Unless someone stole his playername for the Tavern, I'd think this a pathetic way of trolling in this forum.

If it is around 50% odds centaurs being a hunter, I'd like to know what are the statistics of centaurs not using bows at all

What's "Independece"?

Your just received your very first 'thank you'.

In my current game (KoMo) I had to leave this thing in the shop: [Depths:3] the cursed +11 greatsling "Fraafil" {speed, rElec rPois rF+ rC+ MR+ Dex+3} (1776 gold) I dare to say this is very close of being the best sling ever generated. Looking at the price tag, a better name for this slin...

Immolation strategy followed by mapping and cTeleporting OR scroll-blinking is nowadays the best way to go imo. Stairdancing is good as long as no warden shows up ,depending on the char of course. You (and escpecially the shouting guards) are gonna create noise no matter what you'll do. If you're no...

Well, rElec is pretty good there if I'm concerning giving advice for somewhat novice players. As in OP:s case, gargoyle, yes it does not make much sense. But.. No one of us wants to write 'Complete Elf Guide' here, so.. I'll give up. Just don't do fucking Elf. Okay? It kills you. I will do it. In al...

If you do not know how to deal with hellfire attacks then do not do the Elf, then. You're gonna have deal with that in Zot:1-5 where there are similar draconians as DE high priests and DE sorcerers. Elf branch has the problem of having -cTele, draconians have that advantage only in Zot:5. Of course ...

Not fixed yet (on CSZO at least).

You remove your ring of stealth. Magic restored.
You feel agile.
G - a +11 ring of dexterity (left hand)

Minor things to remember dealing with hellfire in Elf:3: Deep Elf High Priest WILL blast you with a hellfire burst, even if you are next to it. That guy doesn't care if he commits a suicide doing so even though his hellfire is smite-targeted. Deep Elf Sorcerer WILL NEVER use it's hellfire attack if ...

Two questions for you guys who know the numbers/code:

1. Can manuals appear on D:1 or is there minimum dlvl (never seen one very early)?

2. When playing with Trog, does book acquirement give completely random manual or is it weighed somehow?

Not an essential info. I'm asking just out of curiosity.

You're asking here what is the easiest way to go (before finding an altar). Conjurer has a Searing Ray. That is an earlygame spell that kills just about everything. Getting battlesphere even at 25% rate is enough if you can do the stairdance. Summoner has Summon Imp and later Summon Ice Beast. If yo...

I'd totally go UC on CeMo, have you actually played that? Yeah sticky, you have a good point. UC centaur is powerful. Still, I tend to look for some melee weapon for Ce. Coz basically i will get the first shortbow playing any Ce (if i want to win) i can find and start training for Bows and that sai...

Time to change Mennas tile imo

Current tile is not menacing enough compared to this one. Especially now that this fearsome angel can appear in Pan.

Depending of race, monk does not want to go unarmed the whole game

Try centaur, spriggan or an ogre.

Videos titled 'lets play' are good as served for tutorials. If a one player gets a glimpse by this post, how early-game death happens, then this post has served its purpose. But they are in no way a good guide plowing through this game. Gordon has some good ADOM runs in tube (i have actually seen on...

Or rather, why don't you start with a good book background?

Wasn't this about Vine Stalker monk? It is even easier than VSFi. Gl might be better than Mo during the earlygame and As most certainly is.

VSMo.. I don't know if this is universally good advice coz i'm no good at battle mathematics: I would fight unarmed for some time (while fighting being the only skill on) and hoping of finding a good weapon. But how long, that depends on the loot you find. Vine Stalker Monk is a very versatile combo...

Negation Form. Gives you rN+, rCorr, Dmsl, Shroud and ranged antimagic attacks.

Never seen it before.

This almost made me ask the same question.

Reading Anthony Bourdain just does not make me hungry. Quite the opposite.

I'm fucking a hippie girl and eating some snakes. I'm better than my brother.

Got his book as a christmas present 10 years ago. Not inspirational. Not funny. Burned it.

Thanks to the ability to dig walls of Formicid, they have a easy time in Snake Pits. Snake:5 rune vaults are made of stone walls so digging ability does not help much there. Making killing hole near the entrance is helpful in some layouts but slowness compromises that pretty early. For example in t...

Just create CheiWiki and keep going on and on there how bad god he is.

