Elaborate.

2. Poison skin They have same skin color with poison arrow frog! I get this idea from lovely Barachians tile you made. Anyway, The opponent has a chance of being poisoned when using an attack, that requires physical contact. If Barachians get body mutations like horns or teeth, they can poison enem...

Bring back HE or play a MiBe.

I hope the standard for races doesn't become the maim-and-bandage ideology that Frogs are. Because Frogs are a poor man's Naga.

I did HOBe as a joke (I told my friends that it was a waste of a race with more thought than a Minotaur could ever have and was going to prove it) and accidentally won my first game with it. It was then I realized versatile apts mean little compared to good HP and a +3 apt to the most controversial ...

Increase their stealth apt to +3 and sure. I'd love that.

HELL if it gave MR+ I'd wear it.

I would be down for it. This is one of the greatest boons to wanderer, the identified tools, but I think giving them to everyone would weaken it and Fighter to a lesser extent. I would much prefer just an identified potion of lignification, but that's because it's just a superbly designed potion and...

Soon, soon.

Yeah, Sidhe would be cool. They could be slow elves with better magical apts or something, since the other slow race is good at, uh. Nothing.

As much as I hate the *Fragile ego, I think I found a good use for it... third alternative: rMut amulet is back with 100% protection, always has *Fragile, and acts as if you drank a potion of mutation if you remove it. If it's fragile, that means we're encouraged to carry more than one, which is so...

This sounds exciting. I hope there's a way to make sure an unrand doesn't bust the game. Maybe making it a rand is better? I really like the thought of a manual influencing how you play a game, it's kinda like Merfolk but less Merfolk.

M&F is generally the biggest, baddest weapons you can hold in any class. They also happen to be the most well rounded. Morningstars have 13 base damage, which is more than enough to win a game with, not to mention they're common enough. Eveningstars are overkill. Whips work great with additive b...

Too simple, won't be implemented.

I like it, though.

Yes monsters standing outside of clouds take no damage from them, thanks for that high level knowledge. Fcloud is significantly worse at this than the level 3 fire spells and corpse rot since by the time you learn the level 6 3 school spell and find a place where it's more mp efficent you just evok...

That's what they said about the removal of haste.

CanOfWorms wrote:ah, but spellcasting already gives 50% hp and 50% mp. it's called "training fighting/spellcasting at a 50/50 rate"

You know what? That's a good idea, I'll start doing that. Thank you.

You know how Spellcasting gives you twice MP before step ups that evo/invocations would give you? What if Spellcasting (and only Spellcasting) gave you a third of the HP training Fighting normally would, and Fighting joined the 'vocation skills at a reduced rate, giving a third of the MP that Spellc...

Doesnt wrote:Unarmed attacks would presumably reach 0.0 delay at 54 skill, allowing you to freely erase anything that gets in melee range.

Engaging isn't free, thankfully. You still have to walk those tiles to tactically delete anything from play.

- small - Flap: Their strong wings allow them to deal additional melee damage - Peck - Clunky: Weapon delay +0.1 - cold resistance 1 (2 at level 21) - amphibious - Slow Movement 2 - "Glider" - active ability that allows them to move at lightning speed for 7 tiles into a single direction. ...

For quite a while I have a penguin race in mind that I want to mod in in my local game to replace merfolk (... well, once I learn how to mod this game, that's it). They also have slow movement and a "glide" skill for compensation - the option to move at extremely high speed into a given d...

I don't think EE would be overpowered if it could just cast powered sandblast without any ammo. It would be an easier and more thoughtless start for careless/new players who screwed up by wasting their stones on bats, rats, unarmed goblins and whatever, though. Sandblast does pretty formidable dama...

I think fun is good justification if it doesn't break the game.

This seems like an RC file thing. I don't understand it, though, it's my excuse for not using it.

Ignite Poison should be removed, jokes aside. It's really good, but it explicitly takes one of Poison's big weaknesses (DoT) and removes it for 3MP. If it sped up the process I'd be fine with it, but I doubt anyone would use it then. Olgreb's is the most underrated spell in the game and mulches huma...

