I think Oka wrath can confuse when it drops monsters around you.

Is it destroyed after being evoked?

Why do hydras have this mechanic again?

Since you don't have great options for rN, TSO would be a good choice.

Congrats!

bel is right about Heroism & Finesse. Heroism is almost free and you should use it very often.

Congrats!

Sorcerous is right about brands, also including pain. See https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/73b ... e.cc#L2159

Congrats! Simulacra can kill OoF. Use Receive Corpses, if necessary, for Simulcra. Haunt works great against OoFs. Death scarabs (Infestation) & spectral allies (Death Channel) are also great, but require killing stuff before Fighting the OoF. I don't remember: does BVC work on OoFs? Generally, ...

Congrats!

Don't forget that Trig's Hand gives MR++, too!

You might enjoy centaurs instead.

Put on a helmet!

Huh? Conjurations improves most of those spells simultaneously, most importantly Fireball and Iron Shot.

I agree. I've played a few Okawaru games recently with throwing as a supplemental attack. The inventory clutter and decision making is much improved. The replacement for paralysis and confusion needles is much better balanced: it's still strong at high throwing, but not insta-kill broken. I like boo...

I agree. They are pretty different experiences.

If you don't do a PR, it definitely won't get accepted.

If that's too many negatives for you, a PR is the best route to getting these changes made, even if it has a small chance of success.

Also, the next 2 levels of the mutation make your MP regen so fast that it's a huge bonus to spellcasters. Granted it might take many XP levels before you get those next levels of the mutation.

More Fighting!

Your gear is great. For now, either focus Fighting or turn off Armour. Add Confuse, Lesser Beckoning, Passage of Golubria. They are already trained. Use them. Maybe train later for Summon Butterflies, Summon Lightning Spire, Darkness, Invisibility, Silence (for Tomb), BVC, Deflect Missiles, Statue F...

Yermak suggested learning and casting high-level Translocations, with brilliance, until getting -Tele status. It did the trick without any nasty miscasts! Thanks, Yermak!

Apportation hasn't spawned. A few -Tele items have, but I didn't bring them to Pan.

I have 0.23 game on CAO with username Airwolf where the glowing rune is on a dispersal trap and I can't retrieve it. Any help would be appreciated!

Does Bros just use too much piety? Otherwise, it seems perfect for Fe.

Grinding Invocations titles is great!

Use scrolls of identify on potions. Read one of the stack of 4 unknown scrolls. Put on the unknown amulet.

Axes are nice for formicids because you're a bit more likely to be fighting multiple enemies at once, but the other choices are fine, too. (Not short blades.) Use a ranged option often, too. The gift code adds tomahawks with weight 50, needles with weight 75, javelins with weight 100 if you can use ...

The new traps have made Tomb:3 and Zot:5 much harder.

Remove the alive state and give undead vampires no regen when monsters are in LOS.

That's a tough choice between regen and access to bat form.

I don't know the GUI, but find the button for rebase and click it. It won't destroy any of your work. If you're lucky, it will automatically rebase your changes onto the current master. If you're unlucky, it will walk you through manually fixing anything that needs fixed.

I agree that the expected value of unidentified artefacts is fairly low, but the possible maximum value is very high. Spend the money when you have it on types that you would use if they turn out to be good, e.g. don't buy a robe on a heavy armour dude, etc.

What's the trap nearby? Is it teleport? (I'm not a tiles player, so I don't know the glyphs.) If so, stepping on that is faster than reading a scroll. I think 1 or 2 heal wounds first, then teleport, then haste. Resistance if you might have to eat fireballs. Maybe scroll of summoning, fog, or invoke...

Use manual skilling instead of automatic.

Ah! My eyes!

Steel is +30% damage to all monsters. It used to also have lower mulch rate: does it still?

Don't forget that ghost Stone Arrow does insane damage!

The Koreans taught us that Beogh is the god of reaching. I think it should be a halberd.

Also, make sure you open fights against Hell/Panlords with Recite. It has a small but nonzero chance of disabling them with confusion etc or applying a more minor debuff.

Ah, I'm wrong about staff acquirement. Thanks for the correction!

Wucad Mu is actually a weapon, not a staff, in the inventory and acquirement categories. Yes, acquire armour, but expect disappointment.

Rations lying around in Pan are generally a net positive to your stack.

That great sword is super strong, above average endgame weapon. Any choices beyond that are you having fun.

Silence is great in Tomb. (Use with care: you don't want to Silence yourself out of emergency god abilities or scroll of blinking. The second part of level 1 is the easiest to use Silence well.) Shatter is also great in Tomb for AOE damage and for making shortcuts on levels 1 & 2. Careful of tri...

Seems like great fun. I can't wait to try it.

Good lord, I has no idea that's what the Spriggan's Knife does! I thought it was just a pretty good dagger.

Congrats!

Managing line of sight, e.g. use corners to decrease turns in LOS before you attack. Lesser Beckoning is good, too.

Heretics!!!

Condolences. My R.I.P. was a joke: I didn't know you had actually died...

Zin's Recite and your 25.4 Invocations should wipe the screen when it gets crowded. It does take 3 turns to fully trigger, so use early. Sanctuary makes you death-proof. (You have to remember to use it, but, hilariously, there is a *separate* small chance that Zin will cancel a killing blow. The lat...

Keep the fire dragon scales. AC is good and the stealth malus is small. Pips are discretization of the (hidden) continuous stealth value so don't take differences of 1 pip too seriously. Train a bit more stealth if you want. I find Abyss pretty easy generally, even easier with stealth, and very easy...
