No, it was earnestly a conditional.

"Nothing at all" is a perfectly fine alternative if the target really is people playing their first 5 to 10 games and getting no further than D:5. Nothing is needed to tide the player over until they discover the m menu. Just like we don't need an automatic weapon choosing system until the...

Flying quickly and evasively is a tengu thing that persists into forms, including dragon form, not a dragon form thing. I don't really see any special tengu-dragon form synergy.

The last tournament game too gave us a background we couldn't reasonably play. A substantial number of people who won trained transmutations or unarmed: !lg csdc tetm won / ((fifsk~~transm||fifsk~~unarm||sk~~transm||sk~~unarm)) Cerebot: 9/17 games for csdc (tetm won): N=9/17 (52.94%) I didn't look ...

I understand what you mean, but given how little feedback there is now and how off the wall unspoiled player's choices can be, I have trouble believing it wouldn't help at all. I'm not talking about people taking records and trying to reconstruct distributions, but getting a rough sense for what typ...

Sure, I wouldn't complain about more up-front info, and I doubt most of the people who would like exact damage indicated would. But I figure that's even more not-going-to-happen than the thing we're discussing now. Using damage numbers to compare weapons is at least continuous with the method we are...

Siegurt, you can see about what a monster's max hp is right now. (Well, I don't know why the display says "about.") So the game does expose the context you mention, and revealing how much damage you did does reveal (approximately) the percentage of monster hp you just took away. Am I missi...

"Percentage of the creature's max possible HP" is a lot worse for getting a sense for how good your weapon does over time with normal play (ie, not constantly pulling up monster stats). that they do give data is just a side effect and an uninteresting one at that "How much damage do m...

Oh! Fair enough. I haven't used automatic training in years. I forgot it did more than, well, automatically selecting skills for you while otherwise using the same system. In that case it's probably worth noting for b0rsuk that the `default_manual_training = true` rc option means that you will start...

The best way is to ask a bot on IRC for milestones review !lm Engine [parameters] -tv [...] Sadly this does not work if the game was played on cwz. Follow the other suggestion. edit, in case you don't know, you can fetch links to the ttyrecs for a given game by using the !ttyrec command with Sequel...

The rules for bat form kill aren't very clear. For example could you raise 50 zombies, switch to bat form, and let them kill the hell lord? Yes that's fine. So are summons. In another context ebering said he checks the generated milestone's status field for 'bat-form'. So you can confirm you got th...

Sprucery, with the explicit number we have *now*, whether it's represented as a series of exclamation marks or a numeral, you have to convert it to a range of damage values in terms of hit points (by using a table or knowing the rule) in order to compare damage usefully to monster max hp. Obviously ...

The status quo *is* to show an explicit number: "You bludgeon the ogre!!!!!!" doesn't not show the number six because it uses slashes instead of Arabic numerals. AFAICT the primary difference between it and "You bludgeon the ogre (6)" is that you have to count the exclamation mar...

I can press a skill letter once to enable training it, second time to make a bigger portion of xp go to it. This is not a defense of the status quo. But you may like to know that you can turn this behaviour off with an rc option. skill_focus = true When set to true, skills cycle between disabled, e...

Seems the limit is 9damge/0.5delay, no proc, so sort of underwhelming. I don't understand how you came to this conclusion. You can definitely get to more than 9 dam per 5 aut with a troll using unarmed combat. Am I misunderstanding you? Edit: ah nevermind, I understand what you were thinking (and I...

Thinking about it a little bit more, another consequence is that every speed 10 character will want to get at least 3 or so throwing and carry stones everywhere, since throwing will be a faster way to make an escape than walking

.

Interesting. And, for what it's worth, it's in line with the idea of distinguishing attack styles through positioning. > Stationary throwing would either be not permitted or performed with 'F' (force throw at), and it would deal -20% damage. The first, I hope. Crawl already has plenty of finicky int...

Compensate by upping the rate of exploration alarm traps.

3. Executioners deal several light blows in quick succession. Yet one would expect them to deal one heavy blow that does considerable damage.

oops nvm, edited to remove

Well, here's mine! Another exercise in early elf-murdering: Santa gave you a present ! You love it so much that you want to thank his elves personally and show it to the whole dungeon ! But be careful not to get some animal droppings on it, ew !" Use wizmode to acquire Arga on turn one and neve...

I'm glad you had fun sanka! I was a little worried it'd be too easy but it seems it worked out.

Getting chain confused with no way out sucks. Gozag can petition curing pots, but that would get expensive quickly.

You cannot petition while confused, anyway.

Also worth noting that nothing really prevents you from wearing spirit most of the time and then putting on the amulet of rage when you want to berserk. (Of course you'd lose the benefit from wearing spirit as soon as you swap, but you also wouldn't have that benefit if you were wearing "rage i...

Let us know when you decide when you're going to do it!

Yeah I guess bcrawl's stair thing was also meant to be a change to the trap system, but that seems separable from the topic of stairdancing and like something we'd be better off setting aside for now. The penalization doesn't have to mimic the effect of a current or old trap.

Another proposal: I don't think anyone has yet mentioned the bcrawl approach of (iiuc) having a small chance to penalize the player each time they take stairs. I guess you might do something like this if you don't mind some stairdancing and don't mind how exploration is currently centered around exp...

player melee attacks are frequently pretty competitive with [agony's] average expected damage especially if target is already hurt. For a 5 slot spell it's hard to justify running it. Agony was really good, and I imagine it to still be good for lots of characters. I feel like I'm belaboring the obv...

So the spell range of 1 is very likely intended and no bug.

Yes it's definitely intended.
