Just keep walking around, the rune will eventually spawn.
>>
>>144041084
If you're completely unaware of new abyss, it now has 5 levels instead of 3 and unique enemies that (normally) only appear in the abyss. Each level you descend is more dangerous, with the abyss monsters appear more and more often along with the usual crew. You can only find the rune on floor 3 or deeper. Doors deeper, doors out and the rune all spawn more often the deeper you go. So if you're in a hurry, just dive down to 5. Note that 5 is a fucking hellhole of literal cancer stars and nexus crabs. New feature lets you kill enemies to spawn doors out or doors deeper.

>>144041386

>>
>>144037369
>no junethack
>>
>>144041386
>Five levels instead of one.* Fug.
Anyway, the new enemies are fucking terrible. You really want stealth and regeneration if you're going into the abyss. Cancer stars afflict you with LOTS of temporary mutations, which can spell death to races that are really minmaxed. Nexus crabs spit chaos clouds that'll afflict you with a lot of awful stuff. Zymes will stop natural regen from being in LoS. There are other less awful stuff that summon and have distortion melee, but these are the ones you want to avoid.

>>144041529
4 is pretty dicey. Crabs start being common and they're extremely dangerous. If you're strong or have a way to mitigate clouds, go for it.

I am by no means an experienced player (only 15 runed once), but the *only* time I have ever splatted in hell (and multiple times) is to Icy Hell Land.

Those Demons can do a shit ton of damage, and the boss is scary. He doesn't do a terrible amount of damage, but he has a lot of HP so the fight can go a bit long (so more Torment/Ice Demons to contend with).

Anteaus is probably the spookiest in a straight up fist fight, but he is also the absolute easiest to cheese. He doesn't resist poison. You can shoot him with a blow gun and curare, use a spider bag to fuck him up and so on. Hell, Parrow, Pcloud and ignite poison in conjunction can probably wreck him super fast too. I'm always scared of Dispater. That guy doesn't mess around.

Looking for equipment thoughts for my balrog warrior: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=19120

My current setup might be right, but I'm not so sure. It doesn't get Telepathy, nor does it get to wield my shiny new Slayer from the old castle quest reward. I spent about an hour playing around with configurations and want some outside eyes to take a look.

If I optimize for damage I can get quite a lot, but obviously that isn't on it's own correct either. This current setup gets to wear Terror Mask and The Hell Harness for tons of acc/dam but the latter also aggravates and the former might be incorrectly getting in the way of Amber or Indra.

I don't have that many amazing boot or amulet choices. My best cloak is probably that cloak of the nazgul, but I'd really like to not wear the -6% life if I can help it. I'd also prefer not to wield a shield, but I'm also leery of sleepily walking into a fenghuang (doubly so with no telepathy) so...

yeah I thought about that specifically. I'm definitely not using _Telepathy unless it's a "will throw away this staff for loot" type of slot, it's just kindof a pain and not critical, as you still need to be able to handle monsters that don't always appear to telepathy. It's nice, but ultimately just a luxury at this late stage (it's better earlier IMO).

The +15 +15 slaying is just so nice. Also when I first equipped it I needed it for rDark to try and not wield Celegorm. Maybe.

With lawful evil he doesn't mean that its inhabited by devils with golden hearts or something, but that the Hells are governed by strict rules that neither you or them can break, like having always 7 levels, spawning attacks over you for tresspassing the place, having an organized last floor being watched by a Hell Lord, etc.
It's not like Pan or Abyss, where you have to wander like a retard until you find the runes.

You also need to learn when to engage and when to retreat.

>do you see only one target in a non-open space?

If yes, engage. If not, engage from afar with poison darts/evocables, or retreat if you think there might be more than one monster.

Never, NEVER EVER is a good idea to pull the attention of an orc band, especially if you're under level 8. Gnoll packs are also a problem, but you can usually kill them all with Spider Form. But if an orc priest detects you, nigga, you better prepare to read tele or to slouch the motherfucker down as a last resort.

>>144049861
Demonspawn are weak to silver.

