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

Why aren't the Blocks of Ice (8) created by Glaciate target-able with LRD? Those and the 'elephant-shaped statues' in the one Lair Endvault are the only 8's which are not so. I'd just want to know why not. [I'm not necessarily suggesting they should be; I just expected them to be and they weren't.]

Re: Glaciate/LRD
I assume the elephant shaped statues are so you can't blow them up before they become elephants. As for glaciate, I don't know, I don't think it would be too strong? I guess I'll let someone with more glaciate experience than me comment here, I haven't used it much.

Re: Glaciate/LRD
The elephant-shaped statues are intentionally that way for the reason tasonir gave: so that you can't recognise the vault and destroy all the statues before they change.
I'm pretty sure block of ice not being LRD-able is an oversight, so I have fixed that.
Pillars of salt are still not LRD-able, sorry.

Re: Glaciate/LRD
How about large rocks on the ground? I love the idea of an Ogre or Troll throwing large rocks at enemies and then blowing them up as tactical explosives.

Yeah, can verify, when I wrote the block of ice code, I mostly modeled it off the pillar of salt code, definitely didn't think about LRD interaction.
(Note that the spell I wrote is very different than the one that ended up in the game, but the block of ice code was substantially the same)
