Re: Generic Brainstorming!

Item destruction encourages tedious stashing. To fix this, I suggest letting it destroy any item in the dungeon, so stashes aren't safe. "You sense a rouge jelly was the least of your worries."
On IRC my nick is reaverb. I play online under the name reaver, though.

Or really any RPG, RL or not, play as the pet of the hero, where the hero is actually incompetent and you are the one who does all the work to try to make him look good, and you have to do everything behind the scenes so no-one finds out you're the one doing all the work. :)

This reminds me of that Borges short story about Pierre Menard.

To say nothing of Hong Kong Phooey, and no doubt various other comedy characters. But the Borges story is a different thing altogether and I recommend it above those.

Excellent idea. And to be true to the spirit of Menard, the resultant win would have to be recognised as a greater achievement than the original one.

Sounds about right. I am concerned that the RNG might prove problematic though. (Although if you were killed where another succeeded it would prove, once and for all, that their victory was down to luck.)

Re: Generic Brainstorming!

Rod of Impulse: Has two functions, 'charge' and 'fire'. Firing the rod spends all charges, but sends a monster flying that many spaces backwards (with some random variation). Damage dealt if it hits a wall is (Spaces remaining)/(28-evocations).

If the rod is charged 101 times, it becomes a Rod of Impulse 101. Using it instantly grants all unrandart weapons.

Yeah, if there were a lot more completely meh enchantments, more randarts could be created without unbalancing the game.

-The Boots of Static Electricity: every 600 steps lightly shocks you and surrounding enemies
-The Axe of Swords: increases short and long blade aptitude while held
-The Gauntlets of Softness: hand comfort +1

There should be a scoreboard specifically for high scores in comfortableness by the games end.

Longsword of Back-Scratching - Gain comfort proportional to damage dealt
Snuggie Cape - +3 comfort AND never needs to be removed for any reason ever

Appreciates: long periods of rest. Piety gain from resting is proportional to the square of the period of rest.
Deprecates: being interrupted when resting. If the rest is interrupted all piety gain is lost and there is a 10% chance of insomnia, i.e. inability to rest for a randomly determined number of turns.

In general, might be too similar to Chei.
