"next to no effort"
"willing to spend a good half hour on it"

does. not. compute.

like you purposely chose an old stock photo with no exif data and no existing tineye reference.

Anything that makes using axes in a crowd more desirable is ...desirable.

In the long run, no it doesnt matter. In the early game tho, every point counts. So why do it, summoners are not OP in the early game, and as Sar points out, you just push players away from the school on eventually false pretenses.

You pay for that with tedium. And conjurerers are quite powerful for that matter.. as are melee-dudes. Nobody else has to lose xp for killing dudes with the skill set they choose to put points into.

Wake up from this nightmare.

Doors are great and add an interesting dimension to the game. I like being able to lock in unintelligent or handless enemies. I like that other wandering monsters may very well release those enemies later. I like getting a face full of centaur arrows and knowing I can duck behind a door and that sob...

Dude. Have you ever even tried to close a door on an arrow, honestly??

Remove hippogriffs. Or at least give them a fun and interesting mechanic like they blink around and eat your permafood, and call them "death hippogriffs".

You're such a god damn hippogrite, Lasty.

maprot and some enemies having their tiles replaced by statues or fountains You begin hallucinating food. A bread ration comes into view. It is wielding a fruit. The bread ration roars! The bread ration mumbles a few words. The beef jerky misses you. The beef jerky hits you! You resist. You crush t...

thematically, the restriction was because helmets would slip off their soft and slippery heads.
mechanics-wise, it was because octopodes weren't quite horrendously weak enough as it was

I dont actually have any good ideas (which is apparently a prerequisite), I just wanted to get in on the party. Whhheeeres the paaarty?

Tell us more about your wife's burrito.

Typically you have more than enough resists in a game to trivialize all but the worst situations. Often if you are missing a key resist, even a moderate situation will end up being highly likely to kill you if you arent tediously careful. It's a lose-lose situation from a design perspective. I would...

It happens more than you would think.

No, dowan, the rune lock was introduced to force people to get a rune before going to vaults, a task it accomplishes very well. I still don't like it, but it definitely succeeds in that narrow mission, which is essentially to force people to do a rune vault at XL15-17. The vault lock forces people ...

yeah but who has the patience for all those tedious messages and/or actions?

yesno wrote:You are right blowguns totally suck Mods always nerf everything good absolutely no reason to use them now they are total garbage hahahahaha hah hahaha hahah

Shhh..

daggaz: I think it's okay that needles require some modest skill investment. As far as I understand the idea is that if you're a non-As and come across some early needles, then you may train the skill for a bit until you can use needles to kill ogres, orc warriors like you could before. We will see...

Hmm.. any reason not to just tie blowgun skill with your chance of actually hitting the target, rather than the effectiveness of the needle? Or if you want, a combination of both but let needles remain fairly effective as a baseline, and increase in deadliness as your aim goes up, meaning poison nee...

a Knockback ability on a weapon would rarely be bad (as in Knocks the target back without following them, not moving with them, like trample). If by "rarely" you mean "any time you are attacking something that has a dangerous ranged attack that you would much rather melee, which happ...

Most crocodiles (there are many species) in real life are much stronger than alligators (only two species, american and chinese) , although and many tend to be much less more aggressive and therefore kill more people over the course of many years, although of course one needs to normalize for both ...

So today an acquisition scroll gave me a vanilla animal skin. That did put a smile on my face. I know one can acquire 'worse' things; artifacts with negative egos, contaminate and whatnot - but I really can't think of anything crapper. There aren't any naked starts are there? So it was something no...

You guys. This thread is about adding lions.

There should be giant ant lions in lair.
And a new unique The Lion King.

I just splatted a DsGl of Mahk who had the powered by death mut. 18 pot of HW, not counting the 2 or 3 I used in Shoals5, and I didnt even have a wand. Man... I cant believe that Ice Fiend frosted me that fast

Why in the world do you list menkharewhatever as "dangerous and likely to kill other uniques"???

Google exit bag. And instead of extrapolating from everest incidents which carry a host of complicating factors, you can just google oxygen deprivation limits.

Stay out of Snake 5.

I'd go for the gloves. Its nice to get sInv on an offslot (you will want to upgrade from the scimitar at some point, and horns3 means you cant even wear a wizard hat), and your AC is already pretty high so missing the 2 from enchantable gloves isnt going to kill you. Besides you dont even have glove...

Can we please get back OT here people? Where are the Mods anyways? Lair needs lions. And giraffes, and troops of baboons, and I cant f-ing believe there are no hippopotami, considering they are number two on the list of most dangerous animals after mosquitos, not counting man, both of which can be f...

I think it would make more sense if you went thru some cummulative phases:

irritability
berserkitis
maprot and some enemies having their tiles replaced by statues or fountains
attribute damage and hp rot (cancels berserkitis)
organ damage and in worst cases, organ failure
paralysis
coma
death

Early game already too early. Is stupid, obvious.

Wait you actually play Crawl?

Thats how you conserve piety/turncount. Not sure if there is fix, other than just hitting any button to stop explore, and then hitting five again.

Remove food.
Remove abyss.

"I'm sure I'll find a portal out of this shit-hole pretty soon, then I can get back to playing Crawl."

Moar crawl memes!!!

You might say she was _distressingly_ furry..

I think Krakens should start to show up in small areas of water as you get deeper into Depths. Kind of like that thing in Fellowship of the Ring. Seems a shame to limit a cool monster like that to sometimes loading Shoals.

That fuckin octopode with the bling necklace :lol:

Can you LRD them when they are locked btw?

Why wouldn't it have freeze as well as freezing cloud?? Especially considering the cloud effect is only a percentage on hits. You would likely outdamage that thing with a +9 executioners of freezing you made yourself.

You want annoying? How about a worthless little monster that almost never poses any threat, but regenerates AND blinks, on top of having some heavy resistances to common early sources of damage. Please, why dont you just gouge my fucking eyeballs out. It's like the Devs want the players abuse stairs...

You say that like it is a bad thing =D

Generally if you have 10+ pots of heal wounds, you dont need them. It happens.

Only newbies and people who are probably going to die anyhow because of early adders getting lucky and no !cure do the quaff-ID thing. As for 'making the player stronger', that is rather weak argument considering OP outlined specifically how the addition of choice-inducing potions creates situations...

If there is a single skill that is better than all the other skills regardless of your build, it is fighting.

By the time you get into the midgame, you should have a lot more fighting. Get it at least to 14.

They always come in packs. Next time, toss a cloud, you cant miss and you will likely catch more than one in it.

My only beef with FE or any other book start is why it should start with less INT than Wz. Because reasons?
