A lot of people want this to happen, actually.
It happened in Crawl Light. Instead of spells costing hunger, they cost 'contam' on a contam bar that would go down IIRC with gaining xp.

I saw a really hilarious death last night. A formicid of qazlal was on slime:6 and tried to set up a killhole in the slime walls - trying to use his mandibles, then opting to go with a wand of disintegration. Even with rCorr, 7 slime:6 slime walls surrounding you and the trj filling the remaining ti...

No

It doesn't use your weapon's brand.

You can't slimify okawaru wrath summons so I don't really see how Jiyva helps with that transition.

The big benefit of Robe of Night is that fire storm can be cast out of your LoS with it on - so if you see something dangerous you can haste, kite it out of LoS, and keep fire storming the edge of LoS until you feel more experienced. Cheap and effective.

Here is a flowchart for you to follow: 1) Wait some place safe (= far from unexplored territory) for your contam to end. 2) Cast haste and approach the Zot:5 fault. 3) When any monsters come into view, back away from them; lure them at least 10 tiles away from any unexplored territory (esp. the vaul...

Is your goal 3 rune or 15 rune? If it's just 3 rune, stick with oka. Yup I forgot to mention that, but lets say that goal is 15 rune. What are options then ? I have experience with Trog-->TSO switching, but have never abandonded Oka before. If you know how to swap from trog to tso you know how to s...

I'd go one step further, and suggest the X should be on the square the monster moved to. The player character saw the monster, and then saw it step out of his view, so he saw which way it went.

Well, there isn't much artistic freedom on the in-game ragdolls, since all the armour and weapons have to fit on them without extensive changes.

After much testing (and another splatted character or two), seems this was probably a combo of much-lower-than-max-but-still-6* piety, a longish run of missed mimic checks while UC-ing, and my not noticing some mimic attack notifications (when they were on the next line after the mainhand attack an...

I have no idea how vine stalkers look, but I found this neat image while googling:

What about making them apply the 'distracted' status guaranteed if they hit?

Sweet, it got added!

Thank you to nagdon and wheals

Only beating a zig (leaving Zig:27) makes future zigs tougher.
If you play online, use !lg * x=zigscompleted to see how many zigs were fully completed (left from Zig:27).
It's presumably in the morgue somewhere too.

edit: I'm going to put some effort into making sure that monsters -always- notice you under Sac Stealth, and also make it relatively hard to shake them. Here are the places you want to edit: mon-behv.cc ASSERT(mon->foe != MHITNOT); if (mon->foe_memory > 0) { // If we've arrived at our target x,y //...

Right now it gives fire/cold/pois/elec/acid only. OK, I meant "what purpose would it serve to have it not give rN+?" I kinda feel like the potion of Resistance should help you resist anything that can be resisted. rN, rRot, rHellfire, rTorment (as per the demonspawn mutation), the lot of ...

Dis is the hardest, most awful hell. Why would you recommend someone do it first?

By the way, if any devs are listening, can ##crawl announcements related to zigs also include what 'power level' the zig is up to, so we can get excite if someone's doing zig 13. Thanks

Why on earth would it not?

So the chance of successfully teleporting into a 3x3 empty room is (selecting the center as target): 3/4 + 1/4 * (1/9 + 4/9 * 4/9 + 4/9 * 6/9) = 3/4 + 1/4 * 49/81 = 3/4 + 49/324 = 292/324 = 146/162 = 73/81 = about 90%, am I right?

2) I would have began a teleport immediately. That's what I would have done too. (Btw: saving the game and leaving your computer would have been a good idea as well.) (Even do it before the haste, since how long a teleport takes is dependent on auts, not turns/how fast you're doing actions.) So I l...

I watched your death ( !lg ghwc zot 6 -tv ). Some things I noticed: 1) You were actually safer before the blink than after it. Acid blobs can snipe you with acid from any distance (melee or ranged), and blinking actually made it easier for more of them to be able to target you at once, so it didn't ...

You can also start a second teleport. If you have status light Tele and a new tele starts, both cancel out. That's pretty key stuff, there. Never could have found that other than by accident, so thanks. Is that for real? Seems like a bug to me... It's not bug. spl-transloc.cc void you_teleport(void...

When you choose a square for a controlled teleport, you have a chance of teleporting to any of the nine squares within a radius of 1 from the chosen square. Incorrect - you can actually teleport to any of the squares in a 5x5 box around your destination. Here's how it works: Start in the tile you p...

We have the autoexplore footprints now so this makes sense to add.

The problem with making Hell and Pan mutually exclusive is that Pan is a LOT easier than Hell. If you can pick, everyone will pick Pan every time. If it's randomly chosen for you, people will cuss when the game picks Hell for them :) So what do you think of swamp/shoals/snake/spider? It's a good qu...

butchering is still a good way to wait for enemies to come next to you while berserk though (because it doesn't nuke the duration like walking/swinging at air (wtf) does Yea, you still need to pay attention to meleeing enemies and butchering (if you want your berserk to last longer) vs not doing th...

If the last action on a berserk was attack/butchering, you can still pass out from exhaustion (1d4 paralysis).

Distraction occurs (with a % chance) whenever a monster is hit from a source that isn't you.
Your shadow mimic counts as not-you.
The monster hitting itself counts as not-you (for example if it hits itself with a reflected bolt of lightning).

There's some argument that the new corrosion effect needs to be more impactful with a single stack, and that multiple stacks need to be less harsh or less frequent, both of which seem plausible to me. There's a run-away effect in that corrosion is more likely to proc if you took more damage from th...

'Did you try an item that has little chance of spawning in a given game?'

The chance of your shadow acting on a mimicable spell/melee/ranged attack is 10% at 4* and 50% at 200 piety, scaling linearly between the 2 if your piety is anywhere between those two values. For melee, it gets exactly one chance when you attempt to melee something. So, having more aux attacks does ...

After your passwall ends, sleeping monsters are not given a chance to wake up, unlike shadow step, so 'passwall-stabbing' is 100% safe as long as you kill in one hit.

It seems qw has a DDBe win now, on its 32nd attempt. That's a mighty winrate for a bot!

After hundreds of games of crawl, I didn't know about variable HP until this thread, which explains why sometimes orc priests seemed appropriately difficult for how early they appear, and once in a while there's that orc priest that just wouldn't go down. So you didn't know about variable HP but yo...

Just write a Lua script to do that. And to swap gear to eat poison chunks. And to warn you if you're about to cast invisibility while contaminated. Basically any sort of automatic action or warning can be done with Lua. But anything that's a 'no brainer' should be baked into the game, and not requi...
