From the flavor point of view it seems a bit silly that you still lose piety in such situation. Technically, you're still removing the amulet from your bare %race_name% body here, replacing it with another amulet. Imagine two powerfull artefacts capable of improving relationship with your %god_name...

I'll definatelly try that.

I think he meant 25% chance to get banished into abyss on unwield. Which almost the same thing for a low level character.

Thing is, people could just abuse that. "I don't like this card, I'll just invoke it". Since the decks are infinite, and the piety cost for invoking one card won't be too high. That's why I think you shouldn't know what card it is, unless apropriate ability is used. Either stacking or some...

Sounds really good to me. Except knowing what card it is, before invoking. Maybe adding another ability to identify, which card is in the deck, is a good idea. AFAIK, you can't find any decks laying around anymore in trunk. And it goes like this: * Nemelex Xobeh's abilities now use invocations, not ...

You should always start as a Wanderer, because you will have more consumables which are already identified.

Can we have a different item type of Nemelex deck gifts for an autopickup? (trunk)
Since it is no longer based on evocation, it is a bit tedious to constantly drop items like box of beasts, fan of gales etc.

Why's Beogh likes to smite things so much anyways?

Would like to know too. Probably the reason is getting something insanely good or bad, like staff of Crazy Yiuf Energy {+energy, 9 MP, distortion, +5 Int +5 AC *Corrode *Contam} Or it is just on not-to-do list Maybe all randarts have some probability of getting the "-Cast" property, and th...

I've always been opening those, since most of the times there isn't much of threat in there and it is basically more exp. If there is - just use fear\tele\blink.

I'm a formicid addict and have occasionally had similarly silly wand acquirements; hasting is possible, and digging isn't even any less likely for them apparently. It saves you food! Because starving to death is so frequent. And less snarkily, it's faster than the dig ability if you need to dig lot...

From what I can see, you were trying to level too much skills. Which is a bad thing for any race, and especially for Ds (since aptitudes and exp gain isn't good). Try not too much exp on Ds on different things. Focus on something one. Next up, even if levelling too much spellcasting is not very help...

Make sure to properly setup your path to game files in init file.
Add or uncomment following lines in init.txt, and write a proper path to those directories. Usually that helps me in such cases.

What you call "playing IE as a blaster" can also be accurately described as, "I refuse to use a powerful part of my starting kit." I got that. There must be one and only way to play the game, right? Think otherwise and you're marked as really bad player for eternity. If I don't ...

Didn't Ignite Poison once cause poison-based monsters to erupt in flames without having to have the poison status? Why was that taken away? It was one of the best features of that spell, back in the day, and helped make Venom Mages stronger because they actually had a decent attack spell against po...

Scaling both conj and element is required futher on. This is irrelevant. It's not irrelevant, because we're talking about the dangerous earlygame, which freeze is most likely to get you through alive... you're the one who brought up miscast chance, anyhow! It won't, if you're getting smacked in a f...

guess which spell out of Freeze and Flame Tongue requires almost twice the XP to get the same success rate Scaling both conj and element is required futher on. This is irrelevant. Both got around 10% And with spell power, Flame Tongue gets range, and damage. Surely it is easier to cast, but what is...

It matters a lot if you miss on early dungeon, because you can miss repeatedly(or roll shit damage with magic dart)... being at 0 MP with enemy untouched sucks for caster start. Having a three tries from a RANGE makes a better option to choose, whether to run or keep fighting. Kite monters and dest...

I agree on this. Poison magic got severe issues, and should be reworked.
Ice got it's own problems too.

People say Freeze is better than Flame Tongue because it does more damage, ignores EV and ignores AC. This kind of matters on D:1 when you have like 3 MP. Is there a plate mail orc, hanging around somewhere at D:1 I haven't manage to spot? Range is better than damage, or secondary effects. There is...

Seriously though, is your argument "IE are bad, because I don't like to use their best spell"? I don't think Ice Beasts is the best IE can toss. If it is... Then you're right. Every person plays the game how they like. That's why I think IE starter kit is weaker than FE|EE|Cj. Lacking lev...

Freeze is extremely powerful for a lvl 1 spell, way better than flame tongue I'd rather prefer range over damage. Since you can cast it multiple times, before enemy can even reach you. Add a conj flame, and that becames a total abuse. Defence wise - ozocubu's is great. But here's a thing, you won't...

Because nowadays, if you wanna deal damage - roll EE, FE, or Cj. Otherwise, you're gonna get a bad, very bad time how is FE better than IE or even AE It is better, because there's less branches with rF than with rC, or rElec or resistant monsters overall. You also don't need to overtrain a magic sc...

I'm considering making a thread to ask why these are still in the game, but it might not be worth that much. Because You see an abyss rune here. It cackles and vanishes in a puff of smoke.

I would've chosen this

Code:: +8 glaive of the Guard {elec, +Rage AC+5 SInv}

Because of AC and also, less skill required to reach min delay Nvm, you've already got enough.
