If you reach for your rod before your spellbook...you might be a fighter.

The hobgoblin wants to go home and rethink its life.

A rod of clouds can get you through most of the game, I'd go for it. Draining clouds+haunt sounds pretty good to me.

Code:: Zuleat, the Hellbinder. A mighty spellcaster, wreathed in arcane energies, and muttering the most profane incantations you might ever have heard.

Encountered this guy in a Hell themed wizlab. It's really a beautiful vault, very nice floor markings.

Definitely don't need any more monsters interrupting autotravel with "strange disturbance in the water".

Win the game with no spells wielding a bread ration.

Could you have dropped all the meat rations by accident? I've done that before and it sucks...especially if it's in the abyss where it's gone forever.

Remember, we need make sure it's possible for traps to block both hallways in Zot 5 properly.

You could try disallowing tab at a higher %hp in your rc file. Maybe 60 or 65%.

I think it' still missing cloaks.

duvessa wrote:What would it do when the player steps on it?

Create a hostile clone of the player like Mara's illusion. Crap...this would mean that optimal play would be to travel while wielding bread.

What if the trap cloned whatever stepped on it (rename to mirror trap?) Bats and butterflies cloning themselves would be a non-issue.

?recharging currently works only on rods and wands. I think it would be consistent if the scroll also worked on other evocables, (elemental evocables, horn of geryon) recharging them instantly. This doesn't seem overpowered, since you would usually want to use recharging on wands and the misc evocab...

Code:: You finish putting on the +16 plate armour "Nukhyghi" {rF+ Curse}.

Oh noes, it's cursed!

Play Sprint!

Thanks! Glad to finally have a Sp win.

Hi guys...I need some help here. I've been stretching my food as much as possible, but I don't think I have enough left to finish the game. Zot 4 is that horrible vault where all the down stairs are clustered on the other side of the level, and I think it would take most of my remaining satiety just...

I think I just need to set up a massive damage message and force --more-- on it.

I feel your pain, I've just got Mu, Fo, Sp left to do.

142 damage in 2 turns from a conjurer. The corridors in elf are great for getting double hit by lightening :P You open the door. A black bear and a deep elf conjurer come into view. The black bear growls angrily. The deep elf conjurer gestures at you while chanting. The bolt of lightning hits the fu...

So those percentages are just for casting, and have no effect on memorizing the spell? I Did Not Know That (tm). It's not exactly intuitive interface there. I'd assumed that the percentages were the chance of successfully memorizing the spell as well as the chance of casting them. It used to work t...

Trap shadows!
Spell which animates and enslaves all shadows in LOS.

My favorites are the fleshworks wizlab, disco pan, and the depths vault with conjurer statues which fire OODs at you.

If you're on CSZO, find your name on: http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/
Other servers probably have a similar page.
Unfortunately sprint morgues are mixed in with the rest of your morgue files. But you can search by date, and if you just played this game it will be the most recent file.

The thread are walking.

Shield of reflection is great for keeping Xom amused. Also, using lamp of shadows does for some reason. You can actually use the lantern to scum for Xom gifts indefinitely, if that hasn't been fixed.

Code:: U - the +2 pair of boots "Ledoorch" (worn) {MR+ rCorr Slay+5 SInv}.

Cost $950 in a gozag shop. Time to do slime I guess.

It should also be permanent once you cast it.

Depending on your character, you can save a lot of time by diving. Berserkers especially can skip many early dungeon levels and be fine. The XP you'll lose will not amount to much. The main weakness you'll have is sub-par equipment and consumables, but if you feel too weak for your depth you can alw...

What's the vault with the conjurer statues that spam orbs of destruction at you?
just_walk_away?

If you get lost in the abyss, just stay where you are and your parents will come find you.

Are those rock walls? You could dig through them. Otherwise, maybe potion petition will give you one of flight.

Well...that's a tough one. DD really wants renewable healing, and Lugonu doesn't provide it.
I'd heal up, then switch to Trog or Makhleb, and suffer through the wrath.

Pissing off the god of berserk raging is always a good idea!
But to answer the OP's question, a vamp demon blade is an awesome weapon and you should keep using it.

Interestingly you *can* train necro with trog, as long as you don't do it too quickly. Your piety will drop over time, but it's not sudden penance like memorizing a spell. You can memorize one necro spell to start training, which will make trog mad at you but not inspire wrath. Also of note - if tro...

Someone brought slime:6 into depths as a vault.
It had a bunch of slime creatures as guards, but the only jelly was a royal jelly.

It looks like I signed up for CAO many years ago, but I can't remember my old password.

Mutation roulette is fine if you happen to have gotten lucky with the cmut potions or are planning to switch to zin soon.

Last game I somehow had 4cmut potions in lair, and used 2 of them getting a decent mutation set.

Would you perhaps instead be interested in some v1agra 4 ch3ap?

Any way to look up average number of turns it takes to figure out a labyrinth?

I just cleared out the vestibule of hell by stairdancing, and after I was done I realized that I hadn't been wearing my armour the whole time...

Also of note:

Code:: 33018 | Elf:2 | Identified the +8 great sword of Pott {freeze, MR+} (Trog gifted it to you on level 2 of the Elven Halls) 59300 | Depths:1 | Found Buttanu's One-of-a-Kind Books. 66193 | Depths:5 | Found Cocuaw's Gadget Emporium.

Don't know if this will be making it into a stable version, but I'm glad I finally got the chance to dual wield in crawl.
