its advisable to go into some magic, always.
if you find repel/swiftness/blink you should try to have them up by midgame or so, and haste/deflect by zot
if you mean "should i go for conjurations/killdude spells as a mainly meleedude", then hell no.
but skilling a weapon skill to 10-12 or so while being mainly blastercaster is even advisable.

Merfolk/high elf makes for a pretty good skald. anything with a good launcher apt or hex apt and decent launcher apt makes for a good arcane marksman. If you play in pre-0.18 you can do a GrEE in medium/heavy armor with stoneskin spamming iron shot then bonking with 27 earth 27 evo staff of earth melee. In general, Nemelex is a pretty good all magic in 1 skill with its decks. Older versions with pakellas give the strongest "magic" game for a hybrid without extended.

>a permanent meleedude ally that respawns is quite powerful

It doesn't have enough hps to survive anywhere, though.

The formula for its hitpoints is HD * 5 + max(0, (HD - 12) * 5);

And HD is (you.experience_level - 1) * 2 / 3 + 1;

That's 120 hitpoints when you are XL 27, with low AC, EV, MR, and no real resistances to speak of.

At XL10, typically around when you first get it, the ancestor will have 35 hitpoints. and practically zero AC/EV/MR.

Basically any other kind of ally is more useful, and you can have multiples from summon spells and shit.

Maybe the hexer for its spells, but other than that the ally seems like total shit.

>>154760643
it respawns, and in any case you have an invocation that heals it and massively buffs its offense/maybe defense too?

you're not using your piety for anything else (the ancestor's power doesn't even depend on piety!), so you're free to spam that shit
>>
>>154759617
>>154760643

Also, there are no piety level passives whatsoever, not even alterations to the ally, and the 2nd and top 3 piety breakpoints give you NOTHING.

>>154760995
A heal and minor buff don't mean much when it dies in one hit, regardless.

Seriously, how long do you think 120 hitpoints with no resists and poor AC/EV/MR are going to last against the kind of stuff you fight at XL27?

And respawning takes a bit, and you can't control when it happens, unlike other allies like from summoning spells.

Found the PR with a bit of searching: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/18189

Looks like there's plans to add a setting for volume units later. It was merged four days ago, so get a version from before then, and you should be good to go.
The latest I downloaded was 0.C.5463, and I haven't noticed any bugs so far.

I WON! PRAISE RNGESUS!

This is my second win in a real roguelike but I got incredibly lucky.

The Quietus Whip spawned on the first floor and I found a lot of Trolls who heroically gave their lifes to protect me also the Dryad is also OP as fuck because it entangles enemies, the only downside is that it makes grass grow all over the place and there's fire everywhere in the deeper levels.

Is he a solid subject to fusing though? What'd be the best pair for him?
>>
>>154778020
I don't think he's a good fuse target, there'll be beefier and stronger tanks later on in the tower with better resists and normal speed, and he'll be underleveled compared to them since he starts off at level 2. But his modifier seems good so he might be a good sacrifice once you've found a replacement for him.

most of your food comes from killing shit and eating their corpses. although some corpses will poison you or make you hallucinate or kill you with food poisoning, so don't eat those ones

I've played as a squishy Orb+dark/ice and i'm 15 on the leaderboards ayy
>>
>>154778553
Allegedly there's like an 85% base accuracy for all attacks with +0% agility modifier on both attacker and defender, assuming same level. Anyway don't bother calculating accuracy. For a blasty mage just use a bunch of "cannot miss" attacks like most dark/light attacks, frost ring, flame orb, breath attacks, and whatever else. Dark/ice orb of power start is really fucking good, and none of the attacks can miss. Just pump 5 magic all game, and make sure to stay away from ranged physical attackers like red caps. If you have to use a ranged attack that can miss, like light dart, try to have a party member buff you with focus (ACC up), or use intent on yourself. Or you can just choose a line of fire with multiple enemies in line, so if you miss one, you still have a good chance of hitting the other.
>>
>>154780046
I want to use light dart because it can be shot thru my demons and it deals more damage than the cannot miss equivalent (censure iirc), but it needs some investment on agility to work.
>>
>>154780423
Yea light dart is amazing. But like I said, just buff yourself with ACC up somehow and fuck agility. You can get vehemence from Artemis for OFF+ACC up or intent from a red cap.
>>
>>154779895
Yeah, it was boring. Plus the score was minuscule since I never killed anything.

