Most powerful, certainly not (Cerebov can kill him before they even meet in melee) but probably the most dangerous of his part of the game, the early end-game, where you have a few runes but aren't ready for Zot).

Orc warrior on D:2 seemed pretty harsh to me, I kited him with my CeHu for lots of XP though. if you like kiting for XP, try playing a AK with spear, and kiting large abominations (the slow ones). it is specially nice with Draconians, that can get a color before even entering the dungeon. who am I ...

Bataille means that you can deselect skills manually on automatic mode as well.

I guess you're right, if there's some good that can come from a proposal we should look at it. Part of the problem is that it still seems to be rather weak in the beginning (ring mail and buckler are a fairly serious penalty on d:1) while not making a very large difference later. The main problem is...

This hypothetical version of Tukima could still be used in all the ways Tukima is used now, just in addition you could cast it at dudes. At first I had read it the same way, as being made so it only targets enemies, but I'm pretty sure what he means is that after casting you can target yourself for...

This background seems to start out as the worst of both worlds, except for that ring. By D:5, it turns into a conjurer with a little more Vehumet piety. I dislike the idea of zealots existing at all, with the possible exception of ones which radically change d:1-3 (healers, maybe) or which give gods...

1. add this to your rc: menu_colours += lightgrey:unidentified.*(potion|scroll|wand|jewellery) 2. I don't know, not sure what way you want it to look like the XP console (which i think looks really ugly) 3. Preferences->Window->Color-> Check "Bolded text is a different colour" 4. No? I don...

Obviously Necromutation would be necessary as a combo, since otherwise you would have to be very wary of the food cost resulting from bringing all the things to the shops.

I've had one unfair drowning death (my flight expired at the same time as deep water rushed under me in Shoals) but I think that's been fixed now. Other than that it's been pretty easy to avoid. I think it might be good for drowning to go the same way as instant stat-death though, simply because in...

I'd acquire armour, then use scrolls on the plate if there are no better branded plates in the game (and if acq doesn't give you something better). A lot of better players than I would acquire wand despite having gotten 1 of all 3 good wands, though. I assume that isn't the best antimagic gmace that...

Maybe "p"raying while berserk could sacrifice all corpses in LOS to extend the berserk, which would obviously come at an implicit food cost, and a LOS thing might help some of the problems with blood sacrifices. That said, food costs don't matter much and Trog is already extremely powerful...

I think it's suggested to Triple Draw once with the deck of wonders, after IDing it through Peek at Two. There's only a small chance a deck is 4 cards in size, so you can generally triple draw before stacking five without using it up. Of course, if you get three wild magics you're out of luck on a d...

I don't think you were greatly inconvenienced by this particular trove, considering that Geryon isn't hugely difficult and is usually worth killing anyway. I can see this resulting in a player wasting a bunch of enchant scrolls/money though. Either: - Mimics should be prevented from being troves - ...

Level 1 of deterioration mutation is pretty annoying, but getting robust 1 and high mp 1 from the same potion on a Ds with magic shield sounds so awesome that I would never even think about quaffing cure mutation. I think monstrous used to be detected on the first mutation of any you got from being ...

(In trunk,) Ziggurats no longer generate in D and one is guaranteed in Depths. So it's still possible to get to see one without going to Pan and without confusing people new to the game.

I don't really see how you can call draconians' skills "poor," what with having above-average apts in almost all skills. Also, as someone said earlier, if you're using a bardiche flaming/freezing might be a better brand than distortion especially versus ranged opponents; if you want to max...

Isn't shoals the best lair branch ending to use dig? The other three generally have stone, and in Shoals you can make an alternative entry to the huts instead of the deathtrap entryways.

What's a dragon (but seriously it should be changed to "fire dragon" to get to run in trunk.) How do you guarantee in wizmode that you get a specific bailey? I wanted to try to test this, and used the "place vault" command once in a bailey I generated, but it dumped me in a rando...

Yo momma so dumb she tries to close doors she's standing in.

It looks like you trained unarmed combat a lot, I assume that was a mistake and I'm sorry for your xp loss. I'm also sorry that Trog seems to have been so stingy with weapons -- it's almost hard to believe he hasn't given you any lajatangs at all, since even a +0 slicing one would be better than you...

You have to lure the lune away from the rock. Try feeding it something, or throwing a rock at it. Taking its children hostage should also work.

Am i missing the problem with Shoals on a DEFE? I mean, how is it any different from normal? Yes, conjure flame may be less useful, but it can still make steam clouds and such. Your ranged attacks mean that mesmeresis is less scary, and while waiting for the tide to go out may be tedious, it is not ...

You might want to fix the spacing. Also, the percentage for "overconfidence" should be a lot higher

Your dump says that there are two other exclusions. Have you explored those? Also, if you can cast fireball, you should not be worrying about Sigmund. Remember that it can't miss -- even if he turns invisible, you can still hit him!! If worse comes to worst and he confuses you and runs up to you, yo...

You probably hit the '`' button, which repeats your previous command, rather than the tab button.

Alternatively, has the effect of Int/Spellcasting in reducing spell hunger been nerfed? It definitely seems like I am getting to very hungry/near starving/starving when casting spells much quicker than I remember. OTOH, because of the removal of nausea, you've been getting less nutrition from brown...

Do you have this? force_more_message += LOW HITPOINT WARNING I do on trunk actually, but I forgot to add it to my rc file on 0.13. I'll see about putting it back in. In the future, I'll be careful around daevas, too; those guys were much worse than stone giants even without their smiting attack.

Never mind! I didn't realize that Daeva smiting can kill you, so he's dead now. It was a good run, anyway.

Hehe, I'm actually playing a pretty similar game right now - DsNe of Kiku, still don't know how to deal with mennas.

What's up with your not having a shield? Are there not even any bucklers anywhere? Given that you're in Forest, there should be some spriggans or something that dropped some.

Thanks for your advice, which I'll take into account for my _next_ character, this one being dead. GAH! :x After clearing the level I was on, I started exploring the downstairs. The first one led me close to a lot of monsters and I retreated. The second one led me close to _some_ monsters and a run...
