Perhaps the simple solution is to increase the variety of creatures that can appear in Pan and extended situations. Ideally it would be nice to have alternating end game realms like how you are not going to get the same two lair branches each time, but failing that lots of corrupted humans and anima...

Long story short, I made YASD. The RNG was being a bitch. I test wielded an artifact Glaive just to see what it was; it was distortion. The glow from unweilding gave me a -mp mutation(Could have been much worse). Then I found a Bazzar. It contained 3 shops. Two of them were armor shops, but NO DRAGO...

Thanks for the advice. I'll skip spider for now. I figured 4 levels of bugs would be some(Relatively) easy EXP before I had to deal with Yaktaurs in the vaults, but I guess I am more likely to find my dragon armor in the vaults. -Edit: Silly me, I just found a route around Roxane that I missed. Met ...

Alright. I took some time off from crawl after my first win awhile back. I got back into it recently, as it sounds like I'll be getting the hardware to do Lets Play's for Christmas, and this game would by cool to LP with so I might as well re-acclimate myself to it. Anyway, about the character. Alth...

Might as well throw some of my ideas into the mix. Amulet of the Divine Guardian: {Guardian Spirit, rN++, Stealth---} Each time you are hit and lose MP while wearing this Amulet there is an (MP lost * 2)% chance of summoning a friendly servant of a good god. A Glistening Golden Amulet (UnIDed) +3 Bo...

Got it! Should I go straight for Zot? Or stick around here for a bit to work on my fighting and armor skill once I finish my shields?

Okay. I slipped out of that mess, left the abyss to grab some fire protection, found an aquirement scroll to refresh my food stock, and am closing in on lvl 26. I'll give you another dump once I reach 27, get the rune, or die trying.

Okay. I'm in the abyss. I saw the rune once (In a vault full of friendly angels no less) but was teleported away before I could grab it. Now I am in a bit of a pickle. How should I escape, or if you think this is a rune vault, how should I clear it? The room is full of dragons, and fire is the one e...

I said I'd put the Shield away for the branch end when arrows are required.

Well I sure as hell have some more enchant weapon scrolls stashed. Might just turn on archery, do the crypt for some levels, bless my arrows some more, and drop my shield just for the branch end.

I mostly use the Long Bow to pick off things running away, or to score a few hits on something closing in. I don't consider it my main means of hurting things, and I know the shield slows it down a lot. I have several MR items scattered about the dungeon. Without the hive around I never bothered act...

Alright. Dungeon Proper cleared. Right now the plan is to go back and finish elf (Draining attacks drove me out last time), and then check out the crypt, before going after the last rune. Torn between vaults and abyss. Zin Powers and boots of running scream abyss. If I juggle my jewlery and am caref...

Thanks for running the numbers for me guys. All I know is that I'm able to melee things now that would squash most of the other characters I've played. I'm on d26, and I'll throw up another dump once/if I clear d27.

I lucked out and found the exit very quickly. I had to leave Elf though because the conjurers draining bolts were moving my level up progression in the wrong direction. Found some unIDed boots of running in a Bazzar for under 100 gold. With those on my feet and some sneaky Zin escape powers I'm thin...

Okay. Just got banished in halls. Could elf mages always do that, or is that something new? Never had a basic mage do that to me before. Any advice on surviving the abyss with this character?

Alright. Got out of that mess and picked up two runes. Swamp Rune Chamber was empty when I found it, but as I entered Xtahua and Agnes show up and I race to reach the rune and pop a Teleport before they can get me. I grabbed the rune, read a tele scroll, and started trading blows with the spriggan u...

Alright. So I decided to start playing crawl again. After a few days of getting myself used to the changes in Trunk I got a good Beoghite going, who made it pretty deep into the shoals before getting gang raped by snapping turtles. Thinking about what went wrong I kinda forgot that only Orcs could w...

Oh my. This combo is awesome. I got my second one right off the ground. (First one found a lajatang of electricty on d2 and promply got overconfident and splattered by the next ogre to show up). Probably could have taken this one deep into the game if she didn't auto explore into that narrow vault w...

I somehow managed to ruin a perfectly good Beoghite by turning on wizard mode unintentionally. I used wizmode to "cheat" twice. Recently, after clearing Zot 4 for the first time ever with a powerful character I decided to wiz another character through Zot 5 just to get the feel for it befo...

And Dead. But at least he got a rune on the way out. I got a snake ending that I have never seen before, where all three stairs entered the floor near the heavily guarded rune. I played it smart and used the stairs to fight only one or two real threats at a time. Met Terpsichore, and lead her upstai...

