Gods should take back weapons/items they gift you when you leave.

I use rods as additional damage before I switch to my 'real' weapons whether they be spells or sword. Hell sometimes you can even kill just with the rods if they're something like Rod of Ignition or Rod of Clouds. Pekalas lets you use them to even greater effect.

Aren't these from when Pekalas was super bugged?

Making curses make items worse (i.e. changing rF+ to rF-) does nothing except punish players even more for wearing un-identified equipment without remove curse. That's the point. It's why you shouldn't quaff random things you find on the floor because you might get mutated or degenerated. Or readin...

http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=commit;h=dbab4ee685ab4b05a1684d4e1dcd9cb8ddeb1a1a Ranged combat was overpowered anyway. Note that only ammo for launchers (other than blowguns) was changed, Javelins/Tomahawks/Needles still have brands. I don't agree with this change at all. It's not like ranged...

The last time I worshiped Jivya I had a game where I would slimify all the uniques instead of killing them. It probably left me under-leveled but having Sigmund the slime eat items for you was great.

What about say compared to Spirit Shield? The other day I had a choice between Amulet of Vitality and Spirit shield amulet...

I will say that my last run in with Caustic Shrikes was much less game ending but I had absurd shield and armor skill with a GDA and Large shield.

The early game is so random and it's easy to lose a character due to bad generation or just bad drops in general. Especially for certain mages that only have a few shots to kill an enemy with their level 1 spell before they get their face eaten off. Anything past Lair aside from a few save or die si...

The only buff they really need is Sticky flame resistance, and maybe making sticky flame breath being ranged like the monster version which would be unique.

Code:: V - the +0 ring mail of Cuunt {rPois rF+ Str+4} (You found it on level 2 of the Lair of Beasts) It affects your strength (+4). It protects you from fire. It protects you from poison.

You wot, Crawl?

When I was using my Earth Elementalist I actaully eventually had both learned. I could occasionally see the need to have one more tile of range, or to have more power. Though it became moot when I could just shatter everything. I never could decide between the two.

Here's my proposal. Change curses to a themed flavor depending on what the item is. A curse should both be detrimental and annoying. Every item should inflict a negative effect when you unequip it and have a passive effect. In addition curses should REVERSE the positive effects of an item until they...

What's with this recent obsession with 'spoilery' stuff anyway? I'd rather play a game where I learned something every day whenever I played rather than one that I can figure out everything from the start.

Early game cursed items should be relatively normal to remove. But later game should have more consequences. Even if it's something like draining.

Speaking of curses, Mummies should have better curses too.

Someone got stuck.

When I walk out of the Orc Mines with the entire population in tow.

Spoiler: show

Incidentally, anyone have any ideas where I should take them?

Is there a particular reason why tapping Numpad directionals moves you all the way in that direction instead of one at a time? Before I think it was Shift+Move direction to do so?

Similar to OP...

Used a Gale fan then the Air elementals decided... F*** PLANTS.

But that's all the god does, what is there to nerf? The whole point is being use to spam multiple potion effects at once since that is his one power that consumes a sensible amount of piety and is situationally useful enough to be considered. He does somewhat increase loot accessibility in a very p...

I'm aware, It just felt far easier than it should have been. I had so much gold I could spam potions every time I wanted to, and still had enough to Bribe Zot (Which didn't QUITE work out as well as I hoped, just an FYI.)

Ahem. >.>, I think Gozag REALLY needs to be nerfed.

Petition potion power? I've got a Mummy Fighter that I've been keeping alive by abusing this fact and it seems a bit silly for Gozag to be the one exception to the "No potions" rule of mummies.

Sigmund zaps a wand. You hit Sigmund. Sigmund is almost dead. You bite Sigmund! You kill Sigmund! Trog accepts your kill. Trog appreciates your killing of a magic user. Your Armour skill increases to level 2! Your Stealth skill increases to level 1! You have reached level 4! You feel clever. Sigmun...

I thought the max was 3 per level?

One thing I dislike about TOME is how freaking EASY it is to break. Once you have regen equipment or the Regen passive you'll almost always out regen your enemy's damage.

Basically I'm wondering how well stacking absurdly high evasion with enemy inaccuracy would be, specifically from the new god in Trunk. It certainly feels more survivable but I'm curious about the numbers behind it.

For an early game Example... You just killed a unique of some kind and are low health. You go into the Dormant state and begin resting. Meanwhile an adder comes into view then passes by while you're resting. You wouldn't really need to do any backtracking to heal since enemies would just treat you l...

I think the idea is cool, if it was reworked and done right. I was thinking it could potentially be used as an out of combat regen 'safe' ability. You spend an upfront cost of Hunger to go into a 'rest' state where enemies will ignore you and you regenerate your health and MP. You can't move, attack...

Code:: You see here a sack of spiders.

(This gif would be more appropriate if I was playing an Octopede.)

It went away after about a thousand turns of Resting and almost dying to wandering orcs because my EV was 0. D:

So I cure the negative Dex with a restore abilities pot, but my EV is still 1 and I still have the Clumsy status effect. I tried clearing what's left of the level, but the next floor has Gastronok and Maurice next to all three of the stairs and I dare not fight them like this.

Wat do?

I don't know they just feel SO 'off' to me. They introduce so many new unique mechanics that you have to either read up on to fully understand how to use them or die several times in a row trying to figure out how it works. If all the races had something highly unique about them like Dijinni or Lava...

Other than the reduced satiation there's no difference between contaminated chunks and clean chunks now.

Food is way too forgiving, especially with the loss of Nausea. Hunger SHOULD be a major concern beyond spending time in one spot. I have a radical suggestion... Make 'Permafood' rot. Not nearly as fast as chunks. But it still should. This would make some foods more appealing to keep for a long term,...

Why is it being removed? o.o, I Never considered it that annoying.

An interesting new level I found in 0.12. It had A LOT of enemies, and a lot of loot everywhere plus several shops. In addition it had portals to Pandemonium, Hell, and the Abyss.

Though it started off as a bit of a joke character, I was surprised at just how good it was. Recently though I found a scroll of Acquirement and wished for Armour. I got a +7 Scale mail of Uwkex. rF+, -1 Int, Stealth++. Both before and after I wear it it says I'm 'extraordinarily stealthy'. It's a d...

It functions early on exactly like the old Evaporate... a mass confusion tool. It makes early dungeon completely trivial.

Axes need a change of some kind... They are WAY too powerful with a natural cleave attack. It should be an Evokable attack with a higher hunger cost and slightly lower damage.
