the *Fragile solution is a bit odd in that it could conceivably cause someone to want to collect more than one amulet of harm, using them as consumable damage boosts right before using powerful and limited damaging effects. I could see the argument that the player could technically be encouraged to...

You are a great player. If you looked at the ttyrec of the one instance of me using Death's Door that game, you would quickly retract that statement. You are still a great player, I believe that amulet can be treated as self-imposed challenge. I think amulet of harm made Death's Door expiration eve...

I've seen just a single character who benefited from harm, it was megazigger of Piginabag with darkness, tornado and powered by death 3. There are no characters who would equip the known amulet before Lair, or in Lair, or in Orc, or in Lair branches or in Vaults. Here's one. I put on an artifact am...

N. Philosophy (pas de faq)
Rembrandt, 1659

What about monsters that move and attack at different speeds, or Juggernauts? Also, won't this be a bit of a lie because of energy randomization and slight variation in attack delay due to different weapon types used by enemies? Energy randomization could be handled by adding '...can usually perfor...

I feel that, if monster speed remains as granular as it currently is, it should be displayed on the xv screen with a "This monster can perform an action once every x auts." or something similar, instead of using relative adjectives based on the player's speed. This gives the player better ...

I think that's Croases' that you were referring to, but I'll take the credit.

Interesting idea, but I would change this: Maces/Flails and Staves gain Disengage: When moving directly away from a monster, the monster is violently pushed back two squares and dealt 1.5 times weapon damage. From the context, it looks like a passive ability rather than an activated (piety costing) ...

Based off/stolen from Classic Programmer Paintings Step 1: Find a classical painting (or any art, I'm not your boss). Step 2: Re-name it to something Crawl related. Step 3: Don't forget the credit line, that makes it look official. I like linking the paintings because I respect tables and don't wish...

I would also accept purple being 100% random, with only Xom/Jiyva/benemut using any other weighting.

I would have voted for heavy contamination to also be fun if they weren't a potential result of Hell effects or Zot traps. Do you mean you like mutations only? https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=13872&p=192716 Pretty much. I would happily lose !cMut and leave mutation remo...

I find it much more entertaining to deal with a permanent downside inflicted upon myself by my own poor decisions vs ones foisted on me. I would have voted for heavy contamination to also be fun if they weren't a potential result of Hell effects or Zot traps.

Short duration Charms just encourage setting yourself up at the beginning of every fight the exact same way (unless there is a legitimate downside to doing so), even if it lowers recasting while walking around. The proposal of permanent Charms with a max MP loss just keeps bringing up how easily abu...

You are working on the wrong ends man I consider my job to have a pretty heavily regulated coding environment, but at one point I had to deal with a broken custom PDF export function, from a co-worker who had just left, that had all of the variables named after memes and converted into German for s...

Brogue avoids specific damage feedback though... your health bar just goes down. At least in Crawl I know I can die in 1 turn because I know how much HP I have and I can ask beem to query sequell and remind me how much damage a monster does because having this ingame would be problematic. In Brogue...

Maybe it would take that long, but crawl has been in development for longer hasn't it. I'm not saying it will be easy but it's the best thing to do for the game Any positive rewrite would be the best for Crawl's codebase, yes. What I'm saying is that you aren't likely to get that based on the estim...

Human Enchanter
Artemisia Gentileschi, 1620

if someone were to rebuild crawl, possible create an engine for it so that you don't have to directly change the source code (I know huuuuge stretch ) so that it's easier for people to create there own concepts or maybe and entire fork would be far more beneficial then this current system, even if ...

Dpeg there is really no reason besides time and money that crawl can't be written over Bolding mine; these are two pretty big reasons for a volunteer project. As he stated, the issue is finding volunteers who are willing to do nothing but spend time recreating what already exists, for an end result...

I vote for Brainfuck.

Getting rid of chunks and make monsters sometimes drop permafood that you can only eat while "hungry" would be an easy first step that lets you automate everything without losing piety. Can we make that change first and worry about exactly what form hunger should take later? Unless you me...

Hunger in Rogue existed solely as a timer system to force you to continue diving the dungeon at a consistent rate so as to prevent the player from grinding on weak monsters forever (as all monsters would continue to give you experience no matter your level, if it is a pitiful amount). Many of the 'o...

What about current "w" command? It allows derived undead to attack out of view (at least in 0.18). It would make more sense if no allies were able to attack outside of LoS to make it more consistent, honestly. If there needs to be a special case (and I don't think there needs to be), then...
