Brainstorming Race Thing

[bcadren]

I'd kind of like a race that's core gimmick is having no issues from contam; maybe even to the extreme of ignoring the contam. I don't really have much of an idea for it, I just think it would be cool, since for normal races...say Invis, though temporarily powerful is extremely annoying to use due to gray contam lasting for 500-1000+ turns after using it and not knowing how long after the last time you used it until you can use it again and similar fickle bullshit.

Permanent Haste is too good.

[Sprucery]

Give it permanent stasis to compensate and call it Deep Formicid.

[BabyRage]

Permanent invis is kinda good too.

[Sprucery]

That can be compensated with permanent Corona and now we have a nice challenge race.

Whole idea is to make Invisibility usable, instead of suicidal.

[Sandman25]

A single cast of Invisibility cannot give yellow contamination so it is never suicidal unless player made a mistake (like casted the spell while having some contamination or together with haste)

A mistake like not leaving the whole entire branch back to the early dungeon to rest for 1000+ turn to get rid of the contam? (Seriously it feels like you have to do that).

[Seriously; current game has gotten into bad contam a lot because I use Invis seriously in a fight, leave the floor in order to rest, then get ambushed while resting and have no fucking clue if I've rested long enough to be able to use it again or not...plus it's a fucking cat so I'm not exactly able to fight most things without buffs. It's very very annoying; I wish I'd invested XP elsewhere and never learned that godforsaken spell; some nice conjurations are so much less finicky.]

If "contam takes too long to rest away" is an issue, I can think of an easier, more obvious solution than inventing a new race.

If you have no other way of killing things except invisibility, then yes, continuing exploring is a mistake. You can press 5 several times to wait the contam to disappear, I've spectated top players doing that.
