Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Holy Weapon vs. Orange Rat

Is a holy branded weapon supposed to make Orange Rats (infused with unholy energy) convulse? I could be wrong, but I don't think they are working that way at the moment.

I figured I'd ask this potential bug question in this subforum as it seemed the most likely.

Re: Holy Weapon vs. Orange Rat

Holy wrath works against demons and undeads. The "infused with unholy energy" is because of the draining attack, but that doesn't make it a demon. It's still an animal.

Re: Holy Weapon vs. Orange Rat

Orange Rats are pretty much HAMSTERS, and are thus AWESOME.

But in all seriousness we need rats of EVERY COLOR.

BLUE RATS: They can BLINK
RED RATS: THEY EXPLODE ON DEATH (sending chunks everywhere as if they were disentegrated)
WHITE RATS: They are HOLY and will also cause ROTTING on UNDEAD.
PURPLE RATS: THEY CAN CAST SPELLS
YELLOW RATS: These rats have HIGH AC AND EV but same health. THEY ARE BADASSES
PINK RATS: They SUMMON FLOWERS wherever they walk!

wait that wasn't in all seriousness.

You will probably enjoy the new laboratory rats. :)

They've been in awhile, and I'm not sure where they appear (might be minivault-specific), but they are rats that can blink or cast spells.
Please report bugs to Crawl's bug tracker, and leave feedback on the development wiki. Thank you!
