Re: Give komodo dragons rSlayDragon-

Technically speaking they're a kind of lizard. I even know someone who has one as a pet.

But nontechnically speaking

that would be hilarious and I approve completely.

I'm 70% certain this is a stupid idea but maybe there should be a Slay(speciesgroup) brand.

If you go back in time and play ancient versions of Crawl you can enjoy beating down scrubs with your +1, +2 dwarven spiked flail of orc slaying.

Re: Give komodo dragons rSlayDragon-

It'd be neat if there was something besides unrands that was good against species groups. Even broad ones like humanoid or reptile or demon.

But again, I do recognize that's probably a stupid idea. Albeit more bearable with wide groups.

I can never understand if people are sarcastic or serious when asking to put back a removed feature - or just ignorant that was a removed feature

Re: Give komodo dragons rSlayDragon-

Nah, I'm being pretty silly. It would be neat if monster species could be screwed with but the way it is now it's better to leave it alone outside rare occurrences. Like wyrmsbane

Draconian callers can summon kommodo dragons with summon drake. Drake is a word for dragon.

It's 100% in-game proof!

Fun fact: Fallout 4 did it last year. The result is inventory clutter.
