They are hostile to everything except the player character, and will actively fight it, so don't bother with animating or summoning stuff, as it will just die. "Neutral" is different that "peaceful", as in the result of Ely's pacification, these will just seek a way out of the le...

Yes, jellies eat doors and none of the items. You can shoot them with whatever. Shields still lower your attack speed. It's the armour slowing your unarmed attacks that got removed (quite a while ago).

I'd rather remove bolt of fire.

Not sure if worth the gold, I mean, MR is the most important quality of a weapon, right?

Except Transmutation ban is the very Zin theme? Also, you're allowed to use clouds IIRC. You only get penance if you damage something with the negative energy ones, and for that, you'd need high evo anyway.

Lee's Rapid Deconstruction can destroy rock walls at mere 35 power. That said, don't bother. There's some loot behind these walls and nothing of importance, and you should just get the rune and get out in Tar:7.

Azure jellies kill TRJ super-fast, 50+ damage per attack is likely.

And Whirlwind. Healing for moving is the best.

"Smart", as in, like losing a character in Zot specifically due to blurry vision. Sure. And on topic, go upstairs, clear Crypt:3 (use digging on the grates, one at a time), maybe hope for some better shield, as this one is mediocre. If there's none, dump your 7 ?EA into it. Then return to ...

You will also note I had over 10 levels in Earth magic and no Earth spells. "Why is Statue Form's name still red?! It's only like 4%; miscasts should be safe by now! ......Oh." 4% Should be either gray or yellow miscasts by then, although I assume you mean you were looking at the wrong sp...

When wielding restrictions are player-only:

Code:: A crimson imp is wielding the +10 zealot's sword {holy, *Rage rN+ EV+3}.

18:06:20? Perhaps you meant 2 minutes?

It's the other way around: Depths are guaranteed to have an encompass vault level, so you may expect it to be as common elsewhere, which it isn't.

I agree, though having polearms higher feels weird. I'd flatten all their apts to -1 now, with maybe UC at 0. That would be in line with their ranged apts, and also with the idea that ogres are bad at using tools.

Are you forgetting the absolute butchering of ogres as a unique race? Are you for real or is this one of these "literally Hitler" hyperboles? They're large humans with worse defences but more health, now. Elves are humans with better magic. Hill orcs are humans with some apts tweaked. Min...

Put on the boots, they are near-guaranteed to be non-bad, and very likely to be good. You may drop the dagger and spear, these are useless for you. With M&F at 6-8 I'd start putting 33% of exp into dodging.

Remove the Amulet of Eternity. It's crap. You have MPregen and it's good. Also put +4 protection instead of the resistance ring. Putting on resistances when a resistible threat arrives shall suffice, and you already have rF+ from the staff and MR+++. Do you seriously have no better cloak? If not, en...

Even more so if training evo for occasional ranged attack.

Mara is easy to kill with stairs and you have a sacred scourge, though it would be better to have rF+.

Jiyva nerf!

I'd say that "Apocalypse" and "great annihilating truth" are more in need of bikeshedding than Power Leap.

Lunge/jump loop with a lot of noise encourages you to lure much farther than normally.

Since you declined to explain what strength actually does and isntead tried to explain how simple multiplication works instead. That's exactly the thing - strength does the simple multiplication of damage. Multiplying sacred scourge damage and unarmed damage by a positive strength multiplier does n...

And I never have lost 4 mushrooms to a single hydra. But I don't dare to argue, I have realized I'm capable of being wrong many years ago.

Code:: .*. .*. f*. .@. .D.

Stars are your path. Then find something to circle around in the north, rinse and repeat. Attack the hydra if it becomes distracted.

even without considering dith's stealth bonus, he still offers umbra, shadow step, shadow form, fog on hit, and shadow mimic So just defensive bonuses (except shadow mimic, which is a very minor offense boost for Sbl melee) for a race that already can "defend" from everything by walking a...

infusion, ozocubu's armour, regeneration, spectral weapon, excruciating wounds, ring of flames, death's door

Crawl allies 101: don't let hydras attack, make them walk next to your dudes. Works not only with mushrooms.

I often find shoals:1-3 easier than snake:1-3. Shoals:4 is way harder though, and if it happens to be that "open" variant, then even elf:3 should be easier.

Animate Dead kills them easy. That's one of the reasons Kiku is better for SpEn than Dith (breaking news: spriggans don't need more stealth than they already get for super-cheap). Also nets, but that is like 100x less reliable than Just Going Kiku™

He's afraid of Blink Allies Encircling and Portal Projectile IMO. I'd call it justified for that kind of char.

Die and learn. Ditching a god is usually a bad idea, a very bad one if the god is Trog and a super bad one just before going to Pan at XL 20.

Ring of shadows in not that boring, and easily associable with stealth.

Not every zealot is a member of the Zealots. Or, like, none of them, because that political and religious (in that order) organization ceased to exist almost 2000 years ago.

Exactly the same, but with rotation.

-Will the broad axe work as a weapon? It's not bad, but a bigger thing would be better. I guess you don't have a well-enchanted exec axe of antimagic or holy wrath, so it'll probably have to suffice. -Is my INT high enough to avoid stat zero in the tomb+hell? Yes.

They are, 50% of the time.

Never thought these will actually mean something.

This is, indeed, my typical everyday game scenario.

TrAr of Nemelex in 0.13. Almost managed to die on Zot:5. Terrible.

Why not just same-duration slow + exh? Simple and efficient IMO.

264 AC-bypassing damage per turn from anywhere on the screen This is wrong. 264 is a top value (not sure if it's accurate though) when he is next to you, and any other monsters decrease this value further (not to mention it's super unlikely to roll that high, much less than 1/264). no real defense ...

Everything minus that stuff you do for 90% of your turns.

These are for the XL. Skill costs are different: http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=blob;f=crawl-ref/source/skills.cc;h=0fd9ed62f2e1309c4e2a9995c113c21b026201ff;hb=57475440fce832e1960ba40186f6ee8b2b9c8347#l1497 It is true that it's a bad idea to go for skill 27, particularly so before the very lat...

Run with a debugger (for example: gdb crawl), set a breakpoint in player::hurt (b player::hurt in gdb), then go and fight. "amount" variable is the amount of damage. Note that it can get modified later in the Attack class functions and by "fineff" effects.

If you ask for something similar to HE people will suggest species that play more or less the same. Obviously some traits are different, these are different species after all. But do these particular traits are more important than the gameplay?
