I've been wearing an amuled of inaccuracy since D:3, not a single remove curse since then. Relying on Magic Dart to hit anything at all is getting old. That staff of power is the only reason I'm not constantly starving whenever I find something with AC and have to spam Iskenderun's in the hope one of them hits

I also never could stop to pray at an altar so I may as well make this a godless game

Yeah, the Ashes of Urh'Rok one, not Embers of Rage. Those demon statues... I won't say using them at low levels is a "bad idea" because the only really low-level place where they spawn is the demonic starting zone, but treat it like NetHack fountain-quaffing or something - if you do it, pray for a good result but prepare for a reroll. (Midgame or higher, feel free to use them whenever, as far as I know it can't summon forge-giants or Champions of Urh'Rok)
>>
>>147843145
I'm reasonably sure I got a forge giant once. Looking at the code, the only restriction is that it won't summon uniques.

>>147847808
rPois is a must for Spider
Fly is very helpful in Shoals
Invis is extremely useful both in Spider and Shoals

Spider also tends to be much easier than Shoals.
You can't go Vaults until you have one rune.
You don't enter Slime until your character has AT LEAST gone though Vaults and Depths, and even then I feel like that's a bare minimum.
You shouldn't go Depths yet.
You shouldn't do Elf until you have decent MR. You can maybe manage the first floor only at this point, but nothing further than that.
>>
>>147847808
Do a Lair Branch. Probably Spider. Then do depths.
>>
>>147848039
The option of starting a new game after winning is purely for keeping track of win streaks/score.

Statue form melds armor so he was technically going without
>>
>>147855045
yeah, I was wearing robes. If I wore heavy armour, I'd have to invest into armour skill and even more into transmutations/earth in order to cast statue form in chain/plate. Then that missing XP would really hurt, because casting a super good statue form isn't much better than casting a mediocre statue form, and you don't have body armour in statue form. So that's more than a whole lair branch of XP gone to just getting Jiyva to work how I want her to, when I need that XP for dodging/UC.
>>
>>147854796
>>147855045
Yeah the type of armour you're wearing and if you have high level spells has a really large effect on it. It's pretty stupid since transmuters only really use body armour if they are using blade hands and lots of races cast spells with no particular concern for spell hunger or power.
My one Jivya game was a TeCj, I ended up with 9/37/8 base stats and I was wearing a scale mail.
If I was wearing a robe, I bet I would have gone down to 1/40/15 or something.

Welp, just did a dcss wizmode run and christ almighty the end-game is harder than I predicted. Are Hell and the Tomb supposed to feel harder than Pandemonium?
>>
>>147855991
Hell and Tomb are harder than Pan generally, yes.
Tomb can be cheesed pretty easily, but Hell ends are generally pretty tough. Especially Dis.

By that point though your character is usually so strong that it's whatever.
>>
>>147856153
I don't know. Tartarus felt hardest but Dis wasn't any cake walk, the evil force felt most active there. It just never let up.
>>
>>147855991
The hells and tomb throw torment/hellfire at you like it was candy, so unless you're undead or have torment immunity they always feel like crap
Pan, being more random, allows for more enemy variation. Once in a while you get the tormentor floors and you want to kill yourself, but otherwise it's easier

Tomb > Hell > Pan > Slime > Zot > Abyss > 3runes

I'm not sure about this one. Hell is a consistent oppression that you never escape. Tomb is big ambushes with decent sized breaks to rest in between I felt.
>>147856587
I figured that out about halfway through my second branch, Gehenna. I searched all up and down tartarus for loot and got nothing but pain for it. I just figured by that point there was no loot except for the vaults behind the lords and started rushing staircases.

Horses are good til level 15-20 or so, at that point you've got trench wurms, radiant kavus, hippogriffs, griffons, and maybe a couple others available. Radiant kavus are nice because they have rBase and heal themselves.

I wizmoded 50 to all stats and max levels, not much else. Its not like that suddenly makes it impossible to gauge.

I like some of the mutation reworks in DCSS. Now I"m really excited to get spit poison 3, because poison clouds are really damned strong, whereas 'spitting strong poison' that could easily miss was a dumb way to spend a turn in a difficult fight.

purple dragon breath often misses. If you draw a little tree diagram of possibilies, it just doesn't add up to be very good. This is obviously a qualitative argument to a degree, because finding the actual probabilities of each branch would be difficult, but in my experience the breath just misses half the time, and when it does hit, half of that half the time they just recast the buff.
>>
>>147868102
Yeah, cause if you're not focusing on improving your technique of swinging your big heavy object around but more on where your enemies are attacking or where the weak spots in your armor are, you won't improve your technique with your big heavy object.

