Yeah, what happened to it? I had a manual, was training it, got the skill up to 15, stopped training, and I can't find the manual anywhere. Does it destroy itself? I'm playing 0.15, so it couldn't have burned up (AFAIK, unless there's still a chance of item destruction whilst standing in flames). An...

Not sure if you know this or not, but the enemy's summoned monsters would disappear if you killed the caster, so if you still have a shot to take down the caster, you can do what I do, which is ignore whatever is summoned. They also disappear after a time, so if you retreat and come back, the summon...

Congrats on your first win!

Congrats! Now it your turn for DEWz.

(I met the Enchantress for the first time today in my latest game, and got my first ever faerie dragon armor. It's +0, and only slay+4, but whatever, it was nice to see it finally. You got a nice one!)

Think of all those times you were trying to target something and it was just out of reach, darnit. Yeah, it's a boon, especially early-mid-game when you need every advantage to survive. And it's a quadratic boon!

(That sounds like a great randart name.)

Those work, too. :lol:

What we really need in our language is another pronoun that denotes a genderless sentient being. "It" is insufficient since "it" can apply to anything at all, including a mindless rock. Maybe we can just make one up for the crawl universe, since it's, you know, a made-up universe...

Congratulations! What a victory. I'm pretty surprised about the 4% fail rates. Is that because of lich form?

Is there a definitive resource to sort out the he/she/it parade?

Is he finished?

Iron shot at full MP, keeping fingers crossed. Generally, I like to have an elemental cloud under it while I'm doing that, also. Not to mention an escape route. Should take 2-3 hits to kill it.

I5 is IS, at least on my calculator.

Maybe fog/heal wounds after invis, too, or would that be overkill? Gotta at least find a way to safely rest, maybe another up stairs nearby? This is why I normally clear places. Little good can come from a surprise retreat into unknown environs. I did not know that ghost moths not only can't see inv...

Will you at least try Sif Muna to change something? That has already been done well over 100 times, my friend. I began the quest with Sif as my guide, "religiously." Vehumet offered far better benefits for this character and my style of play. I can quantify them for you. ⋅ no in...

The pixel for the stairs on the right side of the level 1 hidden passageway is not there, and that is where one should be. It must be a bug, and should be reported via Mantis. The devs can open the savefile to examine, maybe.

Even an uncontrolled blink would have been better than standing next to him for another turn. Even one space would have given you a chance to quaff that potion, or more. Keep trying. (After the good book, that's fine.

) Don't give up!

I don't see where he said that. Also, even if he did say it, he simply may have made a grammatical misstatement, since there are a few other such common mistakes in his posts.

I'm trying IMB right now, and I have to say it's pretty underwhelming for a level 4 spell. If I had a scroll of amnesia, I'd get rid of it. I gave it a long time, trying it repeatedly against many types of enemies, and it's just unpredictable and weak, IMO. Archmagi robe, gourmand amulet and an MP r...

Why so many inscriptions? The {!r} is prompt before reading, I get that. Is {!d} the same as {!D}? What are {@e1} and {@w0}?

That's funny.

I was astonished at the difficulty of my last Crypt:3, so I can understand. But why was your EV only 1? That seems awfully low.

Thank you, and I couldn't possibly be bored by wizards, :D You guys (and gals?)... thanks for the advice and company. I truly never thought it possible when I began playing this offline. I was scumming hard just to see what lay ahead in store, and it was just nuts. So I came to play it for real. Lea...

You've clearly gotten better and it shouldn't take nearly as long to get the next character off the ground and try extended :) Well, Magipi has babysat on a few occasions, so I can't take all the credit. Good peeps, that Magi of pi. I find the company both distracting and focusing at the same time,...

And here we are. The fork in the road. Do I run for the win, or do I have some more fun with this totally enthralling character I've created? http://oi61.tinypic.com/2ex7p77.jpg Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.15-b1-96-ga104039 (webtiles) character file.