0.19 is probably gonna become the definitive version of this game for a fair few, yeah, kind of like how 0.16 became definitive for some because of the removal of item destruction.

Please no.

"hasting is pretty unlikely" hardly seems accurate considering the number of haste potions that generate in the average 3-runer I've found 5 and am about to complete Vaults: 4. I don't know if that's a lot. I've used one versus Agnes because I thought I could kill her with it and Might, l...

Formicid is not weak or bad species. Their +2 apt on shields is pretty powerful because with Okawaru it's enough to raise Shields lv4/lv10 to use shield/large shield w/o penalty. Because shields are OP item in this game the ability of wielding 2H wpn+shield is damn good. On 0.19 tourney I got Lord ...

FORMICID: With the removal of on demand Haste, pooling teleport in wands and the nerfs to translocations in Zot, are Dwant a challenge race anymore? People have proven time and time again that Stasis ain't so bad, and now that hasting is pretty unlikely, Finesse bypasses Stasis, slow/para are just a...

Do you have the full picture.

lol xD

this is an unusual amount, because people got salty for historical context though, this isn't quite on the level of the great MD Storm of '12 MD was a melee dude with a slight buff to fire apts that were given to Hill Orc. High Elf was a semi-challenge race with that filled several nuances and nich...

When were wands of haste/tele/heal removed, and if the latter is removed, is Deep Dwarf getting axed?

I like this, but I think I'm the one player who delved into Crawl for flavor.

OM is back, now Enchantments...

No, this sounds fantastic, though I'd still like to see a system implemented for Hexes that gives partial credit for multiple hexing attempts (how many times have you missed a 37% confusion before? Certainly more than three, and I have too). It has my blessings.

Why not High Elf and Low Elf?

High Elf was a good removal because the blonde pixels in their hair slowed down the game too much.

Kind of crummy Nemelex is getting axed, glad someone's doing good with a good mechanic. I'd play.

30% more damage doesn't matter if you miss 30% more often, right? What is the supposed justification for the acc penalty on big weapons? No, don't say game balance, we know that had nothing to do with it. If the theory is "big heavy weapon is slow to swing therefore the enemy can dodge it more...

Reinstate HE, return ogres to theis GSC niche, then maintain status quo. What kills me is Ogre's ridiculous gains over their losses, because knocking -2 off EVERY magical apt was big, I wish we could've gotten something much less extreme like that for Mummy or something. It's that Ogre being funnel...

Urinate on me.

If High Elf isn't very similar to Tengu, and if they're played the same way, High Elf is almost strictly a weaker blaster caster, and if they challenge one-another in melee, Tengu is generally better at maintaining the melee role though will always lag behind in HP. High Elf is not made to utilize o...

I'm still ticked off HE's got removed before Merfolk.

Nobody thought they were "slightly worse humans" i did I agree with -1 in spells, because having -3 everywhere along with poor Int made it veeery hard to play a pure spellcaster Ogre. Why -1 in Maces & Clubs, though? Did 0 or +1 put duvessa into a nervous breakdown again or something?...

There isn't a race who's made to balance all three forms of combat (melee, ranged, and magic) while still having the option to use magic for situational support (translo, charms). human they're like HE but with slightly fewer skill levels and significantly more hit points Several +1's, +2's and -1'...

doesn't it mean you guys think Og/Ba's change makes HE redundant? Obligatory "comparing medium races to large races isn't good because medium races can utilize much more equipment than large characters can". Yeah, I'd agree with how they did occupy niches, I liked where they were with the...

(Give Deep Elf -1 to Dodge/Shields and 0 to Long Blades) I think they'd be fine with 0 long blades and their current +2 Dodge apt, since they already have reason enough to avoid melee. There isn't a race who's made to balance all three forms of combat (melee, ranged, and magic) while still having t...

Halflings are now a relatively uninteresting species in terms of gameplay, feeling somewhat like Kobolds but with better melee aptitudes. Their theme originates from Tolkien, a source of lore that crawl is trying to borrow less from these days. Their ability to use the sling not withstanding, this p...

Rework Mennas' silence aura and we'll remove wand of teleportation. It's why I carry it.
