That's why you want a high success rate rather than low hunger cost.

crate wrote:Also vorpal is a bad brand, so you can put an actually decent brand on a bardiche too.

The glaive of prune isn't a bad item though.

Followers of Zin can't wield it which can be a little bit annoying. (I like playing polearm priests of Zin.)

When I get the message. "You feel less repulsive".

Meph? Sure, but it's a bit expensive food wise early on, and you're torn between leveling spellcasting to get to hungerless and spell success. Spell success is always more important than spell hunger. I agree. I would much see the message "you are feeling hungry" than the message "yo...

In addition to boring beetles, I'd like to see exciting beetles.

I want to see apathetic beetles and mountain beetles myself.

Grimm wrote:Didn't scroll down far enough. Was it a distortion weapon?

Distortion or chaos branded weapon is my guess.

XOM - It's over three thousand!.png

I'm expecting a horribly humiliating death quite soon.

Any ideas? Switch to Zin and give gold away?

Run from the foo fiend that will be summoned ~150 turns later.

I lost my level 27 KoAr to orange crystal statue - stat death. I still dont know why I wanted to blast it.

My friend, as a fellow fan of TAB-ing I feel your pain. I've been literally struggling to get a caster off the ground this week but to no avail. All my squishy DEs die around Temple Depth cause they either can't cope with monsters due to spell power (magic crapdart i'm looking at you). I've come to...

Googling prune.

Yup, I was thinking of prawn. LOL.

I'm not a native speaker of English, so you can expect many mishaps from me.

I don't want any pr0n in these nice clean forums. What language are you a native speaker of?

TehDruid wrote:There's many that will disagree. But I like it too, overall. Too bad it doesn't polymorph you into a shellfish or something fun.

Prunes aren't shellfish...

I've done almost the exact same thing with my copy of crawl. However, for demons I've forced a more message when a executioner comes into view.

I found quite a nice and fun video about science. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGuXCuDb1U&feature=g-hist&context=G256f67eAHTz7P4gAEAA

Cthulhu appreciates your spending several hundred million turns in the dungeon so the world ends.

Zapping a wand of draining at a tile with water in it should remove the water. Vorpal blades should go snicker-snack. New god proposal.

I must say good job getting your first win with all 15 runes. But what was the reason that your dexterity was higher than your intelligence? On almost any character who is going to cast spells you should always go for INT.

Cleared out most of Elven:5 but I didn't go near the vault. The rest of the level seemed easy enough but I didn't want to push my luck. I think I'll go check out the Crypt or Dungeon dive a bit more. @Mattchew Shuffled my equips around and got Summon Dragon up to Fair, though that puts my rF at 0. ...

Branch ends should flip a coin to determine whether they will be -cTele or cTele. This would be very interesting.

What does the trove want? Treasure troves can provide great things but sometimes the entrance fee is a little bit steep.

I'm guessing Mara won.

Screwing around with google image searches I learned you can buy a DC:SS shirt. It has a image of the caldron of stone soup and the text "You aren't quite hungry enough to eat that!" on it. http://www.zazzle.com/dungeon_crawl_stone_soup_tshirt-235202909511863211

Even on D:26, big hordes of higher level orcs can be dangerous.

Fix up some portals. I hear there's an ice cave with 1s in it. This is an early midgame vault, people. I don't think that portal needs to be fixed. It isn't easy to beat the demon, but it is easy to survive. I don't have very many deaths in that portal vault because I see that I can't beat that mon...

Quite probably when I decided that since my TrEE was slaughtering everything, I could do vault:8 with out rN. I was drained to death by shadow dragons. Completely avoidable death, all I had to do was put on a ring of positive energy, but I died to overconfidence.

== New game proposal. == Generic Crawl. Contains all the regular DC:SS feature you know and enjoy, but also contains all the feature suggested in the Generic Brainstorming thread in Crazy Yiuf's Corner of the DC:SS forums. Also, new unidentified randart description. Plaid. You see here a plaid quick...

You are welcome to change the brown draconian tile in your copy of crawl. Or you can play with ASCII graphics...

When in around a 2 hour period, I get one XL:4 SpAs in to hell, and I get a XL:7 SpAs into Cerebov's castle. I'll post the morgue files when I'm not so tired.

And you mutate the rat.

New armor proposal.
Demon Sweater.
Armor rating: 6. Evasion modifier: -2.
A truly terrible piece of armor, knit in the depths of the inferno. It's a nasty mustard yellow and blue stripy pattern.
It fits demon-spawn well.
It makes you susceptible to fashion sense. (rFS-)

Or possibly digital with very small steps.

Yay, a dungeon 4 artifact ring. The ring of Ofuck {+Inv Dex-3 Stlth--} This character splatted when just around the corner there was a room in which there was a ogre, a centaur and Dowan and Duvessa. That was a aptly named ring for the situation I stepped into.

Is there any way to protect against the effects of an orange crystal statue? They are pretty annoying... I believe sustain abilities works to prevent stat drain and clarity protects against confusion. However the best way of dealing with orange crystal statues nasty effects is to blast them with a ...

Just because you annihilated the guards at the entrance to vault 8 does not mean the rest of the level will be easy.

DC:SS is possibly the only game that doesn't have a capture the flag mode. I propose that a capture the flag gamemode be added to multiplayer. Here is how it works. You have a equal number of players on both teams in a predefined dungeon. Each side has 2 runes. In order to win you have to grab anoth...

And I could have sworn someone made a roguelike where you're a quark or something, and you have to combine with other subatomic particles to gain new powers... can't remember what it was called, though :( I haven't heard of a subatomic roguelike, however a couple of months back there was talk of de...

Trolls should have +5 attributes for fighting and unarmed combat.

I mainly play tiles. I'm perfectly capable of playing ASCII but I like the tiles for fruity bats/mace of variability/etc.

Two different names for the same thing. If you think work is bad, then it's rWork+. If you think work is good, then it's *Distract.

TehDruid seems to have came up with a interesting mutation idea.

I have no idea what +beer does but it will be a interesting mutation to play with when it comes out. Or artifact property... +beer would be a good artifact property.

Actually 1 says "Eliza's father had bought..." You and Pratamawirya both somehow removed it or didn't see it, it seems. Or maybe I'm the only one seeing it? :lol: Quite right. It seems like I managed to leave it out when I typed in the sentence. I will edit my post to correct this problem.

As a native speaker of English, and recipient of knowledge from a collage writing class I believe I can say with a certain amount of certainty that sentence 1, "Eliza's father had bought it in an antique shop when she was XL 4", is correct.

The obvious solution to all those problems is to put in the license agreement that no on ever reads something that says. "If you have a hard time with this game and rage about it on the internet, you lose all your rights to playing this game."

I'd love to see Crawl move beyond the internet subculture of ssh and irc and onto a more 'normal' platform. I can't help but imagine how awesome DCSS would be on Steam, with full steamworks integration: global leaderboards and achievements, tournaments with thousands of players, watch anyone play w...

Spriggans should be given claws. Let me explain. Spriggans=awesome, claws=awesome, so spriggans with claws=extra awesome.

I almost never use berserk. I prefer playing fragile spellcasters and berserk doesn't fall into that category. I do use !berserk rage when the need arises. By the time I have artifacts I generally don't need berserk.
