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

... and be used while confused.

Because seriously, dying to a single tarantella is stupid, and with "clar gone, it's gonna be happening a whole lot more.

This is probably a good idea (tm)... Though I still don't know why we can't just have poison immunity block Tarantula confusion. I don't know why even a little.

Or why we can't make mummies immune to rot and confusion and get rid of that silly self-restoration ability. It's really not that big of a buff...

No way that could happen, full immunity to both malmutate and torment alongside hungerless channeling would be way overpowered.

I mean, you're still playing a mummy.

I was going to start another thread suggesting this very thing in response to the 'mummies+tarantellas' thread, but a search turned up this one.

I am really curious as to what the devs have to say about this.

I can't for the life of me figure out whats stopping this from happening. Normally I can come up with at least some kind of reasoning that the devs might have, even if its a small as wanting to preserve flavor or not wanting to change a portion of the game that is seen as traditional, but the fact that this has yet to be changed baffles my mind.

To all new players: Ignore all strategy guides posted on the wiki, ask questions in the Advice forum, players with lots of posts normally have the best advice.

Not to speak for the devs, but... this is not how Tavern works. A better way to get a dev response would be to open a bug on Mantis or head to ##crawl-dev or something.
