Hi crawlers! Here’s what’s new in trunk:
- New summon spells:
- Summon Lightning Spire (L4 Summoning/Air), which places a lightning spire up to two squares away from the player; it replaces Summon Scorpions in the book of Callings.
- Summon Guardian Golem (L4 Summoning/Charms), which creates a golem that protects the player with Injury Bond and occasionally explodes on death; appears in the book of Callings.
- Summon Forest (L5 Summoning/Translocations), which summons a dryad and temporarily converts terrain near the player to forest; it is in the Book of the Warp.
- The speed brand now consistently grants 2/3 weapon delay and no damage reduction (previously it was 1/2 delay and 10% damage reduction for melee weapons).
- Fulminant Prism is now level 4 (was 5); Iskenderun’s Battlesphere is now level 5 (was 4).
- Formicids are no longer rPois- and have the same HP and XP aptitudes as humans.
- Grey rats, spiny worms, giant amoebae and deep dwarf berserkers (the monster) are no more.
- Spellbooks of types you have seen before are automatically identified (like staves).
- Racial weapons no longer generate.
- The rod of destruction now fires random bolts instead of having a pre-set spell list.
Enjoy the tweaks, and happy crawling!
