Just make the wrappings accept god-brands only and not any plusses.

Yes. Kinda. Scroll of Brand Weapon gives a random brand weighted towards fire & cold, then vorpal, then poison and others.

The crusader/skald book change was a good one. The Conjuror one sucks rear end. How does one know which was which? Perhaps the answer is in the timing. More recent changes are from the current jackasses. Pre-2015 are much safer/better than post-2016.

Fix Malmutate and rMut doesn't matter as much. It's also already on the alchemist hat, so you could add more fixedarts

The game is MASSIVELY about equipment luck, yeah. But more lucking into good resists than good offense.

Grandpa Okawaru definitely needs a boost. But it would be better for the weapons to be Neutral so you can let them be or decide to attack after you've seen it. Or let them deal with threats like freed slaves do

My problem with catelbopas clouds is that it makes a whole stream of them. Better to just fire off a single cloud like a draconian or a ring of clouds around the target like an ophan.

Lets see. We'd need a bunch of pizza, one quarterstaff, two daggers* (sais), a scimitar or longsword (katana), and either a dire flail with a special sprite or four clubs. Probably some good potions, too, for the casters. Defended by one rat & I guess 4 iguanas behind doors (until you have a lesser turtle coded). Could also say that 'Foot Clan Ninjas' (or robots) have taken over the hideout and set up the encounter that way, with a friendly Rat & Turtles on the other side of grates and some other enemies in the central area to defeat. The supercomputer or the subway car depends on how many versions you want to make. *or 5% chance for quickblades

1) I like the idea of making it more dangerous to be in Vaults without a Rune but leaving it around D14. Maybe a hell-effects thing but with the Sentinel/Warden/Convoker effect instead of miscasts? Or just randomly locking 1/2 the up-stairs in a level? 2) Entropy Weavers could also stand to lose one or two of their 4 attacks 3) I don't care which version of Ely you use. The current version is probably stronger overall, but a less unique playstyle 4) I don't know what this is.

cheetah7071 posted:All these ideas sound like they're replacing something kinda bad (the rune lock) with something much worse I see your point. I do like the Rune Lock a lot since it forces you to take risks instead of piling up the easiest XP first. But if we decided to do away with it, let's make it fun.

Okawaru is fine but boring. He was a lot more interesting when he got pissed off by allied deaths, because it limited a lot of otherwise obvious choices. I'd say base gift weighting heavily towards artifacts as as skill and/or level get above 20.

The thing about early Gnolls imo is that the free starting skills from your background count for way more than they do for anyone else.

Ice spell ideas: Speed skates that move you [number] of squares in a line per movement action, for [duration]. A single [square/target] version of the 'create a block of ice' effect that Glaciate uses to obstruct movement. (Ice/Poison?) The 'triple axel, double lutz' where you attack all the squares around you with 3x auxiliary kick, then do a short random blink and attack all the squares around your new location with 2x unarmed attack. This should probably let critters react during the duration. Something to do with boulder beetles as curling stones? Speleothing fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Mar 18, 2018 |

Slalom: the ice-only version of (semi) controlled blink. A spell that summons 6 'hockey player' humanoids with polearms from edge of LoS. One of them has heavier armor and a shield. Requires open space. Slopestyle 720: jump over two squares and attack them as you pass. Speleothing fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Mar 17, 2018 |

Microcline posted:The official reason given for Scroll of Brand Armour is that by far the optimal use would be boots so you could get the running ego. Just make it so that the scroll can only add elemental resists (rF, rC, rElec, rPois, rCorr, rN).

I feel like the dueling with St Roka might be hard to implement, because you'd need to stop your allies and his allies from joining in. But I'm not a coder.

Crab should get Hats-only, Cloaks+Scarves, Robes-only, and Boots. The resists are pretty important. Formicids get almost full slots so it's not too weird. Also, don't forget that the giant claw mutation comes with the only one hand (a la Ru) drawback. Edit: Unify the Barding item for crabs, nagas, and centaurs?

Make Silence & Invisibility better. Make all Short Blades have an equal stab bonus so you don't have to switch to a dagger. Also,   that suggestion about daggers being offhand weapons that enable stabsEdit: rename the to Hermetic Crabs to really drive home the magically-attuned theme Speleothing fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Apr 29, 2018 |

Lava Orcs and Djinni seemed to be kinda broken. The ideas work in theory, but I'm not sure they can just be re-implemented directly.

Fixing the melee math is a drat good idea, tho. Melee damage being a rand(1 to x+1) function instead of stacked ydx's is absolute bullshit. That you can do between 1dmg and 100dmg per swing at level 27 & skill 27 is quite possibly the dumbest idea in gaming history. Particularly since spell damage works on a ydx+z system, where y, x, & z depend on skill & ability score. And accuracy is somehow worse.
