

I've made a separate post with some ideas that might help with this issue in this same forum. Take a look!

If I have it, I cast Corona on Siggy at first sight, with great glee.

I thought Jivya was now supposed to tweak stats in a slightly more intelligent matter? Instead of taking my Minotaur's strength under 10 and dex to 25? Because that happened, and it was terrible.