This patch is harder for squishy casters because of the Strength changes. Been going full strength every game and loving it.

>>154780423
You don't need Agi to use Light Dart. Just aim it so that multiple enemies are in the line of fire.

Maybe enemy sense so you pick a fight location and not end up surrounded. Quick dismiss is good so you can replace a meatshield demon while not exposing yourself. Soul armor can be nice to remove your physical weakness. If you're an orb of power, you already have translator and transpose soul which are great.

Arcane marksman. Thanks to your ranged weapon and mostly 1 skill support you can have pretty effective disables. It's really something when you have a bunch of confused dudes who are also slowed by metabolic englaciation stumbling around in Leda's Liquefaction while you pelt them under haste and +9 song of slaying. Plus with dithmenthos, his spell mirroring essentially adds an additional 25% chance you'll land your hex. Damn shame about enslavement though.... ;_;7

Pakellas or Evo Nem was pretty great too and so was when you could reliably acq a couple rods. You could take a high hp race, pack an rElec randart and explode shit with 23+ evo disc of storms. Though makh is bretty good too since you aren't as fucked up by it. Evo's just such a cool thing in crawl.

15 Throwing + Yara's Unravelling : 51%

poison rune casting high spellpower olgrebs radiance
slime rune shooting a corrosive bolt/creating a corrosive puddle that lasts a few turns

Surely they have some weakness: what sick man would make a monster that appears often
in every dungeon at every depth, is just as fast as you, hits hella hard (or deals stacking DoT, it seems to depend on the dungeon), is invulnerable to most melee, is totally invulnerable to ranged, and doesn't die in one hit without giving it some kind of crucial weakness?

I think I found it. The glyph-selector (showicons.c) refers to (monster?) 107 as a "Blob", and view.c (probably what is displayed when you look at things with the v key) refers to monster 106 as a "Blob". Meanwhile, monsters.h refers to the "Gray Ooze" and the "Green Slime" as monster 106 and 107 respectively. This seems a probable link. I think that the one that does DoT is the Gray Ooze, and the one that hits really hard is the Green Slime.

I wish I knew what those tags in monsters.h meant. Maybe they're resistances/immunities.
>>
>>154837586
Well it's still a golem, just made out of neutron fermi liquid or something.

>>154837793
Well above the monster list in monsters.h it's KINDA explained at least what the numbers are.
So Grey Ooze has 27 HP, is level 3, has 16 attack and 4 defense, and I guess MS_AMAGIC means it resists magic or something.

Qud used to do kill you with autotravel sometimes. It wouldn't get interrupted when things missed you so if you were unlucky autoexplore would end up dumping you in the middle of a big clearing next to a chaingun turret and you'd have to pray for more misses as you ran back to cover.

Also it completely ignored stationary enemies so it would sometimes move you right next to a qudzu vine and get all your shit rusted. Or a Jilted Lover, which can oneshot some low level characters.

That is all fixed nowadays though.

https://archive.4plebs.org/dl/tg/image/1366/69/1366695563374.pdf
It cannot be strictly called "canon" though, since it's a third-party publisher.

Although of course it's entirely possible to get none.

Oh, I'm not saying it isn't killable. I'm saying it isn't killable by the method of reducing its hit points with conventional attacks until it dies.

>Hell, it's not even the most retard creature from the book.
What's the name of the book? I want to see more of these things.

It's not that it's stupidly powerful, it's that its stupid power is presented on a scale designed to compare humans hitting each other with sticks. You need to roll 40960d10+246 every time it attacks, which you CAN do with a computer, but should never have to, ever.

I kind of want to see the opposite of this. A golem so tiny it breaks the scale several times over. Forged from a single neutron or something.
>>
>>154844443
Yeah but a golem so tiny presents a new problem - it's unhittable.
>>
>>154844443
>What's the name of the book? I want to see more of these things.
I actually was wrong: it is the most retarded creature in the book itself, but not the most retarded creature in the same extended setting from that publisher. Here is >>154843690 the PDF file.

Because :
- Invisibility isn't guaranteed
- Most enemies later can see invisible
- One shout from enemies that suddenly wake up will ruin your assassination attempt
- Later Hex is resisted by big MR / magic immunity

Stabbing only works if the target is sleeping / confused / netted / you're invisible.
This is why Stealth has 3-5 aptitude, it gets old fast.
Without +4 Hex, EH, Confuse and 0.6 movement speed to support it, stealth won't work well.