Well, I was signed up today, after sending the email (the link even creates the message title for you), writing simply please and thank you in the body. So I can make edits, now. So maybe you could try again if you're truly interested? That was the reason I commented on this, actually. The OP was se...

It's a wiki, so why don't you make the changes you would like to see yourself? It would probably take as much time and effort as posting them here to make fun of them. It's a wiki only in name, it's not open to editing by the public. Well, it says here, in the top box, right under the title: New co...

You think this map was trying to tell me something? http://oi60.tinypic.com/3005dzd.jpg Well, some people just never listen. 136656 | Crypt:3 | Noticed Khufu 136658 | Crypt:3 | Killed Khufu Skull and crossbones map. Awesome. "You were warned." He even left a half-eaten pizza for me. Nice.

If they are like statues, and made of ice, then why not? Not that Glaciate needs to be more powerful, but from a consistency's perspective, it's an odd variation from the theme.

That is simply amazing. So when you train armor and shields that high, are there still penalties for heavier armor? I'm amazed you can survive with a robe through all that. But you obviously know how to play that combination of god and skills very well.

They say I can win right now with this character, but I'm thinking about going for more than four runes. The zig was fun, and there was never any real danger of dying through all the levels before I bailed, but I got pretty nervous all the same. He has been insanely lucky with finds. Almost nothing ...

This would be a real nerf for wizards, who have it quite hard enough in the beginning, thank you very much. "What?? You can stay alive long enough to have fun? How about if we take this spell from you? Let's see how good you are now ! Muahhahah..." Anyway, it's already been nerfed by not l...

Not to mention, such a mechanic would basically eliminate the threat of wrath for anyone. Just wait out the piety clock before you abandon. I think it should have some kind of definitive indicator, though. There should be a way to tell how close the god is to being mollified. How about the religion ...

Is this a for-real message, the second-to last one at the end? Welcome back, Meriados the High Elf Wizard. Sif Muna whispers: I know many secrets...

Naturally, I'm confused. The newest version is 0.15, so what gives?

On-topic, here's my best win:

That'd be pretty cool if friendly, tho. I'd want to deliberately confuse just to try generating a clone. :twisted:

Does it persist until killed? Heheh

Wow, I misremembered and misunderstood a lot there. Well, I don't want added keystrokes nor the high mana cost for what I consider to be my mid-game utility spell. Now I know better. Thanks. If only I can remember it correctly, this time.

Acquiring from Vehumet delayed fireball does not also grant plain ol' fireball, as it does (or at least used to) in the good books. Why? Had to burn an amnesia scroll, because I don't care about delayed FB without FB.

Unless its result chances can be influenced by some controllable means, you'd have to be crazy to use it. Evo or Invo modifier? I'd guess evo.

Finally found a nice ring. And a third tele wand. And Lair:1 was completely normal and reasonable, this time. Like "The Jeffersons," is he. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.15-b1-91-gafc2b96 (webtiles) character file. Aule the Thaumaturge (Deep Elf Wizard) Turns: 18646, Time: 02:21:57 HP...

All your files are in http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/[playername], including ttyrecs.

Edit: they should be, at least they are for me.

I nominate... oh, nevermind.

cBlink is awesome if you can get it running, but can poison be that dangerous at that high level? In my limited experience, I've only seen poison become less dangerous to mere annoyance to not even noticeable. What have I not encountered, yet, and where is it?

Grats. Looks beefy. Just curious, though. Why these?

Code:: b - Controlled Blink Tloc N/A 100% 7 ####### ... f - Cure Poison Pois #......... 99% 2 None

Have to call it quits for today, so here's the last spot report. D:6 and 7 were both cake walks. Remove Curse scroll found, all easy kills. The most interesting thing here is in the question asked after the previous incarnation regarding tele scroll stashes. Two of four wands found so far are tele, ...

Dude, be careful..... I'm rooting for you, so don't jinx it! :) Play cautious and careful. Pay attention to the spells you decide to learn (try to keep it to only 2 elemental schools). Focus mainly on doing damage, but for a Wizard I have never EVER turned off Fighting or Dodging. Any little bit of...
