Well, at 27 dodging you will get about 2 EV per dex point, but your EV is going to be 31 at 24 dex 27 dodging, is it really worth the investment at such a high level?
In my experience if you get charms and buff yourself with ozocubu's armor, deflect missiles and haste as long as you're not doing dumb things like getting surrounded by highly damaging mobs your only real problem would be cold attacks like simulacras and freezing clouds.

actually that might be right now that your jellies no longer eat undiscovered shit.

How do you gain piety with nu-Jiyva?
>>

Yeah I got kind of distracted by a magma worm and suddenly that happened. Ended up with ridiculous credits from bio data alone though so it's fine.
>>
>>154180001
I dunno mang, I find Jiyva super strong overall. Loads of good mutations, the exclusive ones being OP. Slimify dangerous uniques. No need to train invo.

Also very fast Piety gain, I'd say. Just request some jellies when you're about to finish a floor and they'll gobble up all the crap lying around. I think I was at full piety by D:10 or so.

Play poschengband as a ring

>>154179013
Well normally this would be the part where you'd be in a decent plate and be told to up your ring of regen for a regen cheese run but you don't have that. You only have one surviving ally. you're just kind of dicked mate.

Nope.

They removed non-Jiyva jelly eating, which is probably what you're thinking of.

It means jellies don't eat items anymore unless you worship Jiyva.
If you worship Jiyva, they'll eat any item, the one in your sight, or the one outside your sight.

Zombie hordes changed so instead of just padding cities with zeds and spawning zeds on noise, it now automatically spawns huge groups way off in the distance around you but only like once or twice a week. Bases spawn rate on how much noice you make over the course of days or weeks and how long since last horde. if you play totally silent you may not see one for weeks, if you go guns blazing it still might take a few days for a horde to show up to at least let you have fun using guns, but it'll be a big horde

>>154188248
Donating gold only increases piety gained in the near future and nothing else
How about you avoid the damage in the first place? Or just swap amulets when resting? A regen amulet should heal you in less than 100 turns, and unless you're using gourmand there is no bloody reason not to swap
>>
>>154189582
Yes, same with stabbing sleeping enemies as a vampire
>>
>>154189658
he's probably playing newer versions where you can't swap regen
>>
>>154189658
Regeneration amulets only work when put on at full HP. You'd need a ring or a weapon with Regen+.
>>
>>154189582
gozag's food cost is overrated anyways, if you're a melee character with only low-level spells you can do 15 runes on permafood only

It really is. And yeah, Dryads are shit and should really be reworked or removed. At least you've got a fire immunity charm.

Suggested enchantment candidates:
-Whip of Speed (good for killing enemies before they get too close)
-Wand of Plenty (only after you've found an endgame monster like a Tentacle Horror)
-Ring of Regen (at high levels, will literally let you fully heal in a couple turns and shrug off caustic gas or even fire, but you'll need better armor to pull that off otherwise you'll still get one-hit killed)

Why do most roguelikes look like degenerate games in terms of graphics? You can't be like "a game is not about graphics" when the game is represented in ASCII characters. In 2016, it doesn't even require any kind of effort to implement the slightest of visuals.
Not saying that they're unplayable, but visuals look like someone shat on them purposely.

I'm building a roguelike where it's open world with AI that learns and interacts with the player, environment and other NPCs. it's a bit glitchy though and sometimes children learn abilities they shouldn't have if they spend a lot of time around creatures of different species. See also a warrior's pet turtle learning Heavy Armor and Weapon Specialization: Maces. There are some bugs.

nethack is about planning out your future and thinking about what you're gonna do in the medium to long term

in crawl the longterm plans are just "i will train [useful skill] to a higher level", so the only real thinking is about muh tactics
but combat is way slower than e.g. sil or brogue and you end up pressing tab a billion times each fight

it's sort of like the tome problem where you get bored grinding through nonthreatening chaff and then get oneshot by an elite bone golem with archmage skills or something
except in dcss instead of onsehotting the chaff from a screen away you're pressing tab like 5+ times for each enemy JESUS CHRIST NONE OF THESE NAGAS ARE THREATING ALONE CAN I STOP FIGHTING 5000 OF THEM 2 AT A TIME AND JUST PICK UP THE RUNE ALREADY

If you are worshipping sif/vehu, you'll get shatter and iron shot soon enough so don't worry about it and just keep getting more earth so that you'll be able to cast them.

