Wait, what? Is there a wiki or a topic about this staff split? First time I heard about it. I recall when there was debate about staff monk I proposed something similar - add new stave type between quarterstaff and lajatang for smoother power curve. Everyone felt it was absurd "there is already...

Another new favorite build in trunk: MiPr of Oka. Why Pr? Well, you get to start with a quarterstaff. They've been buffed to 10/3/130 in trunk... this is absolutely insane for the early game. That two extra base damage is awesome . You can bash your way through anything in the early game within rea...

Chaos knights already start with +2 leather armour and +2 weapon. (but Xom...yeah) Abyssal knights start with +2 weapon (+Lugonu with accumulated piety) Death knights start with +1 weapon (+ Yred with accumulated piety) Healer starts with +1 robe. (+ Ely with accumulated piety) Assasin starts with +...

Just occurred to me. If golems will have set nutrition cost for all spells and bad aptitude for Spellcasting, they will have near to no reason to train it at all(only spellpower gain and few extra mp). How is item consumption system works right now? Maybe someone can upload compiled Crawl with golem...

In new versions it's Abyssal Knights that start in the Abyss. Chaos Knights start with Xom. So Xom chucked him in the Abyss right off the bad. Very funny. oh. yeah. forgot about that Great Chaos Knight Divide. Anyway, Xom once banished my troll for no fricking reason around D5. Thought that was it....

Actually, better yet e(v)oke it on them. Because hitting them will only break the wand.

Code:: name-dropping actual real-world places was a problem

it isn't? Well, that's weird.

Whoah! Speedy slithering is something new for sure. =) On topic: Making golems stand out is tricky. Very controversial ideas (like original one with scrolls) are too complex to be implemented. On the other hand, very subtle one are overshadowed by similarities with other species. (mummy resists, DD ...

Cast into the abyss on D1.

All chaos knights start in the abyss. So it's basically not even D1 yet.

I don't think incredibly lousy aptitudes captures the "hybrid is fine, but no pure casters" idea very well. Sorry, I did not elaborate enough. By "casting abilities is a must" I meant that abysmal aptitudes should go and another limiting mechanic should be put in it's place for ...

From feedback I'm getting I might only comment on few things: +Golems should gain MR with leveling up. With almost near immunity at 27XL. This should help against confusing effects (which are devastating due to lack of healing pots) +Casting abilities is a MUST. But they should be balanced in a way ...

This is the main problem with your proposal for me.

Also, main problem here - you should not explore with 4 hp left. RElec didn't help you there.

To avoid one of the exploits of a reaching brand, big/berserking monsters should displace smaller ones.
Because, really, rat blocking stone giant in a corridor? :shock:

Giant cockroach surely needs Kafka reference in quotation department, in my opinion. :roll:

Not true. I once was a berserker humanoid and she turned me in a pig mid-fight.
You ever met berserking boar? Well, it was the last thing Kirke saw. :twisted:

you know, as a tile maker (wannabe) myself I just have little artsy orgasms in my head when i look at your tiles, ontoclasm (by Odin's beard, the runes. THE RUNES!)
on topic: i was very sceptical at first about this god. But duo variation could be perfect new addition to the pantheon.

why they should not?

I would also count out all mindless creatures.

in this case they should block los. Maybe beginning with 3 squares unlike 2 with fog.

nice one. Theme of this vaults can be very diverse. I imagine troll/ogre cave, worm breeding grounds etc.

my last ddhe got zotsplatted. Ran out of juice prior end game. Was not able to pacify even draconians with around 25 invocations. And melee was vastly underpowered due to lack of xp(healed too often for piety). Basically, i disappointed in him and suicided on next drac-pack.

Inferno!
(I dont mind fire storm really)

at last!

female crawler in tavern? Intriguing. :) anyway, go for Oka. 1) if you fail to sneak up and end up face to face with ogre - heroism. Buffs your defences AND your otherwise meager melee damage output. 2) besides armour, Okes will shower you in needles(and darts) so you may spew that curare without he...

wow! This one is flavor-fest proposal. I completely adore this remix of original ideas. If 2-in-1 deity is too revolutionary it may be considered a one two-headed god(ess)
(some abilities still need balancing out though)

lack of strong theme disturbs me. Maybe this can inspire god designer:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus

Xua, playing too much trolls of Xom lately, huh?

yeah. I miss danr

question.
How high will be my success of pacifying draconians in zot with greater healing at 25 invocation?
In other words, will i be able to sustain piety level by pacifying every drac in a pack?

im in wizlab. Animated weapons around. Killed everything. Strange machine left with two doors at each side blocked by mirrors. How to get there?

thanks. My whole motivation for item consumption was not because of flavor(hungerless is better here), but because i wanted to see how it would be that , otherwise useless items, would be made crucial for golem survival.

your idea is prone to combinatory explosion. Also, too much hassle to implement code-wise. Just imagine -for every new god there must be made additionaly at least one mechanic specifically for only one race? ItS not worth it, i think.

several? I only see hp regen *similarity*. Golem at least can restore health when satiated and above.

i'm speechless. All fixes you described is very logical. Most necro spells will not have effect at all (death door) and poison immunity was mentioned with all the other resists. (is there a bleed effect in crawl?) about eating. If item consumption will not suffice i'm all for making golems hungerles...

hi!
You mean you made a patch of a whole race? 0_0
if so, how much does it look like my design?

i , for one, would like it if bows and x-bows was twohanded.
Or at least bows. It is quite improbable to shoot arrows and block with a shield at the same time irl

not just hairy. Very thick tolkien-hobbit-hairy!
Have you seen lord of the rings movie? All those little suckers had, like, a wig on each feet. They even didnt wear any boots most of the time

erm...what about felids then? They have a minor ac boost from their fur. And someone else too, i think

what about adding a bit more flavor?
Let them have hairy feet! (1AC). if boots worn, bonus is nullified.
100% serious

answering to the topic name. Thats how I roll octopi:
www.sushivids.com/spicy-octopus-roll/

Damn it. Does not matter that this most likely wont be implemented - i love it!
Push goblin in lava and shout "this. is. CRAAAAAAAAWL!"

wooooosh?
I dont get this joke. What does it means?

secret door.

@Danei
so, you have any proposals at all? I tried -stave as weapon choice for them was my idea, with much effort from Danr to implement. But its reverted now anyway.
@dpeg
i also like your idea. But there should be taken all gods in consideration to avoid exploits.

who said that all backgrounds should be equal? They should not. Monks in a late game is on par (if not better) than most melee builds.
i agree that they do not present anything interesting in comparison with transmuters

@XuaXua
you mean, like parry idea that i posted in another thread?

I'm not going to mention, then that May Green have compiled DF with nice tileset that only needs to be installed and can be played right away. Or am I?

Anyway, I'm with you there. It's all about all kinds of TITs! Because, you know, tits beat DF any day. Heck, tits beat most things for me...

I had that mutation with Oka during my last win. Everything went fine. Maybe because I was gladiator with katana(good night sweet prince)

and then you get paralyzed, and wandering hydra that was just around a corner goes "rofl, dorf snack!"
P.s. Hydras are jerks
