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

Starting Combos with Equipment Screws

Demigod Monks ... since they are screwed by not getting extra starting piety, would it be fair for them to be given some other minor bonus to compensate?

I thought all combos with invalid add-ons (equipment, generally) are compensated in other ways.

Re: Demigod Monks

What about the spfi who gets a worse shield and no armour (alternately, every other Fi who gets a clunky shield and armour, whatever)? Or every Gl with an odd head, or MuEE/MuNe with stoneskin/regen? Trying to make sure every race enjoys all benefits of the role is not necessary or desirable. Taken farther, what about MiFE who doesn't get to use the spellbook as well as DEFE?

Re: Demigod Monks

well yeah some races do get something extra because of their racial restrictions. However, I am not to sure how we can replace ** piety

Yeah, they start with a sense that something valuable has been taken from them.

Re: Demigod Monks

This is done to punish anyone stupid enough to not pick FeBe instead, I presume.

It's to make them not strictly better than FeFi. Possibly FeFi could be buffed instead.

I think that this should probably be reverted now that Fi starts with a potion of might. Unless FeFi doesn't start with a potion of might, for some reason.