>>144051035
In DCrawl, Pandemonium, besides Xom, is the main source of Chaos branded weapons, actually. Pandemonium is Chaotic.

Dungeon Crawl Hell is definitely Chaotic. It is a place where random hostile forces assail you continuously, including chaotic spells. Hell denizens are also coded as following Makhleb, though it is largely irrelevant.

Nothing wrong with three underworlds that are mostly chaotic and evil.

>>144052926
TSO is good, and neither lawful nor chaotic.

>>144053363
Not yet, nor is there likely for any to be. The good gods are defined in part by being all okay with each other, so there won't be a good chaotic god.

Due to the source material on alignments (the works of Moorcock and Poul Anderson, in which Law has an overwhelming tendency towards "good" and Chaos has an overwhelming tendency towards "bad") I think its appropriate.

>>144053941
The Crawl gods, however, have been literally assigned alignments, so...

Also, TSO doesn't want you to commit cannibalism (defined as eating members of the same species) and Zin doesn't want you to commit cannibalism (defined as eating fellow intelligent beings).

>>
>>144057680
My bad. Where are they assigned D&D alignments?
>>
>>144057526

The game.

Lawful & Good: Zin.
Good, neither Lawful nor Chaotic: Elyvilon, TSO,
Chaotic: Xom, Jivya
Chaotic & Evil: Makhleb, Lugonu
Evil, not Chaotic: Beogh, Kikubaaqudgha, Yredelemnul
None: Gozag, Fedhas, Nemelex, Okawaru, Pakellas, Qazlal, Ru, Sif Muna, Trog

Besides simply reading the files, the wiki, or the descriptions in the game, Zin punishes you if you leave him and later join a Chaotic or Evil god, the other Good gods only punish you if you join an Evil god.

In D&D terms, missing an axis means you're Neutral, therefore indisputably:

Lawful Good: Zin.
Neutral Good: Elyvilon, TSO,
Chaotic Neutral: Xom, Jivya
Chaotic Evil: Makhleb, Lugonu
Neutral Evil: Beogh, Kikubaaqudgha, Yredelemnul
Neutral: Gozag, Fedhas, Nemelex, Okawaru, Pakellas, Qazlal, Ru, Sif Muna, Trog

No, its not symmetrical, nor is there any need for them to be symmetrical whatsoever, other than to fit onto a meme image.

Huh. I guess I never mentally made the connection between "Good, Evil, Chaotic" and the shitty D&D alignments. I still think they should find a way to differentiate pan and hell for gameplay reasons, though. Its not like the lore was ever important to them.

99 turn abyssal rune, that's a new personal record.
>>
>>144058486
>I still think they should find a way to differentiate pan and hell for gameplay reasons, though.

How are Pan and Hell not differentiated enough? Elemental branches, a race against time with no need to stop for treasure, and a "normal" monster that can 1v1 Pan Lords (Hell Sentinels), vs a very cool and distinctive enemies (demonspawn and pan lords) and five different non RNG levels that you never know when you're going to run into.

Hell could use its own unique brand. Damnation, perhaps.
>>
Abyss - distortion
Pandemonium - chaos
Hell - ???
>>
>>144058942
Truthfully, they've been doing a better job of differentiating lately. But both are largely populated by demons, have some major overlap in their elemental departments, and the most dangerous enemies use the same mechanics (torment and hellfire). Almost every enemy is looked at from the point of view of "Does it hellfire or torment me? Oh it doesn't do either? What sort of cancer does it afflict me with? Oh, no cancer? Evoke feet and ignore." (note that is also just a huge problem with postend overall. Many enemies feel very similar and they really are trying to fix that.) You basically use the same exact tactics for hell that you do in pan, barring killholes on the 7th floors. Same exact ways to kill the hell lords, except Aunty because he doesn't have demon resists. Really, they could just overhaul demons completely and make them more diverse in their threat set.

If I'm playing a MiHu, what god do I want to go with?

Wide variety. The most obvious would be one that gifts ammo, liek Trog or Okawaru.

