Jon Joe posted:Reading through the design docs, I think I have a pretty good idea now how to impliment new species. I'm currently working on an Abomination species, an item-dependent crime against nature. Before I go through all the effort of implimenting it, I'd like to fetch what you all think of the idea. Just a fluff thing as a negative modifier, but I definitely think Fedhas would absolutely despise this thing, as would the good gods, but I'm more on the fence on the good gods. Fedhas though? woo, this thing really rustles their leaves. edit: and Trog, as it's being held together by magic, but that'd probably be too drat cruel Victory Position fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Oct 23, 2018 |

Internet Kraken posted:Mulching as a mechanic exists because the devs don't want you to be able to use ranged weapons exclusively. Kind of annoying since it means you have to scrounge for ammunition constantly. non-artifact weapons now mulch after a certain amount of uses. put those hundreds of weapons you find on the floor to good use! ![]()

Serephina posted:FWIW my SpEn (from yeaaaars ago) used a lightning rapier for Zot. I also had a Halfling clear out most of extended using an ordinary sling with a random brand. So, uh, biggest&best isn't always necessary. with this post, duvessa suddenly suggests that weapons that are not heaviest or skill-intensive in class be nerfed to better represent weapon power across the board

Internet Kraken posted:or casting death's door (not sure how that would of kept me from being teleported) I'm still of the position that I think it's really funny that the devs insist that you absolutely have to invest in Necromancy to have a shot at extended

Floodkiller posted:Totally agree on throwing though, it takes way more investment than Slings with less payoff if you don't have ammo gifts or a find a nice source of throwing instruments. It's only a safe bet on characters who can use large rocks. They're locked to very few species as well, more or less pigeonholing you into throwing those large rocks. I always wondered why something like Charms didn't have a spell that allows you to levitate and then throw large rocks for the other species.

Sort of tempted to give trunk another go, what with Fedhas being updated. At the very least you don't have to sacrifice rations to get your tower defense game of oklobs going.

Indecisive posted:did they remove Passage of Golubria? That was my go-to for tomb for a while, and way easier to get castable in armor than cblink, used that on a FoFi although admittedly that was in .20 almost 2 years ago I don't think so, but mainline dev enmity for Earth Magic has been ramping up over the last few versions. edit: oops, that's a Translocation spell ![]() Victory Position fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Nov 13, 2019 |

Mr. Lobe posted:How so? The grabby hands spell seems like it was a big boon for earth. They reduced the damage somewhat, but the big kicker was the reduction in destroying the hell out of the dungeon with Lee's Rapid Deconstruction. It's a change I still haven't forgiven ![]()

Ferrinus posted:Poison's an alchemical discipline, eh? Remind me - do acids have anything to do with alchemy? No? Really, I thought- well, huh, okay You would think this, but I guess the development team is still hung up on having Poison as a non-endgame school of magic.

If I've got one moonshot idea for late-game Poison use, it's this: Let it synergize with Jiyva worship and allow such worship to do unimaginably goofy things to what was once merely your stings and clouds.

PMush Perfect posted:Grats! If you're playing Gooncrawl, try out a Faerie Dragon Conjurer next, they're a great introduction to playing casters. Gargoyle Earth Elementalist is also an excellent choice, as you gain quite a good amount of natural AC and you get access to the high power of Earth magic. It's pretty easy to slot in another school if you start coming up against highly armored foes; if you find a book with Firestorm or Glaciate, you'll be able to use them by the time you hit level 27. It's such a strong combination that it's the one that has carried me through a full 15-rune run and a few ziggurats!

The cowards will put in an ego that's boosted solely by Evocations but have not the courage to reimplement rods or Pakellas. (or let Nemelex decks spawn at random in the dungeon, because you need to draw Famine on your first pull)

Gorelab posted:Generally part of game design is making sure the optimal way to play the game isn't the most tedious because a lot of people will just do the optimal tediousness and then bounce off. However this feels like a worse way of doing a clock than food, to be honest. I was on-board until I saw how extreme the ramp-up is at the end. You know I can still walk around a little bit and try to not splat something as soon as I see it when I'm starving to death, right? At the end of the day, there's going to be some sort of item that reduces ZOT TIME and it's going to be a renamed ration.

Einwand posted:The only real downside I see to it is making shoals even harder than it already is, by turning every single merfolk javelin into a penetrating one. At this point in time, given one's ability to see missiles flying at one's self, I'm not sure why there isn't a Dark Souls-style Force spell that just causes every and all things flying at you to immediately pivot in place and fly back towards the caster/thrower/yaktaur. I know Deflect Missiles is more or less gone, but you would have thought they would have put a more proactive version back into place.
