YASD - potion not identified correctly

Just another stupid crawl death from crasy game mechanics. I didn't know that scrolls of identify can give incorrect naming. Twice now I have died when I took what was labeled as heal wound and it gave a different result. The first time this happened it gave me poison instead heal and this time it hasted me with no heal. Both time ended in death. This is a stupid thing to have in the game and is just plan unfair to players.

  Code:
 Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.17.1 (tiles) character file.

1635 quakatin the Sneak (level 8, 0/48 HPs)

Re: YASD - potion not identified correctly

There is no such mechanic in Crawl. Scrolls of identify never give incorrect names to things. You have somehow quaffed a wrong potion.

This suggests to me that you quaffed an unidentified potion. You still have one potion of heal wounds in your inventory.

I notice the character doesn't have anything in the inventory mapped to "l" anymore; my guess is LawndartJedi hit l instead of o.

Pretty ironic coming from you tbh fam. :roll:
To all new players: Ignore all strategy guides posted on the wiki, ask questions in the Advice forum, players with lots of posts normally have the best advice.

Re: YASD - potion not identified correctly

Also... why are we sandblasting a Troll while using a Whip of Pain as an EE with 0 Necromancy and not wielding our stones?

You have to wield your stones in order to enhance the damage of sandblast.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
