duvessa wrote:LRD targeter was a million times better when it started on the nearest monster

Yes, because LRD deals direct damage using walls close to the monster, but that's not how CF works, so this targeting system doesn't really make sense here IMO.

Currently, when you cast Conjure Flame and there is a monster in range, the spell autotargets to the monster, although it is impossible to create a flame cloud directly on the monster. Also, this might be only my experience, but I usually want to place clouds close to me rather than next to the mons...

You missed the only two removals that actually mattered: Singularity and felid jump ability. Also I think both were only present in one version, so they really emphasize "short is the life of features". At least singularity was only in .16, felid jump was removed in .15 I think? It may ha...

If the item description says

then it's a randart. If it is a custom text, then it's an unrand.

I've been in danger several time because of paralyze, before dying of it (among other thing), as well as one of my friend What is the best way to preventing it now that stasis is gone ? Stacking RM stuff ? Or knowing each monster that can cast it and run :D ? (I feel that there are more than before...

It does not matter. You will have the same max HP no matter if you started training Fighting at XL 1 or 27. The same holds true for all other skills, there is no memory/history in crawl, just current skills matter. While this is true for the effect of current skill values at the point in game-time ...

Yes that was it. Before going down, I would cast buffs and lichform, (sometimes haste), channel it all back, go down cast tornado, activate Sif's channel and just Glaciate the hell out of everything. Then channel for a bit, rinse and repeat. It was my first Ziggurat, I was always too scared to try i...

Well that was a great experience, I trained for that long (edit: demon) sword, got Tornado and Glaciate, found the +10 large shield of Ignorance {rN+ Int-4} and eventually got it usable, then it was Necromutation. With this arsenal I waltzed into the extended game and killed all the monsters and gra...

Just a reminder : iirc trolls don't get any fumbling when they fight in shallow water because they are a large race (though the movement delay penalty does still apply)

the +7 demon blade of Cuumuzivy {elec, +Blink rPois Int+2 Stlth-} This is a very good demon blade, but what is amazing is where I found it. Come on try and guess ! Did you make a guess ?

Code:: the +3 pair of gloves of Fun and Games {Int+4 Dex+3}

So this was just lying on the Dungeon floor for my NaWz to take !

Sorry for misleading you with that guide then, I really believed it could help.

The aim of the walkthrough is not to give optimal play, it's to allow novice players to play (and win) a specific character (gargoyle nuker) and I think it achieves it pretty well. Following the advice in the guide almost to the letter did get me a 5-rune GrEE win and another GrEE (or GrWz, not sure...

Look at this one :
http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Majang%27s_Caster_Walk-Through
It's from 0.17 (almost up to date) and it's very exhaustive and complete, and I learned a lot with it. (it also helped me get my first win, which incidentally wasn't a GrEE)

Managed to reach Tier 1, but got no further. Snorg was waiting for meand I had to teleport away, which landed me next to a shock serpent :/

So in the current system you can keep track of how much HD each mushroom has remaining, and when it gets down to 1, you probably want to park it to save piety (or let it kill itself which isn't penalized, as Yermak said) and get a fresh mushroom. I find it beautiful that Fedhas encourages you to pl...

A quick question in the meanwhile: the tournament for the upcoming version is apparently going to start soon. How will that affect your willingness to play in the Casual League? Like, will you continue to do the weekly challenges, or focus on the tournament? I'd be interested in knowing how much in...

Here's a Tier 1! The Ice cave where I died was on Lair:1 and I managed to kill one of the ice dragons, but somehow my hexer ancestor repeatedly refused to hex the second dragon... So I died :/ Full dump : http://crawl.xtahua.com/crawl/morgue/Fingolfin/morgue-Fingolfin-20170520-115319.txt

I'd prefer a <more> prompt when the rune comes into view, but I'm not opposed to highlighting either. Stone Soup really doesn't need more default <more> prompts. You can already add one manually, if you would prefer this behavior, by adding this to your rcfile: force_more_message += rune of Zot May...

You would also probably need to rework torment too, because I would not like to get tormented for 500 hp

I'll give it a go this evening then. What god would you recommend? Instinctively, I'd go for Dith or Sif?

Well I tried to follow the advice, but I got repeatedly killed by a glaive of venom camping the upstairs to Orc :/ Thanks all anyway !

Of course not. Book of the Warp tho

Hi, I'm currently playing a FeBe for the first time, and it's going all right, cleared Lair and while in the Mines, I found a book of the Warp. Given Fe's absurd aptitude for Translocation and how incredibly useful those spells are (esp. CBlink, Dispersal and Disjunction), and seeing as I'm still ra...

You mean spells and mana ?

This could be a rcfile option

stickyfingers wrote: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.

You can't cast LRD when silenced

Roots monster spell temporarily removing flight : This is fine. But the flight needs to automatically restore itself when the roots spell ends. That would become completely useless, since there would be absolutely no difference between flying/not flying when not over water. If flying restores itsel...

Died to Mara on Vaults:3 :/ Thanks for all your advice though !

Personally, i mostly chop up corpses, eat chunks from the floor, and leave the rest there. Huh. I never thought of doing that. That's a good idea. What if 'c' weren't a thing at all? What if you 'e' standing over a corpse, and you get some nutrition and turn the corpse into a skeleton? It's not lik...

Haha ! Trog finally gifted me my +3 antimagic triple sword (also I will probably get high crossbow skill later on since I was given a sweet +9 triple crossbow of penetration)

Also, what would you think between : ⋅ the +6 great sword of Fimbulwinter {slice, +Blink MR+} ⋅ a +5 great sword of freezing ⋅ a +2 antimagic demon blade I like the demon blade since it would allow me to get shields going, and it would become a eudemon blade with TSO, b...

Are lower level spells like Passwall, Repel Missiles and Swiftness worth it? I'd say so, but only after your main combat skills are at healthy levels (mid-to-high teens). I think you probably misread the whole thing. This is a berserker, cannot learn spells yet, only after switching to TSO. I meant...

[You're a 4 Int minotaur. You've got bad aptitudes in both schools and you should wear heavy armor. Getting Statue Form castable under these conditions would require an insane amount of XP if it's possible at all; plus you don't even fight unarmed, so you'll miss out on one of the spell's main bene...

Thanks for the fast answer !

Worry about the rest when you get there.

Sounds good, maybe I'll get a good endgame sword in the meantime.

I was told to almost never train armour because it was worthless?

Blade wrote:sif to anyone is generally a bad idea, since sif wrath is really nasty unless you wait it out

Getting access to all those spells makes up for the wrath IMO.

Personnally I would find LRD and Fireball sufficient for Orc if you're careful enough near priests (smiting), and still for a bit of Dungeon. I'd focus on building up a bit of defences (fighting, dodging, buckler?) and when you feel less squishy, get moar power (Elf 1 and maybe 2 if you're confident...

Is the robe of folly unrand usable or is the Mr penalty that bad compared to the power boost?

Swastika is pretty different from that. It turns the opposite way, has equal width after the arms turn instead of thinning. Also the Nazi version, which is the reason you post I assume, is also resting on a point not flat. doesn't really look like a swastika at all op If that's the general opinion,...