If you are worshipping chei or you are demigod you can do whatever you want since you have enough INT to cast anything, but keep in mind those spells require lots of investment, I wouldn't suggest to go for them for the moment.

Also as pointed by >>154212667 , you might want to get a bit of trasmutations, since statue form is incredibly strong (gives poison immunity, relec and rN, and also 30 AC without dropping your EV) and fairly easy to find.

Pixel Dungeon is free and both decent-looking and easy to use, but the gameplay is kinda mediocre.

Hoplite is great but you'll see everything the free version has to offer after twenty runs or so.

Cardinal Quest is boring, Ananias is even worse. There is also Dweller and Legends of Yore, but I've never played those, so if you check them out go ahead and share your experience.

>>154213584
Do not reply to bait.
>>
>>154213138
I'm gonna assume that you rely on spells to deal damage, since you haven't posted a screen. Basically, hexes require mana, you use that mana to hex some enemy, and then you don't have enough mana to actually kill it, and since you didn't train your meelee skills too much you can't kill them by tabbing before the hexes wear off. That's why you shouldn't care about hexes, topped by the fact that in late game enemies resist hexes a lot, and you are almost halfway.

Well, while exploring last level my first stair was one that lead right to Pikel. I put a bunch of exclusions on the stairs, on pikel's pack and around it, then went upstairs

I didn't use autoexplore or anything. Spiderform before every fight, identified all the scrolls I coud. Then one of pikel's slaves happened to wander off right where I was, and while kiting him dowan and duvessa came into view. I didn't see all the messages, but I think this is when a gnoll pack with mostly halberdiers and one guy with throwing nets came. Then Pikel himself found me. He had a whip of elec so no point in even trying to fight, putting dowan and the throwing net gnoll aside.

My only escape left was this stair, which led to 2 orc priests and a hound

I have come to accept the fact that I much prefer Brogue, thanks to its total avoidance of classes/races and its attitude of "Just take with what the RNG gives you and make lemonade out of it".

I blame the Elder Scrolls and (modern) Fallout series for that.

I ascended in Brogue already. Are there any similar roguelikes?

You get a fixed amount of enchantment scrolls, food and potions of strength per game, always "enough" for you to win. You make a build by deciding how to allocate the enchantment scrolls - you can enchant basically any non-consumable piece of equipment. For example, you can make a "wizard" by focusing on offensive staves and the means to recharge them more quickly

Just cleared the orb chamber in crawl. Playing a mage, would it be better to clear a more direct path through the breakable walls towards the staircase with LRD, or to gamble with random teleports? I have no idea how bad things are going to get when i pick up the orb.
>>
>>154219435
It's totally gear-based

On one hand, you decide whether to invest in leveling up a mace or a staff or a dagger.

On the other, Brogue's potion system and dynamic environment mean that there are more ways to kill shit than just combat.

The thing about Brogue is you rarely feel OP, or at least not for long. So inventory managing is as vital as picking skills in other games.

It's a different breed of roguelike. Not everyone's cup of tea.

The alien-tech is something of a Schrodinger's Box: it isn't actually technology until you analyze it. Once you attempt to figure out what it is, a roll is made first to decide what the artifact is, and then whether you can figure it out. If the RNG happens to decide it's some kind of tech you already have, then the analysis roll automatically fails. This is a mercy, since you can still sell it to the companies/some planets, so it's not completely useless.

You can tell allies to focus on certain enemies in Demon just like in crawl. You can also ctrl+move to force your summoned allies to move with you, whereas crawl allows commanding allies to retreat. But Demon additionally allows desummoning to completely protect your allies, modifying their ability sets to change how the AI acts, and performing fusions to change your demons' resists and stats. Also, your demons can attack opponents when they or their enemies are out of LOS.

For all I have played of Demon, I find heroes like him VERY vulnerable to dark and body status effects; if you have a means of decreasing his max HP, DO IT. His regeneration can also be crippled with infection, and if you can also poison him that is a big bonus. Aside from that, although he has a self-area attack, I find him easy to tarpit. Just be wary of your demons that are weak to his ranged attacks.
>>
>>154227939
Thanks, that's a useful tip.
>>
>>154228313
Yeah, I just killed him with dark/body oriented demons and I recalled that he was mentioned hours ago in the thread. The same strategy is also useful for that chick who can easily cause the guilt status affect who may appear a few floors later; the first time I encountered her, I drained her max HP until she had so little left that it was easy to finish her off. I had to do a ton of running around, though, but given her bull rush attack, having a gap between my character and her would go sour easily.

