Eating berries is pain in the arse. I want option to eat whole bunch at one. (maybe pressing E with berries makes you eat 10, or untill you run out)

So basically now you should have already identified your blasting wand before you run into jellies, to not get your equipment corroded, and if you see jelly and aren't close to stairs you should start blasting right away.

I guess you misunderstood my idea. Idea was that creating water tiles is trivial matter. First you use ability which creates few water tiles around you and on top of you. (maybe better idea would be give a first level water spell which creates 1 tile of water but doesn't require water) Every other s...

Anyway I think you should require water to be able to cast your water spell. Either on target square or square you are standing on (some times both) You should have ablity to invoke rain which cost some piety but creates water around you so you can start using your spells. Examples of spells: Water ...

I'm learning more and more monster who can banish you into the **** abyss.

I have to say that i'm all in for giving this vorpalize weapon a warning. I'm gong down the lair with my skald unbranded skimitar vorpalize weapon and BOOM i've got slicing scimitar. If you have brand spells and it's important that your unbranded weapon doesn't becomes something that you can't use y...

Blade hands get more damage increase from strength than most weapon attacks.

How i understood it, it basically if there is crosstraining happening with your skills, and if you have it lowers the XP new skill get to your new skill.

So if I understood it correctly when you start untraining skill which gets crosstraining bonus you basically get 50% less skill points to your new skill, no matter the order you put skillpoints into that skill.

Actually way originally thought it would work was a bit silly XD

Oozader was better name

I'm all for this just because of the name if that is the name. Otherwise I couldn't care less. (probably bad background to start with anyway.)

I did some wizard mode testing. First i gave myself skill points with s to short blades. Then to long blades. Picked up ashenzari and started training Crosstraning away from short blades didn't decreases skill points in longblades. Though I'm not sure if it transferred same amount of xp as it would ...

I was exploring new territory and the bug appeared right behind me! My guess it was coded trap cause it was only corridor in otherwise open level. (it also was last place i explored on that level.) See http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Monster_generation for explanation Hmm... I was sure Sure it was trap...

you don't gain xp by crosstraining and then transferring this is specifically protected against in the code Interesting. Once I first trained short blades to 6. Then i trained long blades to 14 (with Ashenzari the actual skill was higher ofc) I have done this plenty of times and i don't actually ev...

I'm wondering if it's possible to abuse ashenzari skill change by crosstraining. I noticed that if i start with short blades and later switch to long blades I think i get all the XP i spent in short blades back! This allowes me to multiply my xp gain if i first train short blades. Then i train longb...

We could develop extended extended end game which would gradually get harded and harder so hard that it would be basically impossible to beat it. And if somebody beat it they could add some even harder stuff. Some games have unlimited dungeon levels so it is impossible to win the game and players c...

After reading lich's stats i think i should have won it :/ Probably should have just went berserk as soon as i saw it . (it came from around corner.)

Well everything went relatively well till i got banished in abyss and met a lich. Bah i feel bad for dying with such a nice item drops.

Any tips and trick surviving and escaping in abyss?

Well i have shield of reflection +1 (also shield of resist fire +2, but using relfection) Shield skill 12,5. long blades 14, Troll armor of cold resistance. Lot's of wands and potions. Anyway i found 2 dire elephants and a dire troll and decided that no need to risk it, i'll come back later.

i also have life force steal

I just ran into dire elephant i wonder if i can win it by berserking, or if i should just run.

So I just found vampric demonblade. Is this weapon i'll probably be using till end of the game? or is vampiric inferior brand later in the game. I'm again playing demonspawn skald so i get bit extra damage from wielding demonblade. I'm just wondering how good brand vampiric. Should i pour all my wea...

Crawl really likes to fuck with you. Promising start, but I go into a long corridor (which turns out to be a dead end, and bolder beetle appears behind me). Always start identifying scrolls when you have enough of them! Always retreat toward known territory. Yes, sometimes it is impossible because ...

I've generally trained wands to 10 - 16 (by the time I finish lair) to help deal with unique and other though situations, while wands 10 seem quite helpful pre-lair and lair wands 16 don't actually seem to help me with anything, Every unqiue easily resists every wands i throw at them :( By time I re...

On another topic, this is a good example of what a proper 'average' randart should be. It's a +7 chainmail, which isn't bad at all (quite good actually) - but it comes at the price of -5 slaying damage. Which makes for situations that require a bit of thought. Instead of like, you know - the -6 cur...

If you can't reliably penetrate enemy armor fights are gonna last very random amount of time.

What about not giving it cleave, but make it hit monster in front of you and one behind that (but not cleave)

Another DSsk going... This time I have been relatively unblessed in item department, but my mutations have carried me throug. I'm have tier 3 Life steal and spikes + tier 2 Black scales, and I'm augmented by High health. (Nice combo btw. Stuff kills itself around me and if stuff dies i get health, i...

