Dont forget a "REEEE" ability. Maybe a berserk that replaces your str with int.

"Yeah all of these arguments against ghosts in portals really just boil down to arguments against ghosts, period" Ordinary ghosts dont seal off parts of the game, because u just use stairs to avoid them. the specific combination of portal+ghost turns ghosts from "flavorful annoyance/f...

+1 for riverrats, and rename them Cranium Rats too.

This thread is for those who wish to initiate, or formalize, a committed relationship with any of the uniques (male or female) from Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. Some basic ground rules: 1) No cheating. That means no relationships with real life individuals, and no having multiple waifus. If you split ...

After all, Skynet needs to start somewhere.

That was a good game. Some guy even wrote a short story based on it.

The super trollish intent of whatever dev created shafts is right there in the name.

"You fall through a shaft!" aka you are shafted.

SHAFTED. The game literally shafts you.

How much more are we players expected to endure before we simply SNAP and overthrow the GDs?

I am usually the first to slam the mods here but today I'm going to go out a limb and defend them. They have clearly been doing a good job or else the extremely trollish userbase of this forum would not be so upset. The fact that jimmies have been rustled points to them actually doing their jobs for...

Unburden yourself. Don't play at work. Do your chores. Pay your bills. Perform a good deed everyday.

OP says this but username is RemoveElyvilon. How supposed to do good deed when can no longer heal other dungeon inhabitants?

Stasis is the only suggestion i like here, but too bad it overlaps hibernation and petrify

Jivya buff should be higher ranked, slimify is a god tier ability.

Also invert all the drawback corners and rename to permissiveness.

But overall, really cool charts.

Has anyone ever noticed that this forum at quite regular intervals gets some new-ish account expressing strong, idiosyncratic opinions in a (new) weird way that seems somewhat manufactured? Some of these accounts stick around and some don't, but this does seem to happen more than I'd expect given t...

I dunno about difficult, but I always find Cocytus 7 really tedious... lots of crossing or moving around water, lots of luring, and the enemies arent all that interesting. Give me a good hell sentinel or iron giant any day.

There is an inappropriate content on this board. Hurry and find it before the thread is locked! Mind the smell.

Strong FR. Signature also high tier.

Anyone else feel like there should be sexual content in crawl? It seems the natural next step now that there are more female uniques. I must admit, encountering a succubi in nethack was one of the most intensely liberating experiences of my otherwise-repressed youth. Nethack was one of the few matur...

To make crawl real-time instead of turn-based?

Like, make each monster move/attack a few times a second based on its speed, regardless of what the player is doing.

I, too, was not mentioned in the OP.

And maybe even work full time on the game so we get even more FUN! halfbaked gods!

Triple EXP on holidays would be a good start.

I think it would be cool if you could pay a small amount of money, say $1.99, to instantly get a random artifact dropped into your game. Also, you should be able to buy add-on paks to add mountain dwarves, djinni, and other races designed for maximum fun. Also, some skins for our player icon would b...

I feel the same way about felids, my friend. I see other posters trashing them.. saying that the volk would be better off if Felids were quietly patched out of the game. I never spoke up. I was... afraid to. But your brave post has inspired me to step into the light. I will remain silent no longer. ...

Disagree. I think all normal dungeon floors should function like labyrinth currently does. No 'o' spam and a cool boss and treasures on every floor!

so you can have your mutless game if you want but the cost for it is no faith etc. ever.

Elegant. I like it.

Since runed doors are always part of a vault, a player willing to look at .des files always knows what is behind a runed door. They should just be translucent. Why not just have some of the monster spawns in a vault be random? That way the player isn't 100% sure what is behind the door, thereby jus...

Clearly the solution here is to create a new alchemy based god!

Thief god: Likes: Discovering new items/gold Dislikes: Inaction - piety: Passives: You instantly detect any trap in LoS * piety: Elusiveness bonus: Gain 1 stealth pip and 1 EV per star of piety (max of +6 stealth pips and +6 EV) Pilfer: 1 square range, single target.

Higher crossbow aptitude pls. Yaktaurs and crossbows are practically synonymous.

I just think CBlink is pretty good, though there's a very limited set of characters that I'd actually learn it on. The set of my characters that would get PArrow is available is much wider. Haste, statue form, simulacrum, iron shot, death channel... if poison arrow was better than these spells, if ...

dowan wrote:Too random for DCSS? What version of this game have you been playing?

The version where every other amulet has a consistent or evocable effect. Rather than one based on a continual low% die roll you have no control over.

You left out controlled blink. Part of you knows I'm right. Part of you knows I'm right.

Sure, why not? Here is a restatement of why I think Poison Magic is bad. snipped for length, but I'm curious, why is it important that VM is just as good as the other book backgrounds? We're okay with gods and species that have different relative power levels, so why should backgrounds be balanced?...

Don't fragile items prompt before letting you swap?

I tried. I tried to make PM better. I poured sweat, blood and tears into that GD proposal. But did anyone listen? Did anyone care ? No! It's all, "bruh, poison arrow is the best damage in the game vs orb guardians. Ought to be a lvl 7 spell" and "acid doesn't belong in poison" an...

There seems to be a rule that every god name starts with a different letter and TSO is '1'.

Poison magic similar to the torture that Sisyphus must endure. Its a magic school full of promise, that exists only to taunt tavern goers into making proposals to improve it. Proposals which will then be cruelly mocked and shut down. And so the cycle of torment continues. Why did the devs put PM the...

No one cares about that from what ive seen

Nerf all enemies on d1-5 and buff all hell/pan enemies imo.

Make late game great again

Dismissal should just be evocable disjunction with some kind of downside... A random% chance of moving enemies away from me... Not consistent, not cotrollble, not fun. Its decently strong but too random and non skillful for a game like dcss.

I always thought the quest part of nethack was cool. You have to do a special mission for your god. And if you succeed you get a sweet artifact that only members of your religion can use.

Why This Proposal: - All the dcss tavern members are really looking forward to having even more new gods developed and enter the game (trust me on this) - Cool thematic idea - Provides unique cooking based playstyle. Focuses on temperatures, preparing meals (using immol and frozen to achieve after-k...

Cool concept! Few issues that i can see:

1- the 3 star controlled passage of golubria is super strong... Should be large piety if u insist on keeping it

2- +2 apt is crazy... Change to +1 please

I just experienced a release as well

Remove vampires if you must but plz no "regen while bloodless" vampires. Would make early late game absurdly easy.

Go to a corridor. Summon some stuff. Kill TRJ with your preferred method. The corridor->summons method of killing TRJ is one of those *crucial* spoilers. It combines the worst of all words, unintuitiveness, game engine limitation, and extreme binariness (if you dont know this TRJ is pretty hard, if...
