I swear drop rate of exp pots has increased in trunk. I went from literally never seeing them to finding stacks of 2 just by the dungeon entrance. found them early in 4 games in the last two days and it's getting nuts.

Does anyone know why Ashenzari isn't in Hellcrawl? I assume it's because the tight XP curve is a major part of the design, but reading the Tavern makes me depressed, so I don't feel like going to check.

I tried hellcrawl for the first time this weekend and oh my god I haven't had this much fun playing crawl in a long time. Just blitzing through everything as a gnoll skald was everything I wanted from crawl.

Also: Ogres still have +3 M&F. Troll/Ogre Skalds are high comedy. Trollhide Armor + Regen + Ozo + Song of Slaying + Special Weapon Giant Club (pref with a slaying ring which will either be +3 or +6) Archenteron fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Dec 11, 2017 |

was just having a problem in hellcrawl on berotato where Vaults:3 (the last level) was crashing every ~20 seconds and reverting me to an old save. Caused me to die because I was trying to rush through the same parts over and over and save+quit before the crash happened, but getting worse luck each time. I've had the odd crash here and there in hellcrawl before, but Vaults:3 was consistently crashing before I could get much done. Don't know if Hellmonk reads this thread but I don't post about crawl anywhere else.

Is there any way to stop casting a spell in hellcrawl? I'm playing a skald and am not sure I want to keep infusion up and running for the rest of my life.

apple posted:I see what you mean but FWIW healing back then cured rot which is a good, permanent effect while invis/haste are temporary so your use cases are much more limited. Option 4, Bob quote:Add malmutate to random effects (|amethyst) In reality, this is probably a buff to the effectiveness of the wand outside of the HOM tactics. Monsters don't zap random effects (so no random monster magically gets Malmutate), and Malmutate against a monster is a guaranteed -8 AC, -25% HD. That's basically acid+draining's effects without the damage, and without giving the monster a chance to resist (since it doesn't check MR or defences) unless it is flat-out immune. Edit: It also doesn't wear off. I wonder if Malmutate works on Pan/Hell Lords...zap until you Malmutate, tele away if they get Haste, come back and fight a permanently weaker boss.

Floodkiller posted:Option 4, Bob This is a reasonable solution to that problem. (And that's not sarcasm; giving it a new debuff you really don't want to be hit with on a wand that you usually point at monsters unless you are gambling is a good solution.) I don't think any monster except those that are undead or nonliving is immune to malmutate except (very) ugly things, which just change colour.

Well according to the devs a TeWz is supposed to make HeWz redundant but they have totally different casting apts. Weird  There really isn't a replacement. DeWz is the closest thing but you have to adjust to how fragile they are. HuWz or DeWzcan also be similar by virtue of being able to do anything but that's about it.

I've been playing hellcrawl exclusively lately where gnoll skald is probably borderline broken but I think any hybrid strat should be good. Since you have no opportunity cost to skilling, you can just do whatever the dungeon gives you. If you find an early Sif Muna altar, go ahead! If you find a busted chain mail artifact armor instead, put it on and just worship a different god. It's not like you have "wasted" points in magic skills like you would if you were any other race aiming to be a caster.

That's good to know, since I also am now crashing at the start of V:3. Kobold Skald of Okawaru is like a smaller angrier Gnoll that happens to occasionally spontaneously mutate. 15+ in all weapon skills? Yeah sure I've gone from hand axes to venom flails to flaming scimitars to quarterstaves of pain and speed to a Demon Trident of Freezing + Shield

I don't think there's a race that plays the same as High Elves did, but you can try HuWz or DEWz. DE isn't really the same in that it feels very painful to take into melee due to awful weapon aptitudes, low HP and weak fighting, whereas HEWz could get into melee very comfortably and very early. If you want an archer hybrid, though, it was always better than HE. Hu isn't really the same because you can spread your skills out all over everywhere the way HE could. But it's overall fairly similar to HE while also probably being stronger. Zaodai posted:I haven't even played Hellcrawl and he still sounds like the best Crawl dev. Devs for the vanilla game do the same thing, and I'm pretty sure have also fixed peoples save files for them in this thread. There are a lot of things I like about hellcrawl and a lot of things I don't. But I do respect that hellmonk is willing radically change things that people perceive as problems with the game and I think hellcrawl is a good way to test crazy ideas.

Cheibro statue octopus dudes got me my first win in Hellcrawl! The orb run is much more intense than vanilla, and feels so rewarding when you reach the dungeon exit. Dealing with hell + pan lords + orb effects is nutty. I love the pacing of hellcrawl; it consistently gets harder and doesn't put you through any long stretches of mindless floor diving to get all the runes. And it can be completed in about the same time as a 3-rune game of vanilla which is nice. quote:144535914 jerkstore the Wrestler (level 27, 212/232 HPs) http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue/jerkstore/morgue-jerkstore-20171214-051736.txt

You weren't joking, Hellcrawl plays like normal crawl on amphetamines. The lack of upstairs takes some getting used to but there are so many other changes that just make the game fun that it could be tough to go back to vanilla.

A true king would hide behind all his disposable mooks. That's the point of royalty, you send your dirt farming peasants out to die by the truckload so you can have a slightly fancier hat. Now if only TRJ actually got a fancier hat based on how many slimes you've killed.
