Holy fuck, I just got a [Wiz, +10 Str, +3 Slay] ring on the floor I escaped to.

What a find!

I went down to 40 HP after running out of lich form on a floor swarmed with silent spectres. After going through every single escape card I had left, it came down to only 1 card remaining: Exile. And what do yuh know, it worked! I got banished to the abyss and survived. After refueling and IDing my ...

I like the way you formatted the OP. It seemed kind of weird at first but it actually makes reading it a lot easier considering english is probably not your first language. As for the topic, I agree PBD is insane, its arguably the best mutation in the game. Maxed out PBD regenerates like 11 HP per t...

powered by death is crazy too, at max regen(one cast of Glaciate normally) causes me to regen 13 HP per túr . Qazlal is for pan lords, destruction area can be cast almost indefinitely on those floors and is the best damage dealing spell on the market vs them since almost every pan lord is immune on ...

I haven't played uskaya yet, but from what I've seen it just sounds like he is a great concept with poor implementation. For an idea as unique as uskaya though, I'm not surprised in the slightest that it has a number of significant problems, and I give props to the dev team for being patient with pe...

I love this app for the iphone called 100 rogues. It was my introduction to this genre of games. It's probably the best mobile rogue-like I've seen. I also played cardinal quests 1 and 2 but once again those are apps and are kinda meh but their free. I started looking for more complex rogues and tr...

In regards to all the iceblast complaints:

***...: Hep will protect you and your ancestor from friendly fire.

Sounds like a good solution to some of the issues.

I think that only translates to 19-40 rather than 0-40

Don't quote me on this I could totally be wrong, thats just my understand.

Its reasons like this that I made the thread dedicating shout outs to new guys.

I think glowing could be more interesting. Its got potential to be something interesting, the design space is there, but I agree that if its not being tapped(and there is no plan to tap it) then it should be removed.

Aiming at: an orc, wielding a war axe and wearing a shiny scale mail.

Why do you want to fix stone of tremors? What does the game gain from having that item in it? Removing stone of tremors is a great change, I only hope that the rest of the XP evokers follow suit. I agree stone of tremors needed to be removed(or fixed, preferably removed). I do like the other XP evo...

If only there was an easy solution that would solve that problem and many more while simultaneously reducing the tediousness of each game.

Ru in my experience has lead to the least amount of change in gameplay for all the characters I've used him with. Which is ironic considering he is the god of 'sacrifice'.

Maybe I just don't Ru right though.

if you show the correct chance to hit, you are leaking info, whether or not there has been an attempt to hit the monster. If the orc was wearing a ring of evasion, you should be able to infer the exact EV bonus/malus on that ring, by looking at the chance to hit. You mean the ADJUSTED hit? Calling ...

Does umbra cause a reduction of accuracy when something IN an umbra targets something NOT IN an umbra (y/n)? Does umbra cause a reduction of accuracy when something NOT IN an umbra targets something IN an umbra (y/n)? Its amazing how many things can go unanswered in a game as complicated as DCSS.

The number of people willing to write entire novellas worth of bad advice still amazes me. Like, when people win a few times do they suddenly start thinking they aren't terrible at the game? Giving advice on CrawlWiki needs to be officially and indefinitely banned and purged, unless they are going ...

It answers the question if you are capable of inference. Showing to-hit chance against one of those monsters leaks information about their otherwise unknown EV. Unless you deliberately show the wrong to-hit chance, which is stupid. (Then again, it's already done for MR if I recall correctly...) It ...

Eresh is strong vs. one-handers? Weird, you'd think they benefit from better accuracy seeing as her thing is ridiculous EV. I assume the idea is that you do less damage, which gives her more chances to use major healing. Dunno how true that is in practice. He can just swap to an exec axe when fight...

I thought rhe same thing, but maybe her attacks are somehow more effective against shield wielders.

Oh my god yes

Also, side note, why is bolt of fire, a higher level bolt spell, less likely to hit then venom bolt!?

That is so unintuitive it hurts. it's reasonable like that that something like this is necessary.

You can reach upwards of 127,000 damage in a single turn using lernaean hydra simulacrum. But realistically any damage over 500 isn't noticeable against any enemy but lucky unique hell/pan lords. You can reach huge numbers with dragonform or statue form too, but that is certainly a feat to be proud ...

