Demonspawn Configuration?
So, I was wondering if there was a win/win solution, where players could casually enjoy specific combinations of Demonspawn mutations, while preserving the randomness for competitive play. Here's my thought, but I'm not familiar enough with online play to know if it's viable:
Have a configuration option to avoid certain Demonspawn mutations. Crawl would select a mutation set that doesn't include those configured to be avoided. If all body slots are marked to avoid, characters would always be generated monstrous. Otherwise, if at least one head/arm/leg slot has all mutations marked to avoid, characters would never be generated monstrous. If a player avoids too many mutations, such that's it's not possible to generate a full set, they would simply miss out on some of their mutations. This means it would be possible to play a Demonspawn with no natural mutations, which I guess someone might want to try for novelty or for an extra challenge?
