Wait, they don't? I assumed monsters had infinite ammo.

Really, really nice :D Does it only play Crawl, or did you add other functions? Put in a coin slot that you have to pay for every time you want to start a new game :) Oh yea, that would be so cool! You know that whole thing, where to spare money you should put a few coins everyday in a jar, and when...

My take is somewhat different. All brands of a certain thrown item are in the same inventory slot. a - 14 Javelins - 3 Steel - 4 Silver Use p* to rotate different brands when quivered. I would probably make this a free action. If that's not OK, just use the normal (Q)uiver menu to handle different b...

After all, you have Jelly in Lair, and Hell in Depths. Elf is somehow deceiving in that it is doable, but very dangerous around lvl 15-16. Leaving it for later is an important thing to learn. A signal is the kind of timed portals that appear in it. IIRC, it's something like Salt and Wizlab, so stuff...

My experience with Transmutations is that they already are OK. Yes, you have to recast them every time, but you also have a variety of forms that respond to different situations. I don't think you are supposed to go around always keeping a certain form, because they have certain clear weaknesses (ge...

I have used it once on a Ba of Cheib. It was a fun run. But the point was that, even if it had drained all of my MP, I could kill things in another way.

How does this impact an area like the Hall of Blades, which, IIRC, is rune-blocked, but in which you still can fall through a shaft?

Filling a volcano crater with old tires and then setting them on fire would have been cool.

Potion of Mutilation

Like Ru's sacrifice, but you don't get anything in return.

And the moral is, the Necromutation was inside you all along!

What if they could blink you instead, as a melee effect? It's pretty useless if they are met alone, but, in a group, it gets more interesting.

About that: blinking makes them even less dangerous. Even if they were to block your escape route, they would get out of the way fast enough.

OK, I have opened a thread in GDR with the fustibalus.

The +8 Fustibalus of Zhor {Holy Wrath, +1 to sight, 4-tile halo} Zhor was a great hunt-leader of the nomads from the Sea of Ice. Sometimes, during the long winter darkness, he left his tent and went hunting, alone; the light of his weapon would then drive the night away, and people in the camp could...

How many + of enchantment should it have as a fustibalus?

My advice is that of entering Lair after you reached lvl 11, and to do Orc after Lair. I then usually go down to the bottom of the Dungeon before doing the branches you can access in Lair (I mean the two which are not Slime, which is too dangerous). After these branches, you can do Elf (MR and see i...

Should merge curing and cancellation. I once thought of this, and later realized that it means that a fighter who drinks a potion of might to fight snakes on D:2 will debuff himself by drinking curing against poison. Other than this somewhat unfair case, it would be interesting to have cancellation...

What about the Naga? Do they get the size bonus?

Also not really a splash screen. Some time ago I thought that it would be cool, if Maurice were turned into a Tengu named "The Magpie". This is how I guess it would look like: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55951801e4b09f741fea1620/59cc0064e5dd5bcc1143b090/5c90310224a69465aa8de060/...

Buckler of the Magic Button

*You block. Click goes the button! You gain 2 MP.*

Yea, wands are good. Troll Artificer is a start I liked.

Why use a fire weapon, though? For a troll of Trog, wouldn't BIA or rage + a giant mace be better options?

Generally speaking, I think that Trog is stronger, because, while taking magic away, it lets you dump a million skill points into evo. However, I would play a large species with Oka, simply because of the odd armour requirements. You can get dragon armour, as well as bardings, which adds a lot to yo...

I think that pain could be made to answer to INT instead of a skill.

Allow monsters to bribe the player. If you accept the bribe, you can't kill them without incurring in Gozag wrath.

Add new uniques: Durpessa and Dorpwan. They work like Duvessa and Dowan, but Dorpwan fires orbs of destruction at Durpessa when she's close to the player. Once the ball is undodgeable for her, Durpessa blinks and the ball goes for the PC. Add Skulltronax, God of Death. Skulltronax bestows magnificen...

Yup, for mysterious reasons, to know how much damage you got, you must look at the exclamation marks. You are splashed with acid! The acid burns! There is only one !, so it's from 7 to 17 points. From the learndb: If you hit something and the message ends with !, that means you did 7-17 damage. !!: ...

Luring is bad, it kicks puppets and killed Harambe. However, there is a way to defeat it; it is a serious proposal, but it also is very different from general Crawl design. Essentially, instead of following you, groups of monsters should start fortifying the area they are in. Build siege weapons, cr...

It sounds like a splendid idea. It's also very simple. I hope it gets integrated.

2. One of my allies does something that harms another ally. Eg, I cast Spellforged Servitor, which casts Conjure Ball Lightning, which blows up and hits another ally. Is this counted as me hitting the ally? This one actually happened to me, I think one of them (A1) missed the right target and hit a...

What really surprises me is that that game isn't longer than some of mine. That's six hours, right? I had always assumed that such a thing was impossible without becoming absurdly long.

Hypothetically speaking, without decay or hunger or OOD spawns, a player might do doomrl-waiting, as in, you camp in a good spot for thousands of game-turns and wait for monsters to move into a favorable position, so that you do not waste resources (as you do not regenerate in doomrl). Do mummies o...

I definitely like the idea of a potion that gives you MR++, however I have to say that using it in-game wouldn't be easy for me: there are a lot of monsters that use MR, and I'd find it difficult to find the right time (except maybe run-ins with the Enchantress).

Thank you Devs, because I don't have to try on every single cloak in Zot any more!

I don't give much value to EV because it can almost always be substituted by running away. However, when you can't run away because of status effects, EV utility drops significantly. Since there are no MR+ items (I am doing shoals, and the only two that came up were two robes in Snakes; however, the...

I completely forgot about the sling, it was on Joseph on D:8.

I am playing a DSMo of Oka. I met the Orc woman on D:10, and have taken her +6 demon trident. However, I started out with a mace, lather upgraded to a flail of protection and a +1 morningstar.

Please put a black Human called "The Hammer" as a substitute to the Minotaur.

Ugh, you are right, there's nothing unusual going on -- I forgot that ghouls don't heal when enemies are visible. My character just stood there and waited, but didn't heal, but still had the rot effect going. Since I didn't see the HP come back, I assumed that my rest was being interrupted.

Just asking, I'm standing in view of one and I lose HP each time I try to rest.

Also, Lair:5 is almost featureless. There is the small 3x3 Slime entrance vault with the runed door holding a blob, a slime creature, and a griffin inside. Outside, the only monster was a rime drake.

EDIT: It's actually probably nothing. I may have already been at this floor and forgotten about it.

Is it just me, or did 0.23 remove rings of see invisible from from the autopickup list?
