It's because you have the potential to be the absolute top predator and they want to kill you preemptively to keep the natural order.

Is it theoretically possible to get ALL resists at the same time? I think that it's impossible to do so unless there was a race that could wear more than one amulet. rMut and rCorr take up the same spot. I think it would be pretty easy to fill all the elemental resistances, though, if you Necromuta...

It's not a bad brand, but most of time there are better ones. Just don't use it on quick weapons. It's really going to hamper the development of your character by sapping away your EXP.

I challenge you to a Yu-Gi-Oh duel!

OK, not really :geek:

Maybe we could make them were-yaks? :lol:

I broke my vow solely to start a NaMo with that name. Not actually playing him, though, but whatever

I actually have to go without Crawl for more or less the whole month. It's NaNoWriMo and I can't get distracted while writing my novel :geek: -can't get distracted- -said on a forum unrelated to NaNoWriMo- You may have already failed. :wink: I can see that you've detected the subtle irony in the si...

^ Actually, that weapon is nothing compared to unarmed. Vampiricism is a meh brand, sabres are pretty lame, MR is not terribly helpful, and rN is possibly the least useful resistance (and is not that hard to get in the first place). On the other hand, unarmed is absolutely sick at high levels becaus...

When I read the title I imagined a toddler in a Sigmund costume holding a toy scythe.

... I will pay good money to see someone dress up their kid like that.

If you're playing in trunk, you don't need or want distortion anymore. Leaving the Abyss now just sends you back to Pan, however exits are more common.

There's really nothing special you can do, but acquirement is weighted to fill empty slots so you'll probably get one sooner or later.

...I think I just had a crawl-gasm.

There were a few metal walls and the shield was sitting in the center. That's literally all the vault was. There were no neqoxecs guarding it or anything crazy like that, it was just sitting unguarded in the center of a couple of metal walls.

You could use the same format as Dudley's Dungeon (or whatever it was called), and do the whole thing in ASCII.

Oh, oops. My apologies then :oops:

It appears that targeting paths don't show up in the latest tiles trunk build, and then when targeting is canceled the path is shown (with an extra line leading to where the cursor happens to be at the moment). This is an extremely annoying bug (or at least I hope it's a bug). I have some pictures b...

You need Ignite Poison for IEDs.

Don't forget, "almost getting him" is functionally equivalent to "not getting him at all". It was still probably worth fleeing, no point leaving it to luck. (If only I could practice what I preach

)

^ Mmm, I'm not so sure about that. If he could kill you with Iron Shot at long range, there's a good chance he could have done the same at short range. You might have had more luck, say, blinking away and reading a scroll of fog, and then skipping the level. No shame in running away without gunning ...

It seems that vanilla humanoids are extremely under-represented in terms of summons, only occasionally coming from Shadow Creatures, and that there aren't many level 6 Summoning spells (the only one is Demonic Horde, one of several demon summoning spells). To add variety, I suggest the creation of t...

Problem: TwilightPheonix is probably correct. Solution: Use his solution instead.

Try a MuCj of Sif? You'll still be Conjurating but with a different element and a much different god. Haven't actually played one but they should be really good with those ice spells like Freezing Cloud.

Advice Zin!

Oh, THOSE cassettes... yeah, I have no clue

OK, fine, I'm a 14 year old whippersnapper. And I remember cassettes too. I still watched a couple up to 2007ish.

Oh, it is? I always thought it was a glaive. Sorry, then, use it without any regrets!

First of all, you definitely want INT. There's a good saying for when it comes to stats: when in doubt, raise INT. You probably don't want to whack things with the Wyrmbane for now, instead wield it as a statstick (a very good one at that). If I remember correctly it's a glaive and it takes an ungod...

^ I think that counts as a hostile action. You can just drag them over to neqoxecs or evaporate mutation potions, though.

BRILLIANT! We need much more of that :lol:

Anyways, here's my attempt at something similar:

Well, there are two possible solutions: 1) Play extremely carefully and use all of the resources at your disposal. Learn all you can about unfamiliar subjects through either this forum or the LearnDB (especially the LearnDB). Take the game slowly and don't ever become overconfident. Eventually, if y...

^ My first gift for my KoBe win was an anti-magic demon whip very early in the game. I used that weapon for the rest of the game.

(Of course, he didn't give any others over the rest of the game, but you only need that first one

)

Maurice has a cloak of preservation.

Delicious. Absolutely delicious.

^ Wouldn't it be better to keep the names consistent instead?

We could also use the following:

-1 Purgy Leather Armour {Regen, -2 STR, +2 DEX, +3 EV}
base AC: 4
EV penalty: -1
This is an artefact.

Make them enchantable into randart designer troll leather armors? Might be a bit spoilerish, but it could be put into their descriptions or something.

Why would you want an offline version of the wiki? It is really, really awful. At first, people love using it because of it's familiar format but so much of the info is bad/outdated that it's really not worth using. My suggestion: simply copy and paste right out of the LearnDB , minus some of the mo...

^ I counter with the following: never play the stable version, because the game is so mind-numbingly static.

^ But if you can, why not? It just removes so much risk from the equation. Admittedly I only have one win to go by, but I still firmly believe that clearing Zot is extremely helpful. I suppose not clearing it might work better for casters, though, since they have better escape options and can take o...

Talk:Abyssal Stair This page is very sparse. Does this area actually exist, or is someone just trying to make people waste time in the abyss? Of course it's just a joke. If we actually had an active admin we could delete it... -Ion frigate 18:32, 23 August 2011 (UTC) Well, that's one more bad wiki ...

I'm pretty sure it would be a lot more complicated than making it a serial vault, it would be a whole branch, which I doubt any single person can code. Still, again, I really doubt that the Stair exists. The only thing changing my mind is a picture in tiles.

Definitely. Sure, each new update has a dozen features that frustrate me to no end, but then there's two dozen features that absolutely amaze me. For example, the new skill training system. Absolutely awesome . You guys definitely deserve more credit then you're given, but I suppose it's first natur...

Bleh, right, Gretell. Keep getting their names confused. Anyways, I looked around on the LearnDB more and there are still no references to the Abyssal Stair other than said entry and that of the hydrataur. EDIT: I asked on ##crawl and it seems that most of the people there say the Abyssal Stair does...

OK, these are my tips on Zot from my (recent) experience from my first victory as a KoBe: - Adjust your resistances. As they currently stand, they don't really do. You really should get rF++ (at minimum), rMut, and rElec, they'll save your hide a lot of times. They're not strictly necessary, but aga...
