Fhqwhgads: Jul 18, 2003; I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THIS GAME WHO GETS LAID

You redirect the merfolk impaler's attack!
The merfolk impaler hits the merfolk impaler with a trident of distortion!!
The merfolk impaler is devoured by a tear in reality.

I don't think this will ever get old. He abyssed me first, I got out quickly, and next attack *bamf*

Edit: Two of them in a row just distorted themselves. They were both attacking me at the same time.

Boy did it take me a while to realize Vehumet doesn't give you mana for Singularity kills. I sure hope Tornado gets you some. :saddowns:

That's because the singularity is the object that is killing it; Vehumet only gives mana when you kill something yourself (so summons won't work either). Tornado will work because you are the one generating the winds.

Crap. Now I'm considering just switching to Chei and becoming a high stat, slow moving killing machine.

Most of the other dragon tiles look really good though. Only ones I think need to be changed are iron dragons and golden dragons. They have dumb dopey heads.

Golden, Iron and Pearl dragons are the ones specifically on the tiling block. I agree that the other ones are good for now but I do have an idea to improve them slightly. That can be put off for later though.

This is the first time I've realized that the fire/storm dragon have a long skinny neck curling down. I never looked closely at the tile and always thought they had a big goofy round head with a tusk underbite.

Yeah I was gonna say that Pearl Dragons look dopey as hell. Also, Roctavian is too much of a chicken to give TRJ a crown and a double tall sprite so you should do that.

Stats develop based on the kind of gear you eat. Artifacts can't be digested but you can keep one inside of you to absorb its properties.

Dying at Ziggurat 22 in an attempt to find an rCorr source so you can do Slime. #JustDCSSThings

Edit: You never feel like Deep Elves have low HP values until you're in the line of fire of a bunch of hellions and pan lords.

DoubleEdit: It's become like a mental condition for me, doesn't matter that a character can get the orb anymore, and extended is a sometimes thing, it's about consistently clearing ziggs :argh:

Ferrinus: Jun 19, 2003; i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world

IMO fire dragons should be red and swamp dragons should be the green that fire dragons are now.

I agree, mostly because fire dragons should be the same colour as fire drakes. (I guess the drakes could turn green instead.)

You don't need rCorr for slime. Especially if you can get that far into a zigg

Oh, this became incredibly obvious after getting a supersaturated slime floor and leaving it without losing more than a quarter of my hp. I considered stepping out but there's a part of my brain that goes from 'lets be reasonable, if things start getting scary we simply step out' to. '27 OR BUST MOTHERFUCKER!!!' as soon as I hit > on that gold and purple portal.

Thug Lessons: Dec 14, 2006; I lust in my heart for as many dead refugees as possible.

If you were going for 15 you can definitely do Slime without rCorr if you've been able to brave Tomb, the Hells, and Pan. If you were going for 3 you should have taken one of the other branches instead, probably the Abyss.

rCorr is useful but definitely not necessary for Slime, in my opinion. I think rMut is much more useful because of the goddam shining eyes. Guess it depends on what character you're running though.

I'm with you on ziggurats though. Gotta clear em all...

rCorr is still really useful, I wouldn't understate how much it helps.

That's it, basically. At some point I went from 'oh my god my first win and I can't believe I did it with FOUR runes'to 'Ugh, this lame loving character cant even clear 12 floors of zigg after clearing Zot, what was I thinking?'

Didn't tele out right away when I pulled Jory up from Tomb:3 because I thought he would be useless silenced, and my holy triple crossbow could shred him. Eight or so missed shots later...

code:

512231 Floodkiller the Sniper (level 24, -5/221 (222) HPs)
             Began as a Centaur Hunter on Feb 21, 2015.
             Was the Champion of the Shining One.
             Slain by Jory
             ... wielding a +0 broad axe
              (14 damage)
             ... on level 2 of the Tomb of the Ancients on Feb 27, 2015.
             The game lasted 04:38:07 (84417 turns).

P - the +12 great sword "Fevoxul" (weapon) {pain, rF+ rC++ MR-}
(You bought it in a shop on level 8 of the Dungeon)

Uhhhhh I've never been a huge fan of 2H swords but I think this one might be okay. The MR- has me a little worried, though.

s - the +2 cloak "Crab Pni" (worn) {rF+ rC+ rCorr Int+3}
(Xom gifted it to you on level 6 of the Dungeon)

Xom being a bro for once in his life also helps
