Hi crawlers! There’s been enough changes this week for a slightly early update:

  • The new_nemelex branch has landed:
    • Nemelex
      • Nemelex only gives piety for exploration rather than item sacrifices or deck usage.
      • Peek at Two now reveals the top cards of a deck but cannot be used with other Nemelex abilities
      • Nemelex now only gifts decks of war and escape.
    • Cards
      • New cards
        • Fortitude, which gives Damage Shaving and a bonus to strength.
        • Storm, which can make shallow water, a tornado, or cause swiftness.
        • Degeneration, which polymorphs nearby monsters into weaker ones.
        • Shaft, which creates a shaft under the player. This is an old effect of the Flight card.
        • Illusion, which summons an illusion of the player.
      • Revamped cards
        • Flame card now spawns flame clouds around the user and on hostiles rather than dealing damage.
        • Velocity card now hastes the slow and slows hasty rather than simply speeding up the player.
      • Warp, Portal, Hammer, Spark, Flight, and Genie cards have been removed
    • Decks of War now contain the Dowsing and Potion cards
  • The chance of corroding equipment no longer considers item enchantment
  • Item destruction of scrolls and potions has been completely removed.
    • Demonspawn facets which gave potion/scroll item conservation now give freezing/fire cloud immunity earlier and separately.
  • Halflings have rebalanced aptitudes, shifting them towards defense.
  • Kobolds no longer have disease resistance.
  • Tukima’s Dance now animates weapons held by monsters. The weapons will fight against their former owners. It is also now level 3.
  • Spider Form now moves at normal speed.
  • Some ability icons have new tiles.
  • All types of fruit have been merged together into one item type.
  • Cheese and sausages are no more.
  • New unrand: the +6 Majin-Bo {vamp, Archmagi, MP+6 Int+6}. A quarterstaff that takes HP every time you cast a spell.
  • The dagger of Chilly Death now sometimes flash-freezes enemies, slowing their movement.
  • The scimitar of Flaming Death now sometimes applies sticky flame to its victims.

Happy crawling!
