Sif Rework Part 4: Add a Divine Exegesis ability Sif currently has one active that uses piety, Channel Energy, an ability that becomes more about convenience than power as the game progresses since players get access to a large MP pool. This commit adds a powerful new active to help Sif be relevant...

It's the fucking best weapon in the game barring some insane ranged artifact

Fsim is needed but I'm almost sure a +9 plain broad axe is going to be significantly better than a +9 holy war axe against evil targets, at least at 0 and >=18 axes skill.

yeah it's very nice when your hex fails but your shadow buddy helps you.

The shadow ranged or melee attack use a base type of weapon, probably with +0 enchantment and no consideration of player skill.

So it is very good with 2h and very bad with bad 1h.

Large rock or longbow/xbow shadow mimic is extremely good, for example

Possibly -20% hp is a bit excessive, maybe -10hp would be a little more balanced but overall very neat solution. Kudos

On one hand I'll miss the returning brand - the bailey with kobolds and returning tomahawk was alone enough to train some throwing for char even without Oka and Trog. On the other hand throwing has so many problems that anything improves remotely it it's a huge progress. Kudos for your work!

How so? By making me check spell hunger and gold in order not to starve?

It was a semi-joke post, for "caster" he is annoying, but if you play "melee" dudes he removes all the eat chunk mini game which is a great thing.

And for not-Tr-Gh-Vp he actually improves it!

I think adding a cost cost to batform is a good change - maybe simply skill drain would be better to be coherent to other "abilities" but it's a minor thing. However, as already said, I don't see why adding a permanent, "significant" cost to switch state, especially when 'alive' ...

If it is actually good I'd say you may ask to Ultraviolent4 if he can put on http://www.ultraviolent4.com/characters.html

If like 99% of "character guide" is bad, I'd say wiki is the best place.

I'd say: 1) if a char can afford to let a stone giant to run out of his rocks, there aren't big difference if he has unlimited rock. If a char can't afford to face a rock, it doesn't matter if it is one or unlimited. 2) abusing limited rock supply of stone giant and especially cyclops (slow speed yu...

Code:: +10 plate armour "Seicor" {rPois rN+ rCorr}

It's rare to find armor like that on D:7.
But usually it happens when playing something like a Dr.

Not for venom mages imo.

O:1 can still spawn stone giant or ogre magi or even a warlord with a crossbow who are quite deadly for a squishy mage.
Or just the risk of sorceror paralysis or of a warg.
I wouldn't try it early on even with a VM.

How the fuck you get those stat in a game without zig raiding or chei?
(ok a DE can reach 40+ int without too much hassle, or a Dg another stat...)

Code:: d - the amulet "Hykkuhawn" (around neck) {Reflect Fragile rF+ MR+ Str+4 Dex+7 SH+3}.

Ooookay I don't think I'm gonna remove it very soon.

Unreal world is awesome but its "focus" is about survival, exploring etc. Food is a fondumental aspect in game like that (the fact that in unreal world that part is interesting and balanced way game play-wise is only a plus). Dcss "game play" has nothing to do with food, it is on...

Speed and haste\finesse\zerk stack but there's an hard limit of 0.3 to min-delay.

Good catcha, I've discovered just now it's a special case because everyone loves special hidden rules (ok, personally I don't mind them for fixedart)

Code:: the +7 faerie dragon scales (worn) {rCorr Dex-2 Slay+6 Clar}.

Hei my Gn^Dith was already wearing a +6 acid scales, but I don't complain if the Enchantress is lending her fine tuned armour.

Pillar-dancing with untrained fire weapon is far from tactics which new players use. Also I am not sure why but last time I used some flaming weapon it didn't cut heads (it was a hand axe as far as I remember). As far as I know, the chance of cutting a hydra's head with flaming weapon depends on th...

Code:: +11 plate armour of the Townfolk (worn) {rElec rF++ Int+2 Dex+3}

That town surely is rich.

Thank you, from now onwards I'm considering Sinv and a tactical nuke to burn them from afar as absolutely mandatory both in Spider and Zot.

That would solve a lot about vampire-the-blood-minigame, but they would still have 54 different states that would be also more uncontrollable by the player. Really, I am 100% positive that a new race proposal with half of the traits of a Vp - even without all their gimmicks or quirkcs - would be nev...