Yes, it is grindy. The reward from playing is twofold: a wealth of character combination options for roleplay/self-storytelling, and a really good skinner box for loot+abilities. As you level up, and as you find better stuff, finds that are improvements on what you have get slowly fewer and further between, but more important for all that because the upgrades have gotten rarer. By the time you're ready to take on the Serpent, you'll have discarded mountains of garbage and filtered out some of the best artifacts the game has to offer.

It's a grind, but the skinner box is really well done as well.

She gets much worse once enemies start to cast spells. Also, her abilities don't scale very well: it requires a large EXP expenditure to make the status effects stick around for a useful amount of turns.

>patron god of the orcs that promotes cooperation amongst them
m8, have you ever played as his prophet? He encourages the infighting that occurs when some orcs don't believe in you, and rewards you for killing anyone who preaches that you aren't the messiah. They do have a sense of cooperation against "others" though, which is more than the good gods can say (angels cannot tell when TSO is practically possessing you, and treat you no differently than a Cheibro, a Mahklebite, or a Mummy).
>Trog...neutral
I don't agree with that, but I can kind of understand where they're coming from. Trog hates magic, but there's not an ulterior motive behind it, so it's not malicious, so it's not evil.

>>
>>154250970
What other sort can we apply to them? Their own is not applicable, since they would automatically be justified by it; no one is the antagonist of their own life. We also can't use some other non-human morality or logic, since we're only human. Finally, there's no reason human morality and logic wouldn't be the appropriate method here since morals are wholly subjective, and if something can't be understood logically we have no ability to understand it.

Wanted to do a locked in lab run in CDDA for once and picked mutated profession

If I picked the Minor Radioactivity trait, what does that actually do? Besides trip geiger counters I guess.
>>
>>154259791
Slowly irradiates ground you're on which then raises your radioactivity. High enough rads mutates and hurts you unless you have radiogenic
>>
>>154259791
well you will occasionally be dosed with tiny amounts of radiation

on its own I think it will decay fast enough that you will never get radation sickness but you could run into problems if the mutation upgrades or you combine it with other sources of radiation

i know radiation sickness decreases your stats (getting worse the more you have) but idk what its other effects are.
mutations maybe? pain?

WHY IN THE FUCK DID THEY REMOVE SINGULARITY

Just keep playing 0.16, no one is forcing you to "upgrade".

>>154267803
Basically it was too awesome. Firestorm on steroids. They didn't want to nerf it (would require actual thinking!), so yeah.
>>
>>154267507
>DO THEY HATE FUN?
You have never played more than a single version of DCSS and have never looked at an older one if you have to ask this question
>>
>>154267507
Because it let you kill shit offscreen and it made tloc too good.
>>
>>154267803
Three things:
DCSS doesn't have much AI. Monsters will walk into the singularity like retards. It's basically fulminant prism to the ninth power.

Singularity could be dropped down and you could piss off while it killed a screen. Like super corrupt for super cheap.

Singularity was a top tier offensive spell in the same school and book as the best utility spell in the game.

Basically it was a spell that belonged in a game that is not crawl. It is a completely reasonable removal, though the idea is quite solid and could do well in a better game

Better than having to carry around 20 some-odd hand axes. You'd use the returning weapon to dispatch popcorn, and take out the javelins/ruks on the bigger problems. Not to mention it made weight management infinitely easier.

Yes, they can if you do extended and scum for more time that you'd probably need to do a full 15 rune win on the first place. That is enough of a deterrent as most people don't even want to do extended. Apts simply are a limiter to troll OPness earlygame so you can't always effortlessly breeze through a 3 rune win, as you more or less can and definitely could if they had even neutral apts

It's not the same thing. You trying to draw parallels just makes it look like you don't have an argument

>>
>>154286649
I understand now; you're one of those people that read the changelogs and thinks "aha, what interesting tactical thought-provoking non-nobrainer changes!"
Here's an interesting tactical non-nobrainer thought-provoking decision for you, bub: Dex, Str, or Int?
"Dex, obviously!", you might say. Then, thoughtfully "Unless you're a caster; then you might want Int." You may even know enough to say "Except Transmuters of Chei, since their Dex will be way past the point that it starts to grow less useful, and their spells scale off of Str mostly."

