Being a Deep Dwarf would suck


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Being a Deep Dwarf would suck

Sure, you could avoid hurting yourself with small injuries, but imagine not being able to regenerate. You manage to cut yourself, you can bleed out no matter how small if you don't bandage it. You get kicked in the groin or other sensitive area and you'll be hurting for good if you can't grab a potion of healing. You break a bone and that sucker is going to stay broke until the day you die.

Yeah... being a Deep Dwarf would suck. I bet alchemists make a killing off of them with potions of healing though.

And that's precisely how they've managed to survive. Their race's overwhelming need for healing items has lead them to make such advancements in the art that they can apparently afford to hand out healing wands to every disposable adventurer who wanders into the Dungeon. You don't see the humans or elves being so lavish with THEIR wannabe Orb-snatchers.

It would be like being a European aristocrat.

Re: Being a Deep Dwarf would suck

i think being any crawl hero would mostly suck, as it means nearly certain death 8-)

Actually, being any Crawl species other than Deep Dwarf would be pretty awesome - you can recover from life-threatening injuries just by resting a bit.

Just don't go to the dungeon and you'll be fine.

You're assuming all DD's become at least level 3 necromancers, though. :)

Then again, if its an incentive to survive, I guess there would be a higher number of them.

Well, one things for certain; no one in their right mind is going to give them life insurance. :twisted:

Knowing the Crawlverse, that squirrel would probably kick most people's ass.

It might be fashionable among them to travel with "vampiric-drainable" cattles :P

Of course it would. Most people's everyday clothes don't provide any guaranteed damage reduction.

Some do. I often wear my +1 bike helmet of bicycle injury reduction. (Not much good a berserk squirrel, admittedly, but it ought to provide damage reduction in certain contexts.)

Don't knock it; those things can turn shallow water into deep water and you'll lose your stash forever (fucking robe of clouds).
