the -3,-5 bardiche of Yclevigg {holy, Noisy MR}

That's why I hate how acquirement is now... that's what I call "holy crap". Pun intended.

Speaking about wolves, I'd rather rename that to Cave Wolves or Dire Wolves, it just doesn't fit to me lone wolves in a dungeon...

Maybe it's just my bad tactics, but my MiGls with executioner axes keep falling to ranged attackers. It's difficult to say something useful, but on my 2-H characters I tend to manouver a lot and hit heavily con scrolls of blink and teleport. Manouvering to have only 1 tile between you and the attac...

With Be and Fi I switch weapons all the time. Last DsBe I won with I started with axes and switch to long blades after I found a nice randart... and I've been plagued with Trog axe gifts all the way

I never died to Nessos. If terrain is not optimal to fight him, I usually pop in a Blink scroll and then teleport away. Let the children come to me.

This becomes a YAVP!

I confirm the bug, I tried gnome-terminal,the original xterm, lxterm and linux console, they all have SHIFT+dir not working. I'm on a macbook pro under linux, so i don't have a numpad, just using the arrow keys. I'm almost sure it's a crawl problem rather than a configuration... It seems the enums a...

If the RNG would have you dead, it would have spawned Mennas, not those wimpies...

I think having access to Temple as a portal maybe in the Vestibule and in end levels of orc, elf and Vaults should be enough.

I would rather increase starting Sh skill for fighters until we got a rebalanced Sh skill. Currently the only people using shields are spellcasters with bucklers. Something is very wrong with Sh now, I think.

Were you playing console and was he using the '&' glyph?

I see this interesting. I would say: size: random with a strong probability of being human-sized (maybe something along the curve of a 3d4, in which 5-10 is human-sized) random stats with a strong-centered curve random apts with more weight toward "natural skills" (eg. fighting, dodging, s...

I think the fault is mine here, I used a valid question as some sort of CIP, even if my current character is a legit answer to the question. By the way an admin can feel free to split, if anyone cares.

What about using X as large abominations?

Wow this thing looks wrong, +18/+18 and AC+5? Haha.

That +5AC is quite useful, this Ds seems a Mountain Dwarf in disguise

And I only have a -1 Shield...

I like this for pure summoners, but summon spells for generic wizards are going to suck this way (e.g. what happens if someone with high spellcasting and low summoning wants to summon something big)? How do you balance this with undead and Necromancy? Even if they are different, one would expect a s...

Baldu: I am not convinced. Those "oh shit" moments lead to fewer deaths than you might expect and force players to exert themselves. By Lair, everyone will have some resources available. Yes, it's this vault that led me to bring always a couple of scrolls of Fog, which in turn mean I'm pr...

Now my Wyrmbane it's a 18/18 spear now, thanks to the vast number of dragons in V8. I noticed that the bigger/dangerous the dragon, the more chance it is that the spear get a bonus. I still enchanted the demon trident of draining to fight stuff vulnerable to the brand. As I lost clarity to a !cmut, ...

Don't take it wrong, but it seems to me overly complex and involves micromanagement...

How would this be different from a web irc client, apart from requiring websockets (which don't support the most widespread proxy configurations) and not supporting talking in the channel?

Weak sickness barely has any effect - you just wait it go out. I believe this is the main reason we have nausea instead of sickness now. Would sickness plus poison be significant? You won't be able to regenerate while poisoned, so maybe at lower levels it would be significant. But it would be simpl...

graffen69 wrote:4. How much noise does the new “lightning rod” do and is it affected in any way by any skill?

All rods are affected by Evocations. Noise is fixed.

@crate I think you got me wrong. I mean it's possible to allow holding v while attacking, making it work similar to the ctrl-dir command. I'm no expert but I vaguely remember that standard keyboards (not gaming ones) are limited in the number of simultaneous keys they detect, and that the ones whic...

What's the extended command?

# is the command to use to get a character dump... so I see no problem here.

Once a skill is introduces as a skill, everybody has that. That's why Artificers are so "weak", Evocations can't have "special abilities" to compensate because everyone can have 27 Evocations in theory. You could recycle the proposal for a God of Alchemy (deities cat give special...

I'd be using wyrmbane over the draining trident. It can go up to +18 +18 if you kill lots of dragonkin. I'm using it against dragons and dragon undeads. Now it's +12/+12 and it seems that it don't go up anymore unless there are very dangerous dragons involved, which means I should wait until I feel...

In the end I acquired Armour in hope to replace my corroded buckler an this came out:

I'm not sure about the new rune vaults in the Abyss, but in 0.10.x that's true.

Nothing really useful in the trove, just:

That would be OP.

I don't think so. The weapon is so weak (except maybe for the first levels) that you'd want to move on. The fact that it's not dependable makes it a nice Xom item, but no more I think.

About Crazy Yiuf, I would see this as nice unrandart:

Quarterstaff of Infinite Chaos +4/+4 quarterstaff (Chaos)
Whenever the wielder inflicts damage, it blinks him or her. Can be eVoked to obtain the effect of a Wand of random effects. Yes, indefinitely.

And for an Orc Warrior with a vanilla halberd to do 24 damage in a shot, he has to roll well, but not exceptionally so...

Trying to make every character survive makes the early game much more interesting. This. When I started doing this I really started liking the game. Not only this, but also trying to save that hopeless randomized wanderer teach you some tricks up your sleeve for some other more promising character....

Yes, I know. I only asked if this should be an exclusion or if it's intended.

Because it's my least favorite part of this game, and any other game that has it. I hate it when I get a good fun run going and then lose it and have to go do another 15 shitty runs and boring early game just to get another good run going.

My proposal of M&F against shields would lead eventually to a breaking of the shield (and maybe some sort of "corrosion" effect)

I was not saying it's a bug, only asking if it is.
So Trog gifts other non-artifact enhancing staves?

I got the staff of Olgreb two games in a row back in 0.5. The evocation is useful for berzerkers. Trog gives weapons outside of your skill all the time. I don't think it's a bug.
