YASD: Gods I hate blade traps.

He was doing so WELL. Draconian Paladin, carefully nursed into a terrible holy warrior that scattered the wicked before him. Sweet randart jewellery. A demon whip, raised on a steady diet of enchant weapon scrolls before its recent conversion to a scourge. Dragon armour from an early level! Aaarg.
Ran into a nasty crowd, teleported near death into ANOTHER nasty crowd, kept alive with neat positioning until another teleport and a swift exit downstairs. Breathed sigh of relief. Nudged 'round a corner to heal in peace. Bisected by a blade trap.

I'm naturally a little bitter about the things right now, but what is the reasoning behind blade traps? They don't add much flavour, you just occasionally lose a big chunk of health. They're of no significance when you're healthy, but when you're truly desperate, they might just kill you out of nowhere.

Re: YASD: Gods I hate blade traps.

Ouch, unlucky!! I'd be just as annoyed, but I do like the old blade trap. It reminds me how unforgiving Crawl can be sometimes ;)

I always hum a little of the "Indiana Jones" theme when I come across one of those and it misses me.

I don't know that there's a reason other than being the hardest-hitting mundane trap.

I do like setting up a killzone just behind one, though. Dumb monsters lose one third of their health on the way over, and "smart" monsters will refuse to step on the trap while I plink them to death. It's like a Conjure Flame that I don't have to be a fire elementalist to use.

They're also the only 100% safe trap to practice disarming, since they will never deal damage or drain xp into Dodge/Shields/Armor if you're only trying to disarm them.

Re: YASD: Gods I hate blade traps.

Actually, you can die from trying to disarm blade traps; try it in wizmode.

Oh? Under what conditions? I've preferentially trained with blade traps in dozens of games. Dart traps, bolt traps, arrow traps, and spear traps all occasionally ding me or level up shields or dodging. Blade traps have never done either, not even once, unless I actually had my character step on them. Did it change in trunk?

Re: YASD: Gods I hate blade traps.

Not sure about how you got away with it, but the logic for disarming (including the chance of triggering it on you) is in disarm_trap in traps.cc (it does a bunch of random numbers and checks dex and t&d skill against depth or something wacky like that; I don't really feel like dissecting it)

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
