i think tiles is intentionally bad to make you ashamed to play tiles

people love giving crawl advice so much that they're just advising into the void here in this 5 year old thread

I don't see how this "scumming" would be wrong or unusual -- how would you decide what to memorize other than by standing on a pile of all your spellbooks and hitting M? The chunk "scumming" I suggested would be an amusing challenge. It's hard to get together a huge number of ch...

Polearms are supposedly quite powerful with ideal use of reaching, but you have to pause and remember to do an extra button constantly to get full use out of that one.

you can just mash tab, you'll make reaching attacks when appropriate

I think it was less "Shouldn't rPois prevent hornet paralysis, since the wiki says it does?", and more "shouldn't rPois prevent hornet paralysis, because poison resistance should protect me from poison?" It's hard to tell what someone meant when they couldn't even take the time ...

if jiyva doesnt work as a temple god or a zealot start god then how much does jiyva really add to the game? if jiyva is added as a temple god and doesn't work it will receive a lot more attention than ever before and either be reformed or removed.

if free vamp weapon swapping were overpowered then wouldnt undead gain a huge benefit from it

old monk was ok but weapon choice is nice because sometimes you want the piety bonus on a character who doesn't want to go unarmed

i never had the impression that wucad mu was supposed to imitate a name in any particular language, it's just a weird old wizard name i thought

short blades aren't really situational... you just focus on abilities that let you stab more (allies, hexes, stealth), all of which improve your deadliness and survivability on their own terms as well. you effectively get the skill for free if you train long blades, and a dagger or quick blade of el...

getting killed by kobolds with concealed blowguns builds character

I don't think it's a conjuration in disguise just because it does damage but I also don't think it sounds very good. If the damage were high enough to instantly kill some high HP dangerous enemy, maybe it would have situational use, but at level 7 and consuming all the caster's MP (ie taking away es...

It's OK to rip off WOTC (literally OK -- the Drider is Open Content), but at least use the correct name instead of making up your own. You could also draw inspiration from the following: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/drider.htm http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/aberrations/drid...

taoism isnt an ancestor worship religion, so please nobody in this thread rewrite any gods based on their idea of taoism

sure minmay

so any of yall noticed that since this discussion is premised on the idea that the participants are (reading between the lines) atheist male westerners it is impossible for anyone who is not an atheist male westerner to contribute on the terms of the discussion without identifying their personal bac...

fr: put sword of hitler back into the game for the first time since 1946

a lot of the 4th wall breaking jokes and references are tacky and dont add to the game but all this self-conscious guilty armchair sociology is not great imo

less essay more code just make it already

it's a problem for players who want out of crawl basically a series of encounters whose tactical solutions aren't all trumped by using stairs. if crawl were more linear, with smaller levels, and the player less free to back up, then the player would always be challenged to discover the safest and mo...

no, crawl is just something i do as a brief distraction from life, regardless of when it's going well or poorly, and i play badly and impatiently no matter what

In current game I'm partway through lair and just encountered my 4th player ghost just in d1-8 and l1-5. this is at least two times too many. they're all easily escapable but unkillable or unreasonably risky for me at current power level without burning a lot of consumables. the result is they just ...

I think it would be cool to have more floor-wide vaults like this.

i found that vault for the first time recently too and it was very cool. i enjoyed it a lot.

I have some plans for this, but they probably won't happen in 0.20. All numbers below would have to be tuned, but that can be done with objstat and some arithmetic so as not to change the total amount of food. ⋅ Merge permafood into a single item, "ration", that is N% of the si...

when you want more stealth

Mix cancellation and curing. There is some difference between the potions, but imho not enough to justify the existence of two different items. Cancellation is also very seldom used, and its distinctive ability to lower contamination is too weak for a rare potion, while it would be good for curing ...

Liminal Step. You call upon Ru, and the thin and ethereal ribbon between creation and void reveals itself to you as a broad and easily traversed path. You pass through, blinking up to three tiles in one direction. The annihilating power of Ru seeps through the portal, damaging foes adjacent to your ...

just introduce npc ogres with shields and spears, then everyone will be happy. also introduce a "giant sharpened club" item that is a very large spear.

you're welcome.

to make crawl really noob friendly devs need to introduce unlocks, trophies, animations, and sond efeacts

wow. those pants. that cape. what should we name this little guy

that RNG feel

trog's bros have arms, for holding arms

why did dynast get banned what drama is this

environmental station alpha was good although i remember one buggy boss battle that was very difficult (serpentine monster encircles you and if it attacks from a certain angle it will circle you for a while at extremely small radius and unavoidably kill you)

sorry, i don't like it, i like being able to avoid muts without going zin

yes but also spawn them with wands, slings, and bows, imo

or merge crimson and shadow imps, give crimson imps pain

fwiw i never thought beogh was supposed to be some kind of insult to christianity, i just thought it was a joke where orcs are evil and so is their religion

is anyone here religious and offended, or just summoning indignation on behalf of unknown others

this thread.....

I tried this with vp and it didn't have much effect for me, since i had batform. i think bezotted monsters should gain ranged attacks... like a bezotted yak starts breathing fireballs 8)

if this were important to the game you could just increase !mut spawn rate
