polearms are nice if you move quickly too - definitely a good centaur melee weapon

Uhh... yes you're right nevermind.

(Okay doing this exercise from memory reminded me of which gods I never pick.)

What letter does TSO count as

The number 1 - there are 26 letters plus him to make for a full pantheon of 27 gods.

GrEE, HOFE, MfIE. SpCj wrecks the early game but might run into trouble later.

Enchant armor those boots as soon as you find one because you're never taking them off. I would use the +9 morningstar.

sweet, one of my ghosts has killed Lasty. Probably the 12 runer I lost in Hell.

edit: wait something seems weird on that page - it says I was killed by ghosts of Raderak, Lasty, flyleaff, Stendarr, and dornbeast (the dornbeast kill is on a separate row). However, it also says that my ghosts have killed all 5 of them. What are the odds of that? Is something funky here?

(I'm patheticliltramp on crawl in case anyone wants to look)

That page has two tables on it, one indexed by killer and the other by victim. Perhaps you're unknowingly looking at both.

Nemelex decks could also just be made to scale off invocations like other god abilities.

that is literally what I just suggested

Somehow I only read the response and assumed the suggestion was to just remove deck scaling. Sorry I failed to read.

Why does DCSS even have auto train anymore? Does anyone use it?

It makes better decisions than many new players manually picking what sounds good to train.

We considered something like this when we switched it to the way it is now, but if I recall correctly we thought it looked too busy and hard to read. Maybe it could be an rc option?

The people who most need it use the default rc though. Maybe the game should check if you're a new player, by polling akrasiac if you're online and looking for high scores if you're offline, and give additional suggestions based on that?

I would take freezing over elect in Snake/Zot because it slows a lot of the creatures there.

Make every race have a "demonspawn" flag you can set that lowers all aptitudes by 1 and gives vulnerability to holy wrath in exchange for sweet powers.

I was thinking something similar actually. Why not make buff spells always on and always have x mp deducted until they're turned off? Or for haste, aggressive penalties like per turn mp, hunger, or drain? I agree that the charms become no brainers after you get them running consistently, but they're still fun and interesting. If balance has been the concern as it seems in the last few years of crawl iterations, there are many ways to keep good spells (e.g. bring back fulsome distillation.)

Also yes to more inner fire.

Every permutation possible has been discussed already, this one...might work? The thing is, it basically is giving permanent buffs to characters who don't use their mana for no downside other than (relatively low) skill investment. Granted, it's kinda doing that already, but I think people would rather eliminate that than acknowledge it and implement ease-of-use knobs in the meantime.

Making them stronger and really short in duration is another proposal.

protip for zot 5: worship Xom whole game to get incredible mutation set, then have him randomly teleport you into the orb room 2 steps away from the orb with a permanent tele trap right next to it which teleports you near the upstairs
playable here in one of the experimental branches. They're like ogres but worse at melee, considerably better at magic(and with more MP than normal), and are somewhat stealthy.

With those mutations you could have won without equipment, geez.