It's the message for resisting fear.

So if you resist fear or die from a scary hit and have virtues turned off, yes.
>>
>>147869671
Beause you breathe at 10 auts/breath, but your weapon attacks at .7 or less auts/attack. So if they just recast the buff, then you both used a turn, and you did less damage per aut than you would have with your weapon.

Green draconians' breath lets you take out orc warriors/priests/wizards in the early game, and lets you incapacitate the majority of enemies in late game with surprising reliability.

>>147871950
It also loses a good deal of effectiveness late game where everything has rPois and most stop using poison themselves. Then again, getting past the early game with draconians is probably the most important part.

>Well, in the mythos, cthulhu is pretty weak. Iirc the only thing that he does is just kill everybody, with his hands/tentacles

>Then, whispered Castro, those first men formed the cult around small idols which the Great Ones shewed them; idols brought in dim aeras from dark stars. That cult would never die till the stars came right again, and the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom. Meanwhile the cult, by appropriate rites, must keep alive the memory of those ancient ways and shadow forth the prophecy of their return.

Cthulhu turning over in bed is enough to send out psychic shockwaves that wrack the artistic and unstable people of the world with hideous nightmares and visions. If he were to truly awaken, the majority of mankind would be only mildly directly affected, but enough would be driven mad to destabilize the very foundations of civilization.

Not to mention all of the Deep Ones and other aquatic creatures that would likely rise up alongside Cthulhu.

Because said spell is stupidly expensive to cast, they don't have very much in the way of offense (some anti-undead spells but that's about it), and the second best spell in the school is subject to dispel magic which is everywhere lategame.
>>
>>147883835
No, anon. It's not that it's bad.
It's just that on a hybrid (the only classes which really want to pick non-offense schools like Life/Nature), you should take Nature over Life.
Why Nature?
>Herbal Healing heals 500 and is much, much easier to cast than Healing True.
A level 50 monk will have a >10% and probably >20% fail rate on Healing True, while Herbal Healing will have a <10% fail rate.
Healing heals only 300 HP and while it is easier to cast, !Healing is incredibly common.
>Nature does not need the 4th book
Nature's Wrath is shit, its spells deal no damage and are mostly resisted.
Life's best spells are in Blessings of the Grail.
>Dispel Magic > Ultimate resistance
The capstone life spell is not incredibly good when it has >20% fail and disappears in a single turn from many strong monsters

Nature's utility spells also come earlier and it has forest creation, which is just incredible.

>>147883474
They seemed like the weakest one on paper to me (breathe time versus better melee and hp or literally resists everything), but I'm not sure anyone has played one so maybe you'll find out they're secretly OP.

also it's one of 8 spells in your final book and memorizing any of them requires destroying the book. so if you want to shoot antimagic rays or learn rage strike you have to grind until you find a second and third copy of your tier-4 spellbook

luckily two of the spells in it are really shit (identify and earthquake in a 4th spellbook... just use staves?) so you only really need 6 copies to get everything good in it

>MuIE^Kiku
I'm probably being dumb right now but I don't see the point of kiku for Mu unless you're going for extended. He already has all the crap she proivdes except for bodies at the start of a level but with enough prep, something that mummies should always have, that doesn't even matter.
I suppose torment on command early and bodies on command late are useful but are they really so good that its not worth taking, say, sif or gozag?

>>
>>147889050
>unless you're going for extended
No idea where you got this from. Kiku's primary benefit during extended is torment protection, which Mu don't need at all.
On-demand torment, necro book gifting, and corpse delivery are all good reasons to pick Kiku.
Gozag would also be good if you didn't want to necro.

Qazlal is very strong used properly, I don't know why so many people rate the god as terrible or even worse than atheist. An amazing screenwide nuke, a significant constant defense boost, permanent repel missiles, a smite targeted invocation, damage clouds that can deal significant damage to a lot of enemies (Nessos killed himself in my clouds before I could hit him once).

Disaster Area is even more amazing when you can control line of sight to mostly just your enemies. In a narrow room on the orb run I was able to one shot a pair of random panlords.

Oh, but it's LOUD you say. It's like casting fireball constantly! Because no one ever casts fireball out of noise concerns, right? No one ever berserks because it's so loud.

