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

Remove Apportation

Apportation isn't worth learning except as a way to cheese extended runes. But it's a level one spell, so castable with basically no investment. Just remove it already

Re: Remove Apportation

It's great if you use a lot of ranged combat.

Re: Remove Apportation

On almost every occasion where you want to pick up an item and the item is not already on your square, you should cast apportation. Certainly it should be removed, but it is a lot more useful than you think.

Re: Remove Apportation

I learn apport on almost all my chars that don't worship trog because I use manual explore and it is easier to press "p enter" than it is to walk over and get the item.
I'm with tasonir on this one.

Re: Remove Apportation

Remove apportion AND make all non-rune items in LOS move towards the player at the speed of a slowed crystal guardian

Re: Remove Apportation

Re: Remove Apportation

I cast it in Pan and Abyss to collect shiny stuff I probably don't need without moving too much.

Re: Remove Apportation

My first time on Shoals:5 was memorable. I descended the stairs and was immediately greeted by some monsters. I was still on the stairs when someone opened a door to a nearby hut, and the barnacled rune came into view. So I apported the rune and fled back upstairs. (Of course I came back later to clear the level :))
