to be fair, it also performs the simple function of inviting people, who may react positively to resurrection and orcs that don't really die, to consider an alternative perspective. It's not like minmay posted into an ongoing debate about resurrection.

it was a really stupid joke though i admit that
i still don't like this change because it makes permanent allies a bigger part of the game, though
toastedzergling wrote:Ah damn, I wish I was playing my Beogh character on trunk instead of .17 so I could test this out, sounds like a nice little treat. It seems like this will be a very nice way to more reliably get the special orcs, St. Rokka, Nergalle, etc.
Some questions:
* Do the fallen orc automatically pick up their old equipment?
* Does it only work on orc corpses, or will it work on orc skeletons? (aka, is there only a small window to rez someone)
* Will this work on shapeshifter corpses that died while in an orc form?
I was actually steered here by piginabag after making a proposal for a 6* beogh skill of my own today, here's the reddit post if anyone's interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/dcss/comments/ ... c_zealous/

dpeg wrote:Folks, you should try to learn to distinguish between duvessa, the player and duvessa, the game design commentator. He has a very good grasp of the game, so you get good advice. He also has a pretty strict point of view regarding design -- it is very reductionist. This is neither bad nor good, but it's something you should be aware of. The typical player has maximalist tendencies (they want more of everything, and get sad if something disappears), so it is certainly useful to have dissenting opinions.
All that said, Beogh will stay, exclusively for orcs. Don't falter, my orcish brethren!

I'm gonna assume this was trolling (but if it's not, I'm genuinely curious why); I choose .17 because I ran into follower bugs last time I was playing my orc on trunk and didn't feel like them snubbing my gifts (again). I also wanted to play an invocations/smite oriented orc, and I knew Beogh's smite got buffed in 0.17.

I didn't test this, but I suspect so.
