Knight moving 40% faster to melee monsters at the edge of view will be much more powerful.

That is one form of bad programming, however that doesn't apply here, we have two different things happening here, we have "roll three dice, add them together, then see if they exceed x" then we have "predict how often that will happen and express that as a percentage for the user to...

Oh, it looks there was a miscommunication issue on my side

You mean it is harder to do a mistake in high level languages, right? Of course I agree. For some reason I thought that "more error-prone" is "less likely to make a mistake".

In the 1940s, the first recognizably modern electrically powered computers were created. The limited speed and memory capacity forced programmers to write hand tuned assembly language programs. It was eventually realized that programming in assembly language required a great deal of intellectual ef...

Sorry, I meant Spellcasting aptitude.

Higher level languages, make programming less, not more, error prone (I don't know where you got that impression, but it isn't correct). I got that impression from programming on Assembler, Java, Delphi and several other languages I have experience with. I am not expert on C/C++ but I did use it in...

Got +3 crown of Dyrovepreva {rElec Int+2 SInv}, +3 warlock's mirror {reflect} and Annihilations

Because it would be inefficient and a waste of processing power, it only calculates the display percentage when actually displaying it, and that is more work than just rolling the dice in the fashion that is done now. It might make more sense to you, a human, but it would be comically bad programmi...

Not sure yet, probably not. I want to get Tr with Shatter in next game.

Edit. I guess I will acquire a book and 2 armour.

I've just found first 3 scrolls of acquirement and I don't know how to spend them. Keep them for potential trove? ;) Seriously, I don't use weapons, I don't need armour because Dragon Form is castable without wizardry and anyway I have all resistances covered if I want, those amulet and rings are ve...

I like the nerf and sack of spiders changes too, Evo is not OP now and it is good.

If you aren't using it at absolutely stupid times you will not have higher chance to die with it... just lure enemies back a bit closer to stairs and then retreat once rage is over if it procs. I honestly don't see how it can help me. If I use it in hard situation, it can kill me. If I use it in ea...

You see here 3 scrolls labeled ONILOQ WOSAWK {!r}. Drop what? 52/52 slots (_ for help) (? for menu, Esc to quit) You drop 539 arrows. j - 3 scrolls labeled ONILOQ WOSAWK {!r} Read which item?

I should stop arguing with you too. I am not getting a reply, after all; Sandman25 is talking to a strawman instead. Sorry, if I seemed harsh. I meant I have less chance to win with that *Rage because I have higher chance to die with it than without it. For other players it can be the other way aro...

It looks like everyone missed that we are talking about Fire Elementalist... Teleporting away is not a good idea, you can land in a dangerous spot and you will still be slowed and unable to run away. Edit. It looks like I should stop arguing at this point. If players need +10 rapier with *Rage as FE...

Branching into Conjurations as Tm is a good idea sometimes. Your hands revert to their normal proportions. Your uncursed staff of conjuration {!a} unmelds from your body. Your +2 pair of gloves unmelds from your body. The 27-headed Lernaean hydra roars! Casting: Flame Tongue Confirm with . or Enter,...

*Rage would prevent me from using that rapier. *Rage is more likely to trigger with low base damage weapon because you attack more times. What the.... hell....? *gets +10 elec rapier on d:2* me: Why isn't there a super tab key to just win the game? *gets +10 elec rapier on d:2* Sandman25: But what ...

you.skill(SK_EVOCATIONS, 10) means Evocations is multiplied by 10.

How does evocation affect number of fire elementals from lamp of fire? I have just summoned 2 elementals despite my Evocations is only 7.3. Is it random or is there a breakpoint?

Yes. I mean I would use it only in situations when I don't care (or probably where I even want) berserking.
I mean I am not going to die without that rapier and that rapier can kill me in some situations so it is strictly bad for me as default weapon

I don't love it when I enter a new Spider level and find too many monsters. I leave immediately, use other stairs to enter and almost die. I mean after using those stairs I see my character berserk with staff of conjuration while wearing -Tele ring and no scrolls of blinking (only one generated and ...

Yes, it could be a nice way to discourage stairdancing.

*Rage would prevent me from using that rapier. *Rage is more likely to trigger with low base damage weapon because you attack more times.

Also MP aptitude is very important.

Why don't you train Fighting? Is it some kind of challenge?

I use 3 browsers.

Counterproposal: Make level requirement more important, you need to be XL (spell level*2)-1 to memorize a spell of a given spell level Why? How about changing melee in a similar way? XL 2 for vorpal, XL 5 for venom, XL 8 for freezing, XL 11 for flaming, XL 14 for electro, XL 17 for speed, XL 20 for...

OP character indeed: AC 52, 191 HP with deformed body and frail 3

Congrats.

I don't understand about shields 15. Do you mean there is some -3 shield somewhere? Go get it then, you don't need rC+ from the buckler.

I forgot that I played Tr of Vehumet with Fire Storm in 3 rune game as caster so yes, everything is a good caster with Vehumet

It's not only success rate, Invocation affects number and power of monsters (not sure about the latter though)

I mean if it's just to play GrBe then why not, the game doesn't punish you for doing this, I've won like this 4 times lol Trog's hand is almost useless vs orb of fire and skilling weapon to 27 is always a mistake unless you literally have nothing to train. Exactly So why is it in your guide? Do you...

Trog's hand is almost useless vs orb of fire and skilling weapon to 27 is always a mistake unless you literally have nothing to train.

-Trogs hand, literally broken, you can pop 2 MR whenever you want, see an orb of fire? Trogs hand and put some Fr on (make sure you are using that nice anti magic executioners axe with 27 axe skill because you a bad ass mother fucker) free kill, don't even quaff a cure mutation, bask in your victor...

Arrow cost is not enough IMHO, spamming Water Mocassins does not look balanced because in every fight you are limited by MP only, even Orc Warlords in Orc have no chance.

Also Silence.

Probably not but I remember the guy who made dcss-ca saying that the spell failure rates were calculated wrong once and they were way higher in that fork. Then the guy told that he was wrong, crawl devs explained to him how it works and he agreed that there are no bugs in that code. So I am pretty ...

HO have -3 aptitude in spellcasting, it is optimal to pick some axe because your MP is very low. I am playing a DgTm at the moment and I see it is extremely hard to branch into Conjurations even if you do it as early as Lair while having Int 24, MP+9 amulet and staff of conjuration in leather armour...

Oh, it must be some bug in IE 11, I do see the button in other browsers.

Discord has good synergy with stabbing since it is a reliable way to kill groups when you have problems stabbing and also it can be casted at unaware monsters, it's fun to see how they kill each other without even noticing you. Nightswalker can be problematic indeed though, because you have less dis...

I don't see "Thank" button sometimes. Is it some kind of experiment or am I going crazy?

amulet "Doxaoj" {Dismiss +Blink rC+ MP+9 Int+7}

Interesting mix for DgTm on D7, I guess crawl wants me to use that book of fire which I found earlier. Crawl, please give me a ring of fire to make me sure.
