New Race: "Gnoll"
Only calling them gnolls because gnolls are a common early game monster that has no player equivalent; could have just as easily used (hob)goblin or a race name not currently in the game. The idea is something mechanically opposite of Demigods; a horribly weak race with good apts that gets more help from gods than normal. I think that the combination of these attributes could result in a race that plays differently than any current race. No idea. I am writing the patch for this today; because it's an easier thing to implement than any of my god ideas and I want to code something new and interesting, but small to start.
Gnoll:
Aptitudes:
Base Stats:
Strength: 2
Intelligence: 2
Dexterity: 2
Randomly gains 1 STR/INT/DEX every 5 levels.
Note: Gnolls do not get the protection Ghouls do; if a starting stat would be 1, it is one. GnWz starts with 1/12/5 and GnBe starts with 11/1/6.
Weirdness/Mutations:
Gnoll:
Aptitudes:
- Code:
Fighting: 2, Short: 2, Long: 2!, Axes: 2, Maces: 2, Polearms: 2, Staves: 2!, Slings: 2, Bows: 2, Xbows: 2!, Throw: 2!, Armour: 2!, Dodge: 2, Stealth: 2, Shields: 2!, UC: 2!, Splcast: 2, Conj: 2, Hexes: 2, Charms: 2, Summ: 2!, Nec: 2!, Tloc: 2, Tmut: 2, Fire: 2!, Ice: 2!, Air: 2, Earth: 2, Poison: 2, Inv: 2, Evo: 2, Exp: 2!, HP: -2, MP: -2
Base Stats:
Strength: 2
Intelligence: 2
Dexterity: 2
Randomly gains 1 STR/INT/DEX every 5 levels.
Note: Gnolls do not get the protection Ghouls do; if a starting stat would be 1, it is one. GnWz starts with 1/12/5 and GnBe starts with 11/1/6.
Weirdness/Mutations:
- Bottom-Feeder: Gnolls are neither paralyzed, nor slowed by stat zero. They retain all other effects though. {Strength = 0 gives slow healing; Intelligence = 0 gives no scrolls and no spells; Dexterity = 0 set stealth and evasion to zero}
- Mutation also sets all sources of statloss down to one point; including -Stat mutations. Acts after SustAb (to prevent the cheese of halving one and getting no statloss ever).
- Evocations Enhancement: Spellpower from all wands and elemental evocables is boosted x1.5. MP received from channeling is increased x1.3.
- God's Pity: All invocations have their power boosted x1.5. Passives are boosted x1.3. God gifts are received 20% more often.
- Low MP II- MP -20%
- Fur I - AC+1 [Flavour reasons.]

I'm beginning to feel like a Cat God! Felid streaks: {FeVM^Sif Muna, FeWn^Dithmenos, FeAr^Pakellas}, {FeEE^Ashenzari, FeEn^Gozag, FeNe^Sif Muna, FeAE^Vehumet...(ongoing)}
