I'm surprised that works that way. Smite should require a clear sight of the target, not just guessing the square, as it is a targetted attack and not an area effect like fireball or hellfire. You are literally looking at some guy and invoking your god's wrath specifically against him. Would file a ...

Don't you die on me, baby.. Don't you die on me!

Go up the stairs and thru the east door.

Frankly I'm surprised to see the ring abilities getting so much positive comments, considering standard brand or craft armour threads get continuously shot down in the forums.

Having trouble with octopodes?

Unfortunately, flavour is just window dressing for the mechanics. Without mechanics (and the method by which they are intermeshed with the rest of the game), you've got pretty much nothing, except to put a mini branch into hells. That alone could have a thousand implementations, or a thousand reason...

Use his corpse.

Correct answer for all if these scenarios: it doesn't matter. There is more than enough xp and losing a small amount like this should have no bearing on your in game decisions. Not using an effective attack because you are worried about a piddling little amount of xp is likely to get you killed, cos...

STR also increases your damage with melee weapons it would seem by a fairly decent amount. At any rate, I was going to mention his abysmal EV score as well but figured there was more than enough there as it was. I mean, I didn't even mention his two wands which he could have used to dig a kill hole ...

It gives me AC, GDR (for what its worth) and +50% hit points.

I had gotten teleported into a bad place in an ice cave and had no immediate way of getting out. That should be players choice and not imposed because of something like that.

Did you have a haste potion? You can quaff a haste and just walk out of his silence, either turning to kill him or just keep going. Mennas is not nearly as dangerous as the wiki would have you believe.

"You can't turn into a tree while standing in a freezing cloud."

For what possible reason not? That a bug or something, I cant come up with a single good reason that standing in a cloud should keep you from changing forms.

The very first time I decided I knew enough about crawl to try to play a squishy caster, I was torn to shreds by a pack of jackals IN the starting vault. Fun times. Fun times.

Just imagine having to burn one of your 27 scrolls of teleportation there.

Your best weapon is a +0 flail and you are in Lair:5 You have a stack of unused ?EA and ?EW You have blink and tele up the wazzoo and could easily have left You have a stack of ?removecurse and are wearing a cursed ring of loudness You have a ring of protection you are not wearing You have a stack o...

e) use the toilet. The orb must be down there somewhere, we'd better have another look.

Huh, its kind of scary how you can remember reading specifically about something and then your memory ends up being WAY off. I stand significantly corrected, sorry about that..

e) use cheese

This is the best Christmas ever.

Yeah but it was a hogboglin and unlike their cousins they dont have ears.

That leads to the second drawback: the starting player advantage is huge, and there is no good way to deal with it What? You've been playing Go too long, man. Between equally ranked players (and especially as their mastery of the game advances), the advantage of white is considered to be very sligh...

C) Use Grinder's dream journal.

I refuse to partake in this scam of an election considering the obviously superior "Romanesco broccoli" has been lumped in with "other", despite its glorious fractal design and clear position as a leader of the popular vote. On an aside, I once worked at a Thai/Japanese restauran...

Minotaurs can get a solid EV score even in CPA. Pump dex, toss a few extra points into Int so that your character isnt completely Gumped, and you are solid.

Use the cloak.

Dont play cant win. Use the item, whatever it is.

Put your dump between code tags and post this kind of thread in YASD. That said, probably best to go for Pan runes first, though if you can get 3 ranks of rN crypts is certainly doable. A ring of sustain abilities (if its in your version?) is useful in crypts and hells. Crypts is a lot of stair-danc...

Carthage was removed back in 0.6, we are now dealing with Hubris...

Fire breath on Grinder because I hate that little f*er

What the hell is supercharging?

I came here thinking you were advocating the addition of dedicated item slots for the different flavors of pizza. Boy am I disappointed.

38 bottles of Thunderdog wine? This kills the thread..

Yeah I don't know.. abyss is just awful and Pan is too long, but Hell I never really thought was too much. You dive and dive (and the dive mechanic is really good here what with upstairs all putting you back out), and if you end up exploring too much of the map before finding a downstair, thats what...

I meant q), forgot to get them drunk first...

Now we got them. J

If ever there was a moment to use hot faeries, it is now. J

Because it HARMS the enemies too, which you already significantly out-advantage (or how do you kill thousands of them in the course of the game without dying even once), and a good player will use the press the amulets advantages as much as possible, while enemy AI will consistently fail to do so. 2...

Is it really that good? I mean, most player characters already can do a ton of damage - Crawl combat is still swingy as hell and you can miss or do no damage with a mindelayed GSC. I'd be wary of using this item - but I'm not a good player, I guess. If crawl combat wear strictly linear and you were...

The point is that any value, so long as it is not so high as to put you in likely near-death scenarios from single shots, is going to be a significant advantage to a good player. The amulet doesn't introduce any interesting choices, it simply shaves off some of your effective hp for the overwhelming...

Why not just call it the amulet of min-maxing and be done with it? Other than in wide open areas with many enemies (which most of Crawl is not, given proper positioning), wearing this amulet should be a no-brainer. Increase my damage at the cost of increasing damage done to me? YES PLEASE. My over-a...

Pants are so suboptimal in this kind of situation, man we are gonna die...

EDIT: I stand corrected. I) use more pants

Yes so he can kill stuff with his evasion. Brilliant advice... I think I would rather go for greater spell power + greater spell success and even reduced hunger for what its worth.

OH G! G!

a+b = c. Open east door, then run over and go thru west door.

All monsters should either be grues (melee) or gazebos (magic). And you shouldn't have the dungeon. You just fight one after the other. This is good for flavor because wouldn't grues and gazebos like a completely flat and linear game? Of course they would. Not saying that monsters lists shouldnt be ...

Duvessa just won the game. And now there is no reason to play real crawl. And all other threads are pointless.

Oh you know we are all about shimmering helmets.

d) Whip it out and wear the helmet.

Perhaps if instead of abjuring just the target on hit, what if it abjures everything in LOS when it hits anything? Think a one-turn-duration aura of abjuraton effect. Give it an (evocations & summonings) chance to trigger, reducing all summons' duration by some (evocations & summonings) amo...

Im curious how or even if that happens, to be honest. Anytime my game (or computer) crashes, the game always starts right over exactly where I left off. I always assumed that the state files were updated on every turn (makes sense, you calculate the state might as well write it to memory there consi...

I push 5 and wait for my HP and MP to regen before I do anything else.

We're gonna have to go with option d here. Whip it out.
