I have a similar problem in that it's hard to play non-chei since I play chei for roughly 50% or more of my games. I don't like not being able to wear heavy armor, have huge dodging skill/EV, and cast magic at the same time. What do you mean, focus on one thing? Just to be able to pillar dance? Pillar dancing is boring anyways....

When I die to Sojobo because I actually can't hit her. The death was stupid; I had healing and all, but I just...couldn't believe it. I actually could not believe I was having trouble hitting things at XL24 or so with a +9 executioner's axe and nearly maxed skill in axes.

I've played a lot of games of Crawl. Somewhere over 5000 of them. Forty something or so of those are wins. Yes, I am terrible. But the point is, I've gotten to this point of the game with similar gear many, many times, and I *never* have accuracy issues at high levels. Never. Hitting things simply is not a problem. Certain player ghosts are an exception, but other than that I don't typically *notice* accuracy as a mechanic beyond Lair or so. Sojobo has 21 EV according to the wiki (correct me if mistaken). High for a monster, but not exactly insurmountable.

Bad luck? A buff to Sojobo I don't know about? I don't know, man.

I'm trying to get a win with Xom and keep running into weird things like this...

I have come to despise Xom's polymorph addiction. He'd be perfectly manageable without it. Seriously, nothing else he does outside of banishment is nearly as likely to result in Xom-induced game over. He can mutate me and drop lightning on my head and be an all around jerkass all he wants; the gifts, buffs, summons, and silliness he provides more than makes up for that.

Polymorph in general is a wonky mechanic for a number of reasons (spoilery, questionable utility, weird special rules for the different forms the player can take, yadda yadda), but I think Xom's obsession with turning orc warlords into quicksilver dragons into hellephants into golden dragons into caustic shrikes into shard shrikes and back into Hellephants again deserves a special place in the Crawl toilet. Yes, that actually happened on Orc:2 just now. Impossible for me to tell if it was just a polymorph into a particularly aggressive glowing shifter or just Xom going absolutely bonkers. He's also turned knights into fire crabs on me, and some D:1 trash into a wolf once. That's not even touching what happens when he decides to polymorph me. It'd be one thing if this was like banishment; awful, but rare enough that you don't have to play in constant fear of it. Xom polymorphs things left and right sometimes, and you're lucky if it *isn't* horrible.

I actually like it, but I can agree it is really dangerous at times. For instance, stay the hell away from Gastronok if you're worshiping xom. Keep it outside your LOS at all times unless you want a caustic shrike in d6 or wherever that slug spawns.
It's also great fun mutating TRJ. Whatever comes out of that transformation is usually more manageable than the royal jelly.

basically there are 5 xom effects that make him really tedious to worship. in descending order of obnoxiousness:
1. player form casts (you have to either play ultra-careful at all times, or just accept randomly dying to spider/ice/blade hands sometimes)
2. teleport journeys (because they strongly incentivize going upstairs every time you want to rest)
3. swaps (again, unless you play ultra-careful a swap can easily just randomly kill you, but not nearly as frequently as transmutation casts)
4. incessant confusion
5. monster polymorphs (just because it stops you from resting near plants in lair; if lair didn't have plants i would not consider xom monster polymorphs worse than any of his other acts. lair shouldn't have plants regardless, by the way)

Well, even if you have all resists covered (including lajatang of order for orb of fire), you can equip +5 ring of protection since you lost just 4 AC.

d:15 is one floor away from depths, I don't think that's crazy. You should probably be doing lair and orc before you finish dungeon.

Huh, is that meant to be an argument? Okay, let's place some acid blobs in lair (cause it's one floor away from slime) or some orbs of fire in depths or ...

D:15 is a pretty shallow depth no matter what is beneath there and the usual threat level there is way below that. I just think this is inappropriate.

I don't think those enemies are very out of place for d15, though. It's not really that shallow, you're not supposed to do all of dungeon before visiting other branches!

They are out of place for d:15, they are not out of place for a d:15 vault though. But yeah, always do the optimal route and dont do d:15 before lair and orc, heck, dont even do d:12 before lair unless you are eager for a frances/rupert/kirke/"player ghost who already did orc/lair" combo.

I usually find the Lair entrance, and then go deeper into the dungeon until I meet something difficult before entering Lair. Then I do the same thing when I come out of lair before I go into Orc. Then I finish Dungeon before doing the first S branch. I usually go 1-2 floors deeper than the Lair entrance first, and then 1-2 floors deeper than that before Orc. Sometimes I get chased out of deeper Dungeon pretty quickly, sometimes I can go pretty far. Why? I guess just because when I developed the habit I felt comfortable in Dungeon-style terrain and less so in the more open Lair terrain, and now it's a habit.

This is dangerous, Erolcha/Louise can banish you as their first action in Dungeon without giving you a chance to do anything and they can never be found in Lair.

Rupert can generate on D12-15 too, unlike Erolcha/Louise who never generate in Lair. Actually if you enter D12-15 before Lair, Rupert is more likely to spawn in D, than in L because this is how crawl generation works.

Yes

It's rare but it does happen.

Edit: my last 3 runs have had disto sythe sigmund in early D. Rude as fuck but thankfully 2 of those runs were skalds (ogre and merfolk) so the teste shrivling fear was balanced out nicely by endgame quality weapon greed. The third run was (yet another) NaEE who happened to run into a disto rapier as well on D5.

Bit of a dislike (oh sky cake no not again) vs like (ahahahaha now i am death destroyer of... something something) situation there.

I love having ##crawl open while I play; as well as being a fund of detailed monster stats, occasional useful advice and the odd laugh, I just like feeling part of the community. Seeing all the death notices and win announcements go by. Grump.

When I die because of stupid mistakes. In this case both strategic and tactical. Playing Yiuf Crawl I decided for the sake of easy gameplay to just take a Dorf Fighter and ride that to fifteen runes, since it wouldn't be any different than the last time. And I was right on track for it too. Got the two S runes and the Slime rune, and then went to switch from Okawaru to TSO and grind The Crypt for piety. I've done this a few times before and it's not too bad. Except this time my primary weapon had been a demon whip, which of course I couldn't use until I could get it blessed. Which I couldn't do without six star piety. So I figured "hey I'll just drop my large shield of reflection and use this artifact great mace Okawaru gave me nothing'll go wrong because this is the only option other than like an artifact whip with holy wrath."

Well uh, it went wrong. I managed through most of Okawaru's wrath, and then just got nailed:

I made the mistake of counting on a successful defeat rather than burning yet another blink scroll or something, which was my tactical mistake. I'm mostly mad at myself; I'm tired and it's late and I knew I should've stopped playing, but of course, I don't listen. Sigh.

First world problem. What should I use vs orbs of fire: +13 vampiric great mace, +9 antimagic evenigstar, +7 lajatang of Order {silver, rMut} or +5 demon whip "Spellbinder" {god gift, antimagic, MR+}. Of course I have some slaying (Slay+3 on ring with *Corr, AC+2 and Str+7) and silver javelins at min delay to complicate it even more. Why can't it be easy? :(

Welp. Not technically an unavoidable death. I could have quaffed invisibility before stepping through that first transporter. It might have bought me at least A turn to act. But still...eesh.

It's fun that people say about wand of haste removal making the game easier "because more potions of haste are generated" when you get first potion of haste at XL 21 from Agnes.
