This will be a slight buff for Ash in early game as cursing your weapon has the main drawback of not being able to use blowguns. As Ash has always been weak in early game this change is welcome.

Are you familiar with force_more in your rc-file? Editing your rc-file is generally considered to be useful, e.g. for getting a warning message when you are low on HP. For example, in my rc-file I put force_more_message += increases to and every time any skill level increases the game asks me to pre...

It's funny that cute leopard geckos are indeed severe threats for XL1 characters.

I wondered why team captain Charly chose the strange name Eublepharis macularius as clan name for the recent 0.19 tournament. Now that the tourney is over I looked it up.

As can of worms implied, this doesn't work and you can't use mana from equipment to recharge devices. Well, an unlucky actual DD had to try this in a game right before reading your answer.

Deep dwarves do not heal naturally and so need other ways to get their HP back. E.g. they have a wand of heal wounds which can be recharged by spending one permanent MP. If you happen to run out MP (e.g. problems finding Makhleb's altar) you want to get more MP. Pushing evo is one way, putting on a ...

Some words about the end of the game from Charly himself (recent chat):

Hey, "Okawaru grants you a gift!" is a new message for the topic Famous last words !

Okawaru grants you a gift!

To understand why this message belongs to Famous last words you might want to read Arrhythmia's topic
Spellbinder + Okawaru = Tragedy.

When you look at the all-time highscores of crawl (ignore the incorrect first score) you'll see that each of the ultra-speedrunners - PurpleRed, Sapher, Charly and 4thArra - managed to win a 15-runer in < 20 k turns. They also got close to the famous 19-k-border which makes me wonder if 19 k is anot...

Of course I was talking with 4thArra about this game. After some changes in recent versions, especially the removal of cTele (removed in 0.17) and active use of ring of teleportation (removed in 0.18), 4thArra had said "speedrunning is dead". So both of us were really surprised about a 19 ...

If Xom can have an active ability, then it should be "Do something", not "Help". Otherwise it is no longer Xom. That's interesting. I sometimes added notes like "do something, boss" in my Xom games when I was in trouble. Do something could be a kind of (dubious) emerge...
