Search • The Tavern

The point of the monk is that you're trading your starting gear for the piety. Since you have no starting gear, you have no weapon, thus unarmed skill. Piety is a somewhat limited resource, perhaps analogous to a Gladiator's nets (and weapon/armor/helm) or a Fighter's might potion (and weapon/armou...

mo doesn't have armor or nets and has lower fighting and weapon skills...

so i feel a little shy making another suggestion here after such a nice change was already made, but how about quarterstaves among options for monk starter? just seems like they should have one...

remove dungeon entrance, your character can't get in, goes to a tavern to play magic the gathering, and dies of acne

ghosts are pretty bad, they could be replaced with a 1 floor shaft trap and have a pretty similar effect on my game

i really suck so i died to adder poison about 30 turns later but hopefully this advice will still apply in 800 games or so from now when this constellation of events again occurs. ty tavern

Just started a demonspawn monk and worshipped at a d:3 unknown altar... Got Jiyva. Now I'm on d:3 with *** Jiyva piety. So, seems like it will be a weird game and i don't wanna screw it up. How can I best take advantage of this situation?

I can see the advantage of having this listed: Has anyone else ever searched half the dungeon trying to find an object that they are already carrying? :oops: My suggestion is ... the output since the fix gives: (carried) a club (carried) a club a - [D:2] a club b - [D:1] a club as suggested in OP. ...

River rats work well in sewers, but have nothing special in the Lair, and I also find them kinda boring. Maybe they could inflict sickness? There could also be some "wailing rat" or somesuch that can hasten the others, and call in bigger, badder foes while the PC is swamped by little rats...

thank you wheals !

Sorry but, why do you need muscle memory for searching? i used to do 'ctrl+f' 'search entry' 'a' from muscle memory whenever i missed an item while autoexploring and i know the closest result for ctrl+f will be the thing i want. i found the change very annoying, and prior to the change i never once...

dunno, today i got spider end with at least 3 ghost moths, just said "fuck it i hate this" and tabbed myself to death. definitely doable with a lot of summons and consumables, but sometimes when crawl wants to kill you, you just say, ok, crawl

yeah, i like that one too.

cool!

fine but at least i wouldn't have to read their terrible names!

i don't mind ghosts in terms of gameplay but i really would like to stop seeing offensive ghost names. i don't care whose ghost i am fighting, and the effect of player-named ghosts in online games is just to allow players to look up the logfile for the ghost in question anyway, which doesn't seem id...

UC Monks is how Monks work in DnD IIRC (well, they also can use some "exotic" weapons), so I'd expect most new players to understand the background as it used to be pretty well. i know, but that's why i suggested a possible name-change to "devout" ( or "faithful", &quo...

The two defining features of the Monk background have nothing to do with each other... Unarmed, and Piety boost. Rename Monk to "Devout" or something, and give them a weapon choice (including unarmed) like every other melee background. That's all. :geek:

oh , right ... boris & natasha....... right

P.S. I wonder what "No amulet of clarity??!!!!" has to do with the rest of the thread, since clarity was not removed for this character: I wielded the Autumn Katana AFTER I got confused---firmly closing the gate, fully AFTER the horse was out. . . . Have good lives, Muchachos! I'm off lik...

u can use your rc to set blood to q or anything else, but i suggested a while ago that blood should just be a food item, not a potion, and be consumed with 'e'. i don't think it's a priority item right now, tho perhaps it would be worth trying to submit a patch... butchering itself is annoying for a...

i have been wanting this feature for quite a while, thanks for this one devs

ijyb is a nasty petty ltitle shitboy goblin but now he's a nasty petty little shitgirl goblin. you dont have to be a boy to be a nasty petty little shitgoblin. this is what progress looks like. this is crawling into the future

Since you're apparently responding to my quip about self-evidence: my point was not that I believe this change to be "arbitrary" or that I can't figure out why someone would make it. Nothing I said suggested either thing (because, frankly, I have no desire to discuss politics here), and I...

this is what its all about and when my kids are all grown up and off to college im looking forward to sitting down and playing crawl, where i can slaughter 9 female uniques for every 11 male uniques

The final gender distribution is closer to 55/45.

thats great thanks for all your hard work gentlemean

its real dumb

o really?

i mean i guess tbh they are so similar that i cant really tell the difference anyway

While there exists plenty exceptions in the animal kingdom, it doesn't really make sense for a humanoid female to be superior in physical prowess to their male counterparts(particularly in the context of crawl, in which it seems nearly all enemies are trained for battle). Perhaps magical prowess or...

I actually really like that player characters are androgynous.

well offline tiles paperdoll editor has male and female tiles for most species, in webtiles all the characters use the male tile

appropriative

are you sure this is a real word

well that's a great idea friend but let me respond with a few very serious thoughts and criticisms, please be sure to honor them with due consideration

when i have a weak character with access to speed, i just kite the minotaur and steal the loot. if the labyrinth were much more linear this would be impossible or much more difficult to do.

veh gifts single-use pamphlets. done. pamphlet of fireball. tract of tempests. screed of summoning.

Why? It's extremely fast to find a specific vault using grep if it has a runed door. It sounds like you choose to take a lot of unnecessary risks when playing, and assume that everybody else takes the same unnecessary risks. in other games, it's fast and easy to search memory values with cheat engi...

usually when duvessa mentions one of these sort of unusual and tedious but smart things an optimal player should do, i think "that's a good idea, i'll try that" even though i know i won't have the patience to do it all that often... but this one is beyond the pale! i can't imagine ever, ev...

I feel like realism is a pretty weird thing to get hung up on when it comes to felids.

ok but it's also just a little gross

just so long as we can hang on to 'distressingly furry'

they do? see, that's just my point though, i can't even remember. i think it is important, but i do mostly play stealthy characters. i don't think the xv screen is very cluttered, and annotating the noisy monsters rather than the silent ones would emphasize to new players the role played by noise in...

When determining how to deal with a monster, it can be helpful to know whether the monster might make noise to wake/attract other monsters. So I suggest adding this info to xv: "It may shout/hiss/gurgle/trumpet/bellow/screech/roar/??? upon noticing you." As it is now, new players pretty mu...

then you can't batform and can't heal on bite/stab. if you don't need to fly away and can't stab you might as well get regen i guess.

they continue to be way better than mummies i guess

i think vp are ok the way they are but since currently the best way to play them afaict is to stay near bloodless almost always, the easiest change would be make vp exist as species that is identical to current near bloodless vp (resistances, base stealth, and slow regen), plus torment resistance (s...

you would just stay at very thirsty/near bloodless all the time in that case, unless your vp is a powerhouse that can benefit from regen and doesn't need batform, in which case you would stay alive all the time also none of this would make sense unless food were eliminated from crawl, because if vp ...

hmm, make vp worse, to be more like mummy, or better, to be more like spriggan? what a conundrum
