What skills does reaver bring to the table?

programmer? Art?

#removerods

Reform is good.

Get out of the past, you hippies.

Also, can someone explain how these things work? I rarely see one but when I do, I don't know what to do with it, game explains nothing.

^for good players, which is like 1% of Crawl's playerbase. :p Everyone else dies going for runes like normal people. Good apts: Unique with the superhuman exp, allows versatility and adaption and fun. Bad apts: Forces the same exact skill boosting we see in the hundred other species with bad apts. S...

^where is this lore mentioned?

I like Halflings more personally, but both could get usurped by more interesting designs. Goblins(better dark magic), Leprechauns(half price at stores), etc.

The main point being it doesn't change Pan at all, and it encourages Elven Halls to at least be tried during 3 rune games. Not sure it'd be a bad thing.

How about dropping the Demonic Rune(doesn't even have a hardcore guardian like the other 4 Pan runes) and making an Elven Rune for Elven Halls? Only rune without some kind of awesomeness around it(epic branch, nasty guardian, stage of Hell, etc.) And Elven Halls is the only major branch without a ru...

reaver is dev now? What does he doooo?

inb4 0.15: tengu reavers on D:4 edition

7 Sins <3

It levels faster, has some better apts(fighting, necromancy, invocations, etc.) and gives you insane mutations non-stop.
Take that away and nobody would play them :p

Demigod connotes something special, when godless is probably the key aspect (as Sar noted). Simple fix. Change the race to Heathen. This~ It barely holds onto the demigod flavor, a name change would help the current version. And weird to see people who say 'apts don't matter' 'exp is barely noticea...

'One of the strongest species' 11 wins in a tournament with a million characters. What does that say about how fun they are? It barely holds a 'demigod' flavor with the current design, and conflicts with chei's stat boosts making the latter even less popular, since people can just boot up a Dg and g...

The question is. Why does leveling up and learning skills faster while retaining #1 stats in the game make them 'less interesting' than the current 'might be level 5 by lair' Dg?

Just wait for it to hit 27 species, then they -have- to remove them by their own 27 code. Formicids can regain GSC/Rocks to make Ogres obsolete and open up that slot for octocactus

Minor apt boosts?

Shoals:2 has Nessos, Kirke, Saint Roka, Donald, and Polyphemus.

Demigods: Least wins in 0.14 tournament due to unfun-undesirable play.

I changed those based on humans 'slightly 1-up'ing' them in every regard equally.

Demigods are supposed to be half gods, or sons of gods retaining supernatural skills and power. Better than a human in everyway. The current ones don't have this feeling. If a Crawl Dg and Hu were in a barracks training swords, the Human would master them first. Then mock the demigod for being a son...

Remove Halfling
Remove Kobold
Add Goblin, a more dark magic based small race, and 10x more interesting than the former two combined.

Cheibriados characters can get surrounded easily, and can enjoy cleaving.

The dungeons are kind of getting more open lately.(come back, corridorssss)

I drop frost/flame/darts instantly. Why sit there clicking it, aiming, firing, just for 1 hp damage if that, when you can mystic blast/great mace them to death in a hit or two?

They can't throw large rocks either in trunk, now.

Outside of fire brand to kill hydras, never liked these personally!

*rages over formicids not having gsc or rocks in 0.15*

Probably gonna be moved to CYC for lack of details. Just want to say I dislike the 'this is a mummy with more hp!' 'this is a felid mixed with an octopode!' as if it's a reason to deny a greatly designed species.. There's already loads of species with massive similarities. Some permutations are inte...

I think Chei went a little overboard with slowing down the madness of the Abyss.

Too lazy to quote page 1, but just want to point out I said 'for trog' @ bastard sword/claymore.
I have a level 10 character with a claymore in my current game swinging it pretty quick already.

Couple of questions on these.

1) How much damage do you gain wearing one for fire/ice mages?
2) Can an Octopode wear 8 rings of fire and burn a hole straight to zot with a megafireball or does stacking end at 2 rings?

D:1 Crystal Plate Armour, alrighty!
D:3 potion of experience!
............
'you slay the lernaean hydra!'
"woooo close one, 5 hp left."
'lernaean hydra respawns'
'lernaean hydra attacks'
'you die!'

Gonna discourage Chei.
I had a GarChei mage and, well, it got Nessos-OHK'ed.

*proposes 100% damage 'hit everything' cleave*

No pic but I love the green portal 'test your luck' nemelex xobeh thing.
then 'you win!' when you get the loot vault instead of the monsters.

Damage Claymore: 19 Exectioner's Axe: 18 Bardiche: 18 Great Mace: 17 Lajatang: 16 Accuracy Lajatang: -3 Claymore: -4 Great Mace: -4 Bardiche: -6 Executioner's Axe: -6 Skill needed for min delay Lajatang: 14 Great Mace: 20 Claymore: 24 Executioner's Axe: 26 Bardiche: 26 If I'm using Fedhas, I like B...

Claymore and Bastard Sword(with shield) are my favorites.

Fight him. You'll be like level 10 if you win.

I like using Conjure Flame with CeHu. Block corridor(or damage the crazies that walk through it) and just shoot away.

Unarmed Combat is stronger than most weapons, especially with troll claws. Stick with it.

0.12 last Spring. I can only stand playing a handful of roguelikes, and Crawl is easily the best out of those. Love the active development. I like how skill can push you to wins, not just some silly trap dungeon where a spear pops out, plunges through your heart and laughs at your character's death....

When you get a book and it's the one you need.

Also, since 0.14 is basically evil. Maybe 0.15 can bring some cool new things(iron troll armour, no more bad potions, etc.) Little nice things to balance it out.

Also if you just want a timeless game, no god vs. chei might be up for consideration?

Kind of cliche but Necromancer has been the only CheiMummy I've gotten anywhere with. ._.
Would help if it's apts weren't completely junk.

Pretty slow start, this combo. I was literally running from a gnoll for ten minutes on D:1 gaining my 2 MP back and failing to have him reach the light. Despite training invo only from the start. Feels like I'm scraping axes together and having them try to 'see the light' from the sparks.

And the lair branches with all the new monsters are way tougher.
Game gets 10x more evil each release.

It's just intense to put two staircases inside a circle of doom where a very weak character can enter.(D:13-14 isn't very far.)

You enter the 2nd bad staircase, you're getting hit from all sides & dragging people back, even slower if you teleport instead.

Not complaining, just intense!
