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

Ability to choose (to some extend) the innate mutations

I am trying demonspawn right now and I've found myself completely discouraged to go further if I got couple of shitty mutations at the beginning.
Ability to choose (to some extend) the innate mutations would be nice.
For example, each time you about to mutate, you could pick one out of three mutations listed randomly. The same way as you pick str/dex/int attributes when you level up to better control the development of you char.

The whole point of Demonspawn is having to deal with the mutations you get. If you want a character with predictable mutations, try any of the other races.
(except Dr I guess).

The only arguably shitty Ds mut is monstrous. Well, pseudo-mut, really.

For this message the author Sar has received thanks:

Then maybe ability to choose pre-start between Ds with monstrous heritage and without it.

It first case you can go all monstrous, but in second case you have very little (or none) chance to get monstrous mutations.

I would like that. You discover monstrous on XL2/3 and it has (iirc) 10% chance, so scumming isn't so painful if you want to play DsMo.
