In progress code on Git - Picking up where I left off with my Skuggi code Spectre Rumored to be the result of a necromantic ritual gone horribly awry, these creatures exist with magical energies entwined in every fiber of their bodies. Spectres cast spells using their life force, are immune to rott...

Steam elementals, the oft overlooked minority, still fighting for elemental equality.

Probably wants +Int instead of dex if it requires a magic school on plate. I originally was going to slap Wiz on it instead of Dex+, but decided that would almost be designing an armour specifically for xxEE, I kinda feel like Int+ would be doing the same? Maybe I'm wrong here, but someone on this ...

The scumming is going to be a problem for any such item. Wyrmbane gets around it by only giving you rare opportunities to level up, and increasing the benchmark each time--and by being an unrand. And since there's not much point to another "just like Wyrmbane except with demons" or whatev...

Ibn Hayyan, god of Alchemy When not completely inebriated on some weird concoction, Ibn Hayyan is a devious and mischievous god, who is also a huge hit at parties...

As for Qazlal's new ability, I think I have said plenty about what I take the problem to be, and why I take it to be a problem. It's okay with me if you value the importance of ruling out that sort of behavior differently, and so aren't convinced by what I said. Just be not convinced. I'm bumping t...

This god seems specifically designed with speedrunners in mind...

So instead of teleport, the traps cause Petrify on the enemy? Fits the earth theme too :p

While we're at it, can we make "t" commands also not take a turn/auts? Clearly you can gesture or speak while you move or attack.... do you want to be encouraged to change your allies' orders, potentially, every single turn? putting turn costs on actions, even seemingly harmless ones, is ...

So combine that with jewelery taking a couple turns to swap out (Hold your sword between your knees while you pull your ring off, fish the other one out of your pocket, put it on, and grab your sword again.)

I still have not figured out how to use ?fog :/ I read ?fog when there's something dangerous with a ranged attack several steps away and I don't want to be hit by that ranged attack. Most often I then run away and/or read ?tele. This, particularly if they can smite you. I also use ?fog when I'm bei...

Swapping equipment isn't all that interesting, and so it's good to avoid incentivizing the player to do it a lot. Fast-swapping equipment is particularly bad because in many situations it means you're effectively wearing all of the swappable stuff at the same time, but at the cost of burning realti...

Between the legs somewhere, same as before.

So you make one pointedly worse in order to differentiate between the two? Sorry if I don't accept that as a valid answer. That's ham-fisted and piss-poor design philosophy, and I believe the devs working on the game are a lot smarter than that. If its "Optimal play with amulet swapping is tedi...

well i think you're not going to understand why the devs want to punish people for reacting to situations thrown at them by a randomly generated dungeon for a very long time then Well if they're going to give the same sort of condescending smart-ass non-answers as you did, then yes, you're right.

What about "Hellfire"?

I liked Hellfire, and it made sense to me that you can't resist hellfire...because its literally fire from hell; aka fire that cannot be quenched.

Other ideas:
Zotblast
Wave of Ruination
Orb of Malice
Orb of Spite
Devilfoo

Why is amulet swapping bad again?

This would get rid of the somewhat meaningful interaction with Hungry Ghosts. If you're in a fight with a Hungry Ghost and another monster, your choices are: 1. Eat fruit for a little satiation at the cost of 1 turn, which could end up as a net gain of zero if the ghost hits you again 2. Eat a ratio...

I've thought about that too. Having the conduct actually be "God of [weapon skill]", where all the abilities only apply if you're wielding your weapon of choice... but that did seem tedious and not really all that fun. I really would like to see unarmed branding in the game, this is just a...

Instead of just granting abilities, Eel'Nodnarb instills information and training, to both body and mind.

Don't mind duvessa, she's always inordinately angry to any given situation

Personally, I think monks should start with gloves or boots (or both)

Or maybe have unarmed not create more heads, as UC doesn't crosstrain with anything?

That sounds right. I play Ds almost exclusively, and I can't remember getting a T3 mut earlier than level ....12? But most of the time it isn't until around 15 or so.

I refer to it as the "pot of cure poison"

I've come across a couple randarts as a xxAK from looting, and have always been able to invoc out of there when I see trouble in LoS, so I personally think its pretty darn safe as long as you don't get cocky.

As someone who plays Ds almost exclusively, I'm more than okay with the change from Evo --> Invo

I'm very sad to see random deck spawning go, but not as sad as I am to see Alchemist & Potion card go. I can't count the number of times those 2 cards saved my bacon.

I can see your hostility oozing through the screen... relax dude, I'm not murdering your first born, I'm just making a suggestion.

Your join date makes this thread seem fishy.

But if you did code this up, I'd totally play it.

I don't play ogres, so honestly, I can't answer that one. As for Fo, I pick them for their Dig & Shaft ability more than anything else. I feel like if they couldn't use a 2HW and shield, someone would have picked on me for that too ;p ("They're HUGE and they can't wield a 2HW in one hand? T...

Rats should be able to merge into rat swarms, like slime creatures only more statistically linear. They're the size of rats; they should not be restricted to one per tile.

There's no need to keep player ghosts a thing for people who don't mind them. For every removed feature, there lots of players who "don't mind it", or even want it. This doesn't make the feature any less deserving of removal. While I understand your viewpoint, I prefer to suggest alternat...

What if there were a timed portal to "the Graveyard" or "the Morgue" that could spawn. Inside this portal there would be the 10-20 most recent ghosts, all in their own rooms with runed doors. Like a gauntlet of ghosts. (Could also call it "the Gauntlet") This keeps play...

TRJ, acids, oozes, and jellies should all be immune to constriction.
That's like trying to squeeze a greased pig....that's also trying to murder you horribly.
So maybe more like trying to squeeze a greased wild boar.

Either way I support this change
