It depends on spell power, so which is determined by Evo for rods.

Oh ok thanks!

I reckon I'm gonna come out as a bad person to you, but to me this is just another form of scumming... If you can't run away from potential death with any decent thinking and using your consumables, don't resort to cheap tricks and learn to accept defeat like a man. That's how you learn how to not g...

There are no Lair endings with simulacra. I've only done Swamp down to 5 ONCE and I got an ending with a vault filled mostly with freezing clouds, some freezing wraiths right inside the entrance, lots of simulacra (some of them hydras-holy s*it) and one ice dragon. Well, up to the point where I got...

This is an unrandart and it's been +4 +12 the two times i found it.

I'm 23 too but I know damn well what a cassette is, both the video kind and the audio ones. :lol:

Naturally.

Well, I've tried ToME 4 in my search for more roguelikes... It seems to borrow a lot from Dragon Age: Origins (warrior types get stamina, mages get mana, sustained abilities, the skill names are similar to DA:O and have similar effects). I would definitely not put it up to where DC:SS stands in my l...

About Tm, yes they have been nerfed in the sense that you don't have distil/evap in your starting spellbook, but I have to say I didn't really like the whole evaporate spam, I think it's more fit to an alchemist role. Now, I know alchemists and transmuters share common traits in fantasy, but they're...

To be honest, I'm all for 2-handers (most brands benefit them more), but I have to give it to shields for some things. First of all, wielding a 2-hander also removes the potential for more resistances/stat bonuses since you have 1 less equipment slot available. Of course you might be having that cra...

First, congrats on the win! Second, going around D:20 with a mummy's intrinsic rF- is asking for trouble. Margery is no joke in general. (Take the advice from the quote in your sig...) Yup, I know how fire resistance is really important for later parts of the game. :( I'll try and remember the tip ...

Very stylish and inspirational victory!

I'll try this character and see how it works!

I hate, HATE, the unique Nessos. He loves to show up at the worst possible times and one-shot me from across the map. o__o The only thing I hate more than Nessos is Rupert because he'll kill you no matter what by HOLDING DOWN TAB ON YOU AHAHAH) Yup, Nessos is a tough cookie If you can't run for cov...

Well, thanks for the info/spoiler people. But, as I stated above, I haven't ever attempted to clear swamp because it looks tiresome with all the water, on a melee character. I'll definitely try and tackle the branch next time if it seems forgiving (from the little I've seen on Swamp:1, there's too m...

I actually learned this yesterday, but NEVER EVER EVER ENGAGE THAT CHICK WITH THE COMPANY OF HELL KNIGHTS ON A MUMMY FIGHTER THAT'S BEEN GOING GREAT BUT STILL HAS AN x in FIRE RESISTANCE. NEVER! One hellfire/or whatever it was, got me from 135 health to 35. I put on a ring of fire resist but it was ...

The next time you find an altar of Okawaru in D:2 on your melee mummy which you've been desperately trying to get going, you'll die by a kobold wielding a whip of electrocution on the same floor, taking 20 dmg on the last hit. Happened to me this week. -_-

- When a monster steps on a zot trap - which you can see - the power of zot is invoked against your character - very unfair. That action, resulted in giving me six mutations... < sad face > - Silver bolts sear my skin (?!). I'm a troll. Traditionally trolls are hurt by fire and/or acid, as they can...

why did a lack of rElec prevent you from entering the Swamp? For one thing, I've never done it before and as far as I know there's electric eels in there, or not? Also, I think I lacked rPoison at the point I first discovered the place. I'm sure I did lair with no rPoison gear on. I'd just vamp hp ...

First of all, congrats man! I had my first win 2-3 days ago and it feels great. Congrats! That first win is the best. Now be prepared to be stuck pre-temple for the next week :P That's not quite true. :P I've been trying to get a melee mummy going and I made it to floor 20 just a while ago, dying to...

Wait wait... a sec. The bonuses on the Wyrmbane spear grow when you kill dragons/draconians? Anything else do that sort of thing besides the Sword of Power? Yeah, apparently, when you hit a draconian or dragon and get the killing blow with the "the dragon convulses" message, the spear get...

Shit or not, I won my first game ever with it equipped: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2832 8-)

Did I get this right, you were using a spear all game!? That in itself is a feat. Congratulations. :P (though that +6 slaying right has a lot to answer for) By the way, if you had killed The Royal Jelly all altars to Jiyva would have vanished. I know that's why i lured him out of the centre and got...

Hey, congratulations. Looks like old Oki was kind to you. How was Slime? I have never been there and didn't thought Slime was "available" for a three runer. Well. I went in there with a cloak of preservation that Okawaru gifted me, which helps very much with acid and corrosion. Also, slim...

