Yes, so in Bcrawl demigods get some god abilities and +3 invocations. The abilities are Temporal Distortion, Growth (and walk though plants), Major Destruction, Heroism, Divine Shield, and Smiting, one for each pip of piety. I'm using Heroism a lot, Smiting & Divine Shield a fair bit, and I used to use Growth in the early game (and also against TRJ). I have the impression that Major Destruction is outclassed by Smiting.
Also I'd like to go into Hell because Bcrawl changed Hell, and the tournament awards point for Hell runes. (Once you enter a Hell branch you can't get out until you've got the rune.)
So far I've stuck with the +10 Chain Mail. Switching to the heavier armours costs more EV than it gains me AC atm, but that will change soon. I do feel like I need rPois in Zot, and the chain mail is my most convenient source of rPois.
Bcrawl also features Shadow Dragon Scales with 11 base armour rating and Iron Dragon Scales with 16 base armour rating and 27 ER. I discovered these fairly recently. I'm quite tempted to go with the Shadow scales because I got the Boots of the Assassin, and I'm somewhat used to having high stealth. With my high stength I'm well suited for the Iron Dragon Scales (I decided to put the level-up points into more Strength)
If I go extended I'll be out of my comfort zone, because this character is quite different from what I am used to. I rarely play pure melee, and I've always had some form of torment resistance in extended, and/or TSO. Getting statue form would wreck my AC on this character, and I don't think it's worth it. I think torment is probably survivable if I have rN+++, spirit shield & good offence (which I do, with penetrating javelins & Smiting).
So far I have heavily relied on my vampiric demon trident to be able to take on large groups of enemies without dying. I'll probably have to rebrand my trident before going into hell (no other good tridents have spawned so far). I'm also going to be able to try out needle stabbing (I have high throwing skill, an enchanted blowgun & enough scrolls to bring it up to +9, and a stack of paralysis & confusion needles. Paralysis & confusion needles still exist in Bcrawl. I'll probably dump some evocables & potions to make space.)
I consider switching to a +3 antimagic bardiche, but that's probably now worth it because I've already got 20 shield skill.
