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

Re: New Unrandart Proposal: The Axe of Beogh's Chosen

Too powerful IMHO, imagine finding it early when you fight jackals and convert their bodies to allied orc knights. Also it will encourage dragging weak monsters to fights with strong monsters, cleaving allows you to just hit the dangerous monster and get allies or extra smites from those dragged "rats".
Underestimated: cleaving, Deep Elf, Formicid, Vehumet, EV
Overestimated: AC, GDS

I think the probability of a stronger orc appearing should be increased in proportion to the enemy's HD.

Re: New Unrandart Proposal: The Axe of Beogh's Chosen

Sorry, forgot to mention something important. Since it's wielded by Saint Roka, and the only other options are Depths and Orc: 2, you most likely won't find it in the early game. (Unless you get an early Roka encounter somehow, which comes with its own set of problems for you.)
Might change how the orc summons work if need be, although I'll have to look at the numbers first. I'd like to point out that they're summons, not permanent followers. It'd only affect battles for as long as the summons stay, and combined with the fact that you wouldn't find it early game, I think I balanced it well. We'll see, hopefully.

W/o the summoned orcs I like it and its power is reasonably in line with other unrandarts, depending on how strong the smite is.
