No, you were thinking of triple maces

They're being replaced by double maces

Sure, didn't mean to imply that. It was more of a rhetorical question.

I don't think anyone would defend the design of com effects that kill you from full health. However it would be very difficult to fix this without removing Xoms ability to affect you with damaging miscasts entirely. The game already prevents this except when Xom is bored or you're under penance. (O...

A possibly easy fix would be to allow for miscast xom effects only when the char's level is greater than, say, XL 5?

I like the constant danger, as long as I can react to it. In this case the game just stopped and I could have done absolutely nothing to avoid it.

Xom's attention turns to you for a moment. Rocks fall onto you out of nowhere! Ouch! That really hurt! You die... Xom is highly amused! I was at full health. The next moment, dead. Now I get how xom is quirky and all that. This on the other hand is a bit too much, wouldn't you guys agree? Particular...

You're not done yet! There's a portal to the depths there, you should keep going until you reach zot. And no side branches, ofc.

Yes, exactly this!

Transporter vaults are the most fun new feature of 0.20 in my opinion, so good job. Maybe there aren't very caster-friendly with their confined space and no way to regen MP, but I don't think it's a problem. The only actual problem I see is that these vaults lose their fun factor if you do come 10 ...

Interesting. I have the opposite view about such vaults - I love them. It's an unknown challenge, and if I'm feeling brave I'll go in and die happy. It will make for a much more interesting game than if I was just playing in that careful, boring and predictable manner we all have grown accustomed to...

Could you elaborate?

PoG is fueled by magic, which is quickly replenished with the VS's magic bite.

Or he paralyzes you before the tp kicks in, and you land within a group of dangerous monsters.

Sublimation of Blood: can't also be cast while in statue and lich forms. Maybe other forms too, like tree (wisp and fungus form can't cast anyway so they don't count)?

Seriously, would you take a spriggan cloak-and-dagger character into the new Tomb? Probably only in a game where you'd fully expect to die. Sure I've done it several times before ( < 0.20) and I could do it again in 0.20; the new tomb's layout isn't problematic in this particular case - lack of tel...

This week, we will have a background challenge once again. Furthermore, due to the tourney, this challenge will also be kept open for at least two weeks, i.e. until the end of the tourney. Btw, you should probably extend its duration for an extra week, since everyone else's too busy playing the tou...

Probably true. So this character really shouldn't go there, like many others.

Sorry, I don't think that's a fair approach. Some of us do enjoy playing stealthy chars even through the extended game.

I believe this is a T3 win http://crawl.xtahua.com/crawl/morgue/pedritolo/morgue-pedritolo-20170607-153846.txt Not much to say about it. Gargoyles are pretty strong, regardless of hp's. I'm usually happy when my ac is greater than 35, and this guy had 65 even with deformed body. Even though I learne...

IMO, silence, when used properly, is very strong.
It's also great that it has a dangerous downside, balancing the risk/reward thing rather well. It's the kind of stuff that makes the game interesting.

Same goes for this win:

There's the wandering mushrooms, which are available very soon after joining fedhas, where you are at your most vulnerable. At this stage they are really strong. They are relatively cheap, don't expire, and since they don't move while fighting, you can plan your strategies a lot better than with reg...

stickyfingers wrote:added challenge to keep my skills below 8.

Nicely done!

Grats on your streak, very impressive! I've got to say, Fedhas -> Jyiva is an awful idea. You're getting a dangerous god's wrath, setting you up for all sorts of unforeseen deaths. Besides fedhas is a lot stronger than jyiva for a 3 runer, particularly on a stabber. Try fedhas offline and learn its ...

ddubois wrote:I'm probably not going to skill stealth and short blades at this point, given the comment above saying I'm already stretched too thin?

Sure, maybe not at this point.

What's that benu thing about?

With that cloak, you should be able to stab most things with a small investment in stealth and sb. You won the game when you found that cloak. Evoke invis, stab stab, wait out the magical contamination, repeat.

I thought the MuMO conduct also forbade jewelry and spellcasting (at least it says so on that image)

I would love to watch people who tell it's not dangerous, actually do Zot:5 with teleportitis. So many things can go wrong if you land in one of the lungs (and may I say that is very likely case when your +Tele kicks in). Especially now that teleports are delayed and PoG-spell doesn't work there an...

Hi, here's a proper Tier3 win

Hi, I think this is a Tier 3 http://crawl.xtahua.com/crawl/morgue/pedritolo/morgue-pedritolo-20170518-175941.txt Eeh, so here's the thing... that's a Troll Necromancer. The challenge combo, however, is a Troll Earth Elementalist. Someone else has also expressed confusion about whether they have to ...

It's the worst; the only vaguely safe strategy at that point imo would be to worship a god with a very good get-out-of-jail card, like lugonu. Or be strong enough to survive several failed tp scrolls, untill you land in a safe area, each taking lots of turns to trigger. Or eat mutagenic flesh until ...

19.5: If you follow Jivvy, then all Jivvy creatures will eat stuff, so in this case you can also have an eye of something eating a door or a war axe. And, only if you follow Jivvy, hostile shapeshifters in any Jivvy-creature form will eat doors and items too. This is the only chance of hostile mons...

I played an SpCK with a chaos axe and I got the impression that when monsters were hasted AND zerkd, they moved a lot faster than if they had only one of the two effects. Now, these two effects don't stack for the player, so is this working as intended? Or am I mistaken and they are not moving twice...

Frankly, I think threat assessment is the true problem here.

Oh I'm perfectly fine if it stays that way. I agree, it's quite unique. I hate it, but I'm sure others will like it.

If we're going to get mobs blinking around randomly, then let's take it up a notch: perhaps we could remove the tele and banish from disto brand, and instead have blink proc more often. It would mean you'd rarely be surrounded, which would be god/bad depending on what sort of stuff you were fighting...

I remember having it once on a quickblade. I eventually finished the game with it but swore I'd never use disto again, it was so fucking unbearably annoying.

So my hep ancestor was between me and the ood, so I switched him with the spider. Laffs

I like your ideas, it seems you've put some time into it to make a cohesive theme. Thanks for sharing. But. It's way overpowered. Like through the roof. IMO, just having "Double AC from natural scales mutation" would be already a decent choice, power-wise, for draconians. They wouldn't nee...

Elyvilon sorely needs an update, the page is from 0.16

To encourage adaptation in current Crawl you really need something like: they have high apts, but as they gain skill points, they forget the old ones at a rate of 50% or so. As in, every 2 skill points gained causes the oldest skill point to go away, whichever skill it was in - so if you train This...
