I'm mixed for the most part on the amulet changes so far. For the overall direction, I can get behind amulets being intended to not be swapped, but having more powerful effects in order to bring about new and cooler ideas than the current amulet selection. However, I feel that the anti-swapping mech...

We'd probably have to get rid of those vaults where a bunch of loot and a boss are at the end of a long deep-water corridor, such as one I've seen in Lair. The whole point of those seemed to be trade a consumable for loot. Just replace with lava, it's functionally the same except you might have eno...

There are too many spells in Crawl that are worthless, which is confusing new players. I mean, there are so many options, but a few are so obviously better that you should just always use those ones all the time. Some of the other spells encourage playing incredibly tediously, some have effects that...

I would also rather just see Paralyze Jelly go away, since the only time I use it is in Slime:6 (which I would prefer to be 'unlocked' to translucent rock instead of completely open) and very rarely outside of that. If an ability is still desired though, what about a "Turn/Fear Jelly" abil...

What was the point of the cap in the first place? Also, are you talking straight up no power cap (no hard cap), no arbitrary cap (hard cap 200), or increasing the maximum spellpower? This would be a little logical if it only increased maximum spellpower by a few pips. But entirely removing the cap ...

The idea behind the proposal is to simplify decks for Nemelex worshippers while keeping the decks in a way that allows non-worshippers to still find and use them, especially since the devs have been making efforts at creating unique abilities for cards, which would make decks (if more consistent wi...

I'd like to honor your final request, and I do understand why you would not want to get bogged down in all the issues and controversy surrounding Nem, but I'm not sure it makes sense to talk about deck changes without discussing Nemelex. Put simply, if Nemelex didn't exist, decks probably would not...

Multiple deck qualities (plain, ornate, legendary) are a cool idea in theory, where the fancier the deck, the cooler the effect; when you manage to get your hands on legendary deck, you know you have an extremely powerful tool at your disposal. However, in practice, most players just ignore decks en...

For buffing sif a little, I would rework the miscast protection to additionally refund half of the spent mana whenever it triggers (round down). Because sif is the master of channeling magical energy, it makes sense that she would be able to help you get back some mana from a failed spell I like th...

Sounds like it would be easier to make using the tome of Destruction shout random magic words when used (also, buffing the tome of Destruction).

I would love to see this changed. One thing that would need to be checked if this was implemented is Deep Dwarves: without an MP cap, this could give them an even bigger buff than normal (as the current system subtracts MP they spent recharging after calculating the cap, which gives them a mostly ha...

I haven't quite broken into the active abilities so far, but this god is pretty fun! One thing that has annoyed me so far, however, is that there is a bad interaction between poison and Sacrifice Words/Taste; namely, that it will deactivate and reactivate every tick of poison, and thus stop 5 from a...

Mummies currently suffer from the problem that their early game survivability rate is terrible. Is this really a problem? If you want to argue that the specific ways in which mummies are terrible are in contradiction to the design goals, then fine. But that doesn't seem to be your argument (and I d...

Mummies currently suffer from the problem that their early game survivability rate is terrible. This stems from having multiple downsides: rF- can get them destroyed by a wand of flame or an orc wizard, no potions removes their ability to remove status effects/heal quickly/get an edge, and terrible ...

Bumping with content: updated the ability list to add Potency (potion of brilliance in god power form) to **, and move Counter Cast to **** (since, after thinking about it, would not really see much use until nastier spells come out). Still looking for more feedback before I try to come up with more...

Bumping with an update: I'm still trying to come up with something to fit the **** ability slot, but I'm drawing blanks. I threw up some of my ideas, but I don't really like any of them. I also edited the descriptions of the already-existing abilities. If anyone can come up with something, or you wa...

I like the core concept, but I feel like the god needs more. In particular, the god feels really weak early. I don't like that the god gives a single, extremely situational active ability at the cost of your MP regen until you hit ***. If the entire god's design revolves around a passive, I feel li...

I read through a bunch of ideas flying around for not regenerating MP, and wanted to take a swing at coming up with something that would be an upside to it. I came up with the idea of this god as a result: Retvia The Versatile Retvia is an god who commands a long, forgotten source of wild magic. Tho...