Praise Loudjesus.
>>
>>147890103
Well if you're going Ne, corpse drops are nice when everything disappears when you kill it. But yeah, that's what I don't understand. Everything that Kiku provides comes very quickly and a mummy already has except for corpses so it seems strange to ever pick kiku for a Mu, at least to end with it and especially as an IE.
Kiku seems like a "hit it and quit it" type god then immediately move onto someone who will give you more shit in long term for the undead races. For the living, torment protection does seem useful for sure but I don't know why he would pick her as Mu.

Refresh is best used by demons that don't need a lot of SP. Healers essentially get infinite use out of SP, so yeah, refresh is no good on them.

But let's take an example.
It takes you at the very least one day to make a full tile.
There are 900+ different monsters, plus 600+ uniques.
That's around 1500 monsters.
If you work on a single tile, each day of your breathing life excluding sundays, it will take you at least five years to simply finish all the tiles.
And five years from now nobody will even know what poschengband is.

That's simple math though.
I already told him I don't oppose him trying to start for fun. I'm just trying to explain him why it'll never actually happen.
And to do something for the pure purpose of enjoying oneself is healthy, but if it's related to a graphical interface for a videogame, all his effort will of course not be wasted because he learned something from it (mainly how to draw good tiles) but he will never actually be able to use those tiles.

I'd actually suggest him to make some times, show them to the DCSS devs or Demon dev and ask what they think about them.
He could actually do something that matters.

Definitely copy over needle shot and delete at least sure shot. Needle shot is medium sp with standard accuracy. Sure shot will destroy Artemis's sp and she doesn't usually have accuracy problems, just sp problems. Arc shot is ok with her acc boost skill and it's smite targeted so it does have some use. Be sure to spread tireless to her and a secondary healer if you can spare the cash. Keep in mind that the angel has refresh too so you could delete it for dedicated heals, or keep it so he can support Artemis's sp. Also, try to stack a lot of passive status application abilities on Artemis. Basically make her the dirty needle build in the pasta, look at the guide for demons to recruit with those passives

Fusions aren't usually worth doing, especially with limited slots to store a spare demon. Be on the look out for already modified demons to save cash.

Not that I know of. Put lots of points into Dungeoneering, Hunting, and Tanning.

Dungeoneering increases item-drops from enemies you kill, Hunting increases body-drops from enemies you kill, and Tanning increases the quality of the leather armor you can make from skins in the starting town. Given that this leather armor will eventually have the highest resists in the game, this is a good thing.

You mean aside from every character taking up the exact same amount of space? Which is the only thing which applies here. Obviously he'll have to figure something out for ATTR_MULTI, ATTR_CLEAR etc. monsters, but the sizing idea is consistent between ascii and tiles.

It's not "copying crawl".
It's a reasonable standard which maintains clarity and at-a-glance understanding.
Almost every roguelike tileset does it exactly this way for a reason. Off hand, I can't think of any which don't do this.

I played a TrMo of Jiyuva recently and it's enough to be wearing troll hide/any dragon armor while pumping exp into Armor and Shields to avoid getting sucked into the pit on noSTR. Just forget about evasion. Turn it off and forget it exists.
But honestly, Jiyuva seems like a kind of underpowered god.
>is a pain in the ass to join, basically gotta hope her altar spawns in the lair near the entrance to Slime Pits
>slimes steal your loot even before you get to it
>slimes practically don't help you in battle and will prioritize that missed bolt lying on the ground shot by the yaktaur than fighting sad yaktaur that is adjacent you and the slime, so slimify is only useful when it spawns a death ooze/azure jelly between you and the enemy in a narrow space
>slimify, despite being even better than banish in certain situations, still can only target corporeal creatures that are not demons or elementals
>Jiyuva can fucking take away your unnatural muts you got from mutpots/chunks, instead of just providing you with more unique muts
>not only that, but Jiyuva also constantly changes them and takes them away on a whim
>unique muts can even take away a chunk of your precious AC, like pseudopods 1
And that's it. I really feel like in certain cases playing a demonspawn of Xom can provide a more pleasurable mutrun experience, as well as playing AK can provide you with a more pleasurable "1 button OH-KO" experience. Which is a shame, because Jiyuva is by far my favourite god in terms of flavour.

Why are you conflating formatting with visuals? All ASCII have the same "size" yes, as do all tiles, they have to be by default. That doesn't mean , is visibly the same size as D.

