New question- worth switching from short sword (now +4/+4 of elec) to a +4/+2 scimitar of elec?

Incredibly early in the game I chugged a potion and got two negative mutations. Feeling pissed, I drank another just for kicks and got two more. Since then I've had a ridiculously good game, despite having only about 50 health at XL 14 and only 4 str. I'd love any general advice people could give me...

It may also be a good idea to have a set number of cyclops/hill giants in the vault, I've tried it out three times, one of those times I was greeted by 7 cyclops who all flung a boulder all at once. I don't think I've had many characters who could deal with that on floor 14. Oh good point, I should...

My first vault, so please let me know what you think.

I made this while at work, so I haven't gotten to test it yet, and I made it pretty quickly so I may add some randomization, but it is pretty simple.

This may be a completely stupid idea that I haven't thought through, but what if your skills also buffed your stats slightly (say 1 point every 9 ranks or so) It would make logical sense that training things like fighting and weapon skills would make you stronger, or that practicing spells would mak...

Eh, vampires have 1. No use for permafood. 2. Benefits in both directions. Lava orcs being temporarily boosted by fuel generates an interesting resource management decision. If anything I'd say its too similar to berserkers since it replicates the hunger/power tradeoff raging has.

Two quick thoughts: 1. Why do people hate on Vehumet when Sif Muna exists? Vehumet is interesting to me because it lets me get a melee character into spellcasting, and finding an early altar might completely change how I was going to play the game. Sif Muna doesn't even let you join unless you are a...

What about making temperature also tied with fuel i.e. food? Being full means you heat up much faster, but hunger faster as well. Being hungry means you are more sluggish and less prone to heating up. This would make food more interesting for them, and provide an interesting choice of burning throug...

Why not make it a bit more true to the source and have self-petrification mean you are more uninteresting to monsters? Have it so that unintelligent monsters lose interest, while intelligent monsters have a much lower chance but will end up wandering a bit or going to sleep, as if they were sitting ...

One idea that I tried to implement on my own like 3 years back was food that had a more conditional effect. For instance, make food overall take longer to eat, but have jerky be very fast to eat, thus making it more valuable to mages or 'zerkers that have been fighting for a while. Another idea was ...

I always viewed Demigods as something more abstract. Almost like Xerath from League of Legends, just a barely-contained creature made of power.

Huh. Now that I say that, Djinns might have been a cool way to upgrade demigods.

Yes I did. This looks like a much more convenient system than the old elemental evocations items. I'm still scared to use this one since my evocations is so low. Edit: Hmmm....not being tied to an elemental class means that my only hope of using it is if I decide to train evo...which is unlikely. I'...

Ahhhh, I was looking at the develz learndb, not the akrasiac one.

Well, looks like I'm going to train evocations now just for kicks, seeing as how I'm the right elemental class.

Just found an item on floor 12 called the Phial of Floods. I've never seen it before, it isn't in the wiki, devwiki, learndb, knowledge bots, or Google. Given how badly evoking elemental items can go, I'm hesitant to activate it. Has anyone else found/tried it? Description: An enchanted vessel brimm...