Oka, Trog, the usual.

>>144061132
>>144061146
Alright. I was specifically avoiding Trog because otherwise I would have just went MiBe, so I guess I'll go with Oka.
>>
>>144061254
MiHu is probably better than MiBe, more dex, gets benefit from the ammo cooldown as well, and can pinch hit as melee.

>>
>>144064082
The most glaring example I can recall is when some anon kept talking about how the game was getting easier over time because he could get to lair with some regularity when he was never able to before. Instead of putting two and two together and realizing that MAYBE he wasn't as shit as he used to be, he decided that it was the GAME'S fault for being so easy. This ended with my making a huge post, going through each branch specifically pointing out how it was harder and how old crawl really held your hand with all the stupid stuff you could do to mitigate all difficulty.

Every time I criticize this game, a everyone talks shit at me forever, but I just want to see if I'm crazy or not.

Two main issues with the game
-Early game is too easy to get mauled by RNG if you play a spellcaster
-Late game too focused on 2 mechanics (Torment and Holy Wrath) causing very little variation in the "optimal strategy"

And in the last several updates nothing has been done to even start to fix either of these, so I assume that I'm just wrong, but can someone explain why I'm wrong?
>>
>>144066209
Most starting backgrounds are pretty equal.
Be, As, and Gl are all quite strong for hitdudes.
IE, Su, VM, and Cj are all very easy for castdudes.
If you are having trouble with casters it's your issue, not an issue with the game.

And only 2 or 3 characters can make it out of the instadeath situations like halberd gnoll/elec goblin blocking the D1 exit, Ijyb zapping you on his first turn with /Acid or whatever, and sigmund spawning with a haste pot and quaffing it and confusing you before you've had a chance to ID. These things happen to every character.

In the post game:
It's four mechanics, but it's still horse shit.
Hellfire and resistance-piercing conjurations are the other two.
>>
>>144066209
Early game (up to pre-Lair and early Lair) is the hardest part of the game, and definitely the most RNG dependent, for any combo. Most magic classes in my experience are the most reliable classes for making it to Lair, aside from Berserker starts. This is because you have ranged attacks. An encounter going badly early on generally means the enemy is still alive and you're out of MP, but he's still a square or two away from you, allowing you to escape. An encounter going bad for a melee dude means you're about to die in the next turn or two if you don't run, and energy randomization allows you to die even if you do run. So spellcasters can choose to walk away and reset an encounter by going through a staircase and coming out of another one without much danger to themselves, when compared to a melee dude. Just explore carefully to prevent getting surrounded or cutoff from stairs.

Torment and holy wrath are only a thing in extended, which has always been a slog. You don't need to worry much about these things for 3-runes. And there is still some variation even with torment in the mix. You don't *need* TSO/necromut/statue to deal with torment, although it does help a lot. You just need to be able to deal with torment-dealing enemies quickly
>>
>>144066659
Well if you pick an elementalist of some sort and you run into 3 jackals on turn 10 before you can even pick up a club, and your first 3 casts go miscast/miss/hit-but-no-kill, theres not much chance of running away long enough to survive. Its very easy to restart such a quick game, so I don't really care, but that doesn't seem like player error.

What's your HP at? Are you capped for CON with equips?
>>
>>144066209
Every character except for a minor few suffers from RNG in the early game. I find that especially weak melee dudes have a harder time than spellcasters, although not by much.

