Give them the option to start with a lajatang imo. Still fits the exotic weapon theme and gives them another option.
Maybe also have them start with boots/gloves/both?

Only if you abandon the god!
Fixed it to clarify

I took things a step further... InfiniteVox - god of Sound and Fury Once a mortal, Vox was gifted with a voice so pure it literally made the gods weep. As their tears rained down, Vox transcended mortality and ascended to the pantheon, and InfiniteVox the god of Sound and Fury was born. As the god ...

How much of an impact on XP and character level is this going to have?
With "S" branches shorter, and now Lair, later content gets that much more dangerous.
For the record, I'm not complaining, I'm legit curious

changing the gender of existing uniques is a far more obvious and easier solution than adding a bunch of new uniques solely because a few tavern users don't like the idea of women existing Come on now, there is no need to be hyperbolic here. It has absolutely nothing to do with "don't like the...

dpeg, that would be the best overall solution.

Laugh all you want, its being done for arbitrary reasons, which don't make sense. But being arbitrary, they don't have to make sense.

I personally like Pak, but can totally understand why others would not. If it's "change or remove" then I suggest: - Toss No mana Regen + Add Slow Mana Regen, to encourage evokable usage over spellcasting + Identify wands passive & apply to Rods (Same as OP) - Get rid of quick charge a...

DOWN WITH CHANGE!!!
SUPPORT THE ESTABLISHMENT!!!

I'm curious as to the why of this more than anything else.
Cerebov, Grinder, and Ijyb being changed don't make any sense.

I don't understand how some people think that removal is unnecessary for good design. Has anyone else seen someone's Magic deck where they only added cards, never taking any out? Aimless chaff is bad for the whole, even if you think that they're fun individually. Say that to my Battle of Wits deck'...

I'd love to watch these people play a version of crawl that never removed d:1 zot traps, amnesia traps, orc priests with distortion weapons, 0.6 randomized energy, or nausea I have, and occasionally still do for nostalgia purposes, or if I really feel like I need a challenge. Removing Decks is an e...

Lol, also no.

Well, the fire rains down from the sky.
So you dance around and try not to get hit, but when you do, your magic resistance allows you to shrug off some of the damage.
It makes perfect sense.

Would someone be willing to host an experimental branch that had:
1. No piety decay
2. No food clock
so we can see just how degenerate (I actually don't think this'll be an issue at all) gameplay gets?

@Sprucery, That is a possibility... but my habit when using stairs is to not move until I've seen the level, and I do not believe this was an exception. Otherwise, there were no monsters in my LoS before I descended the stairs. I don't know what was at the bottom because I was immediately teleported.

Ah, I didn't know that it was based on monster damage. That means GDR is still pretty valuable even as a lowish AC character. a lot of "non regular" attacks simply bypass it entirely Note that "a lot of non-regular attacks" here means "literally every single source of damag...

That part could be a bug, but paying attention to the message log is kind of important too... ;o

Yeah, I just played a Xom game earlier. Had 3 runes, 67 AC, 20 EV, 40 SH.
Then decided I *had* to do Elf. Got Abyssed (after already getting the abyssal rune the first time that happened), then died to a Lich's Crystal spear (42 damage) that Xom summoned.

Xom giveth and Xom taketh away.

Was your ally confused?

Duvessa, I'm convinced that if it were entirely up to you, Crawl would be a long hallway filled with jackals, gnolls with halberds, and vipers. Also the Orb of Zot would be a lie.
But I mean that in the best way possible.

It was going from D:2 to D:3 on a new game.
By the time I thought to check my message log, it was already too far gone to retrieve. Chardump didn't have it either, but I swear it happened.

Was this a recent addition? I never remember this happening before.
If so, for the love of makhleb, can you get rid of it?
If not, for the love of gozag, can you get rid of it?

The chance of unavoidable death greatly increases with these things, its crazy.

I fail to see how him throwing you is a ranged attack.
He has to be in melee range to use it. You are not being hit by anything thrown, you are the projectile.
IMO, this is a melee attack and should be subject to damage mitigation by armor & gdr

I, too, want rMut back in the game.... and I love mutation roulette....

Since when does Xom provide mutation protection?!

Making the "t" command not take any turns/auts would be a great start.
I never understood why that takes time, are the characters incapable of walking and talking at the same time?

Ignite blood works on your own blood too, so when you notice you're standing in a cloud of flame, back up to make your non-bleeding enemies roast, too. yeah, your right. but, player harder than enemy. check EV/SH/AC... finally, boom! You have never found the artifact "Firestarter" when pl...

As someone who has >90% of their games as Ds, You'll pay dearly for this!

Well if that was the design, it most certainly worked. That thing $*(@)*($ destroyed me.
I do think it's rather silly that the damage isn't mitigated by armor/gdr though. Why the exception?

And the GDR from the enchanted GDA I was wearing did nothing?

Is the damage from this skill reduced by armor? Is it capable of being blocked? I'm a little on the pissed off side right now. I had an EXTREMELY promising character (40AC, 20EV, 40SH - with 2 runes) that could easily tab through Juggernauts that got completely wrecked by 1 throw. Dead from right ar...

I'm assuming you're on like D:1 - D:3
In which case, Armor imo, you might like out and get a sweet randart cloak/boots/gloves

I support this mut just for the pure reason that I read the entire first post in a Russian accent, and yaktaur sounds awesome with a Russian accent.

Oh yeah?!

They're just misunderstood.

A hit to flavour to keep all the gameplay the same? Why? The distinction seems harmless. (Sometimes there are good reasons to prefer fewer item types, but I don't see that usual ones apply here. No players will deliberate about whether they should use a Naga or a Centaur barding, so the distinction...

Elitist: full clearing is fine. The problem with Gozag is that you're encouraged to linger around *after clearing* a level. And that's not healthy. There are various ways to address this; I mentioned one which I find thematic. Another would be to simply hand out no money for monsters spawned after ...
