I think it's easier to implement as a "stasis sphere" - if it just spawns temporary transparent walls in its radius, potentially surrounding anything caught within its boundaries without moving them. I think this would make it even more OP though.

If you cast tornado, shatter, firestorm and glaciate in the same combat, then you're kinda like the Avatar.

Unless there's an octopode race with multiple heads, you should probably get used to gear swapping.

Wait, what? Isn't this a bit like running to the shop in the rain to buy an umbrella?

You should allow training of skills that crosstrain with things in your inventory, then a club or spear would be like a crappy staff that gets better as you improve staves.

This is what I ended up doing, but if antimagic was definitively better, then I'd have considered using the Holy brand on a ranged weapon.

Ah I see.

I'm failing to see the downside of selecting the "both" option.

EDIT: If I had to choose one to enchant up first, as I'm guessing is the intent of the question, I'd probably do HW first since AM seems to work well at draining magic regardless of enchantment level. I could be wrong.

Code:: You toss away a slice of pizza. The slice of pizza misses the titan. The titan is distracted by the delicious pizza. You make your escape!

If by "powerful" you mean "easiest for beginners" I would vote for Gr. It lets you basically ignore two of the biggest annoyances in extended (rot and torment) without having to understand when to cast spells like statue form or necromutation. The high AC and naked GDR also help...

Yes! Only the killing blow counts, per the message log.

It's like the opposite of TSO for extended, I like it.

Gratz on Vaults:5. Can't believe you almost beat the game in 2 weeks. You should be able to win without problems with this character. Noise management is key in Zot:5 as a Qaz follower.

Does not show thrown pizza, I am disappoint.

Where were his supply lines? How did he manage to project his forces so far from Dragonstone? He had no supply lines, just packed the remnants of his army on the remnants of his fleet, and sailed North. Oh sweet mercy. So much for being a great war leader, a three year old could tell you that's a t...

E.g., Fire dragon breathes on you, and you have rF+++ and you resist. Does it from now on just close the distance and apply the beatdown?

I imagine it doesn't do this currently. Would it be interesting if it did?

I was surprised Stannis didn't end up winning. Part of a long line of shit that makes no sense. So he went north and defeated a huge army of wildlings without even trying much.

I've lost interest to be honest. Last few episodes just reinforced the notion that this series is just torture porn set in a pseudo fantasy setting.

Seems like the tactical solution is to reduce the base amount of MP per level and increase the bonus MP per spellcasting. So you'd need more spellcasting if you want to spam more spells, rather than a larger stomach.

Pan lords respawn on Pan levels, never on other levels until the orb run. This is significant because the temporary nature of Pan levels in general makes them 100% ignorable and I've never had the sense that they're in hot pursuit, just "oh hey, good to see ya, bye". It's really not anythi...

Is inner flame good synergy with Gell's Gravitas? Haven't tried.

Getting to starving during a difficult encounter when you have to cast multiple level 9 conjurations or LCS is a tough gotcha for new players. You simply don't feel the effect in simple encounters, and when you do it's in a difficult situation and there's no easy way to resolve it without completely...

This one was favored from the start. Got a Ru altar at D:2 and then a randart +9 vampiric quarterstaff at D:5, then a ring of EV+5 on D:6, it was easy street after that. Apocalypse by Lair is fun. Killed an entire flock of around 10-15 yaks in one turn in Lair:8. Other notable fun incidents: ⋅&...

Glad to see I'm not the only one to "underuse" Ru's abilities. I always wonder if I should be using them to make my life easier and then I think "what if I need them later?" -- and sometimes I really do and it saves me a consumable.

So, Wiglaf?

I think the simplest thing is to remove it, otherwise you'd do weird strategies like pre-ID all your rings to find that cursed ring of tele, so that you can slip it on your finger when you enter the Abyss.

archaeo wrote:I'd regret this, since I like having access to lots of teleportation

Should increase the gen rate of ?tele slightly to compensate.

Apocalypse pretty much one shots everything in lair at max piety. I think it would be hilarious to pull a giant horde and then apocalypse the lot in one move.

Survive!

Give her a smite attack and let one of her spells be "summon hostile butterflies" which spawns hostile (normal) butterflies centered on the user for that totally locked-down experience. Oh and give her access to Dimensional Anchor too.

It's essentially critical. Watch the show......

Every single shot in Breaking Bad is tremendously significant. I'm not exaggerating, the damn thing is a work of art.

Breaking bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKAzfd8oTWs It was a statistically extremely difficult shot (the pizza had to be thrown with the box, the box had to come off and the pizza had to land on the roof like 10 feet above the ground), and Bryan Cranston got it on the first take.

I think the truism that the game gets easier as you get more tactical options applies only more to highly skilled players that make almost no tactical mistakes. As the game gets more predictable, the impact of randomness decreases allowing a skilled player to be significantly more assured of a win -...

+1000 internets if the character is named Heisenberg.

ToME has exactly this concept. I don't like it because if all consumables recharge then they all have to be kinda weak.

I love how the sons of harpies are supposed to be from the noble families that Danaerys offended, so apparently the 1% in Mereen are more like 99% of the population and are willing to sacrifice themselves by the hundreds in massively wasteful human-wave tactics.

This. That one time on 0.16 when all damage was doubled and nobody noticed.

That is good to know, and good coding! Thanks.

The AI is fine from a difficulty standpoint. What could be improved is (unless playing stabby or slow moving builds), one particular technique tends to work much better than anything else, and that particular technique happens to be the most tedious combat gameplay in the game. 1.

I have one giant blob of 30 chunks butchered at different times, does the game keep track of each act of butchering separately internally, or does the blob all rot together as one?

Crawl is a true roguelike, it's base form is the terminal. If you stop thinking of tiles as pixel art, and more of "how do I encode as much visual info into 32x32 pixels as I can do with a single colored symbol that is referencing a known concept" then the challenges are clear. Seeing a ca...

Would be nice for Ru followers have a more accurate indication of what is needed for max piety though. Nothing like chopping off a hand when you could have just sacrificed a couple points from a dump stat, because it all just looks like *****-
