I think that we should make shields more useful instead... currently they are next to useless for most character backgrounds.

For our console users is it a Golden Dragon Armour?

Grimm wrote:Unless Transifex changes I don't see any other option. Maybe the devs there would be open to modifying it to suit DCSS.

Or maybe putting links to some other instrument to mark obsolete entries, a small wiki comes to mind.

As Galefury explained, we can achieve exactly the same result just by tweaking weapon stats, no need to make it a special effect. Ok even if I think that slowing maces more than what they are now at skill 0 will definitely make them unusable to starting characters. What about some additional less r...

M&F AC ignoring effect is realistic but not very interesting gameplay-wise. Why not? It's a choice. Will I go M&F knowing that I will do more damage to armoured opponents or will I go long blades knowing that robe-wearing elves will receive more attack on average? For felids, if stabbing is...

I as a first suggestion would remove completely "block" from two handed axes. Maces and Flails should have some way of negating some Armour/GDR since it's difficult to absorb shock damage even if you're in full plate, and some impact weapons (especially two-handed ones) were specifically d...

glexus wrote:But then what does it mean for one spell to be two ##'s more powerful than another spell?

It's to quickly compare, on spells of the same level, how well you're casting them.

I think current scroll distribution does not fit the book. Of course we need a different scroll distribution. The issue with the original proposal is that you swap a permanent (but maybe useless like a spell book or a manual you don't need) item for a 5-use one which has to be identified every time...

sardonica wrote:Burn a ident scroll to get an unburnable scroll of blinking/teleport? But, it just might be a curse weapon!

If the book would always be beneficial, IDing that would be a no-brainer. Which is BAD by Crawl philosophy.

I think it would be very interesting if this would be a permanent artifact book. Scrolls are infinite (the book has only one magical page which rewrites itself every time) and the scroll effect is unknown (as per deck of cards). ID works only on the next scroll, you can renew the page only by readin...

I don't think so. It's simply that you have no faith in the RNG.

Did you have a bad day?

I confirm. I'm going on freenode now to ask.

Edit: nobody knows.Sorry.

That's why paladins use swords IMHO :lol:

That being said, I can see how displaying the same bar for every spell and labeling it "power" is misleading. I'm sure there is something about this in the manual, which everyone really should read because it is very useful, so I'm not too bothered by it. But if someone came up with a bet...

I now know I was referring to ammo brand. Sorry.

Sorry, I don't buy it. You don't put different numbers of # on different spells and don't label it as "power" if you don't want them to be compared by this values. Ok, now I think I know. You don't really understand that spell power is not an absolute number. It's relative to the spell. A...

[quote="white_noise"]Where do I say that I want percentages?/quote] Linear bars are a visual representation of percentages, unless your indication about using 20 dots really means "I wish to use 20 'slots' and use hashes for test and dots for units, but spells never reach the end of t...

I used it a couple of times on nasty stuff like Sigmund or early ogre, even an hydra but it's the first candidate for an amnesia scroll after lair.

Oh I see. I usually try to get one of the "classical" threes plus abyss if I find myself there. I sometimes go to Crypt, Tomb and Slime but not on the last level if I feel I need something but I usually not find anything worth the effort. I most always do Vestibule of Hell because there ar...

That isn't necessarily true for characters who have Dispel Undead and Kiku's torment protection. And Slime will often be easier should you get the right gear (as you imply yourself). Abyss is nearly always easier in my experience. I agree with abyss, the other two conditions are too situational to ...

Really? Then it makes no sence at all. It's like saying "this spell's power is 5 stars, and this one is 7 green parrots. Good luck." Perhaps it should show dmg as well (or instead of) as power. Well I don't know but it seems someone is contradicting oneself here. First you say you want pe...

If you can do Tomb you definitely can do V:8... and yes, I don't meddle with Slime often because you are not always getting proof gear, and Jellies are hard!

Much less that what you'd imagine. Problem with draining brand is that it does not work against demons and undeads (and golems, and so on...)

Roderic wrote:I'd rather go to ego item brands, because monsters are not as smart to charm their weapons but using them branded instead. A debuff of their weapon would act as removing fire brand, pain brand, freeze brand as if it were previously casted.

Suppressing brands seems too powerful to me...

Bloax wrote:Yes, you have the list of spells it'd help the monsters against you with.

Just dispelling invisibility on Sigmund and on Orc Wizards would be enough. Maybe we should lower the spell to level 2. :mrgreen:

I think "Dispel Magic" "Cancellation" would be a good name for it. It could remove both good and bad spells which could create interesting decisions. In my opinion it should "Cancel" all spells up to a certain level based on spellpower (definitely starting higher that ...

Probably. I did not check if the electrocution actually occurred.

Demonspawn and mummies have abilities that offset these concerns. Demigods are useless because the consensus (from what I've read on this board) is that attributes are generally devalued or inapplicable. Demigods are poor's man Chei.

It's called purple draconian breath. You can call it Spongebob if you like, I was not referring to the name but to the effect. I'm sorry I'm just being D&Dist, if you are more Magic oriented I can call it "Disenchant", the effect should be that of removing enchantment (from foes) and ...

It's already in the silence spell and the anti-magic brand.

I don't think anti-magic and silence would dispel haste or the like once cast.

If this has to be considered, why not going with the full throttle and add some form of Dispel Magic (I think it should be Hexes)?

I would have used this: +6 buckler of Gysaj instead of the one you use currently unless you have no other source of rElec to swap as needed (swapping a buckler is not recommended unless you have no other choice).

And then there would be yaktaurs and centaur captains as I explore further. What should a wizard do against ranged enemies? It depends on if you have repel/deflect missiles, summons or whatever. In the case of a single centaur in the open the best way to cope without repel missiles is to summon imp...
