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

Mummy self-repair for 1 permanent MP should be taken out

The "ability" of mummies to recover rotted health at the cost of 1 permanent MP is completely worse than useless.

* A Gozag mummy can just pay the measly $400 and get healed by potion. And any sensible mummy follows Gozag.

* Otherwise, use a wand of healing

* Or to be economical (and what Gozag follower will not go the extra mile to save a nickel) just walk into the clouds of chaos from dead chaos spawn (it's the only effect those critters really have on the game). Every once in a while it's a heal. Even *summoned* chaos spawn will do this for you.

* Or you could leave Crazy Yuif around and let him bash on you with his staff, I think.

The only people sacrificing their incredibly rare and precious MPs are newbies who don't know any of this stuff or naively think they'll get more by some other means. And everyone else lives in terror that they're going to choose this "ability" by accident somehow (I don't know if there's a confirm, because ... when would you ever dare to check?)

Just kill it.

Re: Mummy self-repair for 1 permanent MP should be taken out

Am I missing some joke that involves asking for something to be implemented just after it is implemented?

Edit: Oh nvm, actually read the post.
If I play online, I do so under the screenname Marenglen.
