NotMyLeg -

I swear I put the line in the correct .rc file, but when I checked it this morning it had my team from 0.15 in it. :shrug:

Fixed. (username on S-Z is also all lowercase if that matters, don't actually know)

Nothing like a trip to the ER to take the wind or of your tourney start :bang:

. Sorry team, willing hopefully be out tomorrow.

In contrast, this was probably my worst tournament. Bad timing with regard to game releases and my excitement with playing after two deaths with two runes to stupidly avoidable BS tanked hard. Didn't even end up with a win. Sorry about that.

Nah, since the most high-end pure Transmutey sort of spell we have currently is Eldritch Portal, clearly what needs to happen is a bunch of tentacles attempt to latch on to every monster in LOS while you get rooted to the floor as you transform to a writhing column. Every monster connected to you grants you an immediate bonus to your HP that remains until spell is complete and then a bonus to HP regen while simultaneously taking damage until they die. Monsters will either do their normal actions towards you (attack if adjacent, spellcast, move closer, etc) or attempt to sever the tentacle. Spellcasting and attacking are unaffected, maybe a boost to EV is required because your armour slots are all merged and the weaving is disorienting (or dead bodies get pulled in for some temporary AC!).

Zin is horrified by this spell. I'm also horrified by my abomination.

Remain where you are. There is someone who wishes to speak with you.

Replace the amulet of clarity with the amulet of pain

The amulet of pain increases damage dealt and damage taken by 25%, which is bonkers! I mean, you either have to embrace the glass cannon or have diesel defenses, but still!

On the other hand, hahahaha gently caress you mummies and necromutation users, get MR or get hosed.

So, take away a good item (because gently caress you you don't get anything good without drawbacks to make it useless), and replace it with, what? a novelty item that will work really well up until the point it gets you killed?

That first sentence is a bit of a misnomer, considering that they removed stasis (an amulet that has drawbacks for the benefit of basically only resisting paralysis and slow, and thus is mainly only used on Tomb:1 against the sphinx ambush) for amulets of reflection (which are just a straight up benefit, and also come with SH built in if you don't have a shield). But yes, I would hope to see any source of irresistible confusion removed (Hell effects, Xom effects, CBoE failure, etc) or replaced with a resistible version if clarity is to stay removed.

Also, the novelty item is really cool gently caress you

Sure, but it's also the thing that might as well be called "This is the reason you will have died". I don't see using it at all.

I have no idea how this caster is still alive but it's turning into probably the best hybrid attempt I've had yet:

Surprisingly, the Singing Sword hasn't even come close to getting me killed yet. It's only sticking around until I get a few more points in Unamed, though.

I've never gotten demonic guardian 3 in all my demonspawn runs. I guess it'd be pretty cool to have your own fiends and hellions? Powered by death is my favourite.

Even at 2, getting sun demons and ice devils has been really useful. They've been tearing through Lair mobs.

I love how the thought process is "hey, there are too many wands because reasons" -> "I know, let's get rid of the good ones!"

Don't play trunk, don't play .18 if it comes out like this. Problem solved.
