FR add in old fire-vs-ice style antitraining for armor vs dodging and for fighting vs spellcasting to force everyone to play like new players.

Make shooting an orb cause them to become exhausted and slow so that the player can catch up to them.

I think this will display the message every turn at the bottom of the message box.

An ash worshiper who finds multiple nice rods can choose to uncurse their weapon slot.

Manually exploring would still have gotten the OP oneshot by that thrown rock. It's not one of those cases where "autoexplore walked me into the middle of a room with no cover and then I saw a centaur". He just died on the first turn that an enemy could see him, which has nothing to do wit...

Size factor is already used by other races, but that doesn't make it good. It's still obtuse and spoilery (especially on a race that isn't actually small), whereas "high dodging apt" is much more straightforward. If you're concerned about undead dragons being OP you could just make them lo...

If an ally helps, the remaining XP is shared between you and your ally according to the percentage of damage dealt by each on the dead enemy. Isn't this already how things work? The difference is the part where you still get 50% xp for seeing an ogre and then walking away. He was just clarifying ho...

The linked spreadsheet seems to indicate gold dragon hide being in only 5% of 3 rune games, if I'm reading it correctly.

Add shops of random uselessness that only contain items you can't use, like potions of blood or naga bardings.

And always give them a stack of 100 scrolls of random ueselessness at the top.

You shouldn't berserk to run to staircases because you want to be axing 8 enemies at once to maximize the chance that Trog will extend your berserk duration after a kill.

Eyesburn wrote:even with that added you can go around a corner and get an ogre adjancet to you

Yes but it would be no more dangerous than autoexplore.

Also it would be really tedious and annoying, don't actually do that unless your forums name is duvessa.

You can minimize Grinder's blink-cheese by luring her into a tight hallway (e.g. a short section with 90-degree cutoffs at both ends). I'm sure I've had lignification run out before I could kill her at least a couple of times, probably because there was too much space around. I once made the mistak...

It makes you immune to torment so if you're feeling cheesy you can quaff one right before reading a couple scrolls of torment on some poor sap.

Autoexplore is way more dangerous than autofight is. still manual explore can be more dangerous then autoexplore, because you can accidentally move towards an monster while autoexplore (as and into said) will stop you when you encouter an threat Use a lua script that rebinds all your movement keys ...

And let the player check the list of identified item types while the ?acq menu is open.

On Crypt:1? That's pretty brutal, I have not yet found one there (I think). The question is how Trog chooses what he hates. There once was a flag on monsters (fake spells/actual spells), but I think it has been discontinued. IIRC Trog still doesn't see orc priests as mages, maybe he also doesn't se...

Turn off the bit that makes you move toward enemies. Then you can use tab to attack without moving to a worse position or wasting a turn swinging at nothing against e.g. confused enemies.

Aliches are IIRC the highest-HD monster with an actual hex other than randlords, and their paralyse is 72 power. Unless other spells have much higher power, 172 MR (just barely above 4 pips) should be enough for immunity to everything. For some reason the knowledge bots don't show monsters' enchant ...

I suggest you checking twelwe's posting history. I don't think it's necessary. Both of his posts contain more than enough twelweisms that it is easy the figure out what is going on. Holy fuck, the title alone should be enough. to be honest from the title and the "japanese dragon" thing I ...

What would the cost of 'curse foo' be if it's not ?rc? Nothing? I feel that currently it's relatively cheap to swap items once you are past the early game. It would be an improvement to make the conduct stricter. Perhaps this would require some buffs to Ash's utility as compensation. I considered s...

On the other hand, revealing numbers seems relatively more important with something like MR because despite what the UI shows there's not just 5 discrete levels, and in any case they can already figure out the number by looking at a monster's chance to affect them with some hex. Or alternately just ...

I actually made this post because my battlesphere-toting FE was chipping away at a fire crab (with a fancy rF+++ randart so I didn't care about his breath) and I was getting really annoyed at having to repeat Z-a-move cursor to enemy-f every turn.

The spell targeter does not consider e.g. a red imp as a valid target for throw flame. which makes perfect sense since it would do 0 damage anyways. But if the player has a battlesphere active, they now have a good reason to target the imp with a spell it's immune to: doing so will make the battlesp...

"Quite resistant" is probably a poor choice for a description because "quite" means very different things in different dialects of English.

arandomperson12 wrote:Wiki has numbers, but I'm not sure how accurate.

The wiki's damage numbers are pretty good, although you have to remember that monsters with weapons add the weapon damage to their base damage. So e.g. an Ettin's two up-to-45 damage hits become up-to-67 damage hits when it wields GSCs.

Moving transmutations to a god would mean losing out on things like OpTm becoming a dragon decked out in 8 amazing Gozag randarts, or Chei monsters oneshotting everything with the huge strength scaling on dragonform.

So you can kill yourself at XL 1?

Only if you try to use a too-high-level martial art.

I recall from a long thread several months ago that Claws 3 is better then GSC for trolls at high skills, and way better at low skills. Given that claws are an early Ds mutation (you're likely to have Claws 3 by XL 15 or so), is there ever an "early enough to find out I have claws" to sim...

Sorry, i am a perfect player. I can come up with a fail-proof way of winning a game and execute it, therefore i need the rng. If you gonna give yourself the privilege of saying "a game should do this and that" without demonstrating HOW THE ****, then i have the privilege of considering my...

The moment you know beforehand that you gonna win a game you have no purpose playing it.

I think everyone can agree that strictly unavoidable deaths, even with perfect play, are bad, because they are a waste of time, and you learn nothing from them. Nope.

Ignoring the debate about whether or not they actually need a nerf, I'd like to suggest a general possibility for nerfing overly strong weapon brands: give them a malus to incoming XP. This XP penalty should be incurred when you hit with the weapon (a sort of virtual negative XP pool*, so you can't...

Usually demonspawn get one body-slot mutation and one scales mutation. Monstrous ones instead get 3 body-slot muts and no scales. But most players complain about the extra body slot mutations -- they feel that the equip slots are worth more than the minor extra damage from e.g. hooves. Claws are the...

Can you give me an example of a situation where you are taking damage that is going to kill you in a turn or two, but it makes sense to preserve your mana so you can fight? I agree that it isn't a bad thing if all you're using your mana for is damage. But it can potentially be bad if you have power...

I find that the situations in which good tactics actually matter are substantially reduced. but that's the best thing about them! f you wish to make the unrandart Leech more distinctive, let it have a higher vamp rate (mentioned in the description).

re: how monster intelligence affects Conjure Flame, here's the general idea as I understand it: Brainless enemies like derived undead (skeletons, zombies) will always walk into damaging clouds. Everything else will only do so if they're over an HP threshold, but they'll stay in the cloud (or walk t...

This is something that crawl is really terrible at communicating to players, but enchantment is actually much less important on a weapon than base damage. (This is because high strength and skills give you bonus damage based on the base damage of your weapon.) For a sufficiently skilled character, e...

Heh, I guess the lesson is if you want to do extended with a minotaur, and want to cast high level spells in heavy armor, it's probably a decent idea to put a few stat ups into int. 19 charms/15 spellcasting is doable for extended, but it's a LOT of xp you could be spending elsewhere. Meanwhile swa...

Isn't poison supposed to be the school with no high-level spells, which eventually falls off? It seems like adding those high-level necro spells would violate that.

But it denies people the important part of the game where you pick up a god while playing! Or, to put it another way, any reason to have BE is a reason to have Pr, or DK, and yet those things are removed, so by the exact same logic, BE should be removed. I think more backgrounds with various kits, ...