When Dex provides more benefits than Str, and you don't need Int, Dex will always be your stat of choice. But when Str is needed to carry useful wands, potions, scrolls, swaps, etc. without penalty, a decision must be made: Dex for a clear boost in EV/combat, or Str for some value that is subjective, based on how much of what you've found in the game so far? It may even decide what species you start off as: Spriggans are fast, but they won't be able to carry many wands, potions, or evokables. Deep Elves are good at magic, but maybe you'd be willing to go Hill Orc for a little more Str. Minotaurs are tough, but Gargoyles can fly, which lets them carry more stuff; maybe that's worth picking them instead?

That this decision was so hard to make that some people could not play Crawl without its removal is a testament to the sort of people that make up Crawl's playerbase.

Anyway if I was you I'd quaff ID those pots, try the waraxes on (until one sticks, then you read remove curse) and equip the banded mail.

Wait some before enchanting the staff. If you don't find anything better you can always enchant it once it's empty.

Each elemental school has a sort of theme, or specialty. Fire, for example, is pure damage. Air, meanwhile, seems to have the theme of MP-efficiency. This is demonstrable in its spells: the buffs have a longer duration than other buffs, the conjurations can do much more damage when used properly, and at its highest levels, they can even hit everything on screen with one cast. Also, Tornado, Airstrike, Ball Lightning, and very very arguably Chain Lightning are gud.

>I feel like shock isn't as threatening anymore
My experience was that monster shock (in the current official version) is a tiny bit annoying, in the sense that it matters a lot, long term, how long time you spend in line of sight. So you always have to micromanage it, and make every turn count (maybe that's part of the fun, I don't know).

I was thinking with the new way that you get some leeway - it's not super important if you spend 7 or 8 turns in LOS, as long as you get out of the fight before the insanity hits.

Perhaps this is the problem though:

>can be cured by just leaving line of sight for a couple of turns
Maybe the problem is that the rate of shock restoration is way too fast. If it was more like 1% per 10 turns it would be more threatening.

>Also, why was Blood Sorcerer removed?

I liked to run melee-cultists where you blew a big spell before finishing them off with a weapon, blood sorcerer was good with this as some spells went under the death treshold. It seems even better in general now that spells are pretty costly in the early game.

Hey! I picked up IA a while ago, here's some feedback about the game.

-I hope you're balancing chasms in the future, right now it's like playing Dark Messiah (pic related).
-Have you considered adding a Y/N warning for attacking gas spores in melee? They look a bit like blood splatters and I feel like this isn't the kind of gameplay they are meant to create.
-Is it normal for an undead native to depth 17 to spawn when opening depth 1 tombs?
-You should either make the level's critical path (between stairs) not involve any searching, or tone down the amount of searching it takes to find secrets, maybe make noticing things a guaranteed success if you've spent long enough in an area. I've had to hit the "s" button 20 times to find a door before, that's like, a hundred turns, imagine what it's like when the only path to the stairs is hidden in the middle of a perfectly innocent looking wall.
-Rogue is now UP as fuck without cloud minds, pls buff

Anyway, your game is really cool and I hope you have a nice day.

Yeah... I've been worrying about this before. Not sure how to balance it though, but I'll think about it. ("The Reanimated Corpse avoids the Chasm"?)

>Have you considered adding a Y/N warning for attacking gas spores in melee?
Yes, I intend to add this.

>Is it normal for an undead native to depth 17 to spawn when opening depth 1 tombs?
It can happen...

>You should either make the level's critical path (between stairs) not involve any searching
This is actually how it is for the first few levels. The game explicitly pathfinds from the player to the stairs and reveals all doors.

Perhaps it could be solved by not having a random chance to discover a door, but instead keeping an internal counter for the door, tracking number of turns until discovery. This counter could then be set randomly within a sensible range. This would avoid extreme 100+ turns situations.

The current way of having a different background for each god is better, though, since you can actually compare them instead of having CK of Xom and CK of Makhleb that have nothing in common. Same for Pr of Zin and Pr of Yred and Pr of Beogh.

well it's based off of mpa-poschengband which originally had QoL changes like pre-revealed monster memory, no ID/*ID* distinction, a no-selling mode that gave you bonus gold, etc

I think several of those have been added as options in PCB 5.0.0 now though so there aren't as many big changes, just a lot of small tweaks/fixes

oh yeah and currently it still has "you have evolved into a stone of lore" at xl25, but that always seemed weird to me and I was thinking of removing that and just putting a guaranteed Stone in a quest somewhere instead

>Balancing chasms
Well, the problem is you've got an instant death tile and a way to kick enemies into it easily. There's two ways you can solve the problem:
1) Make chasms not instadeath
2) Make it harder to push enemies into hazards

The second option sucks IMO, because terrain that can be cleverly used encourages player creativity and is fun as fuck.

