I'd like it too as I stated in other discussions. Playing with an "angelspawn" would be nice. There's a conceptual problem though: the three good gods stick together and Zin hates mutations.

Uhm, have you tried brother in arms? I like TSO's angels which are great. Unfortunately I often had problems with TrBe to reach high XL (and thus high piety) so I can't compare BiA to the angels. I often hear BiA are strong but I still don't know for myself. Another thing is that I'm not sure if Tr...

However, where are the Scoring tables now?? There is not much point playing hours long a roguelike online if there isn't anymore a fast way to compare your performances to the other players isn't it? CAO is down for a while, it will restart in "september" which may be tomorrow as well as ...

I *finally* got 15 runes with a Demonspawn. Congrats! Both of us still like demonspawns, actually I have ( Edit: recently I had ) a DsGl who cleared the lair. I don't know why it took me so long to realize that a DsBe would be much easier than a DsFi. I'm not sure about this. Advantages Oka: gifts ...

For a Demonspawn, demonic weapons add a random number between 0 and 2 to the damage at the end of the damage calculation (but before the speed brand or stabbing is calculated). (0.10.3) The related question is the general decision whether to fight with or without shield, which has been discussed in...

Stair-dancing hordes of mummies were certainly no fun, and it had really a detrimental effect on my nerves. Tomb is hard, and so nearly everybody plays with full concentration all the time. That's why there are few YASDs in tomb! Any advice on my next destination? It's either going to be Slime or P...

Wiki says that "demonspawn are more deadly with" demon whips and other demonic weapons. What is "more deadly"?

It could be +2 to-dam or something, does anybody know what it is exactly?

- is condensation shield worth it I don't think so. - how high invo is useful with TSO? I usually go for invoc near maximum with TSO. Your divine shield and - more important - the power of cleansing flame depend on your invoc. - Is dodging completly worhtless, or you can train it later when there's...

Thanks to Napkin - *finally* CDO webtiles is running again :-) I killed my old DsCK (fun reasons only), re-started with DsFi, and when obtaining very early claws mutation I dropped M&F and shields and went for UC. Nice game, very early cloak of preservation for ~ 30 gold, even survived Abyssal A...

There's only a 'thanks' button and no 'thanks Napkin' button. Well, thanks at Napkin for restarting webtiles on CDO.

Imo it doesn't matter too much if it's 0.10 or 0.11. Just webtiles!

And I still enjoy playing with demonspawns - next XL, next event.

Me too.

Ds is pretty weak early game because of a combination of the -1 apts and (this is more important, and I suspect you don't even think about it) the 150 xp apt, plus you don't have anything to make up for it at xl1 After lots of games with Ds fighter types I know this is true... As I prefer fighter t...

When will CDO webtiles run again?

Then what would you suggest? I'm thinking of first worshiping Okawaru and then converting to TSO to clear hell, pandemonium and Crypt. Would that be enough for 15-rune run? The combo Oka -> TSO is the most popular choice for a fighter. There are two reasons for this: 1) Oka is the best fighter god ...

What should I do? After getting my lv 24 character killed in Elven Halls, I really don't want to go there, There was an interesting discussion about when to do Elven Halls (and whether to do it at all): "When should I head for Elven halls?" Edit: Hey, this was your post! So you know it of...

Look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal

F10.3 alcohol withdrawal syndrome
F11.3 opioids, including methadone withdrawal

F17.3 nicotine withdrawal

What about adding F18.3 webtiles withdrawal?

It's interesting that the question "When should I head for Elven halls?" lead to the related question "Should I do Elven halls at all?" . If you go for a high score or some minimum of turn counts you will be concerned with this question. In one of my last games, in which I wanted...

Now I know that
- both AC and EV will be checked usually,
- the game instrinsic of them is different,
- it's sufficient to lay the emphasis on one of them but
- it's useful anyway to consider both.

Thanks for the answer!

Enough to say that I'd never explored the Abyss and I'm kind of lost. Abyss is survivable at XL 17, there were lower chars which have escaped. It depends on luck (which foes will appear, how long it'll take until you find a gate) as well as on your playstyle and your coolness. Most important: don't...

Hi all, Webtiles on CDO is down due to heat problems ( > 30° C in Germany), and CSZO is slow when played from central Europe, so I'd like to ask a general question about the combination of AC and EV. In older versions of crawl, before stone soup started, I thought that you could either go for AC or ...

No.
Try not.
Do - or do not.
There is no try.

Yes, that is what I missed.

As webtiles on CDO is down for some reason you'll have to be patient. Good luck when it's running again!

Unfortunately, you can't zap a wand or quaff a potion if already berserking. If he already noticed you it doesn't look nice. Edit: you have demonic guardian 1. You can hope that (some?) demons will keep him away from attacking you, so I think running for the stairs may be your best choice. Immediate...

Thanks at KoboldLord and mikee for your ideas. I used to play three types of characters: 1) Casting types (HE or DE) with the usual -> poison arrow -> firestorm -> necromutation 2) Heavy armoured fighters (MD, Tr, Mi, Ds), usually with Okawaru -> TSO 3) My beloved OpTm, which start very weak but bec...

I wasn't in good mood when my demonspawn monk encountered asmodeus in Geh:7. I played unarmed, having a stl/dex/ev-fighter, wearing a +5 steam dragon armour, and I fought without a shield for having an additional punch attack. In the game I found surprisingly few healing potions, no healing wand, go...

What's your username? Edit: Nevermind, found it (I'm assuming it's also Turgon). What options exactly do you want to change? Yes, it's also Turgon. Just for trying if it works I had changed the options "show_gold_turns" and "show_game_turns" some months ago, which will allow you...

When I play DCSS 0.10 offline I've got no problems to configure the .rc-file and it works fine. However, when playing online (tiles.crawl.develz.org) I never managed this.

IMHO OpTm isn't a very good combo. Its not terrible, but the whole "lets walk up to it and punch it" type dealio doesn't sit well with Op's defenses. Once you got statue form your defense is great, you get a huge bonus to HP and AC, as well as 40% GDR (!) and very nice resistances. Now yo...

Has anyone made it with an OpTm on the 0.10.3 build and does anyone have any general advice about Octopodes or Transmuters? Thanks! Hi dadoka, Today I saw your entry and would like to say a few things about OpTm. As pubby said I won two 15-runers in 0.10.2, not mentioning I played 67 games to do th...
