Code:: Are you sure you want to enter Zot trap? Press yes to continue. As you enter Zot trap it evaporates and changes to John's Antique Armour Shop. What would you like to buy?

64. Add THE HYPNOTOAD.

Code:: You see the Hypnotoad. ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

The Hypnotoad appears at the bottom of the Shoals, sharing a 50/50 chance with the unique Aquamancer. The Hypnotoad is a master hexer instead.

Code:: You can't get away: you want to bask in the glory of THE HYPNOTOAD!

Code:: You can't stop clapping!

65. New messages for the burning blood Ds mutation. When you gain it:

Code:: Thou shalt reign in blood!

Instead of describing the blood turning into flames:

Code:: Reign in blood!

Add new race: holy swines. Holy swines play like felids, but larger, hardier and flying. Have bonus piety when worshipping the good gods, and cannot worship the evil gods. Daevas will attempt to kill you with maximum prejudice, however, since they believe you are their dinner.

New race. Mushroom basilisk. Can activate an ability to petrify a monster. Cannot walk with non-petrified monsters in view.

74. Add "cuckold" to the list of imp insult nouns, but only white imps use it

69. Rename all ghosts to "dickshlonger69".

420. Make iron giants appear in lair endings.
42069. Buff Shoals - add more monsters (maybe marking monsters like a seagull?), more uniques, also buff every merfolk enemy.

Dungeoneer wrote:also buff every merfolk enemy.

We need merfolk transmuters as enemy. They will use Ice Form, Blade Hands, Statue Form, Spider Form, Dragon Form, Hydra Form

A mirror which enables your sight to extend through wooden doors while you're adjacent to them (works with runed doors once Evoc > 13.5)

A slime weapon brand with +acid damage and a chance to slimify living things

A food item which restores very little satiation, but reduces Draining by one level

A level 2 Transmutations spell/buff that enables Plastic-Man-esque deformities of the limbs so that you can punch two tiles away whilst Unarmed

A portable single-use escape hatch (leaves 1-3 of your unequipped items on the floor, higher chance to drop potions and books)

If you drop the only item which enabled the training of a skill, the skill gets turned off and re-locked

If you have an empty wand AND at least >9 Evocations or >4.5 in any school of magic associated with the spell, enable a 'Wrest Charges' ability that zaps the wand at max power, then destroys it

Potions of Heal Wounds and crystal balls of energy restore a fixed percentage of HP and MP, respectively (calculate this via BMI)

Make pizzas heal HP directly, with amount correspondent to the type of toppings (olives should rot Max HP like when ghouls heal from chunks)

More pizza toppings

New race: the Nerd. Too ugly to be an elf, too weak to be a troll, and yet not exactly human, the Nerd is characterized by the Nerdrage status. Nerdrage activate itself randomly, independently of external conditions, and sees the Nerd aimlessly flailing his arms around himself while shouting incoherent remarks. Nerdrage becomes more and more frequent as level increases; at level 15, it becomes permanent.

what the hell is this a reference to?

421. Orbs of Fire circling around Orb of Zot like the orbiting planets
42070. Orbs of Ice in 1/20 of D:Zot5 generated

?. Orb Guardians being harder to kill
?+1. Dracoliches instead of Liches in Zot realm

Whole cloth, unless somebody else thought up such a thing first. Probable given the number of times people have made spinoffs of the Portable Hole.

FR: you can control direction how axe moves (clockwise or counter-clockwise) and axe deals from 100% to 75% damage depending on tiles moved before attack. Something like this:

Code:: 123 8@4 765

You deal 100% to 1 and only 75% to 8.

Inspired by

It's far less strange to me than a Hill Orc swinging his axe in complete circles around him, and somehow managing to deal reasonable damage, yet not getting the weapon stuck on any one of those 8 enemies he is slashing at. I imagine axe users as twirling around in complete circles, tagging enemies one at a time like that little stopper thing on the 'wheel' of fortune.

Between the legs somewhere, same as before.

Maybe I'd be in a better mood if creepy guys weren't publicly airing their fantasies about me having sex with my own brother

Give water nymphs clothes to wear. Wait, no. Don't do that, stupid.

Let Beogh worshippers recall orcs which have been polymorphed into other forms(so I could recall Gorg the Spinx at the exit to take him out of the dungeon with me...!)

Make Sticks to Snakes auto-trigger when you fire an arrow, so the enemy gets hit by a flying snake fangs-first.

Introduce Quokka Form. Enemies can be confused, enslaved, blinded, or paralyzed by your cuteness.

this is rad tho

Xom should polymorph you into Prince Ribbit if he gets bored 3 times in a row.

Divine Energy

More traps! We'll bring back the shadow traps, because of how fun they were, but we'll add more.

Healing trap: Heals enemies that walk over it. If the player walks over it, it heals all nearby enemies. (This trap doesn't sound stupid enough...)

Instant death trap: Has a 0.001% chance to spawn on any given floor, only 1 per floor. If you step on it, you die. This adds more unpreventable deaths, something players keep expressing their enjoyment of.

