Actually that doesn't even end it. I've run myself down to 0 mana, then regained one, and had infusion still going, and whacked something to use up that regenned point of mana

Zig will drop you out at the same point you entered, Drop: Books (Unless you're going to memorizing during the Zig) ?/Tele (There's nowhere to go) ?mapping (Not useful in zig) /dig (Nothing's diggable) And Possibly: ?fear (Not terribly useful, not many things that are a problem are fear-able, and th...

Hm, Would you then be automatically enslaved by Kirke?

I guess i also have habit of doing some regeneration kiting to slower monster, which of course is impossible if you haste yourself. Someone suggested to use Haste for kiting Cerebov with Foo Storm (out of LoS due to Vehumet extending range) If I'm kiting I prefer swiftness, lower hunger cost and ve...

Eh? All I know is how to look in the source code, I don't have some mystical statistical crawl knowledge... (I now feel like I need to find more occasions to write and/or say "mystical statistical")

GrIE seems pretty viable so far.

since Haste, reg, control teleport and 2 semi controlled blinks lead me to few bad mutations which eventually ruined the game for me (i might have recasted reg or shroud) I guess problem might also have been me casting it with bit too much spell power. You can mutate if you have > 5000 contaminatio...

Someone recommended asking questions in the Tavern instead. Let's hope they all come to CYC, where all the best advice is to be had!

Hehe, that was me, sorry, my bad

It's actually level 14 Gr, but yes, it's permaflight (Functionally identical to boots of flying afaict)

Code:: 19773 | Lair:3 | Gained mutation: Your wings are large and strong. [gargoyle growth] 19773 | Lair:3 | Reached XP level 14. HP: 73/84 MP: 23/23

PhaseSwift: Level 4 Translocation/Air/Charms When moving to a new square you may randomly "skip" That space and move a space immediately in front of that space, provided it's empty, you cannot skip spaces and end up inside a wall, creature, or anything else, only an empty square. Immediate...

I still think "Volcano Dwarf" is a better name than "Lava Dwarf" (I know, I know, "Lava" is a better description of what they *are* rather than where they're *from* but "High Elves" are not made of "High" they're from the highlands, and Deep dwarves ...

I'm not quite sure how this is supposed to work as any non Djinn/Mummy... How do you feed yoursel?, dive for Zin and hope you scam enough gold piety to vitalize yourself? Jyvia? Earlier though it was mentioned that the plan was to use vehumet.. Unless "no pickup" makes an exclusion for foo...

Well, Troll unarmed combat is still going to be more powerful than shock at range 1, it does give you a killing tool while you build up the spellcasting chops to kill things with your blasty spells

Tr don't need no stinking attack spells, Tr beat things up with claws, even if they do start with an AE book. Even if you don't train any unarmed combat at all, a Troll unarmed will do more damage than shock. Seriously try it, things will just die for the first three levels, use the AE book to get s...

Yes, scaling attack power by evocations is a good thing to consider. One problem is that we don't want it to add too much additional damage, but giving 1% more per level of evocations for a single attack is perhaps too little. Either way, evocations skill will likely end up affecting the attack in ...

That would be where you can still *technically* use the item in that slot, if you want to be a gross, horrible disgusting pig about it.

You asked in chat if training evocations increases anything besides the jump distance, and I told you no, but that's a good point to consider. Increasing the accuracy with evocations (currently it's solely based on melee accuracy) is one possibility. Also possible is affecting some aspect of the ju...

Yes, it makes a difference, in .12 you get an "extra" penalty for each point you are short.

Sorry, you're correct, that bit is executed by the setting up of the brand damage, which actually happens (a bit counterintuitively) during the "is hit" phase, prior to doing the weapon damage the adjust_noise function (Which alters the noise_factor for base weapon noise) then overwrites t...

Then they'd be a Running Gag (Disclaimer: I love this webcomic)

That was removed in trunk.

Swiftness I could see keeping active all the time, although personally I use it primary as an escape mechanism. Keeping Flying active all the time is not useful, you know when you need to fly; A lake or pool of lava never sneaks up on you (I suppose you might be keeping it active for that once-in-a-...

Due to what might be a bug, brands don't add noise to melee. The only exception is the electrical explosion that happens on elec brand triggers against targets in water. Actually that's not true. Brands alter the base multiplier for melee weapon noise, however this has a cap (the same cap as shouti...

It can be a problem when I keep Deflect Missle, Swiftness and Flight active. Time is a problem indeed and it was one of the reasons (minor one though) why I switched to ToME4 where sustained spells exist. So let me get this straight, you are taking a bunch of useless actions, which take you a bunch...

Yes, and i'm not debating that the vault is deadly if you are unprepared and particularly if it's layout is previously unseen. Merely that "opening the door and dying" isn't something that happened in this instance.

I usually always have Repel Missiles active (the game stops when the spell is about to expire so I can cast it again). It does not work with auto training because Charms and Air get about 25% exp each So this is a bit silly. Keeping RM active all the time is just burning time, Mana, food, and is an...

