Once my Ds dude bested Cerebov in melee, using "just" a big shield and a +9 demon blade of elec. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly; Cerebov could even barely dish out any damage.

Well imagine that level, only there are five of them, and they also have mobile water turrets, and enemies that can lower your MR, put you to sleep and stab you, and enemies that make your attacks weaker after you kill them, and enemies that can teleport you into a random pool of water on that leve...

Nah, it's safer to start it here.

What a serious proposal!

You can cast in plate armour just fine, even with 9 Int; it just takes more xp, but eventually you can do it. Even fighters usually want repel missiles, blink, swiftness, apportation, haste, etc. (If you can find a wand of hasting then you don't need to worry about learning the spell.)

How about Durga? (from the Hindu god)

- Potion of Lignification can make Sigmund-killing easier.

Where's XuaXua? We need some serious ideas here.

I'm so sick of these 'experienced players!' Those blue-named buttholes like duvessa and dck are always so mean to me just to pat themselves on the back, you know what I mean? Huh, mopl wanted help?

Sorry for being off-topic, but I gotta say that this: I think this is even more complicated than my proposal, and have no true advantage. please, post it in a separate thread if you want feedback, if every beogh fixing proposal comes to this one, it will become a living hell. Ok thanks man. still lo...

duvessa wrote:2d5, same as other exploding ammo.

Damn, this seems rather low. Do they have any advantage over ordinary exploding ammo? (I'm guessing the hellfire ammo ignore AC, but is it good enough? I never liked exploding bullets.)

I mean the unrandart:

Also an unrandart +6,+6 crossbow rf++, rc-, mr+ which shoots hellfire bolts (hellfire elemental damage and exploding); was +6,+9 and merely flaming in 0.13-.

How much damage does the hellfire blast deal? Is it the same as vanilla hellfire?

this is an increasingly creepy thread

Crawl: Try to be less attached to my characters, or at least try to be less emotional when they die (not easy to do since the devs keep adding ridiculous features like deep troll EE, deep troll shaman, the new draconian shifter (blink encircling is crazy), the forest, etc, lol).

Why nobody thanked this post is beyond me.

I'm starting to think that you are serious. In case you are, the joke was (or was supposed to be) that while you can't learn anything about Crawl from the bots' posts, reading them doesn't make you worse at Crawl either which isn't necessarily the case with some advice that has been historically gi...

https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10316 What's hilarious is that this is a situation where tedious, optimal behavior could have prevented a lot of trouble, something the Philosophy section of the Crawl manual specifically states that Crawl avoids, and rather than do something a...

If he's XuaXua, you shouldn't bother asking. But he's not, so yeah.

diviton wrote:The wiki says that Distortion damage is not based on the weapons base damage and as such, says it's best when faster weapons are branded with distortion. This is of course an advantage for the Demon Trident.

Well. both can only be "quite fast", AFAIK, so speed isn't an issue here.

XuaXua wrote:I have obviously not been posting enough lately.

You seem like the most serious guy in the Tavern.

The thing the blue named players are trying to communicate is that all those tools that make elf safer make getting runes and the orb safer too. And presently, only lair and orc contain neither runes nor the orb but still increase the chance of getting runes and the orb more then they increase the ...

Neither '5' nor repeat command with '.' is optimal.

Paying 2 MP and 1 turn isn't optimal either.

I was trying to suggest some disadvantage as the ability clearly saves food otherwise.

What? How long do the clouds usually last, anyway?

Aside from rune stopping apt rot (which is just weird), this is actually a decent idea. But maybe give the apt rot to ghouls or some other undead race, since mummies are immune to rotting.

I guess this would buff needlestabbers

Well, there are tomahawks and javelins.

Yeah skyspire, you need to read the wiki less and the knowledge bots more:

Henzell says... wrote:A form of draconians that can spit acid (which corrodes armour or causes bleeding). Player character gets no unique aptitudes. Gains rCorr at XL 7. Gets an acidic bite at XL 14.

But yeah, random swear words ain't cool.

What, really? It is already "blindingly fast".

We could give yellow dracs a passive ability a la spiny mutation: when you get hit in melee, your attacker suffers some acid damage.

Kiku's protection does not always work (I think it's 2 in 3 chances or something).

If you kill an summoner its summons go away.

Oh yeah, this. This is GREAT.

1. You can't enter the Vaults without a rune;
2. Dungeon is only 16 levels deep;
3. Between the normal dungeon and realm of zot, there's a "new" place called the Depths, which is basically the normal dungeon on steroid;
4. Forest is still awful.

Well there's a new potion that gives you treeform, so is it really that bad?

Anyway, yeah, absolutely, Fedhas is super good. Stupid good, even. Cheap permanent allies? Cheap spore bombs? Cheap plant shields around you? And even cheap oklobs? Niice.

What if... Crawl is actually a favorite among celebrities all these years, they're just too embarrassed to admit it?

I completed everything except post-endgame, Zot:4 and Zot:5, and the Forest itself, and yet it was still a pain in the rear. Really, I get what the nymphs are supposed to do in the game, but the way they mess with us now is just cheap.

Nessos makes a good Mid-boss. He is highly annoying, hard to hit, and quite threatening.

And he drops good stuff (flaming longbow).

Water nymphs are BS.