Need to chop my food.

Hmm :/ I'm having somewhat promising start with my another demonspawn skald. I'm starting to radiate miasma. I really like Ashenzari on this build and weapon skill boost in early game is huge. I wonder if i should just go polearm and poke people form distance who are too afraid of my smell :/ On oth...

Ì think the idea is to give the a small buff to make them less of an. I'm good at nothing class. I think the free allocation of attributes or more attributes might be nice. I guess having 2 skills +4 and one -4, might require as much training to get to level x as would a guy with 0 aptitudes on each...

Is there a list of dungeon level which lists all levels in increasing level of unique spawns

Didn't really think about how this combines with blink... uncontrolled blink suddenly becomes controlled enough. Anyway how would this be THE most over powered spell. Monsters would still walk past it quite quickly :/ I guess it would force any ranged enemy to melee you. I'll try some draconian next...

Yap. Didn't die for that. Died later for meeting 2 uniques at elf halls 2... tp out with very low health but got fireballed to death.

So... the lessons of the story is to avoid elf, i'll keep that in mind. Going down spawn harder and harder uniques. Is level(of the unique) standard for each dungeon or branch level. For example: elf 2 will have same chance of deadly uniques no matter the order i clear or visit the dungeon or my cha...

Ya I agree. Lava orcs shouldn't be orcs, or they need some serious down sides. Actually looking them on wiki page i feel like they are too strong compared to other classes. I feel that their aptitudes are far too good for race with such good abilities.

Mephitic Cloud is a Level 3 Air/Poison/Conjuration spell. I'm not sure why you would rather want to cast level 5 Smoke screen.

Anyway interesting idea might be to give Merfolk this as breath ability. 1x1 or 3x3 steam cloud which is projectile targeted breath attack. Just an wild idea.

Plan was to change it to a shield eventually, but i felt that putting enough points in shield skill to wield medium shield without penalty would be waste. I couldn't enchant my armor cause it was a randart, and gloves and clock were bit meh, since they didn't have any special property. (i hoped i'd ...

:D true, probably single greatest cause of death after dungeon 1-5. Anyway today led me to another realization: You shouLd decide your weapon type based on your tier 2 mutation! Spears is probably the best choice as you can have demon trident and if you get rot you can poke enemies who are too afrai...

Hubris kills. No matter how good items you got nothing can help you if you don't make correct strategical choices.

I have +4 +4 scimitar of flaming, and i'm pretty happy with it. I'm not gonna use great sword 'cause i got such nice buckler. Gives me 15SH which gotta be worth something (even enchanted since i was having trouble wtih 9-11 cyclops and some elites. (haven't found single potion of might, and used my ...

Ya, shroud, reg and haste ftw. I should still probably train my melee skill to minimum delay, correct?

So i've been crawling around early dungeon with this demonspawn skald. (few days ago i got almsot every character to dungeon 7-11, but today almost every one dies to ogres or gnolls in dungeon 1-3, or just by some adder or hobgoblin) Then i'm doing this again and dungeon first gifts me with buckler ...

I always get destroyed as melee xom follower when he gives inner fire buff to a adder i'm about to kill, (or at least forces me out of potions of curing, living me vulnerable to poision and confusion later in the game) If orc mage or priest gets inner fire there is very little i can do. I try to use...

What very scroll was stored in fire proof scroll book, and potions in cold proof container. When you read a scroll there is certain chance that scroll you use catches of fire and chance that some of your unused scrolls catch on fire. (or maybe chance of scroll you read gets destroyed is really small...

Quaterstaff of chaos might be nice weapon for 99% of the time, but you shouldn't use it cause berserking ork with electrocution brand can be quite deadly.

So When i roll a demonspawn and get nightstalker mutation. I'd really love to use demon blade, but short blades get much higher stabbing damage. So i'm wondering how big difference there is in stabbing damage between demon blade and quick blade. with relatively high skill (16-20). Since even with sh...

I meant it as ultimate get out of terrible situation spell. If you use it too often or xom is bored when you use it. (or actually shittiness of situation / xom's boredom ratio is bad) you will get to a bad situation. But if xom isn't bored and you really need to use that spell, you will get somethin...

Isn't heavier armor generally better than higher dex... -> strength is strong than dex unless you want to be stealthy, or don't want to wear very heavy armor (is there anyother reasons to not wear heavy armor than if you want to cast or go stealthy).

What about invoke random usefulness. This might give you shield of butterflies, teleport you around a bit, give you berserker rage, make enemies fight among themselves. Summon some chaos monsters to fight for you. Usefulness depends on in how big danger you are and how amused xom is with you. If you...
