I saw this mentioned somewhere a while ago, but can we get rid of unidentified missile brands? It usually takes a single shot to ID a brand with no real risk of bad effects, so identifying them is just a bit of tedium. With enchantments gone now, sure, you can carry a stack of each type to merge on ...

I like the idea of holy resist being exclusive to Yredelemnul. Yred's already anti-holy and giving people a small reason to want to take Yred into extended wouldn't be a terrible thing. Yred's profane servitors already resist holy. What about instead of a new god ability, adding a resist holy effect...

Even when not playing Xom I like seeing the occasional Xom altar vault. What about a set of "Xom vaults" that are occasionally generated throughout the dungeon only when you worship Xom? Unusual features, uncommon monsters, dancing weapons, odd layouts, occasional nice loot (or annoyance l...

Or maybe make it lower EV or DEX. (Don't let it stack with Phase Shift) The deflection field makes it hard to move about. So it would be bad to have up if you let monsters get in melee range. The spell's effect is mathematically equivalent to doubling your EV. If it also reduced your EV, it would e...

What if Deflect/Repel Missiles had a chance of costing 1MP for each missile reflected? The chance could be 100% at low power. Maybe high damage projectiles could even cost more than one MP. This would make it risky to use (especially for casters with low MP) and very desirable to invest extra in ski...

It's not bad for spriggan casters. They're still quicker than normal speed with it on.

My second win. Another three-runer. I wanted to try a heavy armour character this time and did a demonspawn fighter. Luckily the DS mutations didn't mess with my plans. (+8AC and +20%HP? perfect. Gain MP on pain? eh, whatever.) I intended to go with long swords and shield and had already trained lon...

I still prefer the near-perfect* keyboard support of ssh with ConnectBot. http://mlkshk.com/r/7D58 The tiles are really nice though. I might have to try this sometime. Definitely great if it can get more people playing. Much easier to show new people the tile version and it's probably better than ss...

What about scrolls with one random pre-identified mid to high level spell. A single-use, no-failure, no-MP cost, no-hunger, high power, cast of that spell. The selection could be narrowed down to remove spells that aren't interesting as one shots. It would be a handy one-time save for melee users, h...

I think a reaching sword and flail could work as special artefacts. I don't think they need to be tied to a particular unique. Reaching is cool enough that either of these could be made comparable with existing non-randarts/fixedarts when you were lucky enough to find one of them.

Try Dungeon Sprint. It's harder but you'll get to see a lot of dangerous creatures and uniques earlier so you wont be caught by surprise when you run into them in a full game.

I like the idea of a single target deception ability like Sleight of Hand. Escape options are always nice. To make it more different from confusion from a spell it might be cool if it could also do one of the following: - Make the enemy drop their weapon. - Swap your currently wielded weapon with th...

It's not so bad. A lot like playing a DS or a PSP but with a much better screen than either. Autoexplore and autotravel really make it reasonable. It makes my commute go by faster and it's way better than Angry Birds.

I've been playing a long time, and I finally got my first win. Before this I'd only gotten as far as a getting single rune twice. Also my first time really using Ashenzari. With a lot of help from the knowledge bots, and reading the forums, and IRC I finally managed to pull off a win. Playing a Spri...