Here's my idea.
* Enemies you kick down chasm don't die; the log just says they "fall to the depths below", and they'll be added to the pool of nasties waiting to chew you off next level, possibly all nice and healed up with buddies nearby.
* You could make "can survive a fall" a monster property: Reanimated corpses and ghouls have it, cultists and players don't and will automatically die when kicked into a chasm themselves (i.e. bloated corpse attacks). Instead of "there's a chasm in the way" the game would explicitly say "I would not survive that fall." (In which case, uh, blind exploration would become even more dangerous.)
* "Survives a fall" could be an acquired ghoul and/or rogue and/or war vet perk. All three could be justified realism-wise, and maybe gameplay-wise. Occultist are weak nerds and likely to have a bunch of other escape options anyway.
You could even have an enemy exclusive to chasm levels that can only be killed by kicking it off a chasm.
* If you want to make it available to Occultists for some reason, I can see it being bundled in with Tough (with further toughness perks lowering fall damage). Or maybe all classes can do it from the very beginning, and jumping down chasms is a risky escape option available on those levels, making the feature work nearly like Brogue's (except without the ability to climb back up).
* You could even allow smart monsters to jump down chasms if they detect some major threat like a stick of dynamite they can't escape. But that might be too annoyingly smart.

>>
>>154309181
(By blind exploration I mean while literally blinded.)

Another way to handle the problem:
* Enemies (or players) kicked down chasms don't fall instantly. Instead, they move over the "chasm" tile and automatically cling to the edge. (Well, unless suffering bad status effects like cursed/weak/blind/confused/etc.)
* If left alone, they will climb back up after a few turns. Attacking or kicking them a few more times sends them plummeting to their doom, but here's the catch: unless the player is using a ranged attack, that enemy has a chance to grab the player every turn.
* If they manage to grab the player, the stakes increase. The player only has a few turns left, and two options. They can keep attacking the horrible thing. If they kill it, everything's fine. But if they don't, the creature drags the player down with it as it falls, causing an instant game over.
* OR, they can retreat, dragging the clinging creature back onto solid ground. Problem is, that's a lot of effort, and so the player ends up Exhausted while the monster is still alive.

This creates a few interesting decisions:
-Do I kick this Ghoul down the chasm?
-If yes, do I attack it in melee and risk getting grabbed? Or do I run away knowing it'll climb back alive? Or do I waste ammo/spirit to safely kill it from range?
-If I went with melee and got grabbed, do I try to kill it off and risk instant death? Or do I retreat and face the Ghoul again, Exhausted and thus in a worse position?

However, I am not sure I would enjoy that system, because not knowing the odds of being grabbed and instakilled would make the mechanic unfair and cause many deaths until the player runs into enough chasms to figure it out. Unless grabbing happens on a critical, and the game makes it clear, then we're cool.

No matter what option you go with, I suggest chasms start appearing early on, so they're familiar to players. Maybe even from D1 onwards; if they stop being instadeath they're unlikely to break the game.

Will Abyssal Shield be a good investment on a doombringer or will the Vim go out too fast in the endgame with all the damage and I'll be left with my dick in my hand?
This is on normal so it'll probably work but what about nightmare which I usually play?

>Replace Throw with Throw Ally on Iron Giants
>The Throw implementation was meant to be more about fun ways to reposition the player that involved landing next to dangerous things or unexplored areas with dangerous things. In practice the ability was much more about giving the monster undodgeable damage and more chances to pelt you with ranged attacks. It didn't help that iron giants are almost always the most dangerous thing on the level already, so you tended to land next to less dangerous things.

>Remove this ability and give iron giants the ability to throw any aligned monster at you instead. This can put nasty things next to the player that often bog them down, giving the iron giant the chance to get closer. It also will set up more instances of the iron giant's line-of-fire being blocked by relatively trivial monsters that happen to be nearby. Maybe a future tweak can look into having iron giants select only sufficiently nasty monsters to throw in the first place, or possibly favoring landing sites that are more likely to slow down the player's escape.

