Even more in line with other texts in the game would be (Acc +) and (Dam +)

What about a "magic berserk" that doesn't spike damage or create some new pool of MP, but instead casts from HP once MP has run out? Then leaves you sickened afterwards? Edit: I suppose it doesn't do anything about the ability to teleport away or something. What if it gives you just enough...

How about just a door on his vault? You'd be able to shut it and leave if opening the door doesn't wake him.

I think it would make a lot of sense to have other early hut vaults that mimic Yiuf's too. Maybe generate a neutral monster in one that says, "Where'd my hammer go?"

I don't think it places too much of an emphasis on tiles, as there's no actual gameplay difference. If you want to play with graphics, you play tiles. If you don't want graphics, you play console. I would say issues like Stone Golems and Statues have different tiles but the same colored character in...

I'd explicitly be avoiding anything that would conflict with a player's own narrative. I spent a little while reading over the usability projects and noticed how players unfamiliar with Crawl, or unfamiliar with roguelikes in general may not grasp the meaning of the inventory/score screen at first g...

I've noticed this idea a couple different places -- I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to display an image (no larger than Denzi's splash screens for loading) to one side of the score screen, perhaps scooting it off-center to better share space? I was thinking I could make a graphic for that, in any ...

Xom's gender is Xom.

Recently I killed and butchered a duck, and it took me about an hour and definitely took both hands to do. "seems like" reality-based reasoning is a bad measurement for this feature of crawl.

Personally, I just want to point out for everyone that YASN's post is awesome and respectful -- far too many posts recently have been inflammatory or outright hostile. This is a much better way to advocate player interests.

I tend to say "kee koo baa kood guh" and I think it's the most fun-to-pronounce crawl god.

called potions of degeneration, or mutation potions.

I can't believe they're people still bothered by this -- if you've been into Crawl long enough to be attached to a race, I assume that you'd understand Crawl well enough to know that it changes, and that in general it changes for the better. I was sad to hear that dwarves were going because I love d...

They say that if you streak 27 wins with a Mountain Dwarf, a player ghost comes out of your computer and kills you.

It was. I was thinking this could be an opportune time to try out that idea, in a new way.

Maybe they could have, instead, an inherent passwall ability a la the spell, that they grow into at Level 5 or 6? And good Fire Magic apts? Lava Dwarf, perhaps...? Edit: Further thoughts: perhaps a single pip of rF at level 10-12 or somewhere in there, like the Deep Dwarf's rN, or maybe instead of t...

Reaching sword and reaching flail could definitely spice up some uniques. Like Urug could go for a reaching flail, but it may make him too much like Grum. Now that Polearms have inherent reach, could it be possible to implement a throwing weapon with inherent returning? I'm envisioning, perhaps, a b...

I'm mostly going to miss them for flavor purposes. Who doesn't want to be a dwarf?

Funny, I didn't realize that! Many of those tiles had chopped-off body parts as well, so at least I feel I got something useful done. At least they don't take long. Also, I'm a terrible Crawl player, so I haven't to the Crypt since I started playing trunk (only about a month or so)! I also only rece...

Thanks for the nice words, everybody! I've uploaded more tiles but I'll refrain from posting them here, from now on, as I now know there's plenty of feedback on Mantis. I have a few questions, however -- the bones-floor bones-wall tileset, the one that is used in the Crypt, is common throughout the ...

I just kind of went ahead and uploaded this and I'm not sure if I should have asked anyone first. I thought I'd make a thread to see if the proposal would be welcome, or if it would be welcome with some tweaks?

I just want to chime in -- I really like the idea of making summon elemental more interesting, and a better choice for fire/ice casters overall. How about a smite-targeted "Summon Fire Elemental" spell: it summons a fire vortex on an empty tile, but summons a fire elemental from a flame cl...

Rather than make a new slot, couldn't bracers be used to diversify the gloves slot? i.e. it would be another step along the line, like helmets->caps. I figure that since there's three steps in each body-slot affecting mutation, they should remove armor options in three steps as well. Thus it could g...

Exactly. Fire crabs and mottled dragons punish you for bad tactics. Traps punish you for...bad luck. I think this is essentially what feels wrong about this new trap situation. Certainly nobody is forcing players into certain decisions at gunpoint (or trap-point) but the apparent randomness of item...

Maybe BA could also impart wings or hooves randomly? Thus sometimes it isn't a combat bonus but instead helps you run away? That's probably making one spell do too many things, so perhaps more realistically there should be a new level 2 spell that helps transmuters get away? Maybe something like Tm/...

I never considered this a problem before, but I noticed while spectating on Webtiles the other day that players who understand the "mindless undead can't follow up/down stairs" rule don't necessarily notice that skeletal warriors and bone dragons are an entirely different kind of creature....

I've always liked the idea of the Moon Troll race since I read it on the dev wiki -- I would play the hell out of a race like this. Currently, there isn't a strong distinction between Rock Trolls and Deep Trolls -- deep trolls see invisible, come in packs (sometimes), and are marginally weaker. The ...

I think the auto-pickup interface and other interface tweaks are the best thing to see implemented in 0.10. Also are there plans to just call it version 10 or something and drop the 0.? I've heard people say "it's not supposed to represent a development toward 1.0" but I think it makes a l...

You could make it hexes/air and make the fluff some kind of static barrier/galvanizing effect, which would make noisiness make sense.

Here's an idea I just had - what about a high-level hex (perhaps 6 or 7) that smite targets (perhaps an individual, perhaps a group) and animates weapons right out of enemy hands? Another idea I had was a mid-level, perhaps 4 or 5 hex that compels one target to hit itself? Not a chance to hit itself...

In my opinion, Mephitic Cloud's functionality - an AOE confusion spell - works better for a Hexes-school spell, whereas its form in the game - a cloud of gas that cause confusion - works more for Conj/Air/Pois as-is. I would suggest removing Mephitic Cloud and putting a Hexes, probably a Hexes/Somet...

Ever since the Enchantments split, Hexes has been sitting in the corner like a problem child, while we all whisper about its shortcomings. No longer! We call Hexes to the front of the class. Note that I'm including anything I find, thus we have many mutually-exclusive proposals present here. Wiki En...