>Almost every roguelike tileset does it exactly this way for a reason. Off hand, I can't think of any which don't do this.
TOME and pretty much every steam roguelike, which happen to make up the majority of tiled roguelikes in general, don't.

PCBs intentional interface screws are not really the same as the difference between k and D. ,. Monsters are made specifically to be hard to see because the designers of Z or whatever were assholes.

IIRC Shockbolts ToME tiles are just doubly tall in some cases. I think the monsters still fit the frame though? One Way heroics has everything fit the frame, as does qud. ADoM? Then of course you have Brogue/IA tiles which fit the frame. Cogmind tiles fit the frame. Other Angband tiles fit the frame etc etc
It's not just a "crawl thing." By any stretch of the imagination.

well ARKs eventually get some of the lucky bonuses thanks to a rune, but by default lucky is the best personality background even without taking that into account because its overall skill boni are on par only with sexy.

So in general anyone who doesn't choose lucky must have a damn good reason to do so.

Why would it be? You can still eat meat permafood and can cure rot with potion petition if you have to.

Certainly not a stellar combination but it's no mummy.

Oh yeah, I probably should have maxed tanning now when I think about it.
(The dude dinged 50 yesterday and I couldn't save points at 50 so I ended up trying to see if literacy 100 was enough to learn magic at all)

In a related thing, pugilists apparently hit for 1d2*level when unarmed so he is punching dudes with d100+19 as it is with Jelly/spirit slays inherent.

The documentation for the game is horrible though, I dont really expect being handheld to a large degree but I do think one could have a bit... more in the documentation than the current state

No. You need to have non-zero points in the 5 magic-related skills (Cantrips, Arcane, Divine, Mystic, Primordial) to be able to learn spells. There is no way to gain points in magic skills if you don't start with them. The Magic skill is unnecessary.

Archers, Artisans, Minstrels, Nobles, Pugilists, Rovers, Seafarers, Shepherds, Smiths, Thieves, and Warriors start with nothing.

Adventures, Apothecaries, and Merchants start with Cantrips.

Pilgrims start with Divine.

Oracles start with Cantrips and Mystic.

Witchlings start with Primordial (and an undocumented Cantrips)

Sages start with Cantrips, Mystic, Divine, Arcane, and Primordial.

>The documentation for the game is horrible though, I dont really expect being handheld to a large degree but I do think one could have a bit... more in the documentation than the current state
In the "docs" folder, which should be inside your SotW folder, there is a .pdf which holds a lot of information about the game. Between that and version_info.txt, which should also be in your SotW folder, is all the information about the game that there is.

That seems really annoying, hitting with 1d100. Weapons may not hit that hard (Stonespear, the hardest-hitting single-handed weapon I know of only hits for 4d10+12, and the hardest-hitting two-handed weapon I know of only hits for 4d12+10, IIRC) but they're far more reliable, at least. How do slays work? Bonus damage, instant-death, or what?

>>147955448
Blue whales are larger than humans and have a dick that is 1/3rd the length of their entire body. It's not as thick as a scaled-up human dick would be proportionally, but still.

Most animals that are only slightly larger than humans do trend toward proportionally smaller dicks though.

And that's the thing, I actually have no idea how the slaying works out because there is no documentation on this anywhere and examining items doesn't seem to be a feature as far as I can tell.

With that said - it seems to be some sort of bonus damage but if it is multiplicative or a flat modifier or whatever is unknown.

The damage on the dude feels quite reliable but I dont really have the context of fighting dudes on some other character - spirits & sources of paralysis seems to be the only really dangerous things for this dude otherwise you just punch until ded in glorious 1v1 combat.

call you roll special effects like *freezing cloud on randarts?
>>
>>147973986
No
>>147973685
Conflict is good only in moderation, even for endgame characters. Some mobs are much better to have passive instead of aggressive
>>
>>147973986
I don't think so, the more unique properties are usually unrand only
>>
>>147973685
Unlike the other ones, you use conflict to cause infighting. Its range is way too small to give the effects of Ag or *Noise.
>>
>>147974630
And besides, it only works in LoS, so there's no point unless you're getting in big fights

Anyone know how to change the exp modifiers? I don't want to do anything crazy but I want to play a spellwarp and a 350% is fucking retarded. Do I just go to race_golem.c or birth.c and change the modifier number?
>>
>>147975568
You would modify the appropriate value in race_golem if you only want to affect spellwarps. Alternately, I posted earlier in this thread a link to a mod I've made of PCB where I've dropped XP penalties for all the various races and classes as well as made a few other tweaks. Spellwarps have a 200% penalty instead of 350% in it.

