Maybe there could be a transmutation spell that would turn you into a very magic resistant being. Well, necromutation gives +50 MR so there already is. It's kind of a huge investment though.

Remove Dwarves from Deep Dwarves and just call them Deeps and nobody will worry about the game only containing non-standard dwarves And give them a racial ability for quoting philosophical questions. You ask: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?&q...

Fedhas is a really interesting god. A while ago, I'd never thought I'd spend an acquirement scroll on food, but with Fedhas, fruit is a good option. When I did that, I got something like 20 bananas. An Oklob farm on Zot:5 is hilarious.

That would be cool. I guess there should be a high level spellbook in there. And Boris should have an amulet with no useful properties

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a level 13 human (with no other MR sources) has MR 39 (13*3). So this would show as "-----" in the display. After gaining a level, the display will show "+----" (14*3=42). The player will feel that MR just went from 0% to 20%, which is not the case. I...

Did you know you can see all the possible cards in a deck from ?/ Sure. What I meant was that spoilers are necessary for finding out the concept of power level and it's effect on certain cards. For example, a certain card is mostly useless at power level 0, at power level 1 it can kill you and at p...

I like the idea of using a spellpower-like bar for MR. I don't see the point of giving a number instead. As it's already been said, without a scale a number is meaningless, why do people ignore that and keep pushing this? There isn't any solid argument about why displaying a number would be better ...

I also think that MR is like AC/EV and should be displayed as a numeric value.

I also ascended all characters and then some. Not many with special conducts, though (except I never engraved Elbereth or wished for quest artifacts). I also read every spoiler I could find, which is basically a requirement for getting anywhere in Nethack (unless you have unlimited time and patience...

I've played a lot of Nethack in the past and absolutely loved the game. But I can't think much of anything worth borrowing. Riding? It's definitely cool to ride a dragon. Swallowing as a monster attack (Juiblex, elementals,...)?

EDIT: Also purple worms and long worms.

My GrSu just killed Mennas without taking any damage. The poor lad was sound asleep when I cast a few Haunts on him. What kind of angel can't handle a bunch of wraiths and phantasmal warriors? Even Jorgrun survived a couple of turns longer.

Btw. I like Haunt.

Mephitic Cloud?

Harpies are currently the most annoying feature in Crawl, in my opinion. I could live with them stealing food if they weren't so fast. Now I have to drop all permafood before descending to a new level in Shoals, which only adds tedium.

So, after returning to Crawl after a few years' break I managed to prove myself that I can still play the game. I chose a HOWz and the first altar I found was of Fedhas, so I decided to give it a shot. I only wanted to win again, so 3 runes was all I aimed for. Note that the version was 0.10.3. I wi...

Does it split? And if yes, can the enslavement wear off at different times so that the creatures start fighting each other?

'enormous slime creatures can dish out decent damage' (bye bye DD Stalker of Chei ) Temporal distortion (a->b) usually breaks them apart (and if they merge after it, just use it again), and if you're not strong enough to take it while happening to be in a corridor, your best bet is to teleport/step...

I'm returning to Crawl from a couple of years' break and I'm loving it! I have 12 victories but I feel like a newbie once again... My first victory was with a HOFE in 1999 and Crawl 3.20. In that version, only one rune was required but all runes weren't guaranteed to exist (no Swamp rune in that par...
