guardian spirit also reduces torment damage (by not taking your MP into consideration when calculating it)

So... what if the .des files were in a private repository? I can see three obvious challenges: * Offline versions of crawl would need to have a different set of .des files. * Contributing vaults is one of the easiest ways to get involved in crawl development, and this would make that significantly ...

should have zapped that wand of polymorph

it'll be better if you made the bar different heights, e.g.

gozag knows how to run a business, so you get the ability to apport all gold in LOS directly to your inventory for a 10% cut

you don't need to imagine, this already happens with banishment

I think this sums up the problem rather well. Formicids must use a shield, because it's all which makes up for their lack of teleport, haste and rage (shaft and dig and sensing enemies don't really make up for it). This makes spellcasting and stealthy builds problematic for a large part of the game...

i'm sure one of the many other devs would have reverted the change, then

But with the species Spectre that I'm proposing, they cast spells from their HP, meaning that reverse Aug might actually do something for them. you could just give them -40% hp and permanent augmentation, which would have a similar effect. reverse augmentation is proposing that: at the point where ...

humans can lift the dark maul fine too? in either case flavour can go either way on this issue so you can't really use it to justify either side of the argument

do players have a problem with bardings and aux slots?

and then a dev decided no, the ability to have insane defenses is their conceit Or, alternatively, having an extra set of arms does magically make you able to wield tree trunks...

Their main gimmick is stasis, and digging to make up for it, but as originally conceived they could also use giant sized weapons, but gave up their shield. I don't think being super good defensively is really their main selling point, although it makes sense along with the stasis. being able to dig...

if you want to play a glass cannon, the option already exists in the game, play an ogre. ogres do a better job of being a glass cannon than formicids because their defenses are even worse than formicids at any point in the game (except for that magical moment where you find a hat and enchant armour...

well, I did said damage, not dps(a?)

throwing is still good, tomahawks are basically claws 3 throwing (and javelins is like claws 5) in terms of damage

no... the fire would burn the air elemental's natural oxygen away???

I mean, seriously: 7 + 1d(1d4 - 1 + (1d(Power) - 1)/6) + (1d(Power) - 1)/7 damage. according to the source code the bracketing is wrong, it's actually supposed to be 7 + 1d( 1d4 - 1 + (1d(Power) - 1)/6 + (1d(Power) - 1)/7 ) Source code: 1004 int hurted = 8 + random2(random2(4) + (random2(pow) / 6) ...

silence, dispel undead, lignification in a pinch

you can just play mi and ignore spellcasting, I interpret duvessa's response as "just play a spellcasting mi instead of this race"

the pros of this species is mi with spellcasting bonuses (+int and +spellcasting apts) so it's not a very interesting race to add for newcomers since mi is already a popular race. the only reason someone would play this race (regardless of what weakness you give them) is because they want to play a ...

Let's not all forget about LRD or shatter in our excitement about removing disint and lowering availability of digging! Of course... there's still always the option of dragging a troll around to dig for you... but I'd have to see someone actually pull it off to say it's really even possible, let al...

you're a deep dwarf, just spam heal wounds (possibly hasted) if you're in actual danger

ghouls couldn't use stoneskin in the first place

you should train UC so you can punch things with your +1 UC aptitude and claws instead of relying on a mediocre weapon(especially short blades...)

ghouls can't reach full, you should be eating chunks to either recover HP or getting out of hungry

dodge 3 hydra heads, get 1.5 ripostes on average, then get murdered as the other heads attack your low AC character

S:4 is dangerous because it contains the rune, which is typically surrounded by lots of enemies (most of them high tier) so the enemy density is significantly higher/more deadly

the devs forgot to add that

you should read the comments to this post

abandoned shops are just features like fountains

would you prefer the game to just spawn an abandoned shop instead

You say yes and then don't give me the reason. If it's because the player is supposed to adapt to the altars that spawn, then why does the player have the ability to choose their own class and race? To my knowledge, it's because we're allowed to select how we play the game. With the obvious excepti...

i went into wizmode and tested and it turns out Leda's actually just prevents flight entirely when you cast it (and you can't cast it if you're flying)

edit: you can transform into a dragon while under Leda's and it will cancel it, but you can't transform into a bat or cast Tornado

Sorry to derail the thread, but would it make sense if flying cancelled the effect of leda's liquefaction ? I understand it as the ground getting unstable. It would be nice for Gargoyle and Tengu, and at the same time reduces the efficiency of the spell against flying monsters ? Kinda the opposite ...

rename deep dwarf to mountain dwarf, then remove them (again)

clones worm genus monsters

better idea: remove hydra slicing interaction

I really don't feel like having to 'lug' around an alternate method of dealing damage because a particular creature has an invulnerability or is strong to your damage type or whatever is all that horrible? it is, that's why the devs removed amulets of clarity/stasis/rmut. having to carrying around ...

dowan wrote:the devs see no possible way to completely prevent them without also watering the game down considerably.

no, the move speed change is because slouch used to check action speed (i.e. how fast monsters attack) which meant stuff like spriggans took the same damage as normal move speed monsters despite the fact slouch uses the player's move speed for damage.

ok so you got greedy, wanted more xp from a monster that had a reasonable chance of paralyzing you (and doing things that can kill you) and died

no, i'm suggesting using teleport too. you're following dith, and you're wearing a robe (for some reason) so there was no reason to actually kill the orc sorceror i mean ignoring the fact that the orc sorceror summoned a sixfirhy there's a bunch of additional things you did that are baffling -wearin...

CanOfWorms This is my point, it was unavoidable. the sixfirhy was summoned before you were paralyzed though: The orc sorcerer gestures wildly while chanting. You hit the orc sorcerer but do no damage. Your headbutt misses the orc sorcerer. The orc sorcerer is almost dead. You barely miss the orc so...
