What is the Str Weight for unarmed? Can't find it anywhere on the wiki or kb. Also looked through the code and the only thing I could find was a reference to it not being as close to DEX as devs would have liked to balance it out for the STR heavy races like trolls. Also, does either DEX or STR play...

Although having your starting potion replaced with a bottle of vodka does come in handy.

Why does my character have hitpoints given as <current>/<maximum>, followed by <maximum> + 20% or so in parentheses? Effects of degeneration of some kind (not sure exactly what causes, someone else may be able to help). The number in parens is your true max. If you quaff Healing/Heal Wounds potions...

Looked at other piles, didn't find it. Wiki also indicates it destroys anything on the tile.

EDIT: Tested in wiz-mode and everything dropped on the floor at my feet, nothing was destroyed. This in .10.

Even though you went into the Labyrinth with 4 meats, 2 breads, and some various fruit... You'll still barely make it through alive, have to melee the minotaur with nothing but a potion of agility on an OpVM due to starvation, then make a mad dash back through the floor crawling with bad guys you ca...

I've come across Mennas (only time I've met him actually) on Snake 3. Only way I was able to get away was to keep running away until his silence bubble reduced and pop a tele scroll.

Worn -2 WizHat. Might want to take it off. iirc That will be enough to reduce your AC.

Don't try and use-identify decks while standing near your stash.

Lost 3 piles of stuff when I got the wall card. Luckily it wasn't anything I was planning on using, just assorted junk I picked up that I didn't want monsters getting their hands on.

Snagged a DWoFreezing off Mara, and I've now got a +8,+7 Demon Whip of Freezing

In your face, Trog.

Why do I have the feeling that I"ll be getting a DWoElec from Trog in the very, very near future?

I've only got 1 or 2 of the EWI and a butt load of the EW II hehe. Guess I'll just keep it as is and keep hoping for a better brand, contrary to what Mr. No-Humor up there thinks is the way to enjoy the game.

Should I just go ahead and dump the enchant scrolls into the venom whip then?

You do realize that venom is one of the best early-game brands, don't you? It loses its luster in the endgame when most dangerous enemies are immune, but it deals far more damage in the early- or mid-game than any of the common multiplicative brands do. The only demon whips better for a berserker u...

Damn you Trog!

Just found this for sale lol...

Yep... sounds about right.

It's pretty much my reinterpretation of the walkthrough from the Crawl Wiki. Not that I used it for reference or anything, I didn't.

There is a walkthrough? lol

Yep there it is, the only link on the wiki page that isn't purple

Here's what I do: Do Dungeon and complete any vaults/portals till you find Lair Do Lair and alternate Lair/Dungeon if Lair gets too tough. Do Dungeon till you find Hive if you haven't found it. Complete Lair. Complete Hive if you have rPois, otherwise do Dungeon till you find Vaults. Alternate Vaul...

I usually combine auto and manual. First few levels are all auto if I'm sure I can take everything but an invis Sigmund (invis is the only time he ever kills me). Once I start hitting a point where I feel I might be threatened regularly I'll manual scout down each stair case, manually scout the area...

Not sure how things are setup on yours. I built from git so here is where the file is located for me, your's probably won't be in the same location... ~/src/stone_soup/crawl/crawl_ref/settings/tiles_options.txt (settings folder is in the same folder as source on mine) About 2/3 of the way through th...

I didn't even realize that Tiles had a problem on Linux Ubuntu. Running 11.04 32b with a git build of Crawl from about a week and a half ago. It defaulted to windowed mode and I've had no problems at all. Minimized the resolution. On a 24.5" screen with a 4870 using the fglrx drivers. Hope my i...

So I started up a demigod gladiator just to mess around, see what I could do, how far I could get, you know. I found a suit of gold dragon armor on D2. Great. How do I handle this, guys, how should I handle it!?!? Stash it, pump armor and str. Pick up Ring/Chain/Scale/Splint etc. to help train your...

Ya. I thought about blinking, but only thought about my mutation uncontrolled blink. Did a mental inventory, will have to remember to do a physical inventory next time lol. At any rate, I think that I've gotten past the problems I was having and in the future I'll post up CiP if I need help on anyth...

Does Crazy Yiuf really count as a unique? I mean... even the first time I came across him as a diaper wearing noobie (I'm in pull-ups now) all I did was laugh at him and his hammer collection while whooping his butt like he's a red headed step child that ate dad's last Twinkie.

