First guy died to an invisible horror like an idiot.

Second guy had +9 Vampiric Demon Trident by the time I entered Lair.
Died in hell with 7 runes after clearing out Zot 5.
Tier 3 if you are nice, Tier 2 if you are strict.

This weekly challenge thing seems cool, just started this.
Barely got me 20 EV just before finding the Lair.
I had 2 agility potions and heroism to cheat my way up to 20EV but im glad I didn't have too.
Now all I have to do is win. As long as I don't do nothing stupid that shouldn't be too hard.

Its been awhile and I bet no one here remembers me. Anyways I made a garbage title splash again. http://i.imgur.com/DISesPA.png You guys can use it if you want, I'll be throwing it in that title bin regardless. I've been thinking about updating the blood tiles too. While I have learned some coding s...

This isn't very contrucive but...
Whatever you do make sure your game has Dwarfs in it.

Its not trunk. If it was trunk it'd probably be something worse

What is a Hill Giant doing on DL5?
Who thought this would be funny?
Why did i choose to fight the Hill giant on DL5?
When will be getting Dwarfs back?

One of my favorite wins was with my punchy character, based on this wonderful guide. I'd preferably not like to use any magic, although abilities from gods/etc are fine. The easiest punchy build that doesn't use magic would be a Troll Berzerker. Start by turning off everything but UC. Never turn off...

I love the cursed ring of teleportation...

Deep Dwarfs are able to tank a great deal more damage before going down than a bloodless vampire, and they start with a wand of healing. These guys are good but I'm not sure why someone would compare them to a Vamp or mummy. Bloodless vamps also get a pretty big boost to stealth, a nonleathal foodcl...

2 and a half years ago, when I first found this game I read through all of the Race and class summaries before actually playing a single game. I remember really liking the idea of Transmuters. I'm not very good at the game as I only have 2 wins, but one of them was a NaMk of Chei. Played it like a T...

Player History My first win was with Bac the DEFE, with 5 runes. It was my second try with a DEFE, though the DEFE guide helped a great deal. Four Months Later, I managed to grab myself a Second win, with Kader the NaMk, 7 runes. Always plays with 8bit music playing in the BG, and while reading a g...

Monks are the same as Regular Melee fighters, they just use the mighty weapon known as the Fist. This deadly weapon is always the same, and always start with. It also has great damage potential, especially when backed with Transmutations. I dont know why you put 12 SL into maces, you might have gott...

Why isn't this locked yet?

Edit: I also don't really think i can really add anything to the removal of MD discussion other than i dont like it.

"Omndra's case shows it should be done, so add a clause to the relevant documentation that content, once accepted, is part of the package." Someone should probably go do that. "It also goes directly against one principle of Crawl development, the Soup in DCSS: participation of non-de...

I am fairly certain i can ask any question i want to.
Is it also Illegal to ask an individual what their favorite food is now?

Its not like I plan to take any legal actions against anyone.
I just dont want them to use my work anymore.

Hopefully the Devs here respect me enough to throw them out.
Oh wait, they dont.

EDIT: I'm Cool about this now, even though my opinion remains the same about the Dwarfs Original Message: *coughs* Hi. Umm this is a bit awkward for me. So i will try to keep it short. I do not agree or support the Idea that MD should be removed from DC:SS at all. I am aware that this topic has bee...

Alot of people want me to draw something with bladehands... On one hand I do like drawing blood. On the other hand, Bladehands don't glow... On the other, other hand I do like drawing blood On the other, other, other hand and i'd have to draw a person, and i am probably not the best choice for that....

If this collab goes well doing more would be fun, if that means i can avoid drawing the Humans

Roctavain i've seen a couple of your tiles and they are amazing! I know my style is nothing like Denzi's as i am pretty sure that he is using MSpaint for all of his stuff while i am using Gimp. and not all my stuff goes into the game either. However the beauty of the title splashes is that you dont ...

Hey its me again. I finally got done with Dark souls and Skyrim, also Crawl has been beating me up lately. That means I've been drawing alot more. I've already made a new title splash with a Firemage. So what should I do next? I think i'll draw up Sigmund while you guys decide on what else needs to ...

This is my first Vamp Summoner and he is pretty neat

I think I should branch out into Necromancy but all i have is a Necronomicon

That XL:20 Kobozerker Ghost who died on DL:7 after abandoning Trog in the temple, then ran from summons up the stairs and got Mauled there.

I think we need a new unique Quokka thats dressed up in a soccer uniform. lol

Welcome Schwa! I like your Blinking Archer Character build idea, but i've never really made a good ranger before. That idea sounds like it would work better on a Halfling. Slings are just as good as bows, and Halflings are amazing with them and translocations. And when you finally do make it into Zo...

If you've got a scroll of tele you can use that then go back up the stairs.
Or there could be a hidden door.

I used to listen to 8 Bit music from 8BC.org
But now I've found some great Ambient Horror soundtracks that freak me out and cause me to be extremely cautious.

I just smash two words together, or just use a longer word that stands for death or hopelessness. For Example: Bloodclaw, Ripfang, RipGuts. FaceMelt, KillStab, RageBlade, Oblivion, FistKick, DeadEye, RedTooth, FrostBite, TrollBlood, FaceKick, FaceRip, JellyPump, and CakeHat. You know stuff like that.

