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

Add success chance for Elyvilon pacification

My proposal is show the success chance for pacifying a monster by healing it with Elyvilon. The game currently shows the success chance for hexes, and even hex wands. However, the game does not show the success chance of pacifying a monster, despite how similar pacification is to hexes from a gameplay perspective.

See here, and the linked Mantis issue:

Re: Add success chance for Elyvilon pacification

I guess I'll get coding then. Not having a success rate that I can see is driving me nuts.
