Useless on heavy armor characters. Useless on light armor characters. What more could you ask for?

I only had 2 runes when I died, I had cleared C and was working through U. Dodging I agree with, that would have helped a lot. Magic-wise though, I couldn't get any better. My summons were already near max power and dumping more XP into casting and magic as a demigod would have been way too expensiv...

Well, I was doing fine. I finished C and cleared U:1-2, got low-ish on U:3 and went upstairs to heal. I died in one turn from 2 ice dragons and a stone giant that for some reason were there within 2 tiles of the stairs even though I completely cleared that floor. As usual the game is a sadistic pile...

So I've got Malign Gateway and Summon Hydra very castable, with Mana Vipers for casters. I figure that should last me through the end of the game, unless I *really* want to use Dragon's Call. What I need to know, is where I should go for my last rune- V:5, Abyss, or Slime. All three have their upsid...

19>15, but the amount of damage taken from MP pool is based on the HP/MP proportion. Less damage goes through MP if the gap is large. Personally I'd go with Vitality.

Okay, so it's not that great of an achievement, it's a minotaur. But it is my third win. I wanted to hit extended for the first time, but the game didn't generate me enough resistances to chance it. I could have abandoned Hep for Zin, but they didn't deserve to be forgotten again, especially after a...

Agreed, definitely code up a prototype. This sounds like a super interesting concept. I'd play it.

So if I'm with Zin and have good resistances, I have good protection for both Hell and Pan, and Pan could be easier. Is TSO always a better choice, or am I good to go with a Holy Wrath weapon and recite/vit/sanctuary?

Edit: I'm talking about my generic MiFi^Zin with axes and shields.

Gotcha, thanks. I forget, is there a deity that protects specifically from hell effects?

Obviously there are tons of different answers depending on build and drops.

Assuming you have all the appropriate resistances, which is a better place to go first?

Definitely Gozag, exploits the fact that you don't need corpses and circumvents your incapability to drink by giving you potion effects.

I'm rather fond of Nemelex myself. Since there are never potions in your inventory you have space for all your decks of cards.

Died in Zot- Pack of quicksilvers and purple dracs, so when I tried to go invisible by potion/ escape by tele scroll, they cancelled it. I didn't consider blink scrolls until it was too late. So, 1. I never used any spells, haha, and I didn't plan on using them either, and I wasn't skilling towards ...

So I lost that MiGl, then I rolled another HOFi^Zin who collected 4 runes and then splatted from a stormcaller dracpack on Zot:1. I was a little discouraged so I rolled up a TrMo^Ru to tab through everything (Despite not wanting to win with Ru again since my GrEE^Ru first win). Tabbing through every...

Update: YASD by ice fiends in ice cave found on Elf:2. :( I'd never seen that Ice Cave layout before (let alone found a portal in Elf), so I didn't heed the early signs and got tormented to death after I tried to engage. Ancestor perished after one hit, so I absolutely should have run. Heck, I only ...

You can donate half your money to Zin regardless of whether you're at an altar. Is that what you meant?

I see. Yea fighting, nay armor. Would I still nix the scarf if I go the 2H weapon route, especially against all the archers in Elf?

Gotcha. I know at the very least I've seen halberds lying around (if I'm remembering correctly RNG has been stingy with all weapons, not just polearms). The only other good armor I have is a +6 scale with rF++, MP-9, Dex+4, I've been wearing that up until toying with going to elf. I was also interes...

So I've been kind of all over the place since I got my hard-earned first win (GrEE^Ru). I refuse to win again with only 3 runes, and I've gotten 3 with a DsFi^Goz and a DsAK^Lug (but died in Slime and Vestibule, respectively). And I've still had better chars since then, but this is my current run wi...

So, HOFi^Zin on D:8. *** piety. Maurice shouts! Maurice casts a spell. Maurice flickers and vanishes! ... You start resting. Something hits you. Something steals all your gold! ... You kill Maurice! Zin accepts your kill. Your Fighting skill increases to level 6! You pay a tithe of 40 gold. You can ...

I vote option number 2. It's simpler and makes more sense (thematically and in practice). The allies-> only elementals change could potentially be interesting but kinda seems like a pain. And it shouldn't be that hard to code (this is a guess) since it's only one tag on allies. We gotta keep the noi...

Update: added some major reworks that should address many of the complaints and suggestions so far.

I roll a HaSk. D:1- Kobold drops +1 dagger of draining. Nice! D:1- Okawaru altar. Nice!! D:2- Buckler, trained to remove penalty by D:3. Nice!!! D:4- Amulet of Magic Regen! This round is gonna be great! 5 turns later... D:4- Steps on a teleport trap. Lands adjacent to two-headed ogre (on D freaking ...

I played 5 consecutive games the other day. Out of those 5, I was shafted 3 floors, 3 floors, 3 floors, 3 floors and 2 floors.

Getting shafted 3 floors down 4 games in a row is the pits. I almost rage quit the fifth, but made it to V:3.

Good points on all counts. Thanks for the feedback, I knew I still had plenty of redesigning to do :lol: For piety, it doesn't have to be unique. "Likes it when you explore the world" would probably be sufficient, and rework the action probability formula. For wrath, I can either change it...

True. I mean, so is Xom though, and Iacchus is supposed to work like a nicer Xom.

Originally he took actions for you with no warning, and I decided that was a bit too RNG-y.

@Sprucery: Yeah, there's a lot of text, I've been working through iterations of this idea for a while, and wanted it to be fully fleshed out. Thanks for the feedback too, that's something I can give up. I thought it wouldn't be an issue since (aside from the trinity and Beogh) Yred and Fedhas are th...

Iacchus the Ascended Once a powerful demigod and heroic adventurer, Iacchus ascended to godhood… only to realize that no battle or duel could now stand against his deific power. No longer in possession of his physical body, craving the danger and challenge of his former life, Iacchus seeks willing v...
