my favorite form of torment immunity is needles in hell/pan and silence in tomb

edit: I now realize this topic is about casters in extended, I guess silence is a bit less useful in that case

ok I had a look at the source code and it just picks any zombifiable monster based on its possible depth spawn. The function is pick_monster_all_branches in mon-pick.cc if anyone wants to decipher the details

I think in any corpseless branch you get D/U stuff.

I uh don't actually have the knowledge to do that right now

they've been gone for a while

the better question is

would you wear the +66 crystal hauberk (it's a cpa) "Crystal Coffin" {rF--- rC--- rN--- MR--- -Cast -Tele ponderous} (and it prevents you from wearing aux armour)

VeryAngryFelid wrote:Didn't we have a similar thread recently?

Yes. Started by the same user.

If you think you're going to take a lot of damage when you go down, drink some potions that increase your survivability (haste, invisibility, agility, resistance, etc.) or read a teleport before going down so that ideally it immediately goes off when you arrive and you're hopefully in a less bad pos...

Well, I gain MP when I kill. I also think some conjurations are useful even for a summoner, for example if a monster reaches melee range with you and you need to kill him quickly. Sif's MP recovery is as good, if not better and you get it on demand. If a monster gets in melee range summon something...

I forget which one is the one that makes monsters slower, that was the one I meant to suggest

drink brilliance, then cast monstrous menagerie

also why are you using vehumet on a summoner? he doesn't give anything for summons and conjurations mix very poorly with summons (since they'll get in the way of your line of fire...)

yes, we will be adding more low level poison magic, make more things require food, make base enemy speed 11, not let monsters follow the player up stairs and double all floor depths

rip(oste)

note that you can riposte a neutral creature you've pacified under Elyvilon if it bumps into you. have fun!

Getting 6* of piety doesn't matter with sif anymore as she gifts books at 5* now, and she has a standardized piety decay like other gods so getting to 6* requires focusing on the piety gain (but there's no benefit to doing so). the most important threshold to maintain is 3* since that gives you chan...

=R makes the problem worse everytime you want to use one of these rings you have to remember which slot you have to put it on (because they're unrandarts, so the player will likely not have the effects memorized), THEN you have to put the ring on the slot (and god forbid the slot you want to put it ...

it's bad ui, this should be obvious

making the slot you put the ring on matter is a very poor design decision

Here's an example of infinity having to act like a number to yield correct results: Lets say I have a line segment of length 1. There are infinite points on this line segment, so the odds of any given point being picked are 1 out of infinity. Now lets say I have an overlapping parallel line segment...

Ok, here is what I had in mind: 1) Spam high level spells surprisingly early (Shatter as Gr, Tornado as HE etc.). You can do it after Lair with Sif Muna or Vehumet 2) Spam all those rods you found (Sp has great Evo aptitude but still cannot spam them, for example. Other species cannot evoke more th...

why do you think the player fumbles in shallow water?

You get tomahawks of dispersal.

what kinds of number are there that science can`t explain in outer space? Lots. goodcoolguy referenced it earlier, but most of the real numbers can't be described in a finite string of information.

it's a branch on project357 where you are xl 1, you don't gain xp and every enemy is a gnoll, a gnoll sargeant or grum

this topic is why crawl doesn't display damage numbers

you can divide by zero, you can define what x/0 is for any x, the problem is that the actual act of assigning a value fucks up basic tenets of mathematics extremely hard. for example in current mathematics whenever you do something like this: if ab = ac, then b = c you implicitly assume a =/= 0, oth...

If it's just the colour that leads to confusion then they can be recoloured (or roctavian's tormentor recolour can be added???)

Or I guess tormentors can get a new tile too

Large abominations have random colours in consoles.

Edit: nevermind I was thinking of something else

here are the current large abomination tiles: http://i.imgur.com/il7jLCq.png can you indicate which abominations look like the tormentor tile so that they can be edited/removed (which currently looks like this): http://i.imgur.com/z1g9B70.png (rip using the pentagram to highlight demons)

no, it's better to just skin a troll if you want regen armour. just wear leather armour or a well enchanted ring mail for AC the amount you get from healing from vampiric weapons is proportional to the damage you deal, and daggers are shit at damage unless you stab. vampires already get vamp healing...

so the orc learns no spells because they have >50% failure on every spell?

if you can only wear one of them wouldn't it be better to make them amulets?

you know this exists right mon_glyph += <monster name or symbol> : (<colour> <glyph> | <monster name>) , <monster name or symbol> : <replacement> mon_glyph -= <monster name or symbol> (List option) The mon_glyph option allows you to customise the symbol and colour used to display a monster.

Swiftness is your AE escape spell and Static Discharge is your spell that never misses (and it's ridiculously strong), also you start with Repel Missiles those three spells alone can carry you through lair What do you mean?

how is FE better than IE or even AE Easily after getting level 3 spells online. Conjure Flame allows to escape, Sticky Flame rules when you enter a new level and find an adjacent Elephant, Fireball allows to kill packs in the open. IE is better on D:1 of course. Probably I am still a bad AE player,...

it's circus animals

Mock me, and laugh at me. Go on. at your request: I had to farm S, S, Elf, Vaults 1-4, AND some Depths to be able atleast cast glaciate (with still high failure rate) to deal with those pesky resistant monsters. Which is not that important at 3 rune run, but makes all the difference in extended. lol

if you take too much time in-game, elf gets replaced by crypt after the orcs complete their racial purge

if you want a randomized game that's always winnable i recommend solving the sudokus in your local newspaper (remember to use a pen)

that assumes that forks are only created for ideas that have been discussed beforehand, instead of say a completely new idea that the devs haven't heard of

I think cpa can generate with +23?