I found this lying around in a barn. I suspect it was dropped nearby by a passing survivor who had ran out of "blob feed", whatever that is, and crawled the rest of the way on its own. Or maybe it was lost in a freak teleportation accident. Either way, I'm at a loss as to what to do with it. I have no idea how to obtain more blob feed, and at 22 volume, it's not exactly easy to carry. Also, it sounds like something from H.R. Giger's nightmares. Should I leave it? Burn it? Move it someplace secure so I can come back for it?
>>
>>154854357

>>
>>154855771
>>154856272
>>154857486
What

Are you memeing? 1 Str by ITSELF does more than one slay unless he's using light quick weapons. +4 slay is just +d4 in every attack
>>
>>154859248

Does +4 str do more than +d4 in every attack, then?
>>
>>154859248
nowhere near that much

weapon base damage is multiplied by [1 + (str-10)/39], plus some modifiers from fighting and weapon skill, then the game rolls 1dThatNumber and adds 1dSlaying.
>>
>>154856562
that's from the vehicle additions pack mod

i think you can make blob feed out of bones or something?
>>
>>154860281
Str helps a LOT with armor encumbrance. It does affect damage too, not as much as the same amount of slaying, but it's there.
>>
>>154843102
It's not completely useless, it's just not a good tool for killing things. You learn the latter after just a few As games, but the former isn't as obvious.

For what it's worth, it's a fun game. It's just that it came from the 1990s and it has a UI that reflects that. I imagine that if it was updated with autoexplore, more conditions for stopping autoexplore, y/n prompts on important things, and the ability to load your save without opening up a commandline-window, it'd be more played than ADoM, at least by /rlg/.

What it really needs is to be ported to a more modern language so a Tung might encounter it and give it quality-of-life updates.
>>
>>154887918
Nobody plays ADOM here, so that isn't a whole lot of praise.

I tried it when it was first mentioned here and it was basically unplayable if you don't have a numpad, since you can't rebind the keys.

Playing roguelikes without a numpad is completely alien to me. That said, I thought there was a file you could futz with to set custom keybinds. Maybe i'm thinking of something else.

ADOM's not a bad game, the dev's just kind of a dick. Recent changes seem weird to me, though I haven't actually played new versions since he threw in that nagwall advertisement in the beginning which requires a random keypress.

Think of it this way:

Each point of strength adds +1/39 your damage (before strength calculations). This means that for every 39 damage you deal (without accounting for strength yet), you get 1 extra damage.
So, with 1 extra strength, to get 0.5 average extra damage per hit, your average damage would have to be 19.5 before strength calculations.

This number is actually pretty high. Strength will be less valuable point for point than slaying for almost all characters regardless of the effects on armour use.

Not that this is all approximate.

Well my kneejerk reaction is to say what about casting a random minor/medium/major conj spell but Makh already has that, dith has duping, and there's the spellforged servitor. Fedhas has sunlight and rain for terrain shit. Beogh, yred and others provide allies. Especially Hep. There's really no way to make an ability that enhances your magic even if it causes a weakness to the opposing element cause then it's just a no-brainer when you have excess. They hate LoS shit so no telescoping vision stuff.

Why not temporary (or not) random spells from killing natural holiness mooks/uniques, even?
That wouldn't even really be too OP since yredfags can fully enslave ANY holiness character with their full spell lists intact, and the only downside is that the spectral creature HD becomes meh lategame.

While i wait for the complete fsim to calculate, here's a result
An anon asked a few days ago what would be the most powerful weapon in DCSS, and someone responded with an octopode stacked up on stat rings and buffs. Well here it is.
Some reasoning behind some of the stuff i did
>The stats were calculated by adding toghether an OpBe's starting strenght (16), the 9 stat-ups from XL, 15 from cheistats, 4 from two ranks of a stat mutation and an hypothetical 6*7 from all "randarts" rings one could find if given enough time
>All skills were set to 27, but only fighting and UC matter for this
>Every ring has 6 slaying on it, the maximum that can be generated, for a total +42 slaying
>Berserk and might don't actually stack, but i forgot so it's basically just might+haste+50%hp which doesn't matter
>Infusion adds from 2 to 4 damage to an attack. I don't codedive, so it's unclear where in the damage equation is this placed
>Song of slaying can be raised indefinitely as long as you're killing baddies big enough. Here i kept splatting lom lobons until i saw it start to run out
Since regular crawl doesn't tell you monster HP, i don't know whether this is impressive or not

Yes i know the stats are off by one, i noticed too late

It adds +2 to base UC out of forms. But also poison which is great for kiting.
Ice form is decent, but spider/blade hands are usually better.

