This game took quite a while to complete, but was still interesting. I have new respect for Yara's unravelling spell, it is incredibly fun to use in buff-heavy areas. It made going through U: and even Z: an absolute trollfest. Vampire and draconian knights in particular got a lot of "anti-buff bomb" casts. Servitor put out some dangerous friendly fire, but in the end it didn't matter. Conjurations title achieved, no bribes or petitions used.

How was hunger on this character?

Thursday, 14th November 2019, 14:57 by Sorcerous

It wasn't an issue at all, the lowest ration count around say L:6 was 10-12 rations. DEs have amazing aptitudes though, this would have been difficult on another species like say Hu or Ds. Having an early Servitor definitely helped, it reduced both hunger and MP bar use. Casting it just once was about as good as 6-10 IMB / OoD / LRD / Iron shots at a fraction of the cost.

High aptitude + spellcasting training AND high intelligence makes most spells hungerless anyway, so hunger isn't going to a typical issue on DE. Other species can hold a staff of energy if wanting to spam high level spells...or simply delay using them lots until trained up more. There's lots of viable level 1-5 magic.

With the amount of XP in extended even characters with ~25 INT can push spellcasting high and get level 7 or lower spells hungerless w/o staff of energy. Despite the great magic aptitudes I'd say DE is harder in extended than alternatives like Hu, Ba, Gn, or even stuff like Na/HO. While these can all be played as melee also, they're plenty viable as mages with Wz background, taking INT each level up, and even a little gear investment. Hu with 16 fighting has a bit over 200 hp compared to ~170 shown here, but also has better aptitude for that so can take it higher in extended.

Here's a 5 rune Hu game for reference: https://crawl.kelbi.org/crawl/morgue/Th ... 012102.txt

Finished with 75 rations, so this build would not have starved going with Gozag. Level 6 spells cost no hunger even with this.

This looks nice, I'll probably go for a 15-runer similar to that one soon. You're right about the other species in extended, not fussing over an innate equivalent to Frail 2 is much easier on the nerves.
