I appologize in advance if this is in the wrong section but I didn't know where to post this because it is not about the forum itself - it is about the comment section in https://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/crawl-0-19-dancing-through-memory. I noticed something strange. Comment number 7 is from a per...

Make the game mention it somewhere in case I miss the message. So I don't grow too attached to my +∞ boots of McAwesome when they are replaced for a puny aux attack.

Well now that I think about it just remove monstrous

[*]Monster base is not nearly obscure enough of a reference, name is too straightforward, and it doesn't propagate injokes like crabs or sprint uniques That's not true, the headless horseman is full of meme potential. Let me try: Why did the headless horseman lose the race? Because he couldn't ...

I never understood the weird distinction between monsters that are vulnerable to i. e. cleansing flame but not to weapons of holy wrath. There are very few sources of holy damage in the game already so why make matters more complicated by making holy wrath brand something de facto completely differe...

so okay first of all you need a reason the reason is always "crawles is too ezy" okay. now you have to specify a little. "crypt iz 2 ezy". Okay so now we know where our new monster needs to appear. Now we need some tasty flavour. Thankfully history has a lot of folklore and myth ...

Note: The name is a placeholder. Description: Pran-Zali is a shrewd god of the sea that values freedom and lust for adventure and treassure. Followers of Pran-Zali often live on the edge of society as buccaneers, rogues, adventurers or other sorts of scum. While Pran-Zali certainly loves a good disp...

I am sure that everyone here could sing songs and tell great tales about it: The almighty adder fells new players and stalwart veterans alike. It makes Jormungandr pale in comparison. It's pretty ridiculous, actually. Adders are both fast and venomous have not-too-terrible hp. All this at a time whe...

Mummies directly conflict with the game's design philosophy of anti-scumming. 1. Mummies cannot starve and thus have no hard time limit that forces them to push forward eventually. 2. Mummies cannot mutate and thus have no fear of suffering permanent bad mutations that disincentivize staying in pand...

New sacrifice for Ru. You cannot train bows, crossbows, slings or throwing. You cannot use any weapon of these categories. You can however, wield stones and large rocks for the purpose of sandblast and carry arrows for the purpose of sticks to snakes. Just something that crossed my mind when playing...

Isn't it weird that a red draconian in dragon form would have less rF than any other race turning into dragon form?

Weird, I thought I was banned.

Here comes a new challenger! http://i.imgur.com/xIhCwhO.jpg "I have lived a slime knight, I will die a slime knight!" What others fear, the slime knight embraces - constant change. Unshackled by the chains of society, free from suffocating order, the chaotic yet virtuous slime knight seek...

Not sure if this helps but if you press + on the numpad you can enter "explore mode" in which you are unable to die. Explore mode games are not scored.

Pros: -Combined with the recent change to make monster derived health bars visible, they wouldn't behave differently from "normal" monsters anymore -Player deaths increased because you underestimated that undead frog for the last time Cons: -They would work differently than player created ...

Lol what, divine energy gives you infinite mana with a comically insignificant drawback + channel magic restores massive amounts of mp for little investment but I really shouldn't try anymore at this point

I don't think it's reasonable to expect it to actually happen, but I would think transmutations would be a better fit as a god slot suite of abilities. Shadow form comes to mind. But anyway, I don't see what this would accomplish other than shoehorn anyone who would want to use transmutations into ...

Rename DD to Draugr, make them this, hit two stones with one bird.

But you'd have bonus armour or something from scales

I'd take a scales facet over additional 2 body slot facets any day of the week. Only good thing about monstrous is that the claws are guaranteed but a "normal" demonspawn that gets claws would be better. I wouldn't mind seeing monstrous gone entirely. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/I...

I'm terribly sorry but what I parse from this thread is "Ghosts are in the game because." and "If you don't like how we conduct business, go make your own game. With blackjack and hookers. We are just the lich king on the frozen throne waiting for a rag-tag band of misfit heroes to ov...

I think UC/Tm is at least a little different than using weapons and you occasionally even have to make a decision how you allocate your skill points, which is a good thing. Every point you spend in Tm that is not getting the form you're teching for castable somewhat reliably is a point you don't spe...

Dowan breathes, "And she was my only..." I'm sorry but this is not a natural thing to say in that situation no matter how you look at it. Your only what? Sibling? Why would you say that? Obviously you don't have multiple siblings. But if you grew up with only one sibling, you'd never expe...

Well it IS on the official "will never happen list" for what it's worth.

I knew these testbots were up to something...

