It's a gargoyle with +15 plate what did you expect

Don't forget the ring of Robustness!

That is easy. DoomRL.

So spoiled this game, basically never needed Lucy outside of Zot:5, where both lungs were blocked off my tele traps and I didn't have stasis (admittedly I didn't ctrl-f it), so I had one spot where I had to escape to the abyss. All in all though, this may have been my easiest win ever. Dungeon Crawl...

Rogue Legacy and Spelunky are not roguelikes though. oh okay the entire study is useless then. girls must be playing since spelunky is not a roguelike. the guys who ran that are probably totally incompetent. Not questioning the girls part, just the survey in general. Of course, I would do that on p...

Based on the wiki info, all I'm gaining from it is some spell power and reduced hunger. Examining the difference, it was one pip in only LCS hunger (three instead of two) and some spells that had plenty to spare, for a trade of 5 AC, giving a permanent boost equal to the (very) temporary Stoneskin ...

Was I wrong in thinking you were being sarcastic?

Ahh, getting a bad GDD thread banished to CYC...so satisfying.

Rogue Legacy and Spelunky are not roguelikes though.

is a human worshipping cheibriados without the great abilities and no slowpoke movement really that interesting Let's not turn this into another shitty Chei thread, please. I think this has to do more with the proposal being like Chei in that it grants you stat increases, but without the god abilit...

Zin, tso, ely all have balance problems and there are too many gods esp in trunk. Make them all one god, Keep what works, remove what doesnt, and dont worry too much because all the other gods are op anyway. Ely is boring but I don't know about unbalanced and TSO is not that great outside of extend...

I do have a demon trident of elec, but the resists are dismal. Why aren't you using this instead of the cutlass?! Fuck the resists. Also I note that you have a +2 robe of rF, that might be better than your Archmagi, but someone with more experience with blastydudes would be able to tell you better ...

Heck, what makes you think that the rest of us aren't just one really busy person?

Yeah, I thought we were all minmay!

I've also seen guest spectators coming in, not saying anything, and leaving after 2-3 minutes, not responding when I say "hello" :/ When I first started seeing spectators in my game, I would always say hi, but most were anon and ignored me, so I just assumed they were using some kind of i...

He had every wand, already, and truly doesn't need any more. Food?...Prolly should've went jewelry, since he has just about every piece in the game, also. (But not slaying, so that's probably what would have been acquired.) He was wearing all armor slots filled, all but one magical, so I was just h...

Sorry, but offline doesn't count.

Spoiler: show

Sprints may use Crawl to function, but they are not necessarily designed with Crawl's design philosophy in mind.

Possibly this would have more use with weaker wands than heal wounds in the example, at least i often skip picking up damage wand, if i already have same type in inventory. Considering that the ground is your "stash" (at least in trunk), if you really need those wands you can always go ba...

I'm not sure on the min delay/base delay for sniper these days, I believe it's been upped to the point where it's no longer possible to reach min delay - sniper is a crossbow that you just keep training for better damage/aut, like the dark maul, only not terrible. The in game description should giv...

Slime is generally considered part of extended and a very dangerous choice for your third rune. The third run is generally always vaults, although a few times I've gotten the abyssal rune instead. Note that the abyss has gotten slightly nastier lately, and so that might be even less of an alternati...

yea sure for an experienced player. but going down there the first time, it can easily kill you. scroll of fear will only help some turns but wont help in any way if u dont have the equipment to beat those guys. Except you shouldn't go to V:5 unless you have "the equipment to beat those guys&q...

You seem to be missing most aux armor slots and your main armor could be much better...I'd say you should definitely acquire some armor. Except, unless it has changed, armor acquirement has a chance to give you plain (and with recent trunk changes that means +0) versions of aux armor you don't alre...

Well, there were some pretty good shops on d:13, along with The Vaults entrance and welcoming party. Cleared it fine, and bought a few things, including a nice pair of Assassin boots. I was surprised that they grant antennae 1, since no direct mention is made in the mods, and it does not show up as...

Hirsch I wrote:awesome. ?vulnerability still does that as well?

No. Only halves MR.

i think vault is dangerous because they close the stairs.. if u dont have powerful abilities which can safely kill the guardians via smite targetting etc i would also avoid it. did vaults 5 very late with my character. slime had very low monster density on my running game but i think it can be much...