Has the game gotten easier or do I just suck at dungeon crawl? It took me several months to get my first win in dungeon crawl. Maybe I just got bad advice. You are a hill orc, and zin convertion should be easy for you. Personally if I were you, I would swap over to zin for his hell effects protectio...

Octopodes make good lets plays, lots of newer players don't know how to handle them so its fun to watch someone be successful. Demonspawn is very fun because metations for lets plays. Don't play a fast race, kiting is kind of boring to watch sometimes. Nemelex is also a pretty enjoyable god to watch...

Every penny counts!

Donate exactly 1 cent to the devs for each gold you have at the end of the game(ending the game with 0 gold disqualifies you from this challenge).

Two questions:

Are wands effected at all by having other wands previously identified. ie, does having more wands already ID'ed increase the chance of getting heal wounds/haste?

Also, if not, than what is the exact chance of acquiring heal wounds or haste from Acquiring Wand?

52 Card Pickup:

Complete the game with 52 decks in your inventory.

The first game I ever used fedhas was the first game I ever won. Do not under-estimate him, he is an extremely powerful god(I find trog to be slightly more impressive though, generally speaking). Also, if your a newer player then choosing venom mage is probably your best bet for nagas. Mephetic clou...

wand is a far better option than armour, which will just give you 1 AC I always used to doubt this, but once I started entertaining this idea I realized how right it actually is. Think of it this way, getting a wand of heal wound or a wand of hasting essentially turns EACH scroll of charging into 2...

What could you possibly learn about life from a moreless anonymous image board?

Gods using evocations for powers is pretty much unacceptable in current crawl since evocations are already too powerful. It probably shouldn't happen anyway, considering there is a skill that is designed for gods to use instead. If Nemelex never used decks in the first place he would never have had...

So there are a couple things here. First, since god choice is actually usually not something a player chooses based just on strength, it's okay if a god isn't great or encourages things that would otherwise not be good ideas. See also: chei, possibly qaz. It's a lot more like choosing a race or bac...

Is there going to be a joke about the name "Jellyshot" and booze? Because I really hope there will be.

nemelex is based around cards, which have around 120 different effects a player needs to be aware of to make informed use of them, and none of those effects are actually especially interesting. getting rid of decks in inventory would take some of the poop out of the poop sandwich, but it would rema...

Tavern has been hot as fuck the last couple days. Great discussions, lots of laughs, duvessa getting sand in her elven cheeks, the works.

no the reason is that everything about nemelex is terrible and stupid Get the sand out of your crack and actually explain yourself. I've seen you say this many times but I've never seen or understood your reasoning. The only thing wrong with nemelex atm is inventory clutter, and thats not hard to f...

The god closest to removal yet was Nemelex. how typical, the most fun god in the game was also the closest to being removed I think most people agree that he is fun, but I get the feeling the reason has more to do with coding and updating him each version. If you look at the version history on the ...

Great idea, should be moved to GDD tbh fam.

That post from Lasty seems very confusing to me. Right now felid is way too close to octopode (or possibly spriggan, I guess); the way to differentiate them is to make felid be able to use fewer items, not more items. This is why I never understood and never will understand why felids were changed ...

I guess you could say pak is sort of like being a caster with a variety of spells. Most of the 'casters' I play tend to have a lot of different kinds of spells, like for example I always learn blink and RMsl the moment I find them when I can, and depending on my intelligence and natural defensesI mi...

This sounds exceptionally hard to code, especially since you need to figure out how to deal with autoexplore and you probably also have to figure out how to deal with players who have animations turned off. I was thinking it might be hard to code too, but I never thought about the autoexplore thing...

We (Russian community) have a person who brought a concept of a new mutation. 1st, 2nd and 3rd levels of this mutation will decrease the range of your sight by 1, 2 and 3 tiles respectively while the monster's los remains the same.

Who needs intelligent design when you have game design?

Wands are just spells that you can use without a lot of skill investment, but the downside is that they are in limited supply. If I wanted to play using wands, I would just play a spellcaster. Well, the two sets don't *exactly* overlap, they're pretty similar, but they certainly aren't exactly the ...
