In SA forum people complain about the cacophony of the name. Let's see if more feedback is giving a better chance or wait until people mispelled it in a fancy way.

My point is if Trog gets angry if I train some magic skill or not. After all, Trog dislikes the learning of magic by reading. Some degree of magic skill -elementary magic- works in conjunction with evocations for some items if I'm not wrong, am I? In case Trog gets angry, the manual should burn unde...

First time that I stumbled on a manual of magic with a Trogite and I couldn't set it on fire. Is this the expected behaviour? Does "burning spellbooks" not apply by extension to manuals for magic training? Should do it?

I'm pretty sure you don't want to get stabbed with a claymore. Besides, stabbing makes no sense already, it's just as easy to kill someone unaware or otherwise defenseless with most large weapons as with a dagger. Probably easier. Cf executioners. In a hellhole where everyone hates you anyway there...

Stabbing with a claymore?

Long blades have edges so that they slash or cut rather than stab

Hello! I leaved the forum activity and crawl gaming for more than a year. I have seen there are new races, new layouts, new spells and monsters... and the very same ideas about weapons that were discussed when I leave. It's surprising how recurrent the topic is.

I like the challenge to meet a singular unique which has the maximum power a god can offer and able to lead an army of acolytes, at some deep level of the dungeon, just to add variety among the stone giants, yaktaurs and such. Maybe it's your competitor to enter the first in Zot, and only one must p...

Besides, you occasionally spawn a jelly when getting enough damage, and it is just fine.

That kind of race against lava appears in a level of Doom RL, FYI For a portal could be themed as "grab loot and run away", maybe adding extra threats like sudden crevasses or boulders falling from the ceiling and blocking some paths; a wand of digging could be granted to make wise use of ...

I still miss a tengu unique

Fixed, I didn't remember the code tag, sorry. I've been unlucky and oblivious with armour findings, just an early dungeon mottled dragon armour that I left in Temple, hoping that jellies hasn't consumed it yet. I have not found many enchant armour scrolls and healing potions, either. Not a single re...

My very first character that has got 3 runes and has reached the bottom of the dungeon. yay! ^^ I roll a MiFi that found an early Jiyva altar so why not? and from there on, the Lair was a breeze, so it was Orc -except an abyss banishment- and Shoals and Spider (where I had to sneak because of Mennas...

Force lance works wonderfully against adders, ogres even komodos, so it makes your life easier to reach Lair and Orc. I don't ask more to a 2nd level spell.

What are kolbolds? I wanna say they're of the goblin variety, but idk. You should totally write more. Maybe we can start a trend 8-) Subterranean demihumans so to speak, originally mine goblins. In D&D they were designed as a reptilian species, so in Nethack are (they lay eggs), while other sou...

Thanks, this make my game less boring than expected.

First time I get this message from Chei, I though it was continuously increasing my attributes and slowing me but I haven't hasted myself and I got this message x2

I just have used temporal distortion before getting this. Is this decrease normal ?

Is there some kind of spell classification in terms of type of the effect, damage (if any), range, area, and so on ? If so, some underused niches could be filled with acid/alchemy-like spells instead of making them single-dimensional.

I was thinking on a bar indicating the noise the latest action did, just like the equalizer bars, but just for all the frequency band.

I think about "lurker type" as a class of monsters which lurk, just as they are magic monsters, ranged monsters, flying monsters, poisonous monsters ... I was thinking specially on crocs and alligators, which currently are redundant with respect to any other lizard-like monster and this fe...

Hello,after a few months silent I return glad to see new progress. The game is evolving to get rid of the features which required detection such as secret doors and currently people complain about some traps. I think the skill could be renamed as perception to get a broader sense. In the proposal be...

I'm seeing djinns, the magical entities born from smokeless fire for the species you are trying to make.

Your backstory is good enough for a badass unique made of pure energy and magic, nonetheless.

Grinder may appear in D:6 and later on, make a special appearance in D:8 :shock:

Traditionally spriggans are spirits from Cornish lore related to winds, very changing in their size. They inhabit ruins and act as fairies body-guards.

I don't see them as veggies or specially linked to forests, although Crawl tries to depict them as wild fairies.

Keep calm and avoid sarcasm gentlemen... Let's try to save or figure out some ideas and nothing else. Thinking about a race with good apts in every element... how much good will be respect the current races/backgrounds which are impaired when learning some element ? Since practically all spells with...

