Blood armour is loving awesome, but a real hubris trap. At full power, it gives you +9 AC once you take about 50% damage. An orc warrior who's beating on you suddenly just plinks off of your blood armour. Do not get excited and take on an entire welcoming committee in spider's nest, because you feel invincible when you're injured, though. I hear... you know, from a friend who's not me, that that's really dumb.

Full power is +12! It's a really good scales mutation. Also another reason to be sad when you inevitably get rough black scales instead, aka the worst scales mut.

The worst demonic mutations are those that make you lose body slots.

The worst demonic mutation is hellfire because it always arrives way too late to be useful. Also it makes me hope I'm getting ignite blood, a sweet mutation I never receive.IronicDongz posted:Yeah I love rough black scales, actually. I will always take the trade of -3 dex for +10 armor.

Someone Awful! posted:also I'm glad to see more new vaults being added! is vault-making complicated? is there a tutorial anywhere? You can get pretty fancy with it, but the basics aren't too bad. It's the best documented part of crawl dev (probably start with the introduction file, which is more or less a tutorial?), and making a simple vault doesn't take too long. Vault-making doesn't require you to be able to compile the game, either; vaults are reloaded every time the game starts, so you can edit to your hearts delight on a local copy of the game without needing the source. There's also a visual editor lurking around. It's a little dated (check out those sparkling fountain tiles!), but should probably still make very basic usable vaults.

I tend to forget that airstrike works that way until I get slapped with it, since nothing else really punishes flying in that way. also in tengu unreasons:

Eela6 posted:In "the scar" , Bellis attends a ritual combat / gladiator event with a battle between scabmetters, who cut themselves open in order to make armor out of their rapidly coagulating blood. Sanguine Armour is a suggestion for Ds mutations I made eons ago on the dev wiki and forgot about (along with several other less-good ideas). I mentioned them recently and PF liked Sanguine Armour enough to implement. I don't remember exactly what the inspiration was, but I have read "The Scar", and now that I think about it, I suspect the scabmettlers actually were a big inspiration for it. (Possibly with a little something from Vampire: the Requiem thrown in too.)

really the problem with going jiyva IMO is that you don't get to keep your mutations long enough to really enjoy them, especially the jiyva-specific ones. overall she's pretty boring and lackluster, though slimify is definitely useful at times....

Jiyva's selling point is definitely slimify, if you want a good mutation roulette Xom is significantly better.

I don't remember most of the Jivya specific mutations but I do remember that golden eyes is really really good if you get level 3. If Jivya reliably gave you their goodmuts to keep they would be good. Also if they didn't swap your stats based on very dubious logic.Poison Mushroom posted:Time to go blood hunting, I guess. Vampires are always undead no matter how much blood they have, and thus always unholy. It's a major downside of vampires in extended (besides the lack of drinks), they have living vulnerabilities and undead vulnerabilities at the same time. Gloorx can be especially nasty. Or you can go bloodless for the torment resistance and be a kinda lovely lich/deep dwarf hybrid. e: Actually I guess in recent times the lack of drinks has lessened. Anubis guards, doom hounds, shard shrikes, iron giants. It's still not great in Tomb/Hells but at least it's not totally dry. Darox fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Jun 23, 2016 |

I want to defend Tengus from Ironic's posts, but I really can't. I kill so many of the squishy bastards. They still my favorite race as their apts match my playstyle a bunch and the innate fly with bonuses rock, but being as fragile as a DE or an Ko is vicious sometimes.

You could probably kill them with iron shot. Or nice summons or something. They have 15 AC, which is more than most monsters but you don't need insane damage to kill themWorld Famous W posted:I want to defend Tengus from Ironic's posts, but I really can't.
