I want to highlight these two statements. The OP's point, and the point of the thread, is about (I think) trying to give people all the information they need to make decisions. It is a very unusual case indeed where having the knowledge of GDR and how it works will actually lead you to alter a decis...

I had no idea that my defenses are different if I had an early ring of robustness on an ogre at D6 as opposed to an ogre that had a +2 steam dragon armor and a +2 cloak. They are not different in this case provided you meant +0 robe for the former. Even in an extreme case of Troll Leather Armour + ...

One of the design goals of crawl is to obfuscate information to prevent this sort of analysis. You are meant to make decisions through intuition rather than reasoning. This is what I love about crawl. I like that sense of reasoning. I like to be aware of a mechanic more than I need the numbers. I h...

it is significant when comparing armors It actually isn't! I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. When i compare a +x leather to a +y ring mail, i attempt to intuit (in no particular order) (1) If the defenses are similar, (2) competing brands, (3), impact on spellcasting, armed and unarmed melee a...

Hi, I'm edge. I have 2 wins, a few hundred games played, read this forum regularly, and have heard GDR (always as GDR) mentioned often but never knew exactly what it was. In the major background trimming thread Cragspyder said the following, and it somewhat resonated with me. (use of all caps has be...

The trick to ogre in general and ogre be in particular is getting your first dragon armor. You catch a break as soon as you have > 10 large rocks. As an OgBe you become offensively strong really quickly. You don't become defensively strong til later though, and what is non damaging popcorn to many m...

I just finished a sneaky felid run for my second win. Level 19 no less! I switched to jelly god and snagged the slime rune before doing shoals. I'm not sure switching was a good choice, my spell selection was pretty awful, mostly just some hexes. I never found !curemut though, and was slowly racking...

I got a FeBe going now too, end of lair, and its really simple. I found a ring of invis and have murdered lair. I've never played a stealthy char with early invis, it is everything it sounds like. I feel a small amount of vengeance for being a newbee and getting murdered by unseen horrors before I u...

Spectal Dark Maul sounds incredible. The Dark Maul in general is one of my favorite weapons. I picked it up on an amazing ogre who died with ~10 runes when zig spawned mummy floor on 24.

Both are really good weapons, though I have a feeling the GSC will serve you better in most dangerous situations and certainly on Zot:5 and extended if you do that. I am more worried as to why you would want to do this? Was thinking on a jiv switching fun run, and I still may troll the abyss for an...

Solid Little Ogre here. Was messing around looking for jelly altar, cleared out all of slime minus vault room/TRJ with next to no trouble thanks to large rocks. Never found altar, didn't matter because trogg hadn't gifted me a GSC yet. Fast forward through most of depths, spider, to the Hall of Blad...

So, if I train up to invo 27/stupid higher than anything else and switch to jiv, I'll be a royal jelly?

Ignite Blood + Shield of Reflection + vaults 5 was some of the most fun I have ever had in crawl.

When I am in the mood to play a flexible "play with what the dungeon gives me" character, I generally play demonspawn.

Last week, I tried a number of HESk named Huey Lewis while I played it on Pandora while I had the flu. I never made it to Lair. I doubt this helps with your character development. Turns out I am horrible at HESk.

Switched to Makh. Cleared out two zigs last night, mostly tabbed through the second one. The most dangerous floor on zig 2 was actually lair, I got petrified and brought down to <20. I have stupid amounts of slaying now, should be cake through the rest of extended. VSBe short blades/throw is the onl...

Ok, so I got distracted with work. On Weapons: I have a +9 quick blade of freezing I can switch if I need to. If I tso switch I can rebrand, but I don't know if that is optimal. To be honest, this guy has crazy damage output anyway, the if he dies it isn't because he can't bring down threats fast en...

Trog Gifted me a randart quick blade and I don't need him anymore. Thinking on switching gods to extended, not sure, just cleared out depths. Also have questions about Body Armor (Dragon King vs this chainmail, the shields. Will elaborate soon. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.15.1 (tiles) charact...

They do kick in much slower (80% chance of 40+d10*10 aut being added to the delay). That doesn't mean you don't still want to teleport in abyss. I often want to teleport, but the teleport does not want to teleport me :D I only do the Abyss with characters that are going for 15 runes, and I almost a...

Been having a great run up to this point, but I need to prep this necro for less necro friendly turf, as I am looking to go extended. Cleared Swamp, Spider, Depths, Elf, and about to go into vaults. My main long term questions are as such: Orange Crystal Plate is available in a shop for 4500, which ...
