icantfindaname posted:Is it worth training stealth as a melee tank? I’ve played two or three games as experiments and it seems neat but if I’m just going to kill things with an axe anyway what’s the point? My rules of thumb: Plate and above (18+ ER)-> don't train FDA (11 ER) -> might be useful if you have spare EXP or favorable apts Robe/leather (4- ER) -> always get at least some Stealth increases the damage of stabs, but that's generally not important for melee tanks barring goofy edge cases like invis evokers. For non stabbers big benefits are being able to walk away from encounters and not attracting as much attention (this is especially useful in Abyss and Pan). It also makes monsters chasing you more likely to forget you when out of sight. Ignoring bonuses/maluses the stealth formula is stealth = 3*dex + 15*SK_STEALTH -2 × (Encumbrance rating)^2 / 3 There's no penalty for going below 0, and the effects will probably become noticeable at around 100 as the detection formula is roughly a (22 + HD) / stealth chance per turn. Unlike the casting and evasion penalties the stealth penalty is unaffected by strength. To get 100 stealth at 15 dex, GDA (23 ER): 27 levels of stealth skill Plate (18 ER): 18 levels of stealth skill FDA (11 ER): 9 levels of stealth skill Leather (4 ER): 4 levels of stealth skill

what if jiyva had a percentile chance for items eaten by jellies to be dropped at your feet god-gift style

What if she only rarely gave back but it would be in form of randarts that would accumulate some of the stats of the stuff the slimes ate (or if you instead got a high piety cost ability to dump them all into a generic item to get a randart with them)

worshipping jivya now turns you into a jelly, you absorb items to temporarily gain their benefits (if they're equipment) or consume them (if they are potions food etc)

So I kept thinking on it and I have an idea on pake and rods that would work with the new wand system. Otherwise I have no real idea for 'em then just drop rods and supercharge and bring pake back as a god that just allows infinite wand charges with slight boosting. The idea for the new Pake and Rods is bring rods back in a complete new form that only drop come from Pake.
*New Rod changes
Idea being turning Pake into a god where you have to abandon having magic in a more controllable sense for near infinite wand charges and a few powerful tools that will provide access to a widely random assortment of spells. Like I said, I would love to have classic Pake back to, but with all the major changes to wand and evocables since they were in game I just not sure how classic Pake could fit.

So Pakellas becomes the god of magic shotguns? Sounds like a god I'd worship.

https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=25154 A new fork just came out called dcss-spicy, which adds a lot of gameplay modifiers that can be mixed and matched, such as difficulty levels, an alternate exp system, unlimited ammo and instakill protection. EDIT: BTW, what would people think of a Wu Jian Council buff in Gooncrawl? The two things I'd buff are 1) make martial arts deal more damage. Right now they're on par with or worse than tabbing except for their tactical uses, so that you don't have to use them in every fights and can instead just tab. But if you took WJC on purpose you probably WANT to not just tab, so why not make them advantageous for people who want to use WJC? It's not like he'd be the most broken god in the game suddenly (that would still go to Trog, Kiku, Nemelex or whatever). (Alternatively or additionally, they could give you a one turn EV bonus.) 2) Make amulet of the acrobat work with martial arts attacks. If this turns out to be broken AF, it can give 50% or 33% EV instead of the full 15. Another thing WJC could do is make you extremely good at cross-training (all melee weapons use the skill of your highest weapon skill level. Or maybe it's a % thing based on piety) EDIT: Megabyss update - Megabyss corruption is in. After hitting Abyss:27, every floor in the dungeon will be corrupted in 1d3 random areas. It stacks with Lugonu corruption, so if you also worship Lugonu you can corrupt every level in TWO different ways. Messed with the balance a little more, once I'm happy with it I'll make a pull request. I also made deep Abyss's item spawning rate go up rapidly. It's an itemsplosion! I think this will make going to deep Abyss fun and profitable. Patashu fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Feb 28, 2018 |

actual feature request: new pilgrim background that serves at the zealot equivalent of a wanderer. starts w shortsword, robe, mediocre skill in fighting/dodging/stealth/invocations(unless god doesn't use invocations). oh and 3 stars of piety but with a randomly selected god random god is selected from a pool excluding gods who are specific to existing zealot classes already

The most I've managed is snatching the Abyssal rune directly from an AK start, but I always entertained the idea of surviving the Abyss indefinitely starting from level 1, maybe it's possible with good loot in Megabyss :O

Ok, after fixing a crash bug (oops) and getting the balancing good-enough, Megabyss pull request made. I am sure there's room for improvement. https://github.com/Floodkiller/crawl/pull/12 EDIT: Also made a pull request for two reversions - noise breaking mesm/fear, disint/iood/bolt of energy digging walls. https://github.com/Floodkiller/crawl/pull/13 Patashu fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Mar 1, 2018 |

As long as a vault submission isn't incredibly dangerous/generous/out of place, I'll likely just merge it without requiring a survey. Go nuts and submit! E- Fun crawlcode tidbit I learned making that vault: monster deep dwarf damage shaving will let a monster survive being hit by the Axe of Woe (the infinite damage axe from meatsprint).

Smoke_Max posted:Played my second game today as a minotaur berserker, got banished to the Abyss somehow and died fighting a reaper. I think I'll try another class. MiBe is literally the easiest class. Getting banished is bullshit that's kinda hard to avoid; if you find out you're getting it by distortion you need to kill whoever's responsible ASAP or run. It's one of the less forgiving mechanics in the game.

I think it was distortion then, good to know that exists. The wiki page for distortion even helpfully points out that the thing I was fighting had it (Sonja). I'll avoid her next time instead of trying to bash her head in.

It tells you if an enemy has a distortion weapon. It's worth checking what they have when enemies come into view.

A lot of early uniques and monsters who can have scary weapons or distortion weapons also have pretty low MR. If you find a wand of paralysis or polymorph, hitting them with it can neutralize the threat pretty easily. Sometimes you don't find one tho and should run away

okay here's a detailed proposal for okawaru equipment gifting: after slaying a red-tier monster, okawaru will send you a randomly generated warrior spirit w good gift equipment. they're a pretty sticky summon, they only go away when they're defeated or you take the stairs. if you hit them at full health to initiate a duel with them and win, you get their stuff. if you attack them under full health, okawaru disapproves of your dishonorable methods and gives the ghost might or haste or both you get the idea. ammo should probably still be gifted the normal way though e: can we bring back the jester class btw Tollymain fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Mar 2, 2018 |