As a formatting thing for racial proposals, it's nice to do something like: <Race Name> <Short description, a sentence or two> <Long description, a paragraph or so> Proficiencies: <list one per line> Special attributes: <list one per line, limit thematic justifications here to a minimum, if it's not...

Well, you don't have to do all of it, and it doesn't really take very long, a couple minutes, tops. I just write very detailed instructions.

The fsim is just the fight simulator built into wizmode. How to use this "fsim": ⋅ First make a dump of your char with # ⋅ Save your character and exit crawl ⋅ Start a new char (I like to call mine "tester") with the appropriate race/class you are te...

Note that the SDA can also be enchanted to +5, so there's more potential AC there, although I agree if you kill things primarily with spells, at range, Archmagi is a pretty sweet brand (Although the 'diminishing returns' aspect of spell power means if you're already REALLY high spell power, you won'...

I get a feeling that str wighting really important for some characters now(I don't know how it was before, because I only played mages and stabbers). For example, start an OgFi/Be and try a whip and a mace, even a +2 whip and a +0 mace. You'll get a lot more damage from a mace, even considering the...

Hey guys, now that you've collectively shown the vault to be trivial, I need to come up with something more ... interesting. :) Well, it's trivial (Actually ranging from trivial through annoying up to and including very very risky) if you have any appropriate tools that you can or are willing to bu...

Here's a list of some ways I can think of to deal with that vault: Cloud spells Invisibility Fireball (Wand/spell) LRD Fulminant Prism Cblink (Scroll/Spell) Summons (Including Makleb's demons and BiA) Dig and the ability to take out one at a time. rCorr And noncorrodible equipment rCorr And corrodib...

I would prefer to use trog's abilities when my piety is already very high. Trog's abilities don't use invocation, so they're more effective when your piety's already high. You'll get more out of a Trog's hand with your piety already high then you will when it's lower, so it's worth it to use healing...

I mean, you spend most of the time repeating the same action to kill your enemies, but these places make you think. Isn't that great? Actually these kinds of things might make you think the first time you encounter them, particularly if you don't have lots of experience with oklobs, once you do tho...

From the posted morgue: Really walk into a travel-excluded area? [Y]es or [N]o only, please. Really walk into a travel-excluded area?

What if the dancing blades randomly decided whether to be aggressive to you or fight the other weapons, at least then it would be less of a slog, and more interesting to see neutral critters fighting aggro ones, a little tactical maneuvering and you could hide behind the biggest neutral weapon you c...

Yeah, it's fixed.

Heheh, exactly what happened to me, I'm compiling an up to date version now (there was a possibly relevant commit on the 21st, my version was from the 19th)

Really Tukima's is a pretty good spell, it's just annoying to have to wield each weapon you want to animate though,

1. It seems a little odd to give all these bonuses to UC but give a -3 aptitude for it. 2. If you join Kiku, and become undead, I think you forfeit holy damage protection, on the other hand if you aren't undead, holy weapons don't do anything additional to you, so there's only very rare situations i...

New trunk prompts you for which weapon to wield before you vorpalize, but you choose a weapon you can't use with a shield (and are wearing one) it doesn't let you wield that weapon ("you can't use that weapon witha shield") however it doesn't re-prompt you, to make a different selection, i...

I decided to see what my piety looks like playing a DDBe at your level, just for comparison Unfortunately I ended up wear-ID'ing an amulet of faith, so piety levels aren't really comparable (I've got more, shocker!) What might be comparable is how many times I've had to heal compared to you. So at l...

I find that I get a deck on the first sacrifice about 1 in 4 times (Not being a monk), there's no way to control which deck you get if that happens. Getting an experience card when joining a Nemlex is nice when it happens, but isn't enough of a big deal that you should worry about it when it doesn't...

I also don't think -5 AC on the cap is a big deal, he's got 50 AC *while wearing* said cap, and while 57 AC is better than 50 AC, MR++ is also pretty nifty. I guess it really depends on what sources of MR he's got available elsewhere in the game. Agreed rN+ isn't a requirement (Although it's certain...

Actually with 27 str and 38 int casting level 9 spells in IDA is pretty darn reasonable (One of the few reasons to take Chei IMHO is to be able to cast high level spells with heavier armour) That sure is a lot of rot though, I've never had nearly that much even after clearing the Tomb. And yes, get ...

Nah.. thats maybe a bit too much. Especially in the beginning where you are far better off pushing your main skills rather than getting finesse online. Besides, some characters can afford a turn or two, finesse is just to grease the skids and they use it rarely. Well, you should never use finesse i...

Really it should be "If you *ever* want to use finesse, it should be at a low enough failure rate that you're not likely to just waste a turn."

Well, it takes over 2 turns to climb or decend stairs (2.3 to be specific) so if I was an enemy I'd certainly whack you for free
