True story, I once "Pounded Duvessa like an anvil!" and it was right in front of her brother. Let me tell you, it was awk-ward. :oops:

I think 3d universe laws of physics don't apply to possibly a 2d universe of crawl. also flying or size of creatures doesn't mean the same thing in the universe of crawl, seeing how a bee and a giant or two bees can't fit into one tile. Tiles are either passable or not and that probaby doesn't have...

I thought we were going to be talking about the new headwear added in trunk.

The url for your current dump is at http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/Eleusis/Eleusis.txt, assuming you play under the same name you use to post here. I don't see any necro skill, so this is expected behavior for sub blood. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.13-a0-2712-g07f05f3 (webtiles) character ...

Executioner Axe?

What do you do after you beat Bejka's dungeon? It just seems super grindy then as I can either babysit that dungeon and use tons of god potions or I can do Rawdan's and wait a bit.

I'm guessing I've essentially beaten the game but is there anything I've missed?

MR doesn't become a hard requirement until Elf:3

Wut? Oh, you must mean other than Kirke, Erolcha, vault sentinels, monsters with confuse, monsters with slow and the orc sorcerors at the bottom of Orc.

I'm pretty sure you can drop the artifact books. They are treated like any other artifact.

Draw four is super useful if you're in a bind on summoning. Don't do it on legendary destruction though as it could literally blow up in your face. It's not something you're going to use a lot but you'll be glad it's there when you need it. And it's far better than the old mark 4 power was. I like t...

She-Ra pegs okra, pass it on.

You don't want a demon trident. You want to use that vampiric glaive all the way through the normal 3 rune game. If you decide to go extended, then you can start using the bardiche.

It belongs in a museum.

Please tell me that this started in GDD. I need a good laugh.

I've only won one Nem game, so take this with the appreciable grain of salt but once you have 1-2 possibly stacked legendary decks of escape you probably want to turn them off too. You'll still get them as the weighting changes but really if you have 10 get out of jail free cards, you shouldn't need...

I have other problems with boulder beetles. The fact that they can still hit you for 3d20 EV-ignoring damage "rolling" 0 squares is grade-A nonsense. I would rather see them act more like OOD does and/or allow EV to work. I had only sort of noticed this behavior before but playing a felid ...

For those who want a curare spell that isn't limited by curare needles, try Corpse Rot. I have. The fact that a curare like effect exists and is essentially unlimited in most of a 3-rune game indicates that one that is not necromancy + physical component based but high level would not necessarily b...

Mmm, baked spriggan.

You know that it used to do it and was removed because there was an easy fix which was to drop all your scrolls before reading an unknown scroll.

That means a lot coming from you :lol:

What good is +0 armour going to do for a Dr? Unless you just meant, I'm going to give my Dr a cloak for some unknown reason.

joellercoaster wrote:Great game. Fucking painful with a nipple mouse though.

You could probably just remove it while you play. I can't imagine a nipple mouse being comfortable at the best of times though what with the biting and scratching.

I got super far into the dungeon and found a lot of good stuff, but I tried doing slime pits in hopes of getting a staff of channeling and or book of annihilation and ended up killing dissolution, only to go down a floor and end up dying after accidently attempting to move and getting blasted by ac...

@mikee, I would play that god, except for the last power. Next April Fool's please implement (except for the whole needing to kill Hunglor which is just weird)!

Everyone always complains that there are no high level poison spells. Curare is incredibly good against anything susceptible to poison. Make a fireball like cj/pois spell or even a charm/pois spell to temp brand a weapon with curare. I think level 8 would be good. If it's too strong as cj/pois, then...

Amnesiac wrote:+9 blessed bow with elemental arrows

Ammo brand takes precedence over launcher brand. (Except when a fire/ice conflict exists, you get vanilla damage.)

And except velocity stacks.

Base damage isn't the same as enchantment damage. The battleaxe is going to do more damage to anything not weak to ice.

If he's dealing with .12 skald, he doesn't need a lot of charms because low level charms that you cast before the fight aren't at all similar to things you need to cast in a fight. Cast your charm at 50% fail because it doesn't really matter.

With anyone bolt of inaccuracy is awesome. With TSO it's crazy awesome.

Are you saying St. George chased all the dragons to Wales?

Depends on what you're going to cast. I'd probably wear plate long term on an Orc. I might wear something a little lighter while I got my spells up.

You missed a step.
4. Don't die.

If you ever are thinking, "Hmm should I use that scroll of blinking or just teleport?" the answer is always use the scroll of blinking.

Who's Gloria Mundi and what does she have against buses?

I wasn't trying to say that food acquirement was worthless by any means. What I was trying to indicate was that in general you should acquire something that is useful. Gold is only useful to buy things. If there's nothing you want to buy then it is completely worthless. For most characters food is s...

Nice armour. I would definitely learn more charms if you have them, even if you do decide to go TSO, you can always either forget regen or just not use it. I see you have a book with silence. It is really useful in tomb, but it's also a lot of investment. Although if you do go extended, it's not tha...

Ahem: You spit the hog like a pig!!!!

I have no idea what you're talking about. Both equipment slaying bonuses and weapon +dam enchantment are added together after base damage (modified by skills) has been calculated. Then the game rolls a random number between 1 and your total slaying bonus. This is the same for all melee attacks, wea...

You hit it with a big stick or some other conjuration. See also, "How do I kill fire resistant stuff when I'm an FE?" "How do I kill ice resistant stuff when I'm an IE?" and "How do I kill hexes resistant stuff when I'm an En?"

Probably dairy and diarrhea both were cut due to lactose intolerance.

Or you could just drop stuff wherever. If you're really worried, you can drop it in the corner of a big room.

I don't see much difference between hostile summons and summon caps. In both cases you stop summoning because you either are afraid of hostiles or have reached summon cap. Limiting available mana based on summoned monsters could be a good solution and I think it is discussed by dev team. Meant to q...

doesnt it take three years to kill a jelly by throwing stones at it? Even then i thought I'm not much faster than them and so id have trouble kiting? I take it they corrode anything you have when next to you? ( Not just what you hit them with) It typically takes me 6-10 thrown stones to kill a jell...

Was confused when this was not a Vp player asking for advice.

Congrats on the win.

I've learned that one shouldn't mention things in the forum that one doesn't want messed up. Cf my post about wasps and bees working differently under pacify. Now no insects are able to be pacified.

Mara is a "he" not a "she."

I wasn't thinking of Tr statue form under Che. Since the thread is about Che, I probably should have. I would not do statue form under che since you end up compounding the worst parts about che with the worst part about statue form and little upside.

nordetsa wrote:And Ozocubu's armor is good. Cast whenever you have to fight a tough enemy. It's like a free 5 AC or something and doesn't cost much mp.

Ozocubu's is more like 8AC for anything already invested in ice and probably more. 4 + ice/3. Yes it's really good.

I don't see why cleaving would make sense here. When people used scythes as weapons, they had the blade attached so it's pointing forwards, so it can be used as a normal polearm weapon. Not really something you'd "cleave" with. More like stab people or hack them to bits. This is very diff...

You don't need blade hands on a troll. It's not worth the XP investment.

Statue form on the other hand...

The only resist mutation I can find is in the form of an amulet, but I didnt want to take off my amulet of faith. I will if I have to though. The amulet is the only resist mutation source you're likely to ever find in most games. There are some others like having the mutation resistance mutation, b...
