If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

new combat move: remove beef jerky and cTele

when you use this move it removes beef jerky and cTele from the game, like crawl should have done years ago

Should be balanced with another effect IMO, like double pizza.

Re: new combat move: remove beef jerky and cTele

Alternatively cTele can be changed to level 9 (the same Transloc./Charms), it is actually much better than Controlled Blink for rune stealing.

The devs don't seem to like to 'fix' spells by increasing their level. Otherwise Haste would have been level 8/9 a long time ago...

Edit: that's not completely fair, though, there have been some spell level changes in the past.

Edit2: Ok there have been lots and lots of spell level changes and the devs do it all the time :)

The 'e' key is automatically linked to a cool non-combat move that quickly removes all the non-bread-non-ration food items from the game. Simply stand in the same square as the food crap, and spam e, pressing enter to confirm after each keypress.

Re: new combat move: remove beef jerky and cTele

OK because I was stupid I just had to check all the changed spell levels since Linley's Dungeon Crawl.
I found at least these: blade hands was 4, bolt of cold/fire 5, borg's 6, call imp 3, cause fear 5, control undead 6, controlled blink 4 (!!!), death channel 9, dispel undead (edit:4), dispersal 7, dragon form 8, fireball 6, fly 4, freezing cloud 7, haste 8 (HASTE WAS 8 WHY WAS IT CHANGED), ice form 5, ignite poison 7, lightning bolt 6, metabolic englaciation 7, ozocubu's refrigeration 5, ring of flames 8, silence 3, simulacrum 7, slow 3, statue form 5, teleport other 5.

(e: spelling refrigeration)

Probably not mentioned: any spells that changed levels in one release, then reverted in a subsequent release.

Surely some characters would. But much, much fewer than currently (probably no one wearing heavy armour). I thought this would be a good thing?

You are right, I only checked what I believe the levels were in Linley's Dungeon Crawl and compared to the current situation.

Re: new combat move: remove beef jerky and cTele

Haste should be level 9 haste. Haste would a new skill, and is a -5 apt for all species. Wands of haste require 6 haste skill to work. Potions of haste only need 2 skill.

Oops, I'm off topic

Haste miscasts would also, obviously, remove beef jerky, and set the current level to -cTele.

Bring back level 4 blade hands and level 5 statue form! Also, I believe dispel undead still is level 5, unless that just changed...

yes. stupid people

people asking for haste to be level 8 are just the people that want haste to be removed but don't think the devteam is willing to do it. i dont think anyone actually thinks they would use it at level 8, i mean the entire reason it was lowered from level 8 in the first place was that nobody used it!

Why?

I was under the impression that haste as a spell is considered to be too powerful. But if I'm mistaken then there's nothing to fix. Personally I wouldn't mind if casting haste in plate was not something you would do in a 3-rune game.

FR: Starting as CK randomly changes spell level for some spells. You never know it before you try to learn the spell. If you abandon Xom, you lose all good changes (so Haste returns back from level 5 to level 6) but bad changes are doubled (Blink goes from level 3 to level 4).

How long will it take me to start scum level 3 statue form?

A lot. You will have to:
1) Find the spell
2) Survive Xom all this time
3) Try to memorize the spell and check it is level 3.

Edit. I suspect it will be not that useful with low spell power. Main appeal of the spell is extra AC.

Haste is barely learn-worthy in a 3 rune at level 6 imo. I will never understand why people think it is so overpowered.

Certainly higher spellpower is considerably better than lower spellpower, but you get the full boost to UC damage immediately. Plus, even low amounts of AC are a huge boost to octopodes/felids, although certainly less so for other races. I'd cast a 10 spellpower statue form on an octopode, if I didn't self-explode from it. I'm casting it with one ring of wizardry now, I was tempted to go back up 5 floors to where I dropped the second ring of wizardry, but I didn't bother. With one ring of wizardry it already comes online pretty fast.

I don't see a problem. Being with Xom before you find Statue Form of level 3-9 is worse than staying godless and using Statue Form of level 6.

Agreed, I wouldn't want to join xom and try to find statue form for an off chance of it being lower, I was mostly just theorycrafting on Statue Form being level 3 and ignoring the rest. Apparently it used to be level 5 :)

Wizlab with weird blinking machines was removed in trunk so I guess %Tele is bad for game play.