I like this. Months ago I tried to propose a sleep/dream god based on stealth and control about sleeping or dormant beings, like some competitor of Yredelemnul, enforcing not killing the dormants but gaining more of them and converting the dungeon in a hexed silent place full of sleepers. It looked ...

The misspelling hurts my eyes so badly than I may take this as trolling ... Nonetheless I want to believe that is not, and from what I have grasped, just comment that you are mixing both a species and backgrounds all together to get a class. This is not how Crawl works. The archon concept is fine an...

I admit a Nethack influence for I came from there but also when figuring out the charge I tried to include some physics in the mechanics. If the attack is done progressively when moving towards -and therefore, being performed whenever you reach- then the mechanical work W = F*d*cos(a), is maximum in...

While the directional attack does mitigate the danger from a mace-wielding monster, it also makes the ability much less intuitive for the player to use. This kind of charge should be considered in a straight line either horizontal, vertical or diagonally... but I know that in Crawl the directionali...

The thematic could be anything linked somehow to hurry or no-resting conduct more than giving mere buffs a la Okawaru. Yours is probably a good solution to force this style of playing, and I probably would want to play it because usually I like to frenzy into the unknown without having rest complete...

EDIT: Even if the smash happens like the current proposal, it won't be that interesting for the player, since most monsters do not run away when they're injured (and a lot of the ones that do are faster than speed 10). It is a complement more than a replacement because I keep the vanilla flavour an...

This idea came up before for long swords. One problem with it is that any monster chasing you with a mace would hit you every turn -- imagine a fight with an Ogre with a GSC goes wrong: if you run from it, it gets a free, extra-deadly attack with each step! Ooops too many feedback and I missed it! ...

Now I'm confused :? Seems counter-intuitive. As I though -5 equals qualitatively to abysmal and -1 to something below "human" and something which has 0 should be easier to learn that something with a -1... For a human are the same difficult learning dodging 0 APT than spellcasting with -1 ...

Quick question because I haven't played enough the 0.12, if surrounded in a corridor, attacking towards a wall (Ctrl + up or down in the example) also attack both of your sides ? Seems effective and odd at the same time.

Aren't the werewolves high regenerating species? Maybe they should have a little lower HP (in comparison to other species) but regenerate really quickly. They should also be able to eat rotten meat.

My concern is that I thought that humans don't need to be the skill "average" race but the skill reference race. And by definition any reference is set as zero, but this does not mean that there is the same number of races with skills above and below humans. Humans could very well excel in...

I wanna reanimate a little the topic just to propose a -to me- finer effect to maces. Right now we agree that any desirable effect has to: - not be evokable, it is given by the nature of the weapon - still permit vanilla-style in some situations so as not to condition really much the common play-sty...

I think they're too unrealistic, but handy.

What about increasing the cleaving area effect after reaching some skill level ?

I'm all for differentiating the elves but seems like you're really "grasping at straws" here. I love high elves but I would rather they be removed than have to worry about this crap. Which "flavour of crap" :mrgreen: do you dislike ? The restriction of items or the split of dama...

Defiant idea is not *so* bad by its own. I was recently thinking on some mechanic to get resistances and extrapower from an injured state (from a god?, an amulet?, a species?). It puts you to live on the edge to get great benefits.

It's strange not to find anything secret in a dungeon... why not generating some secret extra-loot vaults where the door has a magic number and can only be detected having a larger skill in traps (like the auto-id for weapons) ? Every time will be a hit or a miss when passing besides them and we sol...

So there's no point to play a DS of Iy (is that this shorten nick name)? Bad apts with anything perma spider form has to offer, no demon mutations AND you're affected by Holy Wrath? I guess it'd only be worth it if you switch over to this god after you had a couple of DS mutations. AFAIK only physi...

In console most recent builds, has the reverse highlight on both player and targets been intentional ?

Versatile and quick learners is good enough to me

Since when humans have their apts changed ? Currently men is no measure of all things anymore

Particularly, the +1 in Stealth, Evo and Inv and the -1 in Spc. Oddly enough currently no race has a reference value of 0 in Spellcasting.

Only physical mutations are removed, the other ones remain. Spider Form replaces innate stealth bonuses, size, and speed at the price of -rP and no wielding or wearing. Cheibriados also affects your speed for much worse and nobody complained about ... well almost nobody. If cracked wall feature or a...
