Fun in crawl? This must be a mistake.

You try to play smart, but are undone by your fumble fingers: Fun.

Seems legit.

Warning: Crawl encountered errors during startup:

Did... did someone remove grunt? :gonk:

For even more fun, try "fake_lang = grunt, grunt, grunt, grunt".

Yep, and according to my morgue file it was this ring:
ring of Symmetry {+Blink rC+}
But I couldn't figure out how to actually use it. Probably would have been useful before I died v:shobon:v

You were looking at the right place, at least. Evokables like that appear in your 'a' menu.


Are you playing online, or offline? If you're playing online, you can probably get someone to spectate and answer your questions in real time.

Yeahh, even Zot traps will mess you up in a recoverable way, and they're supposed to be the "worst" ones.
Shadow traps throw you in a "you should have taken steps to avoid this five turns ago" situation in an instant, and the fact that enemies can trigger them and yet are friendly to the summoned attackers is just icing.

Don't forget that you can't always see them! Sometimes you press 'o' and find you've got half a dozen nasties (plus or minus a pack) completely surrounding you. Can you even pass a 'stealth' check with them, or are they always alerted to you?

I wonder if you could make shadow traps more interesting by making them into Word of Recall traps, including giving them the 3-turn delay.

This would actually be really interesting: you can't stop the recall now, but you do have at least a moment to run/buff/summon instead of just autoexploring into an inescapable fight with no rewards.

Is there any way to drop gold? I'm gonna assume no but I've been wrong about obscure stuff before.

No, nor is there generally a reason to. Gold takes up no inventory, has no weight and is otherwise completely intangible for all purposes between pickup and using it at a shop/Zin sacrifice.

One other thing that berserker offers as a zealot background is a from-the-get-go statement about magic. Some other backgrounds are unlikely to transition to much casting, but without that sort of magic rejection most characters could pick up apportation and animate skeleton, at the very least. Stating from the start that you're not using magic (or taking Trog wrath to do so) is kind of a notable change to how you play.

Wizmode report: If you abandon Ru 8 times after reaching full piety, don't reworship as Ru will have no more sacrifices to grant you. (I was trying to see if it was possible to sacrifice both hands as a Minotaur and headbutt my way to victory - it ain't)

What's even left at that point? You have a sickly, untrained one-armed thing stomping around loudly, it can't do magic, it can't manage to use anything at all except a one-handed weapon, every living thing loathes it on sight, it's practically falling apart as you look at it, and when it sees you it starts screaming uncontrollably and loses whatever meager skill it's attained.

Death would be a mercy.

I swear Vehumet hates me. :saddowns:

I'm running a TeCj, skilled up about 12 in fire and air, 0 in the other three elemental schools, and among my gifts:

Sandblast, Throw Icicle, Venom Bolt, Iron Shot, and my final three were Glaciate, LCS, and Chain Lightning.

Guess I have to hope for Annihilations to spawn.

People should also start suggesting names for the new thread (and it'd be nice if someone else volunteered to make it; two is enough for me.)

I'll volunteer. Mind if I steal your template/anyone else feel like suggesting things that need to be changed?

I've got the 0.16 thread ready to post; should I post now for a thread to recruit team members, or wait until the tournament is right on us?
