Make wands single use consumables and spawn them in stack, stacks in inventory. Basically have them work like potions and scrolls. I think that rechargeable nature of wands should be kept. The just keep charge cap and you cannot overcome it with ?recharge. Picking up wands can get charge amount bey...

I'd love to watch these people play a version of crawl that never removed d:1 zot traps, amnesia traps, orc priests with distortion weapons, 0.6 randomized energy, or nausea Removing features can make the game easier and/or less tedious to the players disregarding in what matter do they play. Wheth...

Hurkyl wrote:They no longer clutter the inventory if you autopickup miscellaneous.

So, adding "decks" section to pickup options isn't better than removing an interesting game aspect? Or it will clutter autopickup screen?

http://s-z.org/neil/git/?p=crawl.git;a=commit;h=43665f35dd8ee3fee8c3fdf460a4701eb3b854d3 Remove decks from random generation They're in a better place as Nemelex-only items than as random dungeon loot; there's plenty of fun evocable effects without decks around, especially now that decks have lost ...

Who really needs a buff (or hammer) is Frederic. The most boring unique ever. He don't make any danger, sometimes I just tabtabtab a pack of hell knights and OH GODS I KILLED FREDERIC! If his powers stay unchanged, move him to lair branches, he is almost indistinguishable from other monsters in V an...

This is the best idea ever. You should expand it to include unrands. Scythe + 10x ?RC = Scythe of Curses boots + chain mail + helmet + gloves + 5x ?EA = Lear's Haulberk =MR + hat + dragon hide = mask of the Dragon vorpal long blade + 3x ?brandArmour = Autumn Katana (+9) exec axe + (+3) =slaying + (...

No and NO! Minimizing the amount of turns spent while regenerating your HP/MP is the major point of speedrunning. You have to think how to decrease damage done to you in battles, make decisions to explore or not to explore when you are at 35%HP, wear tla as casters or bump charms/necro as fighters, ...

Yay, new skill!
Crawl didn't changed skill since 0.12 I think?

It is usually hard to get high-end weppons without oka/trog, so you can:
2x long sword -> double sword
greatsword +2x long sword -> triple sword
2x hand axe -> lajatang
broad axe + quarterstaff +whip(to tie) -> bardiche
2x bardiche -> exec axe
morningstar + 10x dagger -> eveningstar

Now we really need that 'a severed part sails off in a bloody arc!' from DF.

New shard shrike tile looks to similar to the rime drake. It was hard to count shard shrikes in cold-themed zig!

The first one is a bit static and could make you think the giant will not move.

Isn't stone giant too cool to move?

Greatorbrunner is getting 3 runes, then orb, then 12 more? Then it is just where the orbruntomb is.

The list that I made is just for fun, like god tier list is.

4Hooves you can type ??decentplayer or ??dupz in irc for explanations. Knowing how to irc things is a good skill.

CanOfWorms, Ontoclasm, no offence!

Since getting greatplayer status, I seem to have had a 35-game losing streak. I think I might be suffering from greatplayer syndrome, where you think you're invincible. Has anyone else had this, or is it just me? It's time to define achievement tiers! I don't want to mention low-level achievements ...

We (Russian community) have a person who brought a concept of a new mutation. 1st, 2nd and 3rd levels of this mutation will decrease the range of your sight by 1, 2 and 3 tiles respectively while the monster's los remains the same. This means that you can see nothing in your vicinity, but a yaktaur ...

I tried to cast EH on centaur, but game doesn't aim him. And if I focus on him, it says he is wearing a steel ring. - "Aha!" - I thought, - "it is the ring of rC+!" (I identified ring of ice earlier). The question is: from the one hand, I don't know that centaur have rC+, I even ...

Casters would never take that because of int malus. Non-casters just cant handle it!

With rC- rF-? I'm not sure any character of mine would even consider wearing these footrags. Make it -2 and lose the resist maluses, and it's a more viable decision. It is usually a bad idea to use chaos brand in early-mid and sometimes late game. You will easily overcome negative properties when y...

Is it okay that your ancestor can swap it's place with monster statues (ice etc.)?

Okay, I got a solution! Loot in Labyrinth starts to decay from, say, 500 turns spent inside. Like in the volcano with lava flowing out of fissure or tunnels that shuts as the time goes. I can explane degrading loot: stupid minotaur breaks things that he can't understand. Wands loose their charges an...

TY for the link, but can anybody tell me how it is invoked every UI action? Where is the starting point?

A friend of mine wants his character tile to be changed while he levels up.
I just don't know what function is called when you level up. And whether tile_player_tile works without save&restarting or not.

Where can I see all crawl functions that I can use?

Btw you can --FE^Veh every race, octopi is awesome for it since you can wear wizardry, magpower and 2 rings of fire simultaneously.

1. Make PDA a holy item - cannot be used by undead and demonspawns. Cannot be cursed. 2.

Awesome idea! Gotta implement that in Java and see how it would work!

Annoying vault: Ru altar with handicapped creatures. That hopgob always stay paralyzed, it breaks autoexplore and TSO prevents me from killing it!

It is just a maneuver that forces everobydy to lean how to irc!

Add some.
You cut ogre in a useless ribbons!

This stuff should be reworked since in most cases you can easily screw your god and farm piety later.
If Ukulele god will go into trunk this will become ridiculous.
Asking for piety should stay only for Ru followers and only with 4*+ piety.

Let Shroud stay active until it is aken off by a mighty blow and remove timing out. In other words, it should work like repel/deflect missiles. Now the use of this spell is dicouraging - you should watch for timer and recast it while you can loose it every hit. With such a buff one can overcome the ...

This has come up a bunch of times before; the end tends to be "it's OK if poison doesn't have super late-game efficacy, it's like short blades and beogh and yred and stuff" But Yred was buffed lately, why can't poison be buffed too? Poison tends to be a supportive school for a tabber. Add...

I was striding through the dungeon, and stumbled into Ely's sanctuary. I noticed a quokka corpse near the altar. I was not killin' it. The only living being here was an Ely's quokka.

Merge all permafood into fruits (tripling amounts for some types of food).
Remove herbivore/carnivore mutation. What a unique gameplay purpuse does it serve? Add "Fresh meat intolerance" mutation for spriggans.
Increase Fed's ability costs.

You're wrong! Combat system is the same.
In Diablo you clickclickclick as a melee dude and shift-click! right click! shift-click! as a caster.
I Crawl you tabtabtab as a melee dude and z-a-enter! z-b-enter! z-a-enter! as a caster.

While +++ is a 80% resistance for player, it is a complete immunity for other monsters.

Just don't interrupt 5ing if your allies attack harmless monsters. There was a special flag for em.
Sometimes it is the desired behaviou for your pets to cut their way to you. For example your allies may get stuck in a large pack of bushes and stay behind while you are exploring.

An altar of intervention! When you worship on it, a random god pops up and suggest to join his ranks. You may accept or decline, but if you decline, then you worship another random god. This will make some interesting decisions whether player wants to worship a given god, or reject ant get something...

How would this actually make tactics different with swords vs. maces? You're not guaranteeing that a monster will be dead in X attacks by picking maces, since you could always just miss, not to mention AC and monster hp randomization. You can't guarantee it, but the spread for a particular monster ...
