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

At least caster bots are kind of hard to code. Or you'd have died 3 bolts of fire later, and unable to catch up to its blinks

Every time you hit tab or o there's a 1/1,000,000,000 chance of activating Skynet.

Check the source if you don't believe me.

The bots are, as far as I've encountered, melee, frequently Be. They about 40 times less annoying than your average Gr enemy.

Yes I agree, the only player ghosts that really scare me are draconians (drain breath hurts) and conjurers. All the rest are just melee enemies who can't take stairs.

FR: Player ghosts can use all wands, potions, scrolls, rods and evokables that the player died with, to make them more interesting

The change I proposed does not apply to me because I am too good to leave a player ghost.

True. Is it just me or has anyone else faced ghosts with the new level 9 ice spell, glaciate? That spell is insane. I lost a KoBe on Zot:5 to one that hasted himself and just spam glaciated me, I couldn't stand with him in LOS for more than 3 turns without being dead. I had ranged attacks (crossbow was my main offense) and I couldn't even take him below 75%. There's a ghost I hope I never see again.

Saw a random panlord with glaciate on my last run and that one I did flee from. Imho glaciate might just be a tad too powerful, anyone else have experience with using it/being hit by it?

Glaciate seems like it's stronger against the player than for the player. I miss Ice storm.
