lantea.net seems to be down since yesterday, does anyone know what happened?

No rMut, no Hasting and a bunch of bad mutation throughout the extended game.

*****One time ability: The Brass Ring - forges an artifact brass ring, which combines the effect of 3 non-artifact rings in your possession. (maybe +1 negative effect from a list if this seems too OP)

Dragonslayer mutation (only available to non-draconian players): You tend to deal more damage to dragons, drakes or draconians in melee.

He'd detect Bazaars too, I guess?

Since the bazaar is a portal, I don't think he should. He would detect the shops once inside the bazaar, though.

How about adding shop detection for any shop on the level?

I don't like the current implementation of the amulet of Faith when under Gozag. At the moment, equipping it automatically reduces his prices (by 1/3?) and removing it restores the original prices. Isn't it possible for the discount to kick in gradually similar to Gourmand? And when removed to drop ...

Perfect combo. Bleed Smoke is very useful in the extended, after getting tormented. Shadow form is so great. Torment resistance, damage reduction.

http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Invisible An invisible player gets the following bonuses and penalties: -5 to their melee to-hit number if you yourself cannot see invisible. (Official justification: you can't see your weapon.) I didn't know about this provision. Which got me thinking that the official j...

Yes, I know those, but they've been very laggy recently. Don't know if due to user traffic, or simply because of my connection. Last time I played was during the tournament (won a game with 15 runes, but got killed the next :) and it was very, very slow. The old tiles.crawl.develz.org worked really ...

I have a sweet spot for Demigods, but not for spellcasters. I don't know why, but a spell-less 15-rune run is much easier for me. And how do you reduce the total game time with casters? I mean, 14 hours for this game is a lot, especially compared to a an average of around 6 hrs for a spell-less game...

The Forest is deadly.
I only go there after completing Vault:5, Elf:3 and some Depths levels.

Didn't know that. But it explains why I haven't seen any slay orc weapons recently.

Quick weapon propsal, now that the knife of accuracy is no more, along a smiliar line:

the +16, +4 war axe Thyrsus

Slay orc
rC+
SInv
Stlth+

Originally forged for an unnamed blind warrior, this axe guides your attack, drawn by the beating of your enemies hearts.

Please, honestly, this is killing me, read about the different parts of the sword before you keep calling the "hilt" and the "handle" different things. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword#Morphology I love the ideas here but good lord Yes, my mistake, I think I meant to write &qu...

From another thread: the "assemble your own weapon" thing would be interesting with dpeg's "Okawaru, god of the forge" idea. he could be the only god who can gift weapon parts. EDIT: removed quote that makes no sense. While, not familiar with the idea of a forge god, I like the c...

A while ago I was thinking on a different idea for set items, a set of armor pieces whose properties would be similar to, say, the +X cloak of ____ {Str+X, EV+X}, the +X boots of ____ {Int+X, Acc+X}, the +X gloves of ____ {Dex+X, Dam+X} where X is the number of items in the set you're currently wea...

There's a set of two swords in Warcraft that you can use separately, or glue together into one big sword. Something like that seems reasonable. So like, you'll find the +10,+0 war axe "Lefty" {chop, rF+} and the +0,+10 broad axe "Mr. Right" {chop, rC+}, and then if you find both...

I don't mind the idea of a single unrand weapon, that can be upgraded through various parts, which are not guaranteed to generate. Option 1: One unrand weapon which can be upgraded with subsequent parts. The subsequent parts can only generate, in order, if the first part is generated, but they are n...

Thanks to the kind soul who uploaded an OS X build!

Perhaps the chance to generate the first part (of a 3-part weapon) can be as low as any unrand. But once you get the first part, you are either: - guaranteed to acquire the remaining parts, which may appear on any guaranteed level (that is excluding random Pan levels and Abyss) - or you are not guar...

How feasible is it to include weapons which must be assembled to wield? I first came across this concept in the gamebook Blood Sword, and it's also been used in the game Baldur's Gate II. Basically, a weapon in 2 or 3 parts, and once they are all acquired it can be used. For example: The Blade of th...

Yes, IDing a deck each time will reveal the next card. Since I usually don't play with Nemelex, I end up wasting a lot of ID scrolls on legendary decks, especially ones of Changes or Wonder.

Step 2: Remove Monsters

The other boots I had were +1:

Code:: +1 pair of boots of Noicis {Str+3 Acc+4 Curse}

so the tradeoff is AC 8, I suppose.

