On the other hand, the fighting skill is far less tedious to advance than before, so it’s still a good place to invest some xp. If it still gave as many HP as it used to, it would be a no-brainer to put LOTS of xp in it.

@erdraug: same as everyone else

If the knowledge bot is correct (see the link to the right), the formula used to be
(Fighting * XL) / 5

and is now
(Fighting * XL) / 8

You still get hitpoints by pumping the skill, but less than you used to.

How do the changes to Fighting impact Kenku? I used to rely on it to counterbalance their lack of HP on level up. Should i continue investing exp in it?

For anyone that wants a Mac universal native build, I’ve got one up.

Hey Crawl devs – feel free to rehost these binaries.

I’ve been trying to build it in Xcode as per the directions in INSTALL.txt, but it generates a bunch of errors starting with this:

In file included from AppHdr.h:384:
externs.h:9:18: error: vector: No such file or directory
externs.h:10:16: error: list: No such file or directory
externs.h:11:18: error: string: No such file or directory

externs.h:14:18: error: memory: No such file or directory
externs.h:15:19: error: cstdlib: No such file or directory
externs.h:16:17: error: deque: No such file or directory

Xcode 3.2.6, OS X 10.6.8
Unfortunately I haven’t used Xcode before so I’m not sure where to start looking to fix it.

We currently have no developer who is native on OSX. This is why it is always taking longer. A dedicater Mac user who can build could help a lot…

Teleport self got removed? So I have to rely on wands and scrolls now? Or did I miss something and there is another spell possibility?

Otherwise: nice job! Recently won my first game and will definitely go for more runes and webtiles fame.

Just cast the spells. The very first level accrues through use. Once it reaches level 1, you can then manipulate it on/off/focus.

Uh oh… How do you train buffs like Charms and Translocations when there isn’t an exp. pool?

So octopode got moved to v10? I got it to come up by repeatedly choosing a random race, but all class choices were then n/a.

Do I take it that Mac OSX Tiles version is not yet uploaded? Looking forward to getting Mac Tiles going as the most recent dev build is from… April! :) Thanks. –DG

Great. There may have been better names but Skald is OK. Maybe there is going to be some correlation with new Scandinavian brand.
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is not only a best roguelike but a best PC game too.
Thank you!

It’s good to see butchering streamlined. But I was hoping that Ashenzari would give his follower some alternate method of butchering with both hands bound… too bad.
