Sif is a pretty weak god, but it doesn't bother me. The real problem of Sif is the user interface of his/her channeling ability. A simple solution would be to transform it into a duration, like Trog's Hand, that can be activated and deactivated, like a ring of flight.

rPois was not buffed vs. venom bolt:

In 0.14, venom b. did 50% damage 90% of the times, and 100% damage 10% of the times: 0.5*0.9+1*0.1=0.55 avg. damage

In 0.15, venom b. does 33% damage 66% of the times, and 100% damage 33% of the times: 0.33*0.66+1*0.33=0.5478 avg. damage

I would forget Fire Storm, and learn Venom Bolt and Poisonous Cloud. PC is a very good spell. Venom Bolt is not so good, but you don't have Bolt of Fire and unlike Fireball it doesn't make too much noise. OTR is useful in Spider, but you already have enough levels of Poison Magic. I would train Long...

Actually, they already are. There aren't any monsters that cast enchantments with spellpower > 125 (78 after stepdown). Players with 178 MR are immune.

You should learn how to use branches. They will solve all your problems. Branches are like different versions or variants of a project, but only one of them can be active at the same time (e.g. the current files in your hd belong to that branch). Each time you commit some changes to a project, they ...

The exact formula is: dodging = (body_armour_encumbrance_rating-3)*200/(Str*Dex) - 7/Dex The term 7/Dex can be easily ignored, and it becomes: (body_armour_encumbrance_rating-3)*200/(Str*Dex) where you can see that Str and Dex have the same effect (no need for rare cases). In any case, you don't nee...

The wiki has the semantic mediawiki extension installed, which can generate lists of pages with the same value for a certain property. For example, this is the list of monsters with HD 5: http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Special:SearchByProperty?title=Special:SearchByProperty&property=Hit+dice&va...

1. Slimify
2. gauntlets of War

So what I need to have explained is: are wands useful (as attacking weapons; teleport, healing, etc all good) and if so, how high should I raise evocations? Yes. 0 is fine. Would it be that much of a negative thing if I have something like an Orc with -3 spellcasting and 0 necromancy? They are canc...

They don't drain your MP when you're invisible, right? Actually they can employ their gaze attacks on you and drain your MP even if they can't see you, however they have to 'guess' at your position if they don't already know it. They can't. See the first few lines of mon_nearby_ability in mon-abil....

Yesterday, my HuFi of Fedhas got Margery inside the vault of the gossamer rune. The vault was the one with several concentric layers and 3 emperor scorpions and 3 ghost moths at the center. Margery had the sword of Jihad, so she didn't cast spells too much. As usual, one of her hell knights had a de...

I would have polymorphed myself again. The other forms are pretty awful too but at least they can move. rMut (even in mutation form) does nothing against polymorph; another reason MR is by far the most important resistance in the game. Flun added that trick to the wiki a few weeks ago, and I think ...

Bh removed stat gains in the commit 2d3c772b. Probably a mistake.

No. That robe of the archmagi is very good for your character.

In general: Try all the leather armours the orcs left for you. You will always find something better than TLA.

If you cast summon butterflies, stone giants will run out of ammo very soon. After that, you can easily kill them without taking any damage.

This reminds me that the interaction between trapdoor spiders and conjure flame is still weird. Currently, you can just lure the spider into the cloud and then press "." a couple of times until it dies. You won't take any damage while the flame is doing its job.

grunt_profane_halls can place orbs of fire on D:27.

It seems that it can't run util/art-data.pl. Perhaps the partition is mounted with noexec. Take a look at /etc/fstab.

Well, if the first levels of the boost are very easy to gain and the last ones are very hard, it doesn't sound so bad. The player will enjoy about the same bonus he currently enjoys. Prevent players from over-engineering the mechanic (like using subpar weapons for attack) by having Heroism boost onl...

Another fun way of playing SpJr: chaos-stabbing!

BlackSheep wrote:It's odd, both reapers and soul eaters that appear because of a mummy death curse are marked as summoned on screen, but don't ever seem to flinch away.

Soul eaters have very good MR, and reapers are immune to magic.

Good combo. The -3 to Conj. doesn't matter. Are you using automatic training? That's a big mistake. You should disable all your skills except one. Right now, you should be training Stabbing, so you can kill sleeping monsters in a single hit. ~7 levels in Stabbing is good. Your hunger status should b...

EH has an additional stepdown. If you are playing an Enchanter, Confuse will be more likely to succeed.

Most of the time, I do learn Confuse before EH.

I have seen three mistakes in your code: 1) The value stored in journal is not saved. The best solution is to remove that variable and mummyspacing. Do something like this: switch(you.experience_level) { case 4: ... break; case 8: ... break; ... } 2) You should increment your skills using the functi...

Well, most ideas in GDD are quite bad. IMO a good idea for a race should be something very simple, which is focused on a mechanism of game. The most recent race added to the game, octopodes, is a good example of this. Anyway, I think this is the minimum amount of changes required to create a basic r...

I think the only effect of skills on Vehumet gifts is that having one elemental skill higher than the opposing school makes you less likely to get gifts of the opposing school (but the remaining three will still have equal weight). Pretty small. That code confuses me though so I'm really only going...

It is a good approximation to the current system and it only has one parameter, base_delay. The best proposal so far.

It would be good to find a function that doesn't have a breakpoint but approximate the current system more closely. A cautious approach would be to keep the current system and randomize the minimum delay so we have a fuzzy breakpoint. The current model is: min_delay = is_short_blade? 5 : min(base_d...

Banishment: Spellpower is 16 + Invocations*8. Max spellpower is 100. This is reached when Invocations=(100-16)/8=10.5 Corruption: Spellpower is 300 + Invocations*15. Max spellpower is 705. Corruption of level features doesn't depend on spellpower. The amount of monsters generated depends on how many...

It could be this one: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5738

Use this:

mi-enum.h has the list of flags you can check with "is".

I have played several characters until Lair with the new branch (HuFi, 2xHuGl, and HaGl). This is what I have observed: ⋅ High strength is probably too good on the first levels of the dungeon. Despite this, I like this change a lot. Raising strength is now a very good choice. ⋅ ...

Man, newnewvaults is a huge improvement. Thanks!

There is also a question you haven't asked: how long does it take for the stealth game to reset (i.e. things to fall asleep again)? I estimate it to be thousands of aut, but I'd appreciate a more definitive answer. From _catchup_monster_moves (effects.cc): // After x turns, half of the monsters wil...

This can be a good idea (something rare in GDD) for a fixed artifact. Probably, an artifact related to Elyvilon.

It's pretty obvious that the vault is at the bottom. Do a controlled teleport. And report the bug.

That was true before 0.8.

With MaxMP=50 and Evoc=27, the chance of success when you only have 12 MP is the same chance you have with 40+ MP

Solved. I was overriding that setting in another place.

Is there a way to avoid the interruption of autotravel each time a web trap is found?

I have added this to my init.txt, but it does nothing:

Code:: runrest_ignore_message += You found a web trap!

In Firefox, right click the bookmark and select properties. Now you can add a keyword.

In the location bar, type the keyword followed by your query.

This is what the bots use: http://s-z.org/neil/git/?p=monster-trunk.git;a=summary. To compile it, you will need to copy the source code of crawl under its tree, so you have a monster-trunk/crawl-ref/crawl-ref/source directory, and install python 2.