OKA just handed this too me :) R - the +22 crystal plate armour "Caofeonn" (worn) {rElec rC+ MR++ Dex+1} (Okawaru gifted it to you on level 8 of the Lair of Beasts) I still cannot get over this armour. I've never seen anything like this in Crawl, didn't even know it was possible to be gen...

I really needed the extra rN+. My AC was already quite high so I didn't mind exchanging 7 AC for one level of rN+. The only other sources of rN in the entire game, apart from the ring, were the boots and the Ward amulet. And a PDA, but it wasn't really an option, since I was lacking the other basic ...

First win on 0.14, after having lost a couple of similar characters (one to Cerebov and one in the Forest). This guy was actually sporting the fabulous artifact: -7 pair of boots of the Depths {rN+} for most of Pan and all of Hell and Zot:5. He somehow misplaced his ring of regeneration in Pan, so t...

I mean, why don't orc priests chain-spam Smite? It deals good damage and works at any range. What's up with that? Are they stupid?

MP and hunger cost?

I don't mind fleeing.

Isn't this what the player does when close to dying? Why wouldn't other intelligent creatures be allowed to do the same?

I think the jellies start eating the loot as soon as you climb down the stairs if the vault walls have been removed.

I got Slimy rune immediately after finding entrance. Unfortunately I still don't understand how to do it properly - after using downstairs to Slime 6 I moved immediately to center and found my loot being eaten by jellies. From what I remember, as soon as you reach max piety, the vault walls on Slim...

Looks like he already got the rune.
But yeah, Jiyva as a first god can be frustrating.

That being said, a +slaying mut sounds hilariously powerful. Well, it would depend on the actual slaying bonus. Dam +2 for the first rank doesn't sound too much, especially if it's offset with a significant accuracy malus. The overall benefits will most probably be bittersweet, as you'd deal more d...

Clearing a Zig without any spells is doable, but very risky. Some of the levels with multiple Pan lords can be really tough.
Axes are recomended, scrolls of fog are useful as well. I've done it with a Mummy (before Cleaving was introduced) and a Hill Orc.

How about a melee counterpart to the Wild Magic mutation, we could call Slayer: Rank 1 Damage +2, Accuracy -3 Your attacks are a little deadlier, but a little less accurate. Rank 2 Damage +4, Accuracy -6 Your attacks are deadlier, but less accurate. Rank 3 Damage +6, Accuracy -8 Your attacks are muc...

Somewhere in the Orcish mines:

Code:: You see here the golden dragon corpse of Saint Roka. You finish chopping the golden dragon corpse of Saint Roka into pieces. Things that are here: a gold dragon hide; 2 chunks of golden dragon flesh

Why did you train Spellcasting up to level 26?

- If you are so bothered by your mutations, switch to Zin. Donate some cash, kill some baddies in the Abyss to get to full piety and then Cure all mutations. After that switch back to TSO.

- You don't need to train any spells.

That was really informative, however my problem is downloading and installing all these developers tools, that I am not going to use for anything else but Crawl. My workaround was to use Wineskin and run the windows build. It worked fine and took about 2 minutes to set up. - Download a Windows build...

Would it be possible to get a 0.14 build for OS X?

Only from random drops. Very rare, of course, but on average, there are one or two legendary decks (not always with Elixirs in them) in a 15-rune game.
I remember a game (not with Nemelex) when I had 4 legendary decks, with Elixir stacked in each.

From my experience, Jiyva is best played as a late-game god, after completing everything except Pan, Hells, Abyss, Tomb and Slime obviously. If you switch early, you will basically lose a lot of spell books, consumables and other items. The one YAVP I have posted here with an Octopode and late-game ...

or just play a Mummy.

I am not a native speaker, but "iron shot" doesn't necessarily mean the small pellets in shotgun ammo. If anything, those pellets are made of lead, and I don't think anyone refers to them as *iron* shots. Iron shot, also called cannonball, is the ammo that was used on ships' cannons in the...

If you had to change the species, why give them only a spellcasting perk?
I usually play Demigods pure melee, no spells.

Rune lock is fine by me.
I played a couple of characters, all Demigod Fighters, no spells, and had no problems. It is challenging, but so is the game itself.

The first char got one rune before L15, the other got two runes.

Just checked my last wins and they all have Evo at level 15 at least. I don't know why I was under the impression that legendary decks *guarantee* at least power 1.

Well, you learn all the time.

Usually I go for at least 10 but it seems I'd forgotten to turn it on this time.

You got regeneration effect I think. Was your health below 50%? If not, then you get power 0 instead of power 1. Power level 1: If you're above 50% of your maximum HP, falls back to power level 0. Otherwise, restores you to full hit points and drains your magic points to zero. http://crawl.chaosfor...