If you don't plan on taking on the vault on Elf5 Invisibility will work wonders on all the non bottom level elves. Just a ring/evokable artifact with the effect makes the branch clearable barring a nasty unique. Back out of sight when you see a threatening elf, mash the turn invisible command until ...

Eh. I guess I'll pump EXP into Necro then. Hopefully I'll get lucky with the spell. If I don't have the spell by the time I enter the Abyss I'll turn of Necro and go for Translocations and summonings instead..

Alright. Usually I don't feel attached enough to my characters to post them until I clear the first four floors of Elf. However this lucky bastard has been somewhat blessed, so I figure I'll brag about him/ask for advice now. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.8.0-a0-5941-g5831c72 character file. Dr...

I had a character this morning find 4 enchant weapon scrolls and 6 Steel Javalins on the first three floors. They helped big time with the gnoll fortress vault on d4. I would have likely had a decent run with that character; but I kind of paniced when a God-damn Yacktaur Captain showed up waaaaaaaaa...

I was zerk when it appeared and sanwiched me in. Nothing I could do until I calmed down. I popped the tele scroll the first turn I could. My mistake was trying to heal until it kicked in as opposed to changing rings for some rCold, although I was at such low health it most likely didn't matter. I gu...

Eh. He died. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.8.0-a0-5639-g69987a2 character file. 421117 Sespool the Eviscerator (level 27, -33/184 (185) HPs) Began as a Kobold Hunter on Mar 12, 2011. Was a High Priest of Trog. Annihilated by a golden dragon simulacrum (88 damage) ... summoned by a curse toe ......

Yeah. I consider a tormentor a hairy situation. I don't want to melee it myself due to bezerkitus, and I don't want to run from it and let it torment the everloving crap out of me in the process. Hence the troll. Still haven't made a move yet. I have a mutation curing potion stashed away, so once I ...

Sorry to double post, but I just got myself into an interesting situation. I got the silver rune, bring my total up to three and making this my best legitimate character to date. I entered Zot ready to clear the first four floors and at least get a glimpse of the 5th floor. On Zot 1 however I stumbl...

Oops. Skill is already maxed out. I'll sure as hell keep Minmay's link in mind for future characters. I've cleared the main dungeon and blade now, and am working on the vault 8 welcome party. Not sure if I want to go for the rune their, or if I should grab a bunch of food and tele wands to explore t...

Well, right now he has the two runes. I did snake first because I'm familiar with the layout of the endvault. Just lured the naga into a corridor and cut down rows of them with my bolts of penetration. I could also go toe to toe with anything in the pits in melee combat, however I'd have to 'zerk or...

I love playing kobolds alot. After hearing that they now start with Crossbows as hunters I decided to roll one up. It took me a few tries to clear the first couple floors, but eventualy I got past my collection of old ghosts and found the temple. Having not found a spell book I was intrested in I de...

Another thing: Transmuter should be a recommended background for ogres. It's a lot easier than wizard, that's for sure. What god goes good with this build? I've been playing a few Ogre Transmuters in 0.72 lately and using Kiku to some degree of success. I've had a hard time choosing between pain br...

Is it just me or dose it seem a bit weird that Vamperic Weapons prevent you from equipping them when they can kill you, while distortion weapons don't even offer the slightest warning until it is too late? 'Course distortion weapons don't cause instant death like vamp can, but it sure as hell can fe...

I used to play Ogre a lot, even got a rune with one once. Then I found out that everything they do is done better by some other build. I guess I had some expectations after constantly having my mages squashed early-game by their NPC counterparts. Ogre's Could be made better by improving their signat...

I didn't know Nik was that bad. I knew he could zap me hard, but I figured he'd lose to meph cloud like every other human unique. I'm actualy 2-1 against Mara, but both those wins consisted of me leading 15-20 large abominations to him, running, and waiting for the you feel more experienced message....

I've been playing crawl on and off for about two years now. I've had some success getting runes in the past, but recently I have developed a troubling problem. I cannot bring myself to run from an unique. I've lost my last couple decent characters this way, but this particular incident has me extra ...

Guess I might as well introduce myself. I've been playing crawl on and off since may 09. My best character had two runes: Snake and Abyss. Only other games I play that are even close to rougelikes are Dwarf Fortress and Elona. Uh, it does . DF needs more than tiles - it needs comprehensive interface...
