Other kinds of hide armors

[BTA]

Was thinking, Robe of Vines is something like wearing the skin of a Vine Stalker.

So: Ogre skin armor adds strength.
Cursed Howler Monkey Hide (complete with a very dashing tail) +noise and running ego.
Gargoyle's wings, angel's wings (extra damage from demonic weapons), demon wings (extra damage from holy).
Merfolk skin - swimming. Octopode hat - swimming too, find it deeper in dungeon and cause fear to lesser monsters.
Cursed Crimson imp skin - blink and shouting - even more annoying than the real thing.

Too much to ask that they change the appearance of your character? Imagine a Spriggan wearing an Ogre Skin Robe.

These sorts fo things would make better unrands than normal hides. Strikes me as too close to Nethack's eat-to-gain-resistances for mainline play.

Well most of these are more like eat to gain a terrible item

Whatever happened to that great iron dragon hide into shield of super resistance idea?

[BTA]

My suggestion is more about fun and macabre than uber or nethack. Most of the animal skin armor suggestions I mentioned where player species (macabre). Presently, armor changes the coloration appearance of your player character a little. I am suggesting these armors would drastically change your overall appearance while slightly changing your abilities. Imagine looking like another species entirely, from player species to... warg, darter slug, demon.

FR let console players set their glyph to anything, not just their current species's glyph, so I can finally live my dream of cosplaying as Gastronok.

You already can change your glyph in console to anything you like, unless it changed recently.

mon_glyph = player:[desired glyph]