I'm not sure whether this is sarcasm or not so I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's not. Og is an extremely strong species right now independent of throwing, it is most likely in the top 10 and certainly above median. Ah, looks like I was out of date. Using the crude metric of winrate: * (og cv=0.12)...

When you are in a place you can't go back immediately, it is meaningful. There were a few places, but instead of increasing the number of places and the meaningfulness, it was removed, as was removed the excitement those situations brought. Portal levels, Pan, and Abyss are the locations where this...

But please, not so mechanical. In version 0.20 I don't want to win just holding the auto-play button (in fact if wasn't for the stairs, one could already do that). I don't think you understand my post. Focusing on flavor/roleplaying often leads to bad/stupid/annoying mechanics, fitting flavor aroun...

Looks like a lot of the same stuff as you see elsewhere, particularly the misplaced idea that a roguelike's primary focus should be on flavor/roleplaying and not mechanics.

Incursion : nice roguelike based on d20, dead btw. Dual wielding. Altar sacrifices. Rare game where alpha actually means buggy. REALLY BUGGY. Not that interesting if you're not into D&D, because features interesting interpretation of rules adapted for PC. He released the source code for this an...

HDA, your rc file has saved my ass so many times.

Seriously, I feel as though this forum is made up of people determined to reduce every suggestion to some sort of logical extreme, mixed in with petty snipes. It never used to be like this, and I can't see how it does anyone any favors. Speaking of petty snipes... But in all seriousness, we just do...

Aule wrote:Oh, and just out of curiosity, had I acquired the slimy rune of Zot to pay the Trove fare, would it have taken it from me?

The only thing that troves will ask for that they will not take from you are a rune or the horn of Geryon.

This is the problem I have with one line posts: duvessa doesn't explain why he feels earth is the worst. My guess is it's not the resistance, but because earth damage is physical, and therefore it checks AC. I believe, but could be wrong, that fire/cold/air bypass AC, and check the relevant resista...

+9 on weapon, and 4+4+6 slaying.

Rods can be increased to increase their recharge rates. I definitely support allowing enhancer staves to be improved with enchant weapon scrolls as long as it was just a pure addition to their melee capabilities before the additional effects. Shouldn't that be after the additional effects (assuming...

Bim wrote:Having poison resist in an area you know you probably won't need it, or a +2/3/4 is an interesting decision.

I don't see the interesting decision, you take the AC. Maybe if you know you need it it becomes interesting, but if you probably don't?

The problem is that we have wayyyy too much autofighting. What does this even mean? You autofight when it doesn't matter and it allows you to press exactly 1 button instead of 1 of 8 (or if you are doing a ranged character, 1 button instead of 2 or 3), and if you need to deal with a specific threat...

dck wrote:Because it is not sensible to call 75% of your HP low.

I agree, this is a bit much. Still, I do find it useful to set my hp warning and autofight variables higher than the default settings.

I'm not saying that the other balances don't exist, or that they're not on the same level/more important balances than food, just that food could be made relevant again. Except that is exactly what tabstorm's proposal is, to make food relevant again , by using it to force you to move forward rather...

rosstin wrote:Anti-Magic over Holy Wrath? That would surprise me... I never play extended though.

Holy wrath may kill most things in extended a bit faster, but anti-magic makes many threats weaker since you take away their ability to spam you with high level spells.

I got my hands on a Reflecting Shield, Lightning Scales (acquirement), and a Disc of Storms; I've been able to spam Disc of Storms in every fight and not take any damage (the shield deflects lightning effects that hit me, and the scales take care of the rest). I'm reluctant to change my strategy, s...

Duvessa, tone it down a bit - there's no need to be snarky with every comment. The main complaint with water creatures is that you can attack and retreat at leisure and the proposal of both ranged and constricting monsters counters that directly. This is not snark, but trying to get back on topic. ...

Two things.

1) Enclose your dump in code tags, please.
2) Don't use a guide on the wiki.

Here's a somewhat silly idea: Make them Papervores. They activate scrolls by eating them, but get too enthusiastic: Reading a scroll forces you to to use all of the scrolls in that stack. Reading a spellbook is fine, but memorizing a spell consumes the book. It'd be pretty easy to game that system,...