I wonder how and why a Te^Ash has a -2 cursed club as weapon. Anyway I don't think you're going to find anything worthwhile in the loot at the end of the cave worthy of the very high risk of dying right here and the consumables necessary to kill him. If you want to gamble, I'd quaff agility, use wan...

Holy crap those minivault were even worse than I thought

After that ood spawn was removed yes, theorically the best - aka safest - way for them to clear every level would be to shout and wait on the stairs until virtually everything was lured and killed.

As the title. I'm a dith worshipper who has the ring of umbra in a shop. Would its umbra effects stack with Dith's one?

As said tomb provides an almost unique effect of altering the terrain creating wall - and not only a safe point to rest. It is definitely interesting to use and is it not 100% overpowered as already noticed, you need to be at least 1 square away from enemies. Moveover, personally I consider the most...

I don't have control over where the enemy moves This is not true, for most (any?) monster is possible to determine where is going to move according the position of the player and therefore use terrain at own advantage - e.g. water, flame clouds, shafts and so on. And fight a monster with a dispersa...

I thought the convoker wasn't summoning because he didn't have a flag. I guess his presence should've been enough to make me teleport regardeless. Probably I haven't been clear: if the convoker was in your LOS he wasn't summoning unless he had the "flag". However if that convoker (or anot...

This is the dump of your death: https://underhound.eu/crawl/morgue/petercordia3/morgue-petercordia3-20190212-105633.txt I can't understand anything from the ascii code of the layout of where you were fighting but from the list of monsters it was bad. Too many things at once, many of which could hurt...

I haven't a lot of experience of gaunlets but it seems to me it's likely most normal-power-char should got at least one "path" with reasonable monsters. Obliviously, don't go against hexers if have poor MR, fire immune monsters if a DEFE and so on. Moreover you often land near the next tel...

Yes Death channel works, and I think also Infestation. Necro has even other strong spells which doesn't require corpses at all, such as Agony or BVC.

However, I think that the lack of Animate dead makes the schools not really better in comparison of summon.

^Gozag so necro isn't so attractive as other chars. Everything petercordia said is 100% accurate - plus being slow means meathshield to run away are much more valuable However, I've already played dozens of heavy armor summoners so while it would be the best extra to add to this char I will still pr...

You already said yourself everything. Go and win the game! The only import advice I can give is: your character is already set to win the game - very good offence, decent defences for nw, DD + Makh. The only thing that may kill you is hubris. Play good, and you'll be fine. Don't fight hordes of enem...

I'd just say that 29% (sqrt(50%)) is a very easy and clear formula to tell to new players

Random effects is good early on if you use it while on the stairs, so you can freely nullify its bad results.

Later there are far better and not annoying to use consumables so it's 100% legit to drop it, but potentially it could be kept and used until there's space in the inventory.

You'll tab your first Oof in zot and die

Next time try it on Grinder!

(seriously, don't)

Wands are great and everyone should use them unless they sacrificed artifice for Ru. This. Most probably a DEFE is one of the char that benefits less of wands because he can easily get online ranged attack spells and hex spells with good success rate, which are the two things wands "mimick&quo...

Some thoughts about new Nemelews after a couple of games. First of all: thank you a lot, now this god is playable instead of being a mess of micromaging of items. New form is quite balanced too! Some changes I'd like very much: 1) I loathe the storm card. Infinitely. Early on is very strong but late...

You're right, but the gimmick on cerebov's sword could be just removed and something else eventually added. I think it would be better if *all* resistance had 1 pipe - or immunity when the case - and possibly reduced the damage of the same ratio instead of a different behaviour for each different re...

Before I answer, two questions: 1) Most useful: at soon as it's possible to cast it, considering a 3 runes game, or a 15 runes game? Because e.g. for me in the first case, best 2nd spells should be poisonous vapor, call imp or corpse rot, otherwise swiftness or blink. 2) Most useful: considering opt...

Has ring of shaolin renamed again? Or randart can go so high? I thought their limit was +6 for slay\ac\ev

Could be possible to think a rework of storm card? Its effects are quite weird to be a destruction card: it works sort of escape card, pushing enemies aways, it summons elementals and only deals damage via clouds - which most monsters will avoid. On the other hand, it fucks positioning, do a tons of...

I haven't played yet with those changes, so it's just a speculation: trap triggered when appearing encourages to reveal less new tiles at same time as possible.
This is going to further punish auto-explore, doesn't it?

I don't think this trick will last longer after a dev read about it.
