46. Elvyvilon gets serious: he will occasionally break the weapons of those who refuse to be pacified. This may cause shrapnel and potentially deadly wounds, further inspiring those present to obey the will of the Peacemaker (also the name of the B-36 strategic bomber, which never fought a war, but ...

Quatzal or whatever his name would have been a good candidate to adding elemental flavour to unarmed attacks. A conjuration/charms spell could do the same for a small amount of time, however. Maybe it would be better to work in this direction. Adding some artefacts with flavours would also be nice.

BTW, long blades cross trains with short blades, and axes cross trains with m&f. I have sometimes gone to the Lair with a sb in lack of a flaming lb, and it didn't go badly. Even for weapon users, this means that there are alternatives. The only problem I couldn't solve was with a troll fighting...

It's probably useful if you are cast in the Abyss, if it affects wretched stars.

Catana: ancient sword which may only be found on Natasha.

Finding a demon whip outside Crazy Yiuf's hut. I didn't even know it was possible.

Substitute lajatang with katanang. Turn the Autumn Katana into the Fall Katana: it automatically deactivates flight when crossing deep water or lava. Double Swords renamed to Big Sharp Diapason. Bastard Swords are like Singing Swords but fuckin' mean. Rename Cerebov's Sword into Checkov's Gun: it br...

39: Double Worship (TSO + Zin) The final gift granted by worshipping TSO and Zin at the same time, as described in #5: You activate both of their final gifts at the same time, on the same target. If you target a demonic weapon, TSO will change it into an eudemon blade, while Zin will remove this mut...

Sorry, I can't remember who TLH is (the Lightning Hammock?)

One of my hidden wishes is having dragons occupying a tile and half, although they aren't uniques. It's just that dragons are cool. Anyway, there already is the Serpent of Hell for them.

31. Scroll of tampering: Randomly changes a number of numerical variables in the game code for the duration of the game. Gifted by Xom if extremely bored.

Turn jellies into candies, turn TRJ into pudding, turn death jellies into blood pudding, turn blue jellies into Irish coffee, rename Slime Pits into Refreshing Stop and Jiyva into Willy Wonka.

I once thought that getting a god was a thing for the late game.

The ability of fitting in a single square could be added to all tiny monsters, as long as they are of the same kind. Or maybe not, since killer bees are terrifying enough as they are. But such an ability would be useful for weak pack monsters (bats, flying skulls, rats...)

28. When a red, a jellow, a purple, a blue and a black draconians are all adjacent to each other, they can merge to become Megazord.

I would remove wielded weapon use entirely, and allow large rocks and javelins as only throwables. Why? Because the guy would have no opposable thumbs. Smaller things are just too hard to handle. No giant in the game uses shields (AFAIR), so I also would make shields unusable. Since he's so big (2 s...

About octopodes: there are 2 things I thought of. The first is: octopodes have a lot of tentacles. They could use more than one tentacle to constrict monsters larger than medium. 2 for large, 4 for big, 8 for giant. This means that they would not be able to grab 2 iron dragons, but they could constr...

And how large the radius of the explosion of inner flame is, and how powerful. I like the presence of different sizes. I would like it better if it did a bigger difference, like adding reach for very large monsters. It's true that understanding the difference between small and little isn't possible ...

Having stairs allow all monsters in LOS to follow the PC, appearing one by one on the upper floor after those adjacent to him, would make stairdancing less safe and give it more of a tactical value, as it would give some initial breathing room, but also allow packs to reunite on a different terrain....

26. Rename all tengu to pidgeons.

Looks like I broke in during a marriage ceremony, with Menkaure helping Dowan officiate and a griffin acting as a witness.

Ladies and Gentlement, we have a new 1-floor branch: Panghostonium!

Crazy Yiuf actually looks like the kind of guy who gets a lot of action.

That's canon.

Unnnnnconfortable.

Yes, but not knowing where they are makes it difficult

Are boggarts still invisible?

How can a melee character handle them? The only thing I can think of is knowing the AI or having a way to produce clouds, but not everyone has those. Right now, it seems to me that removing see invisible would need to make permanently invisible monster rarer, so that they can be made visible by luri...

I agree that having an ability which can't be directly used on an enemy automatically target an enemy doesn't make sense.

You could even justify it in lore. "The Orb will call the stronger ghosts closer to herself, turning would-be-thieves into guardians."

23. Wood Magic Enter a new elemental school: based on ancient to Chinese texts, we are proud to present wood magic! Spells like Throw Trunk, Splinter and Barricade will help you overcome the difficulties in the run for the Orb of Zot. Miscasts involve summoning living, flesh-eating furniture, gettin...

Isn't just any goblin with a weapon of distortion much worse (if they still exist)? Anyway, there could be a "detect vault" function in autoexplore. The first time you see a tile belonging to a vault, exploration stops and a message appears: You notice a change in architecture. I don't see...

Is he really that dangerous? After all, most uniques don't have runed doors, and Yiuf isn't the worst of the lot.

Maybe some cemetery vaults could be added, with a variable number of depth appropriate levelled ghosts. Other ghosts could be limited to Hell, Tomb, and Pandemonium, where you already need good survivability. I also like a massive number of player ghosts spawning while running with the Orb.

14. Motherly Gods They will periodically ask you why you never invoke them and feel hurt when you don't pick up their gear ("You feel a wave of distant sadness") 15. New Item Ego: +respect This item vocally requests to be accepted as it is. You may only identify it by wearing it - otherwis...

Uh... add a bunch of ranged spitting cobras who cause blindness, as wearing 2 to 4 amulets of inaccuracy and a penalty to EV and SH, with antennae halving the penalty?

Not to be taken seriously. 1. Bananas There is a chance that the fruit you eat is a banana. Right now, the character will eat the peel. The PC should instead eschew the peel, and it will appear in a random tile beside it. The next bipedal creature to walk on the tile will fall on an adjacent square,...

River rats work well in sewers, but have nothing special in the Lair, and I also find them kinda boring. Maybe they could inflict sickness?
There could also be some "wailing rat" or somesuch that can hasten the others, and call in bigger, badder foes while the PC is swamped by little rats.

Is there a way to change which items are auto-picked up in-game? Like saying, I already have rings which give me magic resistance, stop picking them?

To me spider, because I usually get there when I don't yet have a decent weapon to use against emperor scorpions (I tend not to leave the last level for later). Otherwise, Vaults can be ugly because of Wardens, but, otherwise, I just attempt using a scroll of immolation and, when I think it's run ou...

It would be fun. Maybe it could be a special mode for DC, like the dungeon sprints. Altars always appearing on D:1, somewhat faster piety growth, exp cap at 14, maybe 1 random temporary gate + 1 random branch 1 or 2 levels deep with some loot and a single, better stocked market, and, once the orb is...

I once grabbed a cursed club on D:1 and starved.

I also had a DDFi named Zeus and was very excited about him, because he had reached D:7 and I thought the Orb was in D:10.

I: Imodium, Goddess of Constipation. Grants Iron Shot at expense of HP.

I had previously won only once with a Demonspawn Berserker (3 runes), now I have made my first 15 runes ascension :D I really liked Ru, I think I had never used him before. It is a very clear-cut give and take deal. It was also the first time I dabbled in magic with an armoured character, which is w...
