I would be astonished if your proposed version of “easy mode” (ie, previous playthroughs impact future games) were ever implemented. However, if you want a more relaxed game, you can press the + key to enter Explore Mode, where death is optional.

Do you think you could implement an ‘easy mode’, where your highscores for said easy mode get converted into post-death upgrade points? Possible things to spend points on being more stat points, aptitudes, hp/mp, better starting gear etc. This would be mainly for the more casual DCSS player who wants a chance to win, without needing to minmax the character and spend 100+ lives to do it. Also not something I’d expect to see for a while, if at all.

Gnolls are meh. Just did 3 rune win in about 5 tries. Lava Orc of the Month. I agree that a way to make them more interesting would be to give them an ability that counteracts their inherent extended weakness, thus probably some sort of torment resistance since the end-game is mostly about torment survival currently. The back story could be that their short-attention span makes them more easily move on from torturous pain, thus they take 50% less torment damage, which is further reduced by rN+ and deity-based abilities.

Gnolls seem really weak. How could you compensate for their weakness; How would you be able to get past 3 runes if the highest level you can get a skill is 17?

Hyped for Gnolls. Those guys are actually interesting.