>Some other fun player-repositioning monster ability might well be introduced later, leading to many player deaths and the consternation of elf-lickers everywhere. One idea we discussed is a kind of teleportitis-other that seeks to land players next to hostiles, much like the mutation, but it would need further thought.
They also should give iron giants lasers and cblink while they're at it

Can't tell from lvl 1, but unless the protection improves a lot to something like 30%, it won't make much of a difference.

It's not bone(r) shield tier for sure. More like thick skin on hormones (reverse roids).

How do doombringers regain vim? Just from kills? Endgame reavers and corruptors tend to regain 200+ vim from a single drain, but I don't see drain on doombringer.

With Draining strike or whatever it's called and that's for 50 a turn with a cooldown of 6 and it's also dependent on succesfully hitting twice in a row so on accuracy.
Yeah this is starting to sound pretty shitty to me too for higher difficulties but it's fun on normal.
I guess I'll test it out on normal too.

Also about the wyrmics, I tried to play one like a Bulwark but it was pretty boring and then I got killed by some rare when I took a stupid risk.
It's just that they have so many possibilites on paper but they always seem to go either breath or bulwark so they're just shit.

>It's just that they have so many possibilites on paper but they always seem to go either breath or bulwark so they're just shit.
They simply lack a good spam ability.
In ToME, it's mostly about instants, sustains and a tiny set of bread and butter abilities. If an attack "rotation" is longer than 5 non-instant abilities, it is getting too long already.

All the good classes have some nukes they can use a lot. Corruptors have their blood grasp, reavers have reaving which procs every turn, archmages have wildfire-boosted fire spells, bulwarks have assault and shield bash, 2 weapon users have flurry etc.
It's always those few good abilities and a load of crap no one uses, like bone nova which all good corruptors have (needed for boner shield) but never use.

Some patches try to fix it by making bad abilities less bad and good abilities less good, but many of them are just too unspecialized to be ever worth taking or too specific to ever work.
For example, all wyrmic abilities have giant cooldowns, meaning they can't be spammed. Most of them are AoE with some crap statuses on top, meaning they suck in damage department.
Also, single type classes are much better because you max that one damage type. No one focuses on more than one damage type because you can't max bonus damage and penetration that way.

This is a huge problem, there are so many bosses and powerful enemies that are just like "HURR DURR 90% RESIST ALL LETS GO FAGGOT 1ON1 FAGGOT".

Angband and DCSS have it too, powerful enemies tend to have just this huge list of everything they're immune or resistant to which makes everything except unresistable damage shit. And even though it's not a roguelike, this reminds me of Path of Healthnodes and it really shows that penetration-based elemental resistance balancing is utter dogshit.

Enemies shouldn't just have blanket all elemental resist without very good reasons or some temporary way to bypass it.

Not sure if joking, but Sun Paladin is considered low tier. Archmage is considered god tier and there is at least one madness win with it. Mostly because of the shield spam.

Try to find a guide for nightmare or insane. They don't apply too well to normal, but they always abuse the best abilities (because they fucking have to). Same shit that slides just fine on normal will get your boipussi antimagically disrupted on nightmare. Mostly because on nightmare you can expect 15 turn stuns, 1k damage hits and 2k damage combos

General tips are:
>play shalore because they have timeless and timeless is so god tier that 80% of characters who don't go for antimagic should go for shalore
>play classes that have at least one great defensive ability that doesn't have bullshit like "shields only up to 50% of the damage because fuck you"

It's just that there aren't really that many up-to-date guides for NM+ for most things and I also don't have the patience to go through the code for the math which things will be reliable for the endgame and any tricks I'll probably overlook.
Also, Sun Paladins at least used to be top-tier tanks for nightmare and could easily beat the game.

And most of that is due to sustains, so classes which can remove those will always rape everything, while everyone stands around and cries.

>Angband and DCSS have it too, powerful enemies tend to have just this huge list of everything they're immune or resistant to which makes everything except unresistable damage shit.
In DCSS and Angband you can often walk away, teleport or at least hide somehow. In ToME if you can't get rid of something, it will chase you from the other end of the map, stun you for 10 turns and also often happens on critters like midge swarm, meaning it's faster than you.

Randuniques are the most bullshit part of ToME, though also the most exciting.
For example, shadow veil, which gives tons of res all and makes something *teleport behind you* every turn, dealing huge damage.