Late game is indeed too focused on the same mechanics (inflict aids, summon greater dude, damnfire and torment) but the "optimal" strategy is actually very open ended. You can easily just swap to TSO and do whatever and be a scrub, but it isn't much harder to get 20 evo/wand of digging/source of haste and cheese that shit with whatever viable endgame god you want. 3xbow/max stealth/bob is just as viable as holy exec/TSO and shatter/nado/nohp. Postend "requirements' are actually super fluid, and the only real stuff I'd want on every 15 rune capable dude is haste + dig/disint wand and recharges + either regen the spell or 2 sources of innate regen + good amount of tele scrolls OR tele wand.
>>
>>144067036
Does the community not care about the imbalance of the first 50-100 turns of the game simply because its so easy to reset?
>>
>>144067217
no but I need to get some more potions now that I newlifed. HP is sitting at 1074 while still wearing this -6% hp cloak of the nazgul and not using stone of life. Once I get some potions I should be capped out. It's a very nice spread.
>>
>>144067128
Holy fuck.
>>
>>144067679
Early game is rife with that kind of stuff, and there really isn't much you can do. Its mostly relegated to EARLY D:1 (aka this goblin has a dagger of venom and I have 11 HP), and D:2-6 (centaurs, uniques, adders and so on) as you juggle having no items/no gods/no aux slots with extremely strong enemies. Most casters actually have an easier time with the 2-6 space since they basically leave D:1 with either a solid level 2 or 3 spells, as well as zealots/gladiators/fighters who have their own ways to deal with things. There really isn't much they can do to change the early game to be more fair without making it a breeze.

Fair enough.

It would be called Comfy and it would last twice as long if you are a Wanderer because why not

I really can't decide what I want to get.
I'm playing a paladin so I was thinking between Weapon Versatility or Ambidexterity but I might just end up wearing a shield anyway.
Also Evasion, Speed Reader, Potion Chugger and Fleet of Foot are good too.
I wonder how much Fell Sorcery actually affects the spells and what it does precisely?
>>
>>144070245
Paladins can master all the sword base types.
Fell Sorcery is pretty shit. It's like an 8% spellpower boost or something like that. Usually this translates to ~8% damage boost, but some spells it's more like 12%.
Evasion is amazing.
Cult of Personality is outstanding and Demonic Grasp is great for melee characters.
I'd get Evasion myself.
If your realm has healing spells you might want to get the heal boost.

Oh yeah, I'm Life so I'll probably take that.
How big is the bonus to the Heal spell which heals for 300?
I'm taking Demonic Grasp at 40 of course, it's too good to pass for a melee character.

I don't know but it's probably really small, on second though probably just get evasion so you don't have to heal as often since you take less damage.

Naga, there is so much shit that blocks shining eyes' LoS in slime that you should have enough time to zap them with a wand or something. If you want to be a true scrub, read torment -> immolation -> kill a dude. It should start a chain reaction that kills TRJ and most of the jellies.

>>144076414
Funnily enough, you should have atleast 2 or 3 cmuts by the time you get to slime. If you get hit with more than 2 muts in slime, you REALLY screwed up and don't know how to manage your LoS or got really unlucky. You'll only need to quaff 3 or so during a full extended run if you really manage it well, which is basically what you should get out of the dungeon. Let alone what you find in pan.

Looking back at my last 3 3rune wins, they each had 3~ cmuts either quaffed or in the inventory by D:1, skewed more towards 4. Its definitely a consideration when you're going to pan, but you should easily have enough to do slime and abyss.

I'm tabbing through uniques like they're fucking butter and I've got double the weapon, armor, and evasion skills than I usually do at this point.

What are you doing with your skills?
Why did you choose polearms to begin with?
Are you identifying your scrolls and potions?
Are you running from things that look even slightly dangerous?
Are you using the tools your god gives you?

speed is pretty much the best brand possible (other than holy against holy-vulnerable monsters)

keep the glaive for a while, especially since it's lower xp investment too

What would you say is better, a bardiche, or a demon trident and a large shield?
I know this general has been raving on about shields lately because of that one MuMo win, but I've seen a lot of posts praising two-handed weapons that aren't axes in the past.
>>
>>144101452
large shield a shit, it takes 25 skill to remove penalties

Dtrident and medium shield is good though, and takes much less xp than bardiche.

If you're not a merfolk, training polearms to 26 is probably too expensive to be worth it.

In hindsight, I'm really not sure if I had any effective encounters to the fotia. I had a modified aspis with bloodthirst and pounce but it was taking damage pretty damn quickly so even that wouldn't have done much, and losing such a demon would have hurt if I survived anyway. Asrai would be almost useless against them, and most of my party was weak to fire.

