Nemelex + HoFi + faith amulet = inventory nightmare
I really want a Nemelex win soon, just to check that one off the list and see how well this god stands up to Zot:5 and the Orb Run/ascent with a very high Invocations investment. Hill Orc Fighter sounded good, he's tanky enough to not "need" the cards all the time and has a solid +3 APT for Invocations. Oooh, here's a faith amulet! Let's just put this on, and ....
(((.... MAGNIFICENT DOWNPOUR OF GIFTED DECKS ENSUES .... )))
Now starts this irritating mini-game of finding the least-useful 52nd item in my inventory, and dropping it so I can grab the new deck that just arrived.
Is there any appetite for "wandifying" Nemelex decks base on their type and quality? Or would this be super hard to code, based on the inherent nature of the player not immediately knowing how many cards are in a deck that they've not already done Stack Five on? I'd guess that the # of cards is a quantifiable thing behind the scenes, even if the player doesn't (yet) know how many cards are in that deck.
* Nemelex drops an Ornate Deck of Summoning .... you already have one in your bag, so the # of cards in the newly gifted deck just gets added into the deck you are already carrying.
* Nemelex drops a Legendary Deck of Escape, same mechanic...
* Nemelex gifts a plain deck of destruction, same mechanic.....
I really want this god to feel more fun to play, instead of being the DCSS deity version of my mom: "CLEAN UP YOUR MESSY/CLUTTERED BEDROOM!" '. Apologies in advance if this is already an active discussion for future releases .... I don't know where design plans for future versions are documented, else I'd go peek at that & keep my mouth shut here.