Shit... scrolling through the dump. I probably could have burned all 3 blink scrolls to get far enough away to have a chance to tele. **shakes fist**

Got gang banged by some liches and ancient liches, couldn't get the teleport off in time. They ate 3 BiA for breakfast spammed summons and had me for a light snack before lunch :( So close... I shouldn't have gotten greedy and just left as soon as I saw the liches. FWIW Here is my char dump. Dungeon...

Yep, whenever I'm about to ID a Trog gift I think... "Crap"... low and behold... its crap.

Plus, I always know something is going to be cursed right before I ID-wear it.

Crawl hates you. You should know this by now

I was in your shoes not too long ago. Could barely get to Temple. Then I worked past it and could get to Lair/Orc but not past. Now I've got 3 runes and prepping for my first journey into Zot! Use your consumables, don't try to save them. Throw stuff at bad guys. Learn how to use the skill training ...

I apparently was just lucky this time. I'll know for next time though lol. Thanks for the advice to do Crypt before Elf

Yet Another Stupid Noob wrote:Ah, that would be why. You can still select them as a race if you use random race, but you cannot select a class.

Since I am a wimp that uses tiles, does that mean I am out of luck for a while?

Not sure of all the options, but I pull from git and compile. I'm running .10 on tiles.

I didn't have any trouble in HoB. Maybe just luck lol I did only fight one blade at a time though. I've cleared the following: D:22, Lair:8, Orc:4, Shoals:5, Swamp: 5, Hive:2, HoB, Vault:8. I did run into a metric shit-ton of Shadow Dragons in the vault which kept sucking away all my damn XP. Visiti...

That is at least 4 orcs and a troll all dead by blade trap lol.

Alright, now what the F am I supposed to do with these three Runes?!

Appreciate the advice

Went and cleared the hall of blades for a tidy 35% XP at XL20 while waiting for someone to come by and point me in the right direction!

Little update on my progress. Got 2 runes so far on my latest MiBe.... Dude is a beast. Trog gave him some Holy Mace with pretty strong stats: +5,+5 mace of Brilliance {god gift, holy, rN+, AC+5 Int+5 SInv Stlth-} It has a halo effect like the Zin/Shining One (can't remember which) which is pretty c...

Odds are pretty good your big square is a vault of some kind, but the smaller squares are probably nothing. No guarantees either way. I know the level he is talking about. I searched every possible spot on the wall as a mummy and never found a way in... also remember seeing another post somewhere s...

Is it better to scout all three downstairs before exploring a new level, but risk getting into a situation where you can't escape an enemy that was right next to the stairs. Or is it better to only go down one staircase, minimizing the chance you will be stuck next to a monster, but reducing the num...

The Square's gameplay is radically different from that of other classes. The Square sets up house on D:1 and never goes any deeper. Why bother risking yourself when the soothing sounds of Kenny G and Yanni played at full volume from the speakers of a Volvo can penetrate 30 dungeon levels. Mass Conf...

Great inspiration for my TrMo builds, thanks for sharing

Ya, I already have access to the entrances for Snake/Shoals... I'm not going to do Slime so I figure I'll just forget about going deeper in Lair. Not usually much down there anyways other than some exp.

I got my first GDA too... just lying around on the L:3 - How careless of someone lol most likely somebody who donned it right there, without realizing that it will cripple the fighting abilities if not worn with a high armour skill and sufficient strength. Ya... I found out the hard way when I trie...

Well, I'm able to reliably get down to and clear Lair (assuming I don't fall victim to the "one more hit and its' dead" mindset lol) with MiBe. I got my first GDA too... just lying around on the L:3 - How careless of someone lol

You didn't pop a blink instead of a tele... did you?

They will be when the new Hippie class gets implemented in trunk. The Hippie will gain powers from drugs and other discombobulating items. That's all cool (man) but the new class I'm looking forward to most is The Square. Building a nuclear family, working a 9-to-5, wearing office clothes... now th...

Awesome, very next game... first two rings - Poison Resist and See Invis... **shakes fist**

And again, add potions of see things!

Couldn't you just wait until corpses start growing shrooms then harvest them?

From what I remember reading the timer is 3000 turns. After that you start getting much tougher monsters, if you can kill them then the dungeon just eventually stops spawning monsters on that level. Found this out the first time I played a mummy and had a catoblepas spawn on D:1 at ~3500 turns. EDIT...

You'll need Organic Food Stores too... cost 3x as much and rots like chunks.