It was my first time, anyway; an ukobach was my only fire-resistant demon. Oh well. I went to Anomaly before clearing Tower:6 (all that left was a group of haietlik and gandayah, and I probably had effective counters by the time I departed). I've yet to see anything beyond the sixth floor but this run was still good enough to make it into the top 100 scores. I find the difficulty of the game really wild so far: most encounters are a breeze until the sixth floor and ones that aren't end your game pretty damn hard and/or quick.

That's the entirety of PCB's midgame, there's a reason the pastebin tells you not to pick a race with a large exp penalty.

It's a meme combo, but it's one of the strongest monks early game.

Later on the confusion vulnerability is pretty bad and their huge damage falls off compared to a normal race with a million blows and some +slaying. They do make good use of monk retaliation, though.

I actually had the Silmarillion open so I'll correct you in that. The Ainur intrinsically possessed a gender from the moment they were created, and that is reflected in their visible forms

Also the reason why I play nothing but human and imp now after playing PCB for so long since they level so quickly. The midgame/early end is so fucking bad in PCB they need to fix that shit, but no, instead of fixing it the retard removes 555 cheese. So many interesting races completely fucking ruined because of the retarded penalty. 4.0.2 was a mistake.
>>
>>144122921
Honestly it isn't even about exp, it's that killing uniques and such in dungeons is too dangerous when your melee and spells do like 60 damage max.

Perhaps priest was a mistake.

Alright. I am starting to think negotiating with zars is a good strategy for dealing with them unless if you want to nab one of their abilities and then use them as cannon fodder (they have rather little staying power, not much more than raicho even though they don't have as many weaknesses). Moving close to one of them usually leads to swift death by its former allies (or allies if you fail the negotation anyway) unless if you got a really bulky melee character (although panic is one bloody Hell of a status effect).
>>
>>144123687
>is a good strategy
Derp. It's not a very good strategy. Given the game's current design, though, you can easily escape them if the zar you successfully recruited was the only one you saw.

It's usually only worth training staves if you're a caster or find the Lajatang of Order, so yes

You can't resist hellfire anon. Resistance is good for his other attacks, but he has 3d20 hellfire that'll do 3d20 no matter what. Chances are 100 HP is enough, but he can basically 2hko most characters when they first see him.

The most the hellfire will do from him is 60 so I can see him easily 2hko'ing a caster but Azrael is fairly deep in the dungeon so a fighter would probably have enough HP to get close and bash his face in while taking a few shots (though they might be unlucky and get hit with high damage if the rng wills it) and in my experience he only ever pelts you with that annoying shit when you're at range so just sit behind a wall until he walks up to you and then pulp him instead of going rambo.
>>
>>144157824
High HP races will definitely have 120~ when they first seem him, but he always has a chance to completely fuck you like that poor octopode. He is usually a gatekeeper of sorts and when you see him, its usually time to do lair instead of tarrying in the dungeon. 60 is a lot of damage and a lot of low HP races won't actually be able to get 120 HP if they see him at his earliest depths. Cornering him like that is the best solution though.

They should add invisible enemies to DDA, like star vampires or something. You can see/sense them only with IR goggles or with mutations like elf eyes or antennae. I think this really adds another layer of Lovecraft horror to the overall theme. Also add elder things and even more monsters and the ability to travel to the nether world. They should also add that town building thing the other anon suggested.

That seems like a really bad idea. CDDA doesn't really have sanity checks on monster strength in the early game. Running into things like chicken walkers and hulks and jabberwocks on the first day isn't terribly unusual, but the player at least has a reasonable chance to try to avoid them. Throwing an invisible enemy into the mix would just add another chore to the early game: craft IR goggles in the first few days, because every hour you don't have them increases the chance of an arbitrary death. Didn't want to make an electronics themed character? Tough shit, because seeing invisible monsters is now a hard barrier to the mid game.
If that were ever implemented it would probably come packaged with a mod to disable them, which literally everyone would use who wasn't planning to make a character that could quickly ignore any added threat created by the monsters' invisibility.

