No, draining no longer reduces the xp gained from monsters (and it was basically insignificant back when it did). Between mephitic and blink, definitely get blink. Mephitic will be looking a little outsized at this point, and anything you could take care of with mephitic, you could also pulverize wi...

IMO, a little bit of Necromancy is worth the investment for pretty much any character that isn't prohibited by religion from using it -- though fire mages and Qazlal worshippers will tend to incinerate enough of their pets to make them consider sticking to regen. I think battlesphere can actually wo...

Congrats! DECj of Sif was also my first 15-rune win (which just so happened to be my first win, period). Sounds like it was a blast!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! It seems to serve a valid, if slightly niche purpose. The rationale given was that it's so niche as to be practically unusable until you encounter a Zig or Tomb:3 or something, and then it totally breaks the game. How sad! I think it's a wonderfully useful spell for niche/utility cast...

Yes, despite the uncanny and sometimes frustrating appearance of streaks, all draconian colors have equal probability, and the choice is totally random, predetermined at the moment of character selection.

I think a demon whip is 12 skill for min delay? and 6 short blades wouldn't be min delay on a dagger, you'd need 10. I assume the knife is now a dagger, even though it retained the knife name - I could be wrong. I imagine you weren't meleeing too much so it didn't matter, but I probably would have ...

Hey guys, I'm here to ramble about my PC that nobody but me really cares about :D . Hope it might be interesting. This bad boy got just about my favorite set of demonspawn mutes possible: guardian, nighstalker, repulsion field, and some nice torment resistance to round it out in the endgame. Killing...

If it's cursed and it doesn't autoID, it's hunger (or, more rarely and later in the game, negative slaying) Not all cursed un-ID'd rings are hunger... I stand corrected. If the wiki is correct, all rings have a 2% chance of being cursed, so I guess it's possible you should continue wearing cursed r...

- Is Ring of Fire as awesome as it sounds? I'm going to offer a counterpoint strongly in favor of ring of fire. It has tremendous destructive power and great synergy with spriggans because their extra speed allows them to lay down more fire clouds per game turn then slower characters, and spriggans...

I use ID all jewellery if I have scrolls of remove curse, which are usually plentiful. If it doesn't auto-ID, I take it off until I find more scrolls. Wands I use-ID on rats and kobolds. You should always wear unIDed rings around, and I'd suggest that you should almost always wear your unIDed amule...

OTR is utterly terrible and slouch isn't that great either (in addition to not atually being magical). Besides, you should almost never be surrounded by monsters on all sides; if you're handling things well, Fireball should pretty much be nuking everything in sight (and Fire Storm definitely qualif...

The clouds book you have is potentially very useful, particularly meph and poisonous cloud, since as a vampire you'll be immune to their effects as long as you're Thirsty, and so will your horde (though it looks like you are running this guy less as an undead wrangler and more as a drainer/fighter h...

Zot Defence may be buggy as hell, but it sure is fun! This is my first official ZD win, though an earlier character might have won if the map clearing bug hadn't deleted a rune. Interestingly, neither of these guys had what I would consider good Ds mutations for ZD. An earlier character picked up tw...

As mentioned in the title, this is my first ever win at Crawl. I have been killed on Zot:5 a couple of times, and have never ventured into Pan or the Hells before. When I get a powerful character going, I hate to see them go, including by ascending, so I just kept holding out for one more rune, one ...
