Also, if you're looking for a way to let people experiment with wrath, how about giving Demigod's a desecrate ability used on a God's altar that increases the Dg power (perhaps in some desecrated God specific way) in exchange for getting wrath from that God?

I actually wondered about something similar recently since I've been playing a lot of Ds.... What if some Demonspawns were actually half-human half-fallen Angel? You could have a % change to be 'Angelic', your body mutation could be wings, which stops you using a cloak (for example), and once the mu...

Thanks, done. I quaffed the !Bene and got Robust (+10%hp). I haven't gotten my Tier 3 Ds Mut yet, does anyone know if there is any interaction between !BeneMut and the Ds Muts you get (i.e. is there a chance that that potion is a waste because I'll develop Robust naturally, or is the fact that I got...

Playing on CAO: http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/TheAlgebraist/TheAlgebraist.txt I've just entered the lair and I'm standing on a labyrinth portal on Lair 1. Some notable things so far: +6 ring of slaying! Claws 2 already (plus a flaming sword for Lair backup) Book of Wizardry (learned but can't re...

Thanks folks, Unarmed it is. I also have amulets of Rage and Faith (Had Rage on, tried-id'ed Faith and am sticking with that). Got a +6 shortbow of flaming from Oka, so that handles my ranged I guess, will swap back to "Rage later. Also found a book of wizardry, and learnt Haste, which is nice....

I've got an XL6 DsSk of Oka going, Claws at 2 already, but I have a Mace +4 and a buckler. 2 levels in M&F nothing in Unarmed yet. I also have a +6 slaying ring.... I'm not monstrous (also have rugged brown scales 1). Would you go unarmed with non-monstrous, and give up Oka's weapon gifts (and S...

Thanks. I know demon whips are awesome and that that randart is much worse on the damage front, but I wasn't sure if the rF/MR/Vamp made enough of a difference.

I don't like to come here and ask for item advice, but this game is: a) going well, b) my first serious Yred character (planning a TSO switch later, probably) and c) throwing a ton of great items at me Character dump below, but my question is whether the +4,+5 Demon Whip or the randart whip I just p...

This is my second win, after Crail the DDNe of Kiku https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2715 I had wanted to do a melee character for my second win, and had killed off lots and lots of Mountain Dwarfs and Minotaurs in the process. I was hoping to get a MD win before they're phas...

Awesome, I'm in the clear now apparently.

I was worshipping Trog, but abandoned him to worship TSO. I'm doing ok with the punishments (levitating over lava), but I don't know how to tell when Trog is done with me. Can anyone give me a hint?

Wouldn't Consecrated Ground run afoul of the 'no double gods' rule on the list of things that won't be implemented?

I agree. I have a baby arriving any day now, but in a month or so when things are stabilizing I'll ask for some directions on how to get starting with a portal vault.

The way the ice caverns work might be a good way to experiment with different 'levels' inside one level.

Believe it or not I did consider that!

I think I'll wait until the New Year when I have some time off and see if I can turn it into a portal level, and see if there's enough there to take it further someday.

Time to read the source I guess.

The orcish gloves are spiked, raising unarmed damage?

I would appreciate and and all suggestions, especially for other monster types, and ideas to tighten up the variants for the branch end. I know there's a lot of work still to be done, but hopefully the idea gets people interested/excited. I haven't contributed to the game source yet, but I'm an able...

The Behemoth What shambling monstrosity is this? An enormous creature, the size of a mountain, trapped in the solid rock of the dungeon walls. All that is visible from here is the snapping maw, but if you dare to brave the razor sharp fangs and venture inside the Behemoth, you may discover the lost...

Oh, one thing that was nice about the Abyss is that it gave me my first wearable headgear, a lowly +0 cap. Sigh.

...wait, a Minotaur in bat form ? :lol: Haha, yeah, I can explain. After I got confused in the Abyss I was trying anything to survive, including spamming from a deck of Defence I had in my inventory. I had another deck with the Tomb on top (identified), but I had hostiles next to me. I couldn't mov...

Started playing Crawl a few months ago. One 3-rune win (Crail: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2715 ). I've been trying to branch out into some other race/background combinations, but decided to go back to an old favourite this time, the MiBe. Had one piece of amazing luck a...

Never mind, paralyzed and killed! Easy come....easy go.

Got a SpEn, only at XL 7 at the moment, one * with Okawaru. Found a randart dagger: +7,+5 dagger, {stab Noisy rN+ Int -4} Current weapon is a +1,+0 protection branded dagger. My question is: how bad is the 'noisy' part of that randart dagger, and does the +5/stab combo seriously outweigh any loss of...

Set a macro to spam your MP ability and then you a) save keypresses, and b) won't pick the wrong ability by accident.

Oh really? Is Makhleb the more usual god choice? I did consider converting from Kiku (to Jivya, in hopes of a stat reshuffle), but I decided not to risk it. I'm not sure I even found a robe of resistance. I was trying on robes (although I probably didn't try them all), but I don't recall finding a r...

Probably not a surprising combo for a first win, but you've gotta go with what works. Didn't really hit any major snags along the way. Vamp Draining and Pain kept me going, then used Abominations, and finally switched to Haunt/Shadow Creatures. One almost fatal screwup was pulling from a deck of cha...
