Ironic and sarcastic comments of duvessa/minmay are not unusual. This behaviour has been discussed several times in the last years in this forum.

Don't worry! It has nothing to do with you.

What is the word of the year 2016 in The Tavern?

Well, running away with 2 HP into unknown parts of the level would have been a better chance to survive.

Once again I'm attached to DsCK. Yes I know, Ds start a bit weak and Xom is not the right one to compensate for this. Imo you need some luck in the early game to survive. For example, this game started pretty nice: 1225 | D:3 | Killed Crazy Yiuf And I got Yiuf's cloak and +4 quarterstaff of chaos. G...

A slight buff to mummies and lichform would be to make both immune to confusion.

papilio wrote:Lichform lv 8->6

Imo lichform is better than some people in this forum usually say. However, these people are partially right because lev 8 eats a lot of XP. On the other hand, lev 6 is too cheap.

What about making lichform a lev-7 spell?

removeelyvilon wrote:no, [lignification] doesn't meld your claws. neither does statue form, for that matter.

In statue form your troll will have something like 30 - 35 AC which is more than enough to deal with a hydra. With decent UC you'll just tear the 4-headed 5-headed 6-headed 7-headed hydra into pieces.

Ds is a very popular species and there are lots of discussions in The Tavern about Ds mutations, the most recent was Make monstrous DS grow claws first .

A few questions You gave one answer yourself: I'm enjoying extended with this guy. Alright, continue. Don't play the way you think you should, play the way you like! That's also kind of general philosophy and doesn't only concern crawl. The game is technically won - but you are not familiar...

I also have the problem that playing spell-less always gets me killed. I don't think I have ever even gotten a rune while worshipping Trog That's surprising.

Hey, I've got an idea! What about werewolves in crawl? Make them a class which prefers unarmed combat. Werewolves are magicians who specialise in Transmutations magic. They are best described as kung-fu mad scientists, but initial survival is quite a challenge for them. Choosing werewolf adds 2 to y...

Also, I've only ever done vaults as my 3rd rune without every venturing to the Abyss or Slime so I'd like to know if they would be easier than V:5 In earlier versions of crawl the silver rune was a no-brainer as third rune, some players even did it as their first (which was possible in these times)...