There's already a sort-of-invisible zombie (but it's not at all threatening). Really I doubt an invisible melee monster would be all that difficult in dda since you can just run to a doorway for a chokepoint.

Could even go the DCSS way and let smoke reveal them so maybe someone would use a smoke grenade ever.

How were they good changes? People play PCB precisely because it's one hell of a skinner's box mess, not because of it's clear design. A run can take literal days to completion, which is a very significant time investment even if you're a NEET with nothing else to do, let alone if you actually have a life. People had found a way to bypass most of the soulless grinding that is widely agreed to be the worst part of the game in a way that was pretty much perfectly in the spirit of the design, so why is it good that it was removed?

I am of the mind that unintended exploits should be fixed unless they actively add to the gameplay.

The exploits just replaced one type of grinding with another, they didn't add anything except making it faster.
>>
>>144167586
But making it faster is good. That's all that could be asked of Chris to make PCB far more enjoyable, actually. Stop trying to even pretend the game's balanced and tone down XP penalties so that endgame isn't pure suffering
>>
>>144167891
Definitely agree with you there, lowering XP curve and class/race penalties could use a lot of love.
>>
What's even the point of exp penalties in an open world infinite enemy game like PCB anyway? it just means you have to grind for longer in real time, it doesn't actually add challenge like it does in a limited enemy environment like DCSS

Yeah, experience penalties are so retarded. The entire concept is shit because the stronger the race, the higher the penalty, so it always comes out to be grind until the end of time on dragons until you're level 40+ where you can finally shine (not fun), then proceed to fucking obliterate everything in your path without challenge (also not fun). The best example of this is with angels. They get a humongous penalty of 325% to their exp but once you level them up to their potential they're the strongest race in the entire game and can kill anything.

Because he can spam airstrike early game and can easily kill soft characters.
>>
>>144170832

>>
>>144170832
Air strike hits for something awful like 40 damage. He has a high power slow and is also pretty beefy for a mage dude. If you can get close without getting airstriked, you can DPS him down.
>>
>>144170952
>>144171008

>>144170806
>>144170848
>>144170943
Cata. You start off with Torsion Ratchet, plating on all parts, lenses and fingertip razors.

At the cost of every single failed bionic.

It's not game ending but after a certain amount of time it gets very annoying. The biggest problems are;
>Acidic Discharge
Causes 1 damage to all of body. Drops health and will wake you up.
>Noisemaker
Creates a 1-turn 60 noise sound that wakes you and grabs attention of everything.
>Itchy Metal Thing
Itches, which interrupts sleeping and all tasks.
>Leaky Bionic
Kills health stat, which affects health regen by sleep. My health stat is currently -120. -100 = 0 health recovery. With acidic discharge, this means having to constantly top up.

Removing bionics is much more dangerous and less successful than installing.

>Are they game-ending fucked up bionics or just annoyances?
They're a massive pain in the ass, not only to remove but also to deal with. Noisemaker and motor control overstimulater can easily get a character killed if they kick in during a dangerous fight. Leaky bionic is also really annoying. Also, removing bionics is stupidly dangerous in DDA because if you fail you deal a TON of damage to every part in your body and creates a bunch of pain. The fail rate is also really high if you have low/medium medical skill and intelligence.

There's also an enemy called broken cyborg and it's the cheesiest way to raise your blunt weapons skill. Since they only deal a pathetic 2d2 damage you can tank every hit and equip a tin can, now the cyborg has a lot of armor against blunt weapons and the tin can does a garbage amount of damage you can safely beat on the thing until you train blunt weapons to your desired level. I also nearly forgot to mention that the cyborg will barely be hitting you because you'll be dodging or having your armor soak up the attacks for you. They also can say some really weird and fucked up things too instead of attacking.

In spite of my low armor value (4+ troll leather armor and little else) and low EV, somehow very few encounters gave me much damage recently.

