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

Trog Interface

Why are Magical Items grey out (like 'your race can't use them'" instead of red (like 'your god doesn't like them')?

This is a bit of an issue, because it makes items you may want to use after leaving Trog (Extended game) appear the same as items that you'd never have any use for.

{Minor UI tweak request}
I'm beginning to feel like a Cat God! Felid streaks: {FeVM^Sif Muna, FeWn^Dithmenos, FeAr^Pakellas}, {FeEE^Ashenzari, FeEn^Gozag, FeNe^Sif Muna, FeAE^Vehumet...(ongoing)}

Re: Trog Interface

because trog doesn't object to staves

i have no idea why staves are coloured useless under trog, they're surely as useful as clubs and those aren't coloured useless!

duvessa have you not considered the broad, robust, and powerful subset of characters who train staves and magic while worshipping sif before switching to trog? rude of you to forget them IMO

Re: Trog Interface

Why are potions of brilliance and magic useful to troggers? I guess they let you wield weapons of -INT for a short time or maybe evoke blink one more time?
Scrolls of amnesia are correctly marked.

Re: Trog Interface

Potion of brilliance helps with temporary non-positive Int which is easy to get in Abyss.

The main reason I haven't marked them as non-useless yet is that it'd make staff acquirement under Trog kinda weird without a bunch of extra special-casing, and my preferred way of fixing that would be to move rods into misc acquirement, and then that's a bunch of effort so I haven't gotten around to it.
