Suggestions?

In terms of raw damage, the +6 randart morningstar will be your best bet.

-Tele on a weapon isn't TOO bad, since you can swap off it if you really need to. Worse than a piece of jewelry, though, but way better than a -Tele armor (don't do this unless you are crazy and/or a Formicid)

If your Mace/Flail skill is low-ish, the +10 mace is probably better, though.

a lot of them are kind of a stretch, but the basic concept is neat. Patches Welcome, as always.

H was added (a day) after U, so U's guaranteed to be in there somewhere. They're temple gods, so they both show up in every game. Keep looking!

This game needs horses so that the vault can use one of those.

At the very least add hell horses since we already have hellephants and hellpigs and hell lions.

At least that one kinda makes sense in context of the entire list, but Kobold -> Boggart is a mystery to me.

I think it will miss on Draconians after level 7, if my rcfile erring is any indication (you.race() will no longer be "Draconian").

If it weren't for that Dex-2, I'd be in love with this thing. As is, can't decide between that, and a regular old +2 greatsling of flaming.

It probably outdamages the greatsling until the latter reaches +6 or so, and will hit a lot more, and MR is good, and you probably use at least one of str or int so it's a net boost to stats. I'd use it.

Wulndraste basically superpowered your HP and MP, gave you a lot of regen, but didn't let you take stairs back up if there was more to the branch you were on. Never got a chance to try it out on Tomb.

Igni Ipthes (Smith God) was basically the God of "making uniques drop weapons" which was actually pretty drat powerful.

Ukayaw was actually removed from the game.

You might be looking for Uskayaw, which is Ukayaw but presumably with a fake mustache.

These gods sound pretty cool. I'd like to play Minotaur Fighter/Berserker of Igni Ipthes. :shobon:

Is there still a penalty to training "opposite" elemental spell schools?

Actually, can someone explain to me how to wizard mode? I could answer half of my questions myself but I never figured out wizmode.

No cross training penalties anymore other then spreading your exp around.

If you are talking about Blaster Casters, then be Te or De, worship Vehumet, dump every level into INT, and never turn off Conjuration and whatever your element is till you get the lvl 9 spell castable by the time you are ending your first lair branch. Also die a whole lot before you reach that stage, but my god nothing is better then firestorming the end vaults of Snake, Spider, etc to death.

If you want a caster with a better then 10% early game survival rate then someone else will have to speak up.

There is no more penalties to training opposite spell schools. Wizmode is activated by hitting & and confirming with yes, then you can see all the commands with ?.

it's still a "waste" in that you don't need high levels of multiple elements (training two skills that do the same thing), but sometimes by the time you want new spells that's what you have and you have to live with it.

I had no idea that yaktaurs could

a) Wear centaur barding and
b) Activate the intrinsic armor property of flight.

Seeing one cruising around over deep water in the Depths was a pretty amusing surprise.

Usually this stuff is dropped because someone gets bored/has a real life, but anyone else (yourself included) could pick it up and keep working on the idea

The original plan is here; it was implemented as Wulndraste, but never made it into trunk. Didn't work out that excitingly. Pity!

I still think some of the stronger no-stairdancing conducts (on the wiki page) might've been more interesting than W ended up, but c'est la vie... maybe we'll go back to it someday.

I see.

On an unrelated note, I hope you guys track down the shift+click problem. This time I had a rather fresh autosave though, so nothing of value was lost. I'm just going to use drop menu from here on.

I've found some pretty ridiculous randart armors before, but that has them all beat. You'd better not die! Also on a DsMo^Chei with claws and ignite blood... That's just too much good luck for one game!
