The one with rupert and norris is pretty brutal

Imo for the purpose of making faster weapons better against high ac dudes can be done by adding the previously discussed acid brand

sounds fun but why mesm

Do we want players to carry around and switch to more accurate weapons when faced with spriggans and killer bees? Do we want high accuracy weapons to have a different damage-over-time curve than low accuracy weapons, and if so, what would that achieve? isnt weapon swapping a thing anyways like carr...

Netting some ev heavy dudes like eresh can really make a difference
(well i know you have to hit it first but still)

so you guys know that branch entrances can be mimics right These mimics are already good, but to make this even better, we should be able to actually enter these mimics. Once you enter the mimic, you'll have to pass through the painfully long branch floors(hallucinations) just to grab the rune when ...

oh I thought this was CYC

Dr because you become a dragon

I think if shadow step thing worked for every alive creature almost every rune vaults would be a joke

Reptisaurus wrote:And did slings get nerfed in trunk? Is that what they're saying on the other board? Man, poor little guys have really taken a beating.

I think range combat in general got buffed while slings didn't really benefit a lot from the buff compared to others

seems like you'll be better off with Eos since you have a lot of slaying and you are wearing a shield. On the other hand, maybe that much slaying bonus is overkill and I should wear one of my other rings that provides resistances. I also have a +2/+4 morningstar of holy wrath; is the enchantment goo...

shadowform is good for ninjaing thoough

I recently read this and enjoyed it so I was looking for his other books. Seems like the small bookstores doesn't have his books.

You can just leave out one of the "lungs" of the orb chamber out and retreat by the way you came, no need to kill nearly everything in Zot:5. This strategy is safer (compared to teleroulette) if you have sufficient killing power, but not viable for some characters. This raises an interest...

I think Gozag's duplication should duplicate the whole stack instead of just one.
therefore, it will be a viable strategy to duplicate say, like couple of ?blinks or a whole stack of heal wounds pots. If its too strong, I guess we can restrict the number.

well as a veh worshipper you need less conjurations since veh already lowers your fail rate quite a lot which means that you can invest couple of extra spellcasting levels without losing too much spell availability

well yeah some races do get something extra because of their racial restrictions. However, I am not to sure how we can replace ** piety

do you mean that there was no such thing from the beginning?

velocity longbow

From what I know, there actually was a time when crosstraining for some high-apt species actually saved experience compared to straight on training the desired skill. However, it was changed since its just plain silly if its possible

Inner flame just needs to be castable on friendly skeletons and its all good
save my mad zombie bomber

I guess nobody wants to befriend a Human berserker who just ate three human friends for dinner

yes I don't know why but I forgot to talk about one thing that even the lightest body armors should give more ac per enchantment than auxslot armors

bout worms

Hello, so what I recently learned from crawl is that every enchant level on a piece of armor gives you 1 ac each therefore making a +1 cloak and a +1 crystal plate same in terms of extra ac. This game mechanic often makes players to drop their EA scrolls into any auxslot armor as soon as they ID the...

I think that the idea was that you can make chunks but cannot eat them

so, most modern roguelikes have random items and random monster generation. However one thing that these games lack in terms of randomness is the type of monsters. So in my imaginary game, each run will have different sets of monsters which then is given random properties and random skills(like panl...

trog reasons

so what happened to icy envelopes and that sort of mutations

Im not entirely sure about it but from what I know is that lair:8 never guaranteed good loot

no matter what armor youre gonna wear I think dodging investment is good for your char since you have like 1.5 dodging currently

Spoiler: show

the moment when you see them through the wall

It seems that zombies, skeletons and some other allies are changed to attack you back when you attack them or target them with spells like inner flame. Why did this change happen?

yeah I think oka gives you a hell lot of piety if you are like XL3 and kill a ogre

available in tiles

Spoiler: show

I guess removing such features will make crawl less of a crawl that I played a year ago, but im perfectly okay if those changes alongside with new features that are going to be added to the game makes the game more enjoyable and interesting.

thanks for ruining my bomb maniac kiku worshipping AM

for the bribe branch part i think paying for perma allies might be better where the amount of gold you pay depends on the HD of the monster

I think the Dark maul's item description says that its worse than a GSC

does this change mean that I can deal reasonable damage without excessive str but with skill training?

what abilities would sir octopode form give you?

If i remember correctly confusing touch can be used by uc dudes
wait.. its not like its deleted in trunk or something right

if you had enough defense I would say gsc but I dont think 18 ev+6 ac is enough

edit: I guess if you do not blind-engage and only fight 1v1s speed gsc may be better since you can kill dudes really really fast with it
