I have tried hellcrawl, and I likr the ID minigame more.

As a matter of fact, you can! In your RC file, it is one of the example settings.

lethediver wrote:This race exists. It's called worshipping Jivya.

This, sadly, is 100% true. The reason it is sad is because you can almost never worship jiyva.

But if it was good, people would probably like it and vote for it. I didn't limit the number of votes each person gets.

The only way to tell is to fire all of the charges and count them. You must first attune yourself to the device, a mechanic which has been removed from crawl because it led to people pressing . to try to resonate with the waves of the magical device.

Yesterday I had to choose whether or not to wear gloves on my ghoul. If I did, I got +3 AC. If I didn't, I got +2 slaying.

I guess bolt of venom is one of the worst bolt spells. It doesn't really do anything special.

Good thing they still have it, then

But it has a 20% fail rate! How will they spam it in combat now?!?!?!

Except that the damage scaling will mean more on UC because enemies have AC.

Blade hands sacrafices defenses and spell success rates for extreme damage in melee. It also takes a massive XP investment to get online.

Shadow step takes no time, so only 1 turn.

Meatsprint does indeed give felids (and the meatlord) +27000 slaying

In DCSS, energy absorption is 100%. Ashenzarites don't poo and neither does anyone else, because they have nothing to poop out.

In the early game, the damage is terrible. You also lose access to brands. In the late game, you have no need to find a weapon and damage is ferocious.

If you have claws, early game UC often is not a terrible choice, especially if you have the aptitudes for it.

Pretty sure that hexes keep the same power, but melee and spells get reduced. Shadow step is not your shadow, it is the ability that lets you port next to a sleeping monster at instant speed.

Short answer: No

Long answer: Yes, but because qaz's invocations require so much mp anyway, you would be better off just taking Sif or Veh and making your own noise/clouds.

I like p as the "macro key" because it isn't bound to anything. This doesn't change that, so I'm on board.

Torment is designed as a threat that can hurt players with 80 AC and EV without making the game impossible for everyone else. It does it's job, and it does it well.

Scaling off of invoc instead of piety would make him both far more balanced and far more difficult to skill for new players. Plus, some things are OP already and don't need a boost because they have a great invoc apt (DD, Ds). This would also make trog scale way better into the late game.

Favorite means one you like the most. If you like using the "best" spells, then you voted correctly.

Dith actually increases your stabbing base from 90% to 99%, due to shadow mimic doubling down on hexes and shadow step giving free stabs. The last 1% you can probably kill with things like scattershot.

In pan, the only reason to keep RPois around are Gloorx Vloq and Green Deaths. Or you could play an undead or gargoyle and get free immunity.

infusion, ozocubu's armour, regeneration, spectral weapon, excruciating wounds, ring of flames, death's door Warping the Air into spells, Crystalizing the ice, air twisting to heal your wounds, air making another weapon, why isn't ring of flames an air spell already. I admit that Excruciating and D...

Have done qaz zigsprint, can confirm that it just gets more awesome.

I like magma best because of it's unresisted damage and the fact that I primarily play Fire/Earth elementalists that branch into the other school. Draining is second for me, because of the debilitating effect and solid damage + shooting through summons/undead allies. Fire/Cold are 3/4 due to solid d...

Wanderers have the extreme possibility of starting with all of your points in hexes, while only being given a blowgun and a single curare needle and nothing else. Maybe they are a little *too* random.

Also applies to Irradiate and potion haste, for the same reason of blocking spamming.

I was wondering what people's favorite bolt spells were and why! So far we have: Bolt of FIre/Cold Bolt of Draining Bolt of Venom Bolt of Magma Lightning Bolt And the removed Bolt of inaccuracy Feel free to bring up damage, ease of castability on your normal characters (bolt of fire if you normally ...

As far as the religions went, I always thought Zin and Beogh were the same god looked at from different perspectives. Beogh is about the violence of mainstream religions and Zin is about their lawfulness. Also, why don't we replace water-walking with straight-up flying? That should keep people from ...

You guys clearly do not understand that regen is balanced by another despised but necessary mechanic: Food. If you recast it all the time, you will quickly run out of food from the extra 10/turn it consumes (or whatever the value is). You may actually consume MORE food between fights, because of the...

Yeah, minotaurs in crawl are one of the best spellcasters in the game!

Wait a sec...

Halflings actually are fun, as opposed to high elves which are just worse humans

I also gladly take the chance to insult n1000 for the small trade-off of clicking a button.

Charms going into air would actually be pretty cool. I can't think of a charm that fails to work with that.

High ev penalty and spiny 1 seems fair. This armour would reward having a high HP pool but frail defenses with solid retaliation damage. It would especially punish multi-hit enemies like executioners.

I am compelled to try really hard to enter every timed portal and get all the loot. I am very disappointed when I miss one, which really doesn't happen very often. (Yes, I often die inside them, but it's worth it!) I recently had the Bailey with the orc warlord in the middle. Normally, I am compell...

This used to be a thing, but giving people access to things like discord because they trained for Deaths Door is not a good idea.

I do not contest changing their playstyle from SMOrc SMOrc SMOrc to "maybe get a weapon in between giant club and mace".

FTFY

I have seen it used effectively by an unarmed formicid of chei, to lure the orbs out of the orb chamber on zot 5.

What ARE the new needle effects as a function of Throwing skill? I think the primary effect is that it is more likely to apply non-poison needle effects. IIRC you still need to do damage to have any effect, so the damage boosting isn't 100% irrelevant. For poison or curare, I think it increases eff...

Mak is actually good though, even without DD. DD isn't very fun anymore, I agree.

My first win was with a MiBe (pretty standard stuff) My second win was with a SpEn of Ash, which was pretty fun. My first 15 runer was also a SpEn, but this time I was using Kiku. This build made all of extended incredibly fun for me, and it didn't feel like a slog at all. The whole thing was super ...

IIRC the trivial monsters are there to make [[Shadow Creatures]] not gamebreaking

Dissolution is sentient, that doesn't mean he has a brain.

Pretty Sure that anyone who chooses to play Xom isn't a common pleb.

One is a charm that deals minor damage and boosts your fire spellpower.

The other is a f'ing explosion!!!!11!!1!

If this is true, the wiki's page on Fighting is lying. "Fighting is a generic combat skill that provides small bonuses to your accuracy and damage with melee attacks (but not spells or ranged attacks)" The wiki isn't reliable This is the case for the highest level spells when spell enhanc...