Wiki is considered bad because it is not (and cannot be) 100% accurate and not every 'tips and tricks' are documented. It still is a pretty good source of basic information.

Bury me for saying this.

I think your mistake was entering the dungeon.

I'm still learning and you should too. For me, the other alternative was playing ADOM.

I'd rather die on DCSS.

So, an orc wizard picked up one halberd of freezing from a deceased gnoll,. Do not worry, he is not going to hit you with it. Because.. he is a wizard, right? Wizards use magic, right?

Deep elf sorcerer does not use hellfire when it's next to you. Deep elf high priests and draconian zealots/scorchers are the ones who use hellfire burst even on melee range.

Conjure flame spell is a lifesaver in many early level situations. When you want to escape...! Against many dangerous earlygame opponents, attacking with reaching weapon paired with conjure flame does nothing but leads you in trouble (we're talking about DEWz, right) 1) Orc priests 2) Orc wizards 3)...

This guy did it with just melee and javelins (and one escape to the Abyss). No powerful evocables or spells were used.

'Drop what?'
'Okay, then.'

??????

If that was personal then, yes you did guess.

Why the fuck would you assume that I (or anyone) would use immolation one-on-one against a dangerous opponent?
I was asking minmay to explain his views. Not your assumptions what i might think of those scrolls.

Vulnerability good, immolation useless.. This is not the first time this minmay fella just shouts out his opinion without explaining it. Please tell the forum, why immolation is useless and vulnerability is better scroll to have around. Most of us know the both scrolls have limited situations to use...

Play NetHack

For me "EV based melee" generally means LOTS of buff spells (Regen, OzoArmour, Butterflies, Haste, Shroud, Swiftness, Rmsl, summoning spells.. just to mention a 'few') and ranged attacks. The deeper as you go in the dungeon, you will find low AC to be very goddamn crippling, stealthy or not.

mikee: whoa, how reverse psychology suddenly makes this thread one of the best advice source for a long while

Fuck antimagic brand. It does NOT do extra damage.

I believe minmay, WildSam and Moanerette have 15 hours left to finish their playoff-game by the time I'm writing this.

At least that's what the scoring page tells me..

Women who play roguelikes, do play because they like them. Twelve, if you want to get MORE women/girls playing this game, I do not have a single word to advocate that. One person decides it individually, male or female. Women do play games where you get points from achievements. Oh, they do. My Face...

My twin sister once asked me "are you still playing that gay-clown-nerd game"?

She remains as an only female, who knows i'm playing this ********* game.

These were the challenges in WalkerBoh's competition KoHe game: Tier I Bonus: Enter Lair before killing or pacifying a unique. Tier II Bonus: Enter Zot before pacifying or killing a unique. When i did read those, I immediately decided I'm not going for bonus points. It was doable but too hard and he...

4 Players are seeded according to their total season score. Seeding determines the XL cutoff to be eligible for a redo:
#1 seed: Can redo if their first attempt ends at XL7 or below

HDA: Just to make sure, you are aware of this?

This is an old trick and might even be dangerous without caution but nevertheless:

Using enslavement on a giant eyeball in the Slime Pits (and everywhere else where they show up) can make your life a lot easier. Especially for a stabby character.

...Another great combo is Searing Ray and scroll of amnesia Please explain this? Well every spell has it uses of course. But i wouldn't learn Searing Ray on any other class that starting Conjurer. Only thing good about it is, that it is cheap. Once you get IMB castable i don't see (m)any reasons cl...

Butterfly barrier followed by LRD makes many ranged foes (stone giants, yaktaur packs) so trivial that in most cases they cannot hit you even once

Another great combo is Searing Ray and scroll of amnesia

I use an account 'prestonbroadus' when i'm playing drunk or going for experimental things like getting some fancy titles.

Strategery

Never ever wait reading it. You're XL10! Any immediate boost is welcome. Wand is usually the best choice at least for a character XL10. "What to acquire" is universally too long topic to me write here. Just check your stuff and think what you MIGHT need at the moment if you happen to have ...

Well, seraph has only one kill during it's existence online and that was over two years ago (and even then the seraph happened to have a longbow). It's like fire immune buffed angel without anything else than moderately powerful (fiery) melee attacks. I did put Mennas against seraph face to face loc...
