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

FR: Give Demigods innate MP regeneration

This request is just a "quality of life" improvement. Demigods are one of the least played races, I think giving them MP regen at lvl 13 (not stackable with amulet of MP regen) would make this race a little bit more attractive and it isn't a big buff anyway.

TBH I'd just give them stackable MP regen at lvl 1, but balance and stuff.

Why demigods particularly?

Saw their +10% MP mutation and though it would fit.

But mp regen is already based on your max MP....

And it makes zero difference in practice, so?

Well, it just seems like Demigods are no worse (or better) off than anyone else for MP-regen waiting, so I was wondering why you singled them out for this suggestion.

Since Dg is the only species with +10% MP as an innate mutation, it gives the impression that it's supposed to be able to spend more MP than other species. Added MP regeneration would strengthen this distinction.

Of course, it's possible that impression is wrong: they could have the mutation (and their HP apt) just to compensate for their low xp apt. (But if that's the case, then why not just give them a higher xp apt in the first place lol)
