Currently the repulsiveness card is the only mean to summon an ugly thing

Best nick ever, it always makes me smile when I read it.

Seriously, this is the kind of things I would like that Gozag could do: promote shops where you are going to find something you lack of or need.

In the last labyrinth I tried I was stuck. I found a teleport trap that surprisingly worked even with the supposed -ctele and that fortunately sent me towards the stone section, closer to the metal one.

I cannot figure out what happens if a trampling creature appears close to lava or deep water areas, is there a chance to be pushed to instadeath? If so, I think vaults could be cleverly designed to convert a mild nuisance in a challenging threat. Trampling can never push you into fatal terrain. how...

FWIW, I find constriction to be far less relevant or interesting than trample. Because is rather harmless? Early constriction from ball pythons is anecdotic at best, but I understand is just for learning. Later on, constriction monsters like nagas, octopodes or anacondas (am I forgetting anything e...

Something rather harmless but annoying, stubborn and with a tendency to push: a goat

Targoyles, the compressed version

Interesting, I was thinking of this more or less for mace&flails weapons: the bonus is applied provided you stand on the same place and lost when moving. It reflects the fact you gain inertia as you are swinging the weapon. It would offer some choice between a better positioning or standing to g...

To me the humble and dour brown was fine. Which is the description, rock, carved stone? It also conditions the tile art...

+1 to some destruction of walls, currently the cataclysm seems like a neutron bomb, just affecting living things and I was expecting something like a thermonuclear bomb, a big kabooom. How loud is it, by the way? Another issue, have you changed the altar colour in console? I've found a Ru altar with...

Is still too soon to merge Ru (formerly Iashol) experimental branch into 0.16 ?

Does the fact that Gozag won't be present at 0.15 mean that the design needs some tuning?

And a "steal mana" from monsters able to cast? effect: gain Mp + a "silence" status on target

* Draw Out Power curing status effects is a good idea, and one I hadn't previously considered. Do you have a suggestion of which status effects it should clear? My first reaction would be poison, confusion, mesmerize, and petrify. Doesn't it overlap with Ely purification? To make it a little differ...

Well but those spells have the assumed handicap that you cannot wield anything not even fight when carrying the ammo. This would change -not sure for better or worst- the early playstyle of geomancers and transmuters

A first sensible step could be making unwieldable the item categories of books, armor and consumables, letting projectiles, wands and rods. But a better idea is to make wieldable either stones or arrows whenever you have learned the corresponding spell. Otherwise projectiles would be unwieldable by ...

Is this bread-dancing for real?

I sometimes found myself wielding a bread ration or a potion by mistake while switching among weapons or decks. I lose a precious turn. Why is this option still available? Since removal of stalker class and those spells you need to have skeletons or chunks there's no need to wield consumables and su...

Doesn't it affect throwing and UC?

not sure if tossed before or currently implemented, Qaz haven't been one of my usual gods. To make more appealing Qazlal to casters a possibility is to sustain spells based on elemental schools, probably the school that you're getting a resistance. Somewhat like Vehumet with conjurations or Kiku wit...

I didn't noticed the removal of eyeballs :cry:

Does it mean they cannot be placed in designed vaults? I think that removal of certain enemies from the RNG is fine because random placement does not benefit them but I think some of them may be still useful if permitted to exist in dedicated vaults.

How is it possible, don't you have a room sanctuary dedicated to play Crawl with the utmost concentration surrounded by candle lights while listening to heavy music in complete solitude?

I knew the version with French soldiers during Napoleonic wars, that I see that is also mentioned in the wikipedia.

People like challenges and choices and the granted benefits are versatile enough

Would be interesting to have more minor gods instead of temple gods in the future? I'm not sure what to say on this

the problem with that is that Staves skill exists Yeah I thought somebody would mention this, but I don't imagine you can use that staff as a blunt weapon. In the figure I have included it's simply a sling attached to a stick rather than call it a cane or a staff, because the primary goal is to inc...

This name sounds ad hoc and so simple that I'd want to propose replacing it with an actual sling weapon Staff sling or fustibalus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sling_%28weapon%29#Variants The staff sling, also known as the stave sling, fustibalus (Latin), fustibale (French), consists of a staff (a le...

Actually the proposal here is IMO replaces

a lackluster race with no god

with

a lackluster god for almost all races, without spending neither a god slot nor a race slot.

and Dg having an easy time early on is one of their defining traits.) Subsequent and meaningful changes in each DCSS version may make not so relevant the easier start that Dg provides compared to other races, but I cannot tell if this is true or not in the most recent versions since I don't roll Dg...

Potion of purge

Just won a Iashol game. Cataclysm felt pretty strong, specially considering it costs nothing. and Power Leap is good too, almost a free Cblink. add in healing, and that was the easiest game I ever played. oh, and I did not understand what does sacrifice sanity does. negative slaying or something li...

To put it plain and simple, to me a variable* number of slots is more interesting (someone else can call it annoying, it's fine) than having a constant number of them for all the game. Let's say that every other trait of your play: skills, stats, resistances, weapons... experiement variability along...

Since the removal of the weight and item destruction, the slot inventory has become one of the most abstract and unaltered features of Crawl. It's even more magical than Doraemon's magic pocket. I think it is a good niche to add new playing challenges. This is a list of ideas and their possible impl...

Ok no more horrifying blood but now I am experiencing oddities like stabbing a monster and feeling a twist of horror at the sight of this foe, after I have slain it.

Besides, the same message appears sometimes when no monster is in sight.

I would support Rod Eric

Is this alt version of sac sanity motivated by the everlasting blood tiles?

edit: btw, which effects does the horror status cause?

If I am a weak mage, and can carry 20+ rations, then starvation will never "await me" on the Labyrinth. That was a price for being weak. Now everything goes into INT and/or DEX. Hmm, I don't remember if I've ever had to eat more than one ration in a Labyrinth. Usually there's no need to e...

Aren't there two shades of red as well? Make the shade fire isn't, unless I'm forgetting something

Nice topic! I also conquered the first ending just as you. But I cannot help very much... I will have to replay it again but I felt very proud after dealing the ancient hydra. My guess is that with a titan you can go deep further provided you should have a right set of weapons along the way and you'...

I am rolling a SpEn with an amulet of faith found early. It hasn't cleared Orc or Lair and only reached D:13 but has made up to six sacrifices, with the last one when I was having 6 stars. I don't think I'm gonna sacrifice more so I am going too much crippled. Thus, can I forgot I have a god for the...

Portals where monsters go out from as in Gauntlet.

The main concern here is the existence of areas of water, aka ponds, where you can safely melee a water critter, aka fish, from the shore. So you either change the critters or change the environment. In short, fishes are only a challenge if you are in their environment, otherwise you have the upper ...

Make unexpected floods for some areas triggered by a trap, where fishes and sharks are released in addition. Interesting challenge I think.

Insects should bleed green in console, I think this is present in tiles

On another thought, does the chunkless branch remove the gibs from blasting with the disintegration wand? This is one of the most fun visual features a recent player may found.
