Just started getting into this game, it's great!

I noticed that when I have the skill screen open I try to leave it on my training percentages, but sometimes when I open it it's set to 'cost' and I have to double '!' to go back to 'training' numbers. Any idea on what's causing this and how to stop it?

an upcoming pull request:

mire hags: sludge elves, but theyre not elves anymore, theyre people who got goofed up by old magic and turned into cackling. witches. yes. (species name semi-placeholdery, feel free to give alternative suggestions for names. metoron has proposed fuath and vough as names from scottish folklore)

yetis: sneaky large species with wild magic 1 and more "civilized" weapon apts then their other large brethren. theyre bad at summoning and necromancy because i dont want them to have friends

carcinia: hey remember when i suggested that crab-themed mutant species with a shield/strong punch built into one limb yeah theyre here and kinda beefy. have regular feet now tho cause im lazy

dwarrow: hi folks its me, mountain dwarf, your dungeon delver and best friend (now with slight apt changes, dd/gnome style passive mapping but timed later, and a bunch of MR)

dverger: gnome, except the fluff is completely different now and theyre small dwarves from deep deep down who love to gently caress and also have both a strong evoc aptitude and mp wands 2. theyre halfling-sized but still kinda dwarfy

madhkur: the deep dwarf's equivalent to the swamp hag. very experimental, they're undead dwarves that have deterioration and risk statrot when they use their healing ability (theyre trying not to turn back into unliving worms). probably broken.

grey elves: adding these guys back in for to fill in the elf-shaped hole, theyre basically low elves that are phenomenally good and sneaking and favor elemental magic. no mutations or pseudomutations because i like the idea that all the elves are just humans w weird stats and apts (rip glamoour lmao)

im halfway tempted to add in goblins as a challenge species w like, human apts but diminished stats and small but im just wanting this to compile at this point tbh

Gooncrawl status update:

Initial batch of permabuffs are now in for testing (finally)! All castable versions of transmutation forms should now be permabuffs (cast once to reserve the MP and keep the form indefinitely, cast again while it is active to release the spell). If nobody notices anything too buggy, I'll start working on converting the other voted spells over to permabuffs as well. Current known bugs: You will get informed multiple times that you lost control of your spells if you untransform from a form that melds your body armor and your shield.

Currently, MP reserved is equal to the spell level of the permabuff without any modifiers AKA you only need to get it castable once and it can be maintained for the spell's level of MP until you change/equip body armor or shields or your max MP can no longer sustain the spell (will drop all permabuffs). If the MP reserved is too little or too low effort for heavy armor after people get their hands on it to mess around, there's a couple things I can insert:
  • Add a modifier to total MP reserved based on some combination of Armor skill/Spellcasting Skill/Encumbrance/Strength (similar to Hellcrawl, but I can't do it on a per-spell basis due to implementing it differently)
  • Change the reserve cost of a spell to be different from the spell level (ex Necromut is a Level 8 spell but could reserve 15 MP)
  • Similar to the one above, change the spells to reserve a percentage of max MP instead of a static value (similar to Path of Exile reserved spells)
  • Any other ideas anyone can think of, as well as any combination of the above+other ideas as well.

As an aside, I forgot to prevent Djinni from worshipping Trog because they are made of magic. Any preference on changing it vs keeping what it currently is anyways?

When do the wizard starter spells start dropping off in effectiveness?

Heithinn Grasida

...must attack and fall upon them with a gallant bearing and a fearless heart, and, if possible, vanquish and destroy them, even though they have for armour the shells of a certain fish, that they say are harder than diamonds, and in place of swords wield trenchant blades of Damascus steel...

Magic dart falls off pretty fast, and it’s best to have another plan for dealing with enemies by the time you have to face beefy early-mid game enemies like orc warriors or yaks. Conjure flame is great all the way through lair and late D, meph cloud can be really strong even in lair branches and retains some utility in vaults (shutting down convokers.) I usually stop casting summon imp by the beginning of lair, but you can probably squeeze decent use out of it through the end of D as a way to get meph cloud resistant distractions, especially if you don’t have any other summons and aren’t really spending your MP on better stuff.

The great thing about wizard is that you get your whole starting kit for a tiny bit of investment, which means you have a powerful set of utility skills through the early mid-game that can cover and support you while you develop into pretty much any character type you want. Low starting strength makes armor a problem and weapon damage a little awkward, but wizard is still a premier hybrid start.

Good to know.

I've never won a caster other than a skald so I really wanna knock this wizard run out. It really is an amazing toolkit early on.

What species do y'all generally like for wizard? I'ce been using kobold for a stabber caster hybrid which works pretty well, but I think taking a page from the skald handbook and using magic to augment polearm melee damage would be a bit more effective.

Deep Elf, purest of blaster casters. Pray for an early Vehu altar.

E: Speaking of blaster casters, can I petition for Gooncrawl to move Buddysphere back to lvl 4? That change is what made me drop conjurers.

E2: Speaking of buddysphere and having checked the wiki, can I petition for Gooncrawl to put Buddysphere back into the conjurations starting book?

for un mephable reptiles I spam cast summon imp till I get a few ice imps then run around and drop a conjure flame if I still have mana. That usually kills them or lets you get away

But by then hopefully you have something else to kill them with like sticky flame or an ice spell or a branded weapon