Lair has been a breeze so far; no hydras have been seen but I'm sure it'd make me use Oka's abilities for once to be safe (ghoul claws are amazing).

Yeah that's the thing. If DCSS was set in africa, it wouldn't have komodo dragons.
But at the same time, if DCSS was set in komodo, it wouldn't have anything else but komodo dragons.

Maybe we should make it its own branch.

I can't believe how overboard you are going with this when there is a much more pressing problem.

Tormentors only exist in the Halls of Ykulzgu-ono, but they appear all over the Hells and Pan and respond to summons (something a Tormentor would never do).

>>144194851
Go back up and take the third stair?
>>
>>144194851
If you're playing .18 or trunk, then just go back upstairs, because they made it so that your character will identify the corresponding downstaircase on D12 that leads to the other upstaircase you're standing next to.

If you're playing before .18, then step to the 2nd up stair case and take those up, so that you know which one it is so you don't accidentally take it on your 2nd crack at D13.
>>
>>144195041
The other upstair does not have an asterisk on it, so it's safe to say he's either on 0.18 or trunk.

Are these worth keeping for some reason?
>>
>>144199874
Useful for characters that rely mostly on devices or spells, not so much for characters that hit things with large wooden/metal objects.
>>
>>144199874
It makes you a great golfer, pretty useful.
>>
>>144199874
Also, you have to remember that PCB is not DCSS, in that characters are not really expected to hybridize. Mages will never be remotely as good at hitting things with weapons as warriors. Warriors cannot even cast spells and can barely use devices. Not every item/ego will be useful for every character.

Of course there are classes designed to be hybrids, but classes in PCB are way more than a couple of pieces of starting equipment and slightly different early skill distribution.
>>
>cant be a tonberry mauler
Why ???
>>
>>144200127
Way too much fukken synergy, same reason you can't be a duelist. They both trade blows for power, like tonberries in general, but if you're basically capped at one blow to start with all you get is just more power.
>>
>>144200127
No special-casing.
Tonberry lose blows based on XL. At XL50 you would have -1 blows.
Also Tonberry is best on classes that can get a bunch of extra attacks.
>>
>>144200275
You can be a Tonberry duelist. You just get neither the slaying bonus nor the loss of blows.

And there is no synergy.

That's when rune knights come into play!
Too bad that 4.0.2 killed PCB
>>
>>144201114
Rune knights are a hybrid class that's listed under melee for some reason, and hardly anyone would care about them were it not for the associated exploits I bet. Fuck off, or better yet just edit the fucking XP table already and stop bitching so damn much.

>>144200895
There actually still is special casing in the Tonberry racial definitions but there must have been some other special casing added that locked out the class altogether at some point.

Please. There was some initial interest after someone showed off the high level runes and abilities, but it only really took off after someone else figured out the selling exploits, then the additional synergy with androids.

The runes aren't just good for selling, too. They're extremely good because you can slap destruction of a pair of slaying gauntlets and get +20 +20 slaying. I remember I used that on the gloves of the master tonberry, too.

They're just broken beyond belief even with the -no selling- option.

But hey. Chris removed that too.

Can pcb ninjas dual wield? Im starting a snotling ninja
>>
>>144201587

He's a great god for anyone who doesn't mind constant Loudness. For example, a Fo wielding an executioner's axe and great shield with 50+ AR. Fastest run I ever did was a FoFi of Qez.

Can be great in Zig with the right precautions.
>>
>>144202045
Ninjas basically have to dual wield. They can't use shields, and I don't think there are any weapons meant to be 2-handed that they can properly skill for.
>>
The only thing about the rune of luck is that it doesn't give you the intrinsic good skills you'd get at the start of the game, those are personality-based. And Lucky personality is good exactly for that.

But again, if you play a sexy android you can just pick the sexy personality for the stat ups and skillups, then get to level 40 and create the rune of luck to be even better than a lucky personality guy at everything but stealth, because sexy aggravates.

BUT if you play on nightmare mode (but why would you do that is beyond me) everything is aggravated by default so there's no drawbacks!
