If you insist on fighting him, quaff haste, hit him with phial, then acid a few times, then sack, then a couple boxes, then maybe back to acid or sack. Keep him in the water surrounded by spiders and shit, let them do the work.

Doesn't Mennas fly?

Tbh yokkaso sounds stupid too, call them dryads since that's what they are. And at the same time rename Tzitzimimeh shadow fiends

Do a blood saint : Demonspawn + 27 Invocations + Evil god

Wow this elaborate pun certainly deserves it's very own forum thread.

You should be fine in the Abyss since you have a staff of energy and lots of food. Always use it to regen MP while you're in there. Also watch out for the noise of your spells, Lightning Bolt or Conjure Ball Lightning will draw monsters to you. Otherwise the usual Abyss advice, explore only with hig...

e) Use item : Sonja's phone

d) Use Acid Spit

Please use piety-on-kills like everyone, having 3 different ways to gain piety is just ridiculous.

Also LRD, probably the best Earth spell, kills evasive enemies just fine

I see you died in Hell. After 2000 games you finally have your chance to win and then you blow it by trying the extended game. I mean, it's just a game, it's no big deal, but I don't get it. Lol I did that too in a few offline games before my first win ^^ I can totally understand the compulsion to ...

I just look forward to playing a YoMo^Ma

But in the case of the OP vault, this means the loot is impossible to get. I for one find that extremely frustrating as a player. With the bailey vault axe you can at least in theory learn shatter late-game if you really want it. No one has shatter in the labyrinth; thus there's no way to get insid...

It's almost always more efficient to skip/avoid encounters you don't feel comfortable with (in your case RELec monsters) than warping and wrecking your skillset to be able to face the occasional one. JFYI, Airstrike kills rElec creatures pretty effectively (which is mostly sky beasts, shock serpent...

Also before you die you can press "+" to enter "explore mode" that lets you not die, but prevents your game from being scored. It could be good to have the option upon dying though.

Sure, just watch out for the Nibelungs !

The one I really despise is the dream sheep sleep ability ignoring MR. This seems like exactly what MR should be for ("Affects your ability to resist the effects of enchantments and similar magic directed at you." says the manual), and it is not communicated to the player in any way. You c...

Which makes unresistable dream sheep sleep ever more fun !

When I read the thread title, I assumed it was going to be something that encouraged building different types of damage, rather than more anti-summoning. Something like a monster which when hit by elemental damage, gets an elemental barrier which blocks/reduces all further elemental damage, until h...

Maybe note that "having Blade Hands castable" means "below 20% fail" and not "below 10% fail" as with other spells

Reducing them to a single floor is probably excessive, they do help get a feel of Hell effects and monster types before tackling the boss floor

"As you approach the altar, you're able to discern some features partially identifying the god. This may be an altar to Trog, Gozag or Jyiva."

I like the idea, though I don't think ghost fights are interesting enough as of now to base a portal or a game mode on them. However, I feel like Crawl could use some more Norse mythology references (afaik as of now there's only the giants, and those were taken from D&D, which took them from nor...

Also remove that degenerate Deep Dwarf healing under Makhleb no healing --> no god healing Do you have any mechanical reason to not let mummies use potion petition?

Obligatory xkcd : https://xkcd.com/1781/

Most disappointing is Heavenly Storm, which costs a ton of piety, but gives no defensive bonus, so you're taking just as much damage as you would be fighting them all at once in the open and unbuffed. I've often had to abort Heavenly Storm after only a couple turns because I was taking too much dam...

That's too bad, do whirlwind and wall jumps trigger cleave ? (just picture it, axenado !)

Counterproposal : give these statements to Halflings for every kind of food.

If you're posting in GDD instead of CYC, you're not likely to get many responses unless you explain why your changes belong in the game, specifically : ⋅ Why do you feel like the game would benefit from a species with those changes (namely a small buff, a huge buff and a huge debuff) ? &sd...

I could see a system using an action queue in ready() : if action queue is empty: -- do some checks that put some actions in the queue, like check a global variable do_butcher_corpse else -- pop the first item in the action queue, map it to a function and do that function (like food.eat, or crawl.do...

Alternatively : remove evocables as items, instead add them to the ability menu upon pickup

Vitality would be my choice in most cases because you need the extra HP as a deep elf, and I see Majin-Bo which will drain some life as you cast (if you use it.) There might be some specific places where the brooch might come in more handy if you're getting shot a lot with ranged things (shoals for...

But you cant get speed with ?brand weapon - and actually speed is a possible brand for most weapon type only if artifact Man, there go all my dreams...

Why is Vehumet everybody's #1 choice for blaster mages? He is! It's a total mystery why! I'll never tell you. . . . OK here it is. ⋅ He gives you spells of the kind blaster mages need. Having the right spell over not having it makes a huge difference. If you are a background like a wizard...

Wait no this is wrong. I tried : { local is_first_turn = true function ready() if is_first_turn then you.set_training_target('Fighting', 9) is_first_turn = false end end } and it works fine, but it executes every time you load the game, not once per game. You want to do : { function ready() if you.t...

What you could do is put it all in the ready() function and condition it to only run once :

Code:: { local is_first_turn = true function ready() if is_first_turn then -- set your training targets here is_first_turn = false end end }

It's not very elegant, but it should do what you want.

Why is Mu bad? Just start as a gladiator with a quarterstaff (staves are cheap, good for low attributes), take Okawaru, go heavy armor, get a lajatang of vampricism after a while, and them win.

I don't know about your specific implementation, but there is a lua binding for setting and getting skill targets : http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~ebering/crawl/lua/modules/you.html#set_training_target https://github.com/crawl/crawl/commit/a7893f84d51c6200db5bcee0da5e6e7b0b3324e2

Code:: the ring of the Modern Beggars (left hand) {rPois rF+ rC+ MR+ Int+2}. You found it on level 8 of the Dungeon.

Me : "Hey how about giving me a ring that would cover all of my basic resistances and offset my MiBe's low Int?"
Floorgod : "Yup you got it."

Wow thanks a lot for taking the time to reply to this old thread

Unfortunately what I want to do is change options while in the middle of autoexploring, which you're telling me is impossible (short of rewriting autoexplore in Lua).
Thank you very much for the info though, at least now I know

Demigods can be pretty hard to play, I would rather advise you to play Gr or Hu for a mage (GrEE is very strong, IE is a very strong background for anyone).

That chain mail probably gives way better defenses than the faerie dragon scales, without sacrificing rCorr. Try them both on and take the one which gives the most AC+EV. I would not dare go to Slime with a MiBe using Mace&Flails anyway.
