limited spell slots but infinite exchange is the same thing as infinite spell slots, you are just moving the spell slots to your inventory/the floor in the form of books and arguably making it more tedious to access specific spells

okay I went and grabbed the number of acid dragons:

1.06 (0.70 scales) in D
0.12 (0.08 scales) in Lair
3.38 (1.58 scales) in a whole 3-rune game with Swamp/Snake

roughly quadrupling the amount of archmagi in D/Lair/Orc would be pretty strong, yeah

you start with your bare hands, more than sufficient to choke any D:1 gnoll to death*

*may not actually be sufficient

Acid dragons are way more common than monsters wearing robe of Archimagi. from the 0.20 objstat sheet: 0.12 robes of archmagi in D 0.14 robes of archmagi in Orc 0.98 robes of archmagi in a whole 3-rune game with Swamp/Snake (note: this is counting optional branches like Elf, Crypt, and portals) 0.0...

how is it op? currently you can get a similar, if not stronger effect with robes of archmagi+ozocubu

fountains *are* useful, you can make steam clouds with them

to be clear, the interior contains permanent teleport traps and the unknown portals are just empty shops/portals. there is nothing of value inside

should grant immunity to mephitic clouds and have the ** ability make meph clouds instead of steam

You're missing summon butterflies!!! For the MR-checking spellpower modifiers, they are as follows: ⋅ Corona gets a +10 bonus to spellpower. (see spl-zap.cc:spell_zap_power) ⋅ Corona, Slow, Tukima's Dance, Teleport Other and all forms of mass enchantments (i.e. Discord, Cause Fea...

it's a complicated way of saying "drop everyone's fighting/spellcasting aptitudes by 2 and call it a day", all it does is make it require more exp to achieve the same level of fighting/spellcasting, but now characters have a substantial power level boost because if they invest 12 polearms ...

you're aware that non-chei/naga characters can just walk away from shambling mangroves right (because they're speed 8)

barachi might need to use hop to clear a gap but the speed difference should be very marginal

that form of paralysis is resisted by not being in melee range of hornets (which also only appear in that situation if you decide to fight a speed 8 monster for some reason)

Two-headed player species. In particular, no to two-headed playable ogres, double no to wearing two amulets at once and double double no to simultaneous religions.

Edit: completely misread that original sentence

if I genocide centaurs, do I also genocide centaur warriors, nessos and centaur derived undead in fact just ask that question for any monster that is classed like orcs or elves. do you think it's more reasonable for players to expect genociding orcs to wipe out the orcish mines, or to only wipe out ...

Sculpture, per se, is the simplest thing in the world. All you have to do is to take a big chunk of marble and a hammer and chisel, make up your mind what you are about to create and chip off all the marble you don’t want.

Those jellies are not summons at all, I wonder where you got that idea from. Probably because they have the same little dot by them as summoned creatures in tiles? Or else I need more magnification, but it wouldn't be the first time if so. they don't have the summon dot http://i.imgur.com/7jIMYDX.p...

how can you not have a plan against lerny, you're a mibe. airdrop your bros and use your battleaxe of flaming

As for perceived cultural insensitivity... Seriously cultural divides are a thing, they go both ways. If you think that's fucked up you may be right. Personally I call our progress as a species from "mongrel heathen scum in the next village die tonight" to "Wow those dudes on another...

yes, the amount of HP+MP you lose will always be equal to the damage you take. if you don't have enough MP the game will be forced to remove HP, although that only happens at very low values of MP because spirit shield balances the damage so that your HP% loss and MP% loss are as equal as possible. ...

if your HP is significantly lower than your MP then spirit shield effectively diverts all damage to MP, that's what proportional sharing means

Do sacrifice values affect each other? Sacrificing magic and artifice makes both sacrifices have a stronger impact Sac Love is worth effectively nothing if you've already sacrificed Artifice and Summonings and worth less if you've sacrificed one of the two, and similarly Artifice is worth less if y...

but trolls are already large mummies, except they can actually punch???

I should add that I think Ghouls are an apt comparison here. They have claws to start the game, *and* clearly better apts for UC. Does this remove meaningful choice? If so, by virtue of starting with claws, they should get -2 or lower UC to compensate. If we think Ghouls are at a good place, I thin...

ambrosia hasn't been blocked by clarity for a while

it's always been temporary flight since at least 0.15, you may be thinking of boots of flight which is indeed permanent

the gold distraction effect kicks in when you kill the monster, not when you pick up gold (your gold turns blue when this is happening)

there are a few problems with this setup: ⋅ unless the item is guaranteed to be usable right out of the proverbial box, a player should just treat it like a trove (i.e. don't use it unless you're so overpowered the cost is meaningless) ⋅ i don't really see what kind of cost makes...

draconians are not "lightly armoured" casters considering they naturally get +4-13 ac over the course of the game (without even counting gloves/boots or the extra ac from gray dracs)

You only need to hold tab (1 press) to clear an entire room of monsters*

what if there's a branch with 2 OKs but 10^100 non-OKs and another branch that has no sub-branches and is OK, is it still optimal to take the branch with 2 OKs (e.g. if you have the orb of zot and you're on the exit, is it more optimal to do random things since it can generate more OK branches inste...

I have just checked in wizmode to be sure. I created a killing hole with 3 tiles and blink always landed me at the furthest tile (tried about 10 times). Though when there was just a single available tile and it was adjacent, I did land at it sometimes (but more often I got "You feel jittery fo...

Octopodes have 11 slots, so that's theoretically +110, Chei gives you +15, brilliance gives +5, add that to base Octopode int and possibly sprinkle some Jiyva stat shuffling/Focus card in older versions.

We should also considering removing weapons from the game. Having different weapon types is pointless because you're never going to use weapons from a different skill pool instead of the one all your XP is invested into actually i have a character using both a dire flail of pain and a lajatang of s...

non-AK players are usually presented with the decision to choose between chei and ely more often than the decision to choose between chei and lugonu

Sure.

However, I don't like how while they have much better, health, stats, and mana, they pay by basically being humans that advance 5/6 as fast in skills and lose the ability to have a god.

you can't gain movement/diet changing mutations through mutation though

and kiku is already is better than that set of mutations (ignoring movement since you can't actually get it)
