Suggestion: Sacrifice Archery

[removeelyvilon]

New sacrifice for Ru.

You cannot train bows, crossbows, slings or throwing. You cannot use any weapon of these categories.

You can however, wield stones and large rocks for the purpose of sandblast and carry arrows for the purpose of sticks to snakes.

Just something that crossed my mind when playing Ru.

cool, free piety

[HardboiledGargoyle]

  Code:

This is a trivial sacrifice.

Piety after sacrificing: ......

[Rast]

Some of the existing sacrifices already fit the "free piety" category, if you were not planning to use them.

However, this is a more extreme version of that, and I don't think we needed more of it anyway.

[Shard1697]

Piety gained could be increased if you already have ranged skill, based on the amount you had.

Name should be "Sacrifice ranged weapons" though, otherwise it might make people think it's just Bows being lost.

[duvessa]

the only ru sacrifice that should be added is Sac Nut

[Sar]

not inclusive enough

[duvessa]

Sac Nut is the sacrifice that lets your character sacrifice any acorns, pistachios, etc. that you find on the ground, instead of eating them. it sounds like you have it confused with Sac Nut Sac

[BabyRage]

There are pistachios in crawl?!?

[Siegurt]

How about "Sacrifice Distance" you can't target any square beyond range 1 (as if you had targeted the square with '.', so it doesn't penetrate), with any ability, spell or item, you can still hit things at range with things that hit the whole screen (OTR, shatter, tornado, apocolypse, etc.) things that have an area effect still have that area effect

[HardboiledGargoyle]

sacrifice darkness - LOS range increases by 1 tile

[Rast]

Lasty has mentioned that he will consider a "Sac Hearing" patch if someone writes it.

[chequers]

How about "sacrifice weapon" where you sacrifice your highest weapon skill for piety.

[duvessa]

i cant believe i finally pulled off the sac nut tavern combo and i didnt get even 1 thank

[nago]

Sry, I've read now the topic

[Hellmonk]

Ru asks you to sacrifice your thanks.
This is an incredible sacrifice.

I would do anything for piety

I'd run right into Pan and back

I would do anything for piety

I'd never press X to abandon you and that's a fact

And I'll never forget the way draw out power saved me just now,

Oh no, no way

And I would do anything for piety, but I won't do that

No, I won't do that

Back on the original topic: how about Sacrifice Range -- all ranged attacks (including throwing, rods, evokers, wands, spells, launchers) have a greatly constrained (divided by 2? Set to 1?) range?