Labyrinth Trap: If you step on it, you fall into a labyrinth. Unlike the portal labyrinths, this one combines the labyrinth and abyss level generation algorithms, meaning it generates a neverending maze, with exits being randomly generated as well. No guarantees the exit is reachable at any given time, but eventually it should be!

Nemesis Trap: A doppelganger of the character is spawned (Just like mara's ability), basically creating a player ghost of the current player. The ghost has 0.1 faster speed than the player, and can climb staircases. If lost for more than 50 turns, the ghost is recalled to the player's position. The ghost is magic immune, sees invisible, and has immunity to elemental and poison damage.

N). Exploding quokas creating falling shafts.
N++). Exploding falling shafts, that create falling shafts on shafting.
N++). You know what's going to be next.
X+m). Xom occasionally swaps the gear in your inventory, causing glowing effect. If he's bored - he'll toss away random item in any direction, causing abyss shaft to appear beneath it.
L+S). Give Long Sword riposte reaching - if any enemy is closer than 2 tiles, give a 66.66666666% of slapping them away with distortion.
...Oh wait.
I+E). Nerf Freeze range, making it usable only if Vehumet is in mood.
N+T). Make Nicola spawn random lightning traps on his turn, on step releasing violent ball lightnings.
D+r). Make draconians always gain opposite colours of the magic you're learning.
...Oh wait a sec.
V+s). Vine Stalker can corrode their teeth when biting a jelly, resulting in a need to visit a new shop (see bellow).
D+s). Geryon's Dentist shop welcomes you! Just for 999.9 gold you'll be able to get a new pair of teeth, claws, horns, or remove them entirely.
N+R). New race - Lazy Human. Same as human, except all apt is -1. Gains special mutation on gaining levels - Alcoholism (see above).
F+U). Teleporting in Zot:5 causes permanent fear of reaching unknown dimensions, occasionally (95%) tossing into zig(0.001%), wizlab(0.000000001%), or abyss:666 (99,998999999).
V+M). Vaults:5 are now V:1 without a rune, V:5 is still V:5.
B+R). Boots of running will occasionally run away from you, since they're bored standing still.
F+U+N+X). Nemelex sometimes gift you deck of summon panlords which contain only one card - tea ceremony (Friendly panlords will toss huge explosions at your nearby foes, and sometimes (99.5%) you.

A buff like +Wiz, but for unarmed combat only. +Focus or something. And then, branded gloves that have it. That way it can buff unarmed and not have to make a new weapon type in the process, monks can get their 'runed gauntlets', and everyone else just has gloves.

That'd be good, I hate the % failure rate of unarmed melee

Miscast effects for unarmed combat

Level 0: your arms feel sore (no effect)
Level 1: you pull a hammy (temporary -swift) or forget to throw the punch (no effect)
Level 2: you trip and fall (2-15 ac ignoring damage) or bruise your knuckles (25 noise from cursing really loudly)
Level 3: you fracture your metacarpals (10-27 damage, lose access to one hand until fixed with !hw) or hit yourself in the face (redirects your attack targeting yourself)

let killer klowns steal runes of zot and teleport away with them. as usual, you need at least 3 runes to leave zot

also let orb guardians steal the orb and teleport back to zot:5 with it so you have to run back down there. that way orbrun spawns will actually matter

Hellmonk wrote:Miscast effects for unarmed combat

How about a god of misfortune which makes both you and your enemies suffer miscasts and critical misses? The effects could be something like accidentally hitting yourself/knocking yourself out/dropping your weapon.

You drop your +6 spear of distortion on your bung.

Hellmonk wrote:Level 3: you fracture your metacarpals (10-27 damage, lose access to one hand until fixed with !hw)

So you can kill yourself at XL 1?

well it's not like low-level UC is any good either way

Only if you try to use a too-high-level martial art.

I think there actually was another comic named "Dungeon Crawl Inc." which used the word, but it has been offline for some time now.

RE: vampires and mutagenic chunks

Also:
I bought an expensive artifact cloak - a +0 cloak with Int+2. WOOOOOOOO.
So my suggestion is: When you buy something that is objectively not worth it, the description should say, "It is particularly good for wrenching money from hapless adventurers."

It's still too viable.

Amulet of the Charlatan
This amulet fortifies usage of Ivocations- and Piety-based abilities at the cost of doubling the Piety cost of divine ability use.
Invocations work as if the wearer's Invocations skill rating is 33% greater (not to exceed 27).
Abilities work as if the wearer's Piety were 30 greater than its actual score (not to exceed 200).
(This amulet can unlock abilities before one's actual Piety would allow it.)

Amulet of the Prostrate
This amulet fortifies Piety gain a bit, offering an alternative to Faith that people might want to use while being... well, not TOO scummable...
Reduces Piety drain from ability usage by (Invocations%)
Increases rate of Piety gain by ([Invocations * 0.5]%)
It does not provide its own Piety, but can also be taken off without losing Piety.
(Uskayaw forbids the use of this item. If you take this item off while under penance, you are excommunicated.)