Congratulations! I have to agree, +18 +18 sounds very agreeable. Thank you very much! Now I feel that I can play with my mind at ease, hehe. :P Up until now it has been all "oh come on, let's win this one!" and when I died it was disheartening. I had a lot of tries the night yesterday, wi...

I can't freaking believe it! I just ascended for the first time! Take a look. (little fun fact, I was using a vampiric trident which i got from Terence on D:3, which i got to +9 +8 throughout the game so I couldn't cut chunks with it and was eating permafood all the time, sacrificing all corpses to ...

I mostly get crap from acquirement, but this time I got a "little" lucky, I guess. At first I was "Oh man, it's just a buckler" Well what it turned out to be is a beast:

in a shop on D:24 the +6 gold dragon armour "Siramni" {rElec rPois rF+ rC+ SInv} (15405 gp) It's going to take a while to find all that gold. Come on, dude, that's lame. :P a - [D:6] the +16 gold dragon armour "Goxom" {rElec rPois rF+ rC+} (18850 gold) This on my DDCK of Elyvilo...

Moreover, it would be fiendishly difficult to find any genuine references to dragon-derived humanoids, because they don't exist . To be fair, this never stopped the more imaginative Greek historians from writing about tribes of headless people with faces in their chests and people with one big foot...

Yeah I had one, helped a lot in elf and vaults (sending back big stones at stone giants, hehe)

What annoys me with all the pressure plates is that even if you found the trap you can't walk on it no matter your skill in traps and doors. So you have to trigger it in some cases to progress in the level or dig/blink your way around it. I have to say I've had wicked fun lately with open levels whe...

*MIND BLOWN*

In my failed run I linked above I also ended up with the same feeling. But I'm ready to play again! I had lots of fun and gained knowledge that's gonna help a lot. Or so I hope. Sometimes the RNG just doesn't like you. :P Silliness edit: I "fired up" an Octopode Monk of TSO yesterday. Amaz...

1) In-game auto-pick up options
2) Permabuffs. Especially like it about the forms. I can finally play a shapeshifter the way I want it.
3) Forest branch

Daaaaaamn, that PDA is sick indeed. On my last YASD with a MDFi I found a -3 randart dragon armor with no exceptional bonuses. -.-

...Oh yeah. I forgot. Congrats!

I like the food reform, it makes things more realistic. However, and don't get me wrong please, I have some suggestions for an even more realistic and ideal (granted, for me only, maybe) food game, would you gentlemen please lend me an ear? "May the gods shield me from the flaming of trollish h...

The fact that I can't use a rod along with a cursed weapon or the resistances from a randart weapon make it kind of interesting. Your cursed +4, +5 short sword of electrocution prevents you from switching to your +9 Rod of Destruction {inacc, fire, cold}! You kindly ask the Shadow Dragon to wait fo...

I just viewed the spreadsheet and I saw the quote for draconians... It's totally irrelevant to dragon kin. I can't find something that fits, but the quote has absolutely nothing to do with dragon mutants. It's from a historian named Plutarch that kept records of things that happened in Ancient Greec...

Wow that's some terrible rotting there... :| Here, take a look at my first and most recent Zot:5 fail run with a MDFi of Oki here: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2817 .

Sorry to hear about this man. Shit just waits to happen around the corner in Crawl. Hellfire is a bitch from what I've read on the wiki. Rather ironic that 3 layers of fire resist can't protect you from it. :P On another note, this post inspired me to play MDFi again. Hope I can bring a nice CiP in ...

Those spriggan also make the trees attack you for quite a bit of damage. I can't read console maps, so I can't tell if this was an issue for you or not. Check out the one line before the last on the bottom. It says "angry trees". Oh well. That's crawl for you. We learn with each failure. ...

Yeah hmm... He actually gifted me a +0 +5 crossbow of evasion as his first gift actually, which pissed me off cause I didn't even have the crossbow skill available or throwing trained. I even kept a stash in Lair1 with bolts etc lol. :P But I didn't die because of lack of ranged (I'd like to believe...

Don't mean to hijack the thread, so sorry in advance, but see what happened to my mummies so far tonight; MuFi 1 Trog. Got the axe fixedart, "Arga". Got banished by Erolcha (first time it happens to me actually) MuFi 2 Oka. The one that got the boots. Was actually going very well till I de...

Actually I got my Boots of Speed right now on a Mummy Fighter! Maybe he lives to see the Orb. Or not, judging from my luck with mummies so far.

Yeah I know but I've never had any better than this on a melee mummy.
