When you try to retreat from adjacent monster, you are attacked immediately, after that you keep distance between you and monster. I believe there is little to communicate here. Fast species still can run away easily, they just no longer have an absolutely safe, boring and time-consuming way of kill...

It's much harder to overcome HP regen when it takes 20 auts to move first tile. Even for Spriggan it takes 5 turns to move 6 tiles: 2.0 + 0.6 * 5 = 5.0. Combine it with pillar-dancing nerf suggested in other thread for max effectiveness (it's impossible to move for too long in one direction and chan...

I am not suggesting to do exactly like is done in that branch. Personally I don't like some changes there too (0.9 move and monsters being unable to use stairs among other things) but that branch proved that crawl is playable (and more fun to me) without kiting. All I wanted to suggest is in the OP

I hope I don't need to list reasons why pillar-dancing is bad. http://crawl.homedns.org/crawl#lobby nerfed it by changing movement cost depending on direction. So you can still run away if running in straight direction. But if you try to run in circles you get a severe movement penalty (up to 20 aut...

I hope I don't need to list reasons why kiting is bad. http://crawl.homedns.org/crawl#lobby nerfed it by making first movement after non-movement action always cost at least 20 auts (even as hasted Spriggan), so you can no longer kite. It resulted in more enjoyable/fun game, I even played Sp again. ...

I hope I don't need to list reasons why stairdancing is bad. http://crawl.homedns.org/crawl#lobby nerfed it by making player stop ascending/descending if player got any damage while doing so . It is still playable, even hard combo like pure melee HO of Qazlal with 33% HP penalty, no ranged attacks S...

Problem #1: Gourmand is useful only for casters/berserkers Problem #2: Death Cob kills unspoiled players Proposed solution: Gourmand amulet should make it impossible to die due to starvation, instead you get Slow status as long as your satiation points are 0 or less (it should work for Formicids too...

Suggestion: display "It can be entangled in net" for monsters which are valid targets of net. Reasoning: It was interesting to see that many experienced players (including me) didn't know that Lom Lobon can be entangled in a net. Some monsters are immune to nets, others are not. It depends...

Correct answer is under spoiler. +3 slaying deals 10% less damage than Str+10, Dex-4 31.2 vs 34.6. I was really surprised, I didn't expect Str being that important when it is already very high (Str 34 vs Str 44). I will definitely put more points into Str in games where my goal is 15 run...

FoFi, Fighting 25, PDA, Armour 27, Axes 23.6, +2 battleaxe of flaming, Str 34, Dex 24.
What is better and by how much: a +3 ring of slaying or a ring with Str+10, Dex-4 vs Ice Fiend.
Guess the answer.

Paralysis is too random/cruel, I suggest to add a new "Almost paralyzed" status, which makes character unable to move/teleport/blink, all actions are slow and EV is reduced to 0. Ancient Lich and uniques can keep the old paralysis but having paralysis in Orc Sorcerers' book is ridiculous. ...

Lasty,
Does it mean there is no other response from devs in regards to sequel vs in-game description problem?

I hope it is allowed that I use this account instead of Sandman25 to ask the question.

Unique does not mean good. It also doesn't mean it can't be improved. The ideas in this thread are unfinished and unfocused though. What ideas? I like the concept of Felids, but in practice they are a terrible race. What concept of Felids do you like provided you are trying to change speed, HP, ext...

Come on, are you seriously going to "fix" Felids? It is a unique race, you are going to make it "yet another human" with minor difference. Yes, lack of armour is minor difference especially true for characters in statue form which is a very good spell for Fe. If you don't like so...