I'm playing a new Octopode named Cthulhu in the new trunk its pretty fun so far. However it seems like they are pretty much built to be mages and Melee isn't a good idea for them, so would bumping their Conj apt up to +1 be a good idea? This hasn't been my experience. They get pretty substantial bo...

It would be cool if Trog names just smashed two violent sounding words together like BloodGuts SmashKill FistKick Also i think it'd be funny and easier to code if both parts of the could be the same XD BloodBlood SmashSmash FistFist Good word ideas that work together would be ones like this: Blood K...

Whenever I get angry at Poison I just Roll out the NagaVM and start trolling Hobgoblins and Gnolls until Sigmund comes along and gives me the Banhammer...

You dont really need vampiric weapons, just go straight to the source and play a Vp Monk Assassin Enchanter
When Vampires successfully backstab they Regenerate a large portion of the Damage done

When in bat form you cannot drink potions.
Also if you become confused in bat form you cannot end your transformation.

Also That Mennas standing over there with the +5 +5 Holy Eudemon Blade can cast confuse and is faster than you when you are not in bat form.

Lief! Go Forth to the Elfish Halls. Kill E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G
Then Eat of your brethren until you can eat no longer! THEN EAT SOME MORE!!
MUA Ha ha haAeU e hheAaH aHaI ehaAI Ahaa AuhEA UhAe Uha hAeAu AHhuE AuH UHa aeEuE Aah HAAEAAaaaEee!!

(Also look around for a Freezing Cloud spell in there)

Vampires can be really awesome! They have the Best stealth in the game, also if you can pick up an invisibility ring with one you don't need to throw half your EXP onto making your vamp good at magic. (just hide behind a corner and spam it until you can get that thing to work) Also go with Makhleb a...

I didn't understand 80% of the proposal but it sounds like it sounds like it took a whole lot of work. Overall i really like it. However i'm a little bit against having the abyss change in difficulty depending on how far down you've gotten, but i'd be ok with that. Another thing i've been thinking a...

Yeah i was kindof thinking the same thing about the with the javelins, I'll go head and enchant them now.
Hopefully i can get my first win with this guy.

I've never been able to cast Tornado, and I am not certain what it does, so I cannot properly contribute to this conversation. I asked the Bot and received this: Awesome L9 air spell in 0.8. Surrounds you with a radius 5 tornado which follows your movement, and lifts you into the air (flight). Deal...

He is a Minotaur Fighter of Okawaru Here are his stats Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.8.0 character file. Bullore the Bludgeoner (Minotaur Fighter) Turns: 32483, Time: 03:43:57 HP 127/133 (135) AC 25 Str 30 Exp: 15/142218 (7345), need: 5481 MP 2/14 EV 14 Int 10 God: Okawaru [******] Gold 993 SH ...

Nope that was it.
Thank you, and yeah it probably would have an unpleasant visual effect overall

Without changing around how damage is placed out, how about making the damage resistible in some way?
The easiest way to do this would be to brand it with electricity.

if the spell doesn't have some sort of big change applied then its still going to be overpowered. Why? I think the damage over time is what makes it different from the other spells, I don't want to change it. Balanced properly, it can be the drawback of the spell instead of its advantage. So... Is ...

It could still be really unique and really good with what i had suggested, and if the spell doesn't have some sort of big change applied then its still going to be overpowered. However I do have some ideas on how it could still work without changing the mechanics, but ONLY if the most of the damage ...

@OP Whenever I make new tiles i put them up on Mantis and they are normally implemented a whole lot faster than using the forum. However the forum is a much better place to discuss things. Both of those tiles are pretty neat, but i just have one problem with the spider tile. His head looked like a g...

I don't know if this has already been suggested, but you could simply change the name of the spell to Microburst and have the damage effects of the spell come mostly just the initial cast. (say 80%-90% of the damage comes from the first turn if not all of it) It would still cover a very large area b...

Scrolls have magic in them right? I've always thought that was how they worked. Maybe they could eat those too and it is a little bit cannibalistic, but its not like cannibalism was off limits in crawl anyways. Plus Scrolls can stack. Also eating paper seems like it would be a whole lot easier than ...

When it comes to Pixel Art you need to Use either MSpaint or GIMP

If you decide to use gimp make sure to use the Pencil tool (N) and not the Brush tool (P) for Pixel art.
Also you should make sure that the eraser has been set to have a 'Hard' edge

No way he is going to be close to Cerebov.
I' ve got a good idea at how strong I want him to be.

I would like him to somewhere around Geryons strength.

I don't think this guy should be silenced anymore, as thats Mennas thing. When i posted that i didn't intend for it to come across as my monster should get a special message, thats just absurd. I am at a loss as to how to make this guy threatening to mainly Casters without him getting instantly Fire...

You know, I didn't like when there was so many counter productive ideas - but at least people was trying to add something to my idea. You, on the other hand, come here bashing my and other people's worthy ideas without decent reasoning and, which more annoying, without proposing something in return...
