I thought Chei was the default Tm god due to his stat boosts? Devolve should cost a tiny amount of piety, otherwise there is no reason not to constantly spam this until it lands if you know it can succeed. Stone to gold encourages tediously picking up every stone. It's also not clear if you get gold...

Trees also get increased HP, rN+++ and torment immunity.

It's intended.

Only if you have a tengu mercenary under your employ.

Back when TRJ didn't spill jellies on polymorph, a funny strategy for defeating it was reading one of these and blasting it 2-3 times with a wand of polymorph (at 18 Evo) to transform it into a titan or something. I think one person even used Step From Time and had TRJ kill itself on the slime walls...

I've used decks of summoning as a non-nem before if I'm already running decent Evo (e.g. from rods/elemental evokers.) If I have spare ID scrolls and nothing to identify I might spend some on ornate/legendary decks to see if they can fit into my build. Relatedly, drawing an entire deck of summoning ...

Does accuracy affect auxiliary attacks?

Fists have base damage 3 with no UC training, daggers have base damage 4. Tengus can try meleeing jackals, Talon 3 is 9 extra damage per attack, Pecks are 3 extra damage and offhand punches are 5 extra damage (jackals have max 8 HP.)

They can't run away and conjurers don't start with a melee weapon, so they can't fight them off until they pick up a dagger. Every race begins the game capable of casting "Fist", which has only 1 less base damage than a dagger (not counting mutations.) Tengus also have auxiliary attacks t...

Vitalization is good for mummy curses.

It is a magical sleeping spell, I should be able to rely on it to safely get me out of a jam if it connects. Unless you lucked into an early IE starting book and can pump Ice exclusively, Confuse will always have higher spellpower than EH and land more often. If you're trying to escape it's definit...

I think PG's choice of Brian Blessed for Qaz is good.

From the Won't do page: Beneficial effects from chunks. ◾ Would encourage tedious behaviour like stashing monsters. Disregarding that, having sources of mutations that give smaller subsets of mutations (that aren't purely bad) only makes it easier to rig the mutation roulette. (Also, I'm not sure ho...

After doing a test to confirm a suspicion, I am now inclined to believe letting weapons not turn into gold might be a better option because weapons under Tukima's Dance will drop gold if they're defeated(!)

Edit: Submitted a mantis report about this particular behavior.

Dancing Weapons leave gold and the weapon. From a mechanics perspective this is negligible, from a flavour one "what turned into gold?" ⋅ Either no change; or remove the gold drop. the weapon is more valuable. Gozag doesn't leave corpses for hides so it's probably more thematic ...

I did SpEn^Q once, made it to Zot:5 before dying to a poor decision (berserked Killer Klown.) It was definitely more fun than the VpNe^S I ran for the 0.16 tourney (got bored and suicide-tabbed myself in Snake.) I might try to ascend a FeEn^Q sometime

Do carnivorous races take longer to poop due to a lack of fiber in their diet?

Magic schools look absurdly high there for having 0 spellcasting. FTFY For reference, instead of training Translocations from 20 to 20.4 you could have got more than 4 levels in Spellcasting.

I started up a MiBe for an easymode 3-rune romp and ended up finding a lot of good loot, so I decided to go for my first 15-rune win! I switched to TSO for everything except Tomb, where I switched to Zin to avoid dealing with stat loss mummy curses. I found a lot of good loot (like rods of inacc/sha...

The new wizlab, Golubria's Singularity Collider!

This isn't my experience. I've seen skills I have no XP in get small boosts (less than a skill level), and then once trained larger boosts - the most I've seen at max piety and fully bound is around 4 or 5 skill levels. It seems to vary non-linearly depending on how much skill you have in it. For e...

Ash gives up to +9 to the relevant skills (the amount is determined by piety/cursed equipment), which is mitigated by the amount you've already invested (the more you invest the weaker the boost is, in 0.14 the penalty was skill/4.) You only get the bonus if the skill is trained to at least 1.

What happened to your potions of cancellation? Did you burn all of them on each mark?

But you claim that removing poison chunks hurts no one because everyone has plenty of food. Who claimed that? Basil did, by denying that there are characters who need to eat poison chunks. That's not a reasonable conclusion to draw. If you say "This meal tastes like shit wrapped in fertilizer ...

Who claimed that?

This one is the inedible (both metaphorically and literally) commit.

From the perspective of hunger, any build that relies on chunks aren't severely affected, although I might agree that Lair is a bit imbalanced on edible/inedible chunks (Maybe death yaks could become edible or something.) For the poison branch though, those builds aren't affected outside of creating...

I think it's neat that the no poison chunk change makes the poison branch rune an actual decision for certain builds.

It seems strange that an ally focused god doesn't give players a means to gather allies.

The real question you should be asking yourself is if you'll regret not using the Dark Maul when you're done... Your spellset suggests you have access to Spectral Weapon too so you have the oppurtunity to wield not one, but two Dark Mauls!!!

I would be wary of rF- as you're at the point of the game where Mara can spawn (Mara shoots bolts of fire...) While Elf is safer with 3 pips of MR, it's not a guaranteed lifesaver. The reason you want 3 pips of MR is to avoid banishment, but the high-tier threats are still threats without banishment...

Invisibility is available straight out of the box in wand and potion form, potions being common enough that most characters I have will quaff one to handle oklobs (regardless of whether they can get the spell/evocable ability online soon enough.) If you don't have invisibility, a last ditch resort y...

Iron and Golden dragons are monochrome and look a but too much like statues, I'll mess around with them more later.

I feel like someone should have taken a screenshot of all the death scarabs encountered at the entrance. (It was a lot.)

Alright, ontoclasm took a shot at it and the edits look pretty good, most of roctavian's issues were also fixed. Here's the current version after some minor tweaks:

And now a WIP bone dragon:

Pretty satisfied with it myself, waiting for some more feedback at the moment. This is how it looks in-game:

Old versions of Crawl had permanently cursed items where you would have to burn a ?rc every time you wanted to unequip it. This was annoying, but it did make for some interesting complications. That still exists, it's the {Curse} property (chance of recursing on equipping.) See the Scythe of Curses...

Hmm, what about different colors for the core-thing? Changing the shape would help too but I don't have any ideas for that.

http://i.imgur.com/68KGB63.png http://i.imgur.com/yPsLBMb.png Some ideas for a new azure jelly tile, although it still needs to look "frosty". (A few people have already commented on how the first one looks like a metroid so you don't need to bring that up :p)

Attempt at improving the reaper tile:

Actually I would love it if curare would stop anything that had a breath timer and was in progress, and would add (or increase the duration of) a breath timer (like you'd just breathed flames or what not) to the player and any creatures that it hit, and if any vocal multi-turn spells and abilities ...

My third victory! And coincidentally enough, my third FoAK that made it past Lair. The first attempt died in Zot:5 because I forgot about AK's greatest weapons, Corrupt and Enter the Abyss and I got mauled by Orb Guardians.

I had acquirement give me the gong once, but I was running a VSSu with 0 shield skill at the time so I didn't use it. Later he died of unrelated reasons. That's my gong story.