You have picked what is possibly the worst non-joke class to start with. As for your question, not really to any of those with the exception of the pastas we have and the spoiler site an anon has put together.
>>
>>147976462
nope
it has the help files which are quite good and prettified (hit ? to access them), the pasta in the OP, and the source code at github.com/poschengband/poschengband

but at that screen IMO just put like 16 into 3 things and 10 into everything else and let it roll. The autoroller is retarded and shouldn't be in the game. Some facts:
low stats are of course weaker than high stats, but you start with more gold with weak stats (it's still not enough to really compensate, but it' can be nice). If you set your desired stats to be too greedy, the autoroller will decide "fuck you" and not let you get them, even if it actually rolls them.

but mostly hit ? to open the help files, even in character creation
>>
>>147976462
? is help. Possibly you need to make a character to see all the information so if it isn't helpful hit enter until you have a dude and try it then (?bh is about the stat roller)
>>
>>147975235
The one where i killed it only to die to illness while having a unicorn horn? Yeah, that was fun. Pic related came quite a while later tho, i'd knocked out a few more roles by then
So far i'm trying to win a healer, and boy oh boy do they suck balls. Terrible starting stats and bad weapon aptitudes are a pain in the early to midgame, so i just try to navigate the early floors to minetown as a pacifist to get that sweet protection AC. I figured out that gnomes have a three out of five chance to start with enough Pw to cast healing instead of humans's one in eight, plus they get pacific mines for that sweet pet exp. Once i clean D1-4 and M1-3 with my doggo i let it kill guards for some more AC on top of the 7/11 i can get from the priest, depending on how much money i got to steal from eventual shops, which if i'm lucky gets me to about -6/-10. Of course, since i'm still lvl1 death is literally around the corner, and i've lost way too many promising starts to a random rothe or trapped chest
So far my best attempt got to medusa's island after clearing out fort ludios

Well, I'm not really looking for strategies. Just a run down of what is what and what that means in non-fluff terms. Like str is less valuable than wis for this/that. Every point in chr does this/that.

Grinder and Sigmund appear at about the same depth and are about as dangerous, so they should be combined into 1 character too.

That's the one! Last time I visited it was only a theory that they existed.

It makes Chaos Serpent and Oberon a much easier fight.

I suppose not going for that 15-rune game now would be criminal with gear this good.

Never gone for 15 runes on a straight hitdude, only on pure blaster mages. Anything I should consider besides getting the core support spells (R/DMsl, Haste, passwall, C/Blink, etc) online?

The loot game ridic my man
Trog gifted me a +4 antimagic quickblade on D6 which carried me to lair, where I found an artefact rapier of elec just lying around as well as an acquirement scroll that gave me gong. After that I did labyrinth and found that amulet as well as 4 different rods. got the rings from Vault: 5 and the ringmail from a shop at the end of orc.

Later on picked up a vampiric demon blade off of Mara in Swamp and eventually turned that into my Eudemon blade
>>
I'd lose 20 AC (going from 161 to 141) over my current armor while gaining rDisenchant (which I currently have none of), the extra str and con, and another pip of rFear. Plus the heroic speed activation. Worth it? It's also already enchanted as high as I can make it.
>>
>>147980170
Get some actual armor

>>147981080
I would use it, unless your old armor had something good on it.

You do see a lot of female kobolds. It's just that you can't tell them apart.

>>
>>147983643
alligators aren't humanoids

and considering trolls and kobolds are mammals (unless you're some dumb faggot that thinks kobolds are lizards) it's safe to say the females of the species would have some sort of teats
>>
Making a new thread.
>>
>>147983746
Are trolls mammals? I would think they're more reptilian than most but having "leather hides" makes me think mammalian.
>>
>>147983824
Kobolds are fucking reptilian. The only reason they ever became dog people is because of japanese thinking "dog-like snouts" meant they were actual dogs. They are servants of dragons, dwarf lizards that revere their big cousins as gods. And they're still different fucking species that probably won't have the same sexual dimorphism as us even if they reproduce the same way.
>>
>>147983836
Trolls are shitlords anon. Very dangerous creatures. Esp when they wield the lols

>>147984020

they are not reptilian

teats != human breasts either