I may be weird but I think Trog and the Be background are okay as they are. Gods and backgrounds don't need to be balanced against each other, and it's perhaps nice to have a background that is effectively a difficulty setting without changing any mechanics or numbers. Causing Trog's powers to use ...

Well I think we can agree that Trog's abilties should depend on invocations. At least that way you have to spend some experience to use them.

I think it's time someone plucked up the courage to challenge God-king Trog's undisputed throne. Unfortunately for us all, you are stuck with me. Trog/Berserkers are overpowered, I really don't think I need to explain that. I suggest removing the berserker background as a band-aid solution until we ...

My advice to you is to start as an enchanter instead of assassin. That way you have easy access to hexes magic such as ensorcelled hibernaiton and confuse which allow for opportunities to stab. Dithemenos is ironically not great for most stabbing builds because while it increases your chances of sne...

Eat a chunk of flesh? (ye/n/q) You start eating the chunk of flash. Keep eating? Why does it warn you twice? Is this a bug or a feature? Is there some rc magic to reduce it to 1 or remove it entirely? And what is q anyway? Thank you in advance. I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. Also t...

Would be nice for sheep, too.

In all seriousness, I think OP raises a valid point. This is the introduction of the post. It does not mean I agree with "ranting" (this is not important). Isn't the philosophy of the game that "Death should be a learning experience rather than an exercice in frustration?" These ...

duvessa wrote:2. it directly claims bad spells (like necromutation and guardian golem) are good

It actually stays useful until the end of lair (and sometimes swamp, when it generates) as a "wand of kill things standing in water" - namely, eels. After that you can just turn it off on the auto pickup menu. Yes, yes, marvelous demonstration of "optimal play" and "tactics...

I'm not sure if this is still possible but the D:1 map generated in a way so that the dungeon entrance was in a small quadratic chamber with the only a 1-tile broad corridor leading out. A gnoll with a halberd was already inside the corridor. Took one step, gnoll comes into view, notices me, literal...

Don't genereate wand of flame past D:5 or so. 5? 4? Maybe 10. 8. Of course, wand of flame is an integral part to any crawl player's "tactics" and that should obviously not change. Quantum. However, it is only useful early on. Finding it later is "inventory and visual clutter" whi...

I don't think this is a good idea, not only is it public naming and shaming, but we also don't know the exact circumstances of why a given character died, maybe the player just didn't care anymore.

Edit: I could see a mentor/mentee program on a voluntary basis work.

There should be an potion (soma?)/god ability/super meter that that fills based on tention that does the following *ahem*: "Removes the limiter in your brain, allowing your next spell or ability to unlock its true potential." For example: Call imp: Your next use of call imp is replaced by ...

Draconian callers can summon kommodo dragons with summon drake. Drake is a word for dragon.

It's 100% in-game proof!

"Tactics."

What's the secret Korean pro tech for defeating TRJ as a "caster"? With a "melee" character I'd just fight Jello in one of the corridors, reading a scroll of summoning to limit its spawn, buff up and pummel it. I have little experience with "casters" (for example one hi...

Well I don't know about startscumming but OP is right in that early D (fast) weapons with the mentioned brands (especially electrocution, which is the worst contender by far) are comically overpowered. When you find an e. g. +2 elec whip you can turn off your brain and YOLO the next 10 floors withou...

Call me crazy but I think paralyze is fine as it, now that chaos mirror is gone.

Also, if this proposal does end up getting picked up, I would argue against keeping Zin's passive lifesaving and opt to instead give him Elyvilon's active life saving. I would argue that the conduct of not killing things while it's active does not feel awkward, and is considerably more interesting....

you haven't introduced yourself. Maybe you can at least show what problems Purification has? Do you hate Ru as well? If you've never had real Vanilla ice cream, I'll tell you, it is so good you don't even want adulterants like chocolate. My belly is fat, my teeth are in decay: You guessed it, I pla...

*Sigh* well I'm terribly sorry for wording that ever so slightly wrong but that's what I meant. I only wanted to say don't charge headlong into an iron giant with a dagger.

You just described the whole game in one sentence. *wink* *wink*

Where do the nice pictures in this thread keep going? Anyway, from what I can gather we can (mostly) agree on: -It should not be smite targeted (never was) -It should remain a transmutations spell -it should not have a constriction effect -it should not have spellpower break points Now the last one ...

This is like somebody starred directly into my soul; I find it hard to describe with words. I'm sorry, I... *sniff* *wimper" I think I need a moment. Needless to say, I couldn't agree more with this proposal (forgive me, HardboyledGargoyle). Let me make one thing perfectly clear, this is not be...
