Trog's sacrifices
I've played a few local games with berserkers and fighters joining Trog and simply ignoring the corpses on the ground and the games have played NO DIFFERENTLY than if I took the effort to sacrifice corpses. You know what has a MUCH bigger impact on your piety? Resting. Wearing a ring of regeneration is basically like wearing an amulet of faith with Trog... just to put things into perspective... there are so many factors that go into piety gain and loss and sacrifices are by FAR the smallest factor.
So when it comes down to it Trog sacrifices don't have any meaningful impact on your gameplay. You can toss around all the theories you want but honestly just play a few games with Trog and don't bother sacrificing anything. You can still spam BIA all you want to kill uniques and still get berserk and Trog's hand really quickly... nothing changes.
I'd go as far as to say not allowing players to sacrifice corpses and changing NOTHING else wouldn't be a nerf to trog but actually a buff since it doesn't make piety harder to gain and simply makes a-a-tab-tab-tab that more straightforward. You might think I'm exaggerating but I'm 100% dead serious: the higher your piety is the less likely you are to get piety gains off kills and sacrifices... so sacrificing corpses simply makes your next few kills less likely to give you piety... simply put SACRIFICING WITH TROG DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
So remove the feature please? It adds nothing to the game and confuses new players.