>>154921220
He gifts +5 to all combat skills and x2 attack speed. Everything else is mostly irrelevant, but still when you use blade hands you only meld your gloves and shield — you're still benefitting from almost all your armour. When you get statueform you'll be not melging your helm, cloak and shield.

Why would your transformations ever wear off?

let say that every equipment and spell has an individual 'power value', and the sum of all the power values gives a power quotient used to multiply the stats of each monster on a new floor.

DC:SS takes too long to ramp up. You start off on D:1 killing rats and lizards and goblins, but that's okay.

Then D:2 is the same, except with two or three adders. Then D:3 is the same except for no adders and an orc or gnoll pack instead. And so on. By and large, the floors are composed of the same stuff: lots of trivial enemies, with rare dangerous enemies that you either draw away to 1vs1 or walk away from until later.

Branches are even worse because all of their floors are exactly the same and the only difference between X:$ and X:1 is the number of enemies. At least D:1 monsters don't compose the whole population of D:15

My issue isn't that nothing is dangerous, it's that so much stuff isn't dangerous. Yes, an orc pack on D:2 might make you walk away, but by Orc:1 the only reasonable response is tabtabtabtabtab. Yaks are scary on D:6, but by L:4 you just look for a place that lets you take them on 1vs1 or 2vs1.

Things tend to be scary when first encountered, but then you keep on encountering the same things over and over again but by the time you're half-way through the branch they're not dangerous to you anymore but the whole branch is themed around them so you just keep on fighting them. The game needs less monsters, and more dangerous monsters.

A fairly lenghty original epic superhero web novel.
>>
>>154935108
That's why you now don't have orcs spawned in Orc on their own at all. Only as a part of packs of nastier ones.
Orc got shortened by 2 levels — but the exp remained the same. By buffing the threat.
Lair 1 and 2 got cut. You now fall directly to L:3.
But anyway you do get more dangerous monsters the deeper you go. For example, getting a craken/alligator snapping turtle/Ilsuiw pack on A:1 is extremely unlikely.

>>154935256

Hmmm maybe I should try again since I didn't even reach 20M wth. Tomb and early game really eats a lot of turncount.

Okay. Do you agree that Don Quixote is a deconstruction of chivalric romance?
>>
>>154933508
I feel like the game would be better served if it was guaranteed you could choose a god from the full pool, whether in the temple or spread around, by D:4.

And general difficulty of early floors were adjusted to fit that new model.

Then things would be less of a snooze fest for each early game

>comparing the best book ever created to a shitty superhero story

>>154940926
Now you are garanteed to do that by d:9. Not a huge stretch.

Fine.

>>154941020
8 dungeon levels of waiting for the game to begin is kind of shitty after you've played more than a dozen games.
>>
>>154941142
I've played ~3.5k games and the game kinda ends by ~level 15 anyway. Then you usually have enough to win. So it's only really interesting at the start, when you are scraping by and managing your resources. Giving away all the tools at start will just invalidate the whole purpose.
>>
>>154941142

>8 dungeon levels of waiting for the game to begin

the game begins at D:1 dungeon entrance
>>
>>154941453
proof?
>>
>>154941435
>>154941453

To be honest, I would rather be able to start out with a god of my choice during character creation, and have piety and god gifts be a little more gradual, just so early early game is more interesting.

There could still be altars for switching gods and dicking around with penance
>>
>>154941798
Well, you can still choose your Trog of choice!
>>
>>154941798

So you're basically saying that you can't handle D1-D8 without a god. It's a nice trivia but can you please keep your casualization ideas to yourself
>>
>wanting the late game to happen even earlier

Seriously?

Post-lair the game gets twice as o-tabby, and by that point you've already maxed out your piety, filled all of your armor slots, and gotten your weapon of choice, so you've really got nothing to look forward to.

The only things you have left to do at that point are finding artefacts and grabbing runes.

Too many fucking casuals in this thread desu

New cata displays my volume in mililiters. How can I change it to the old system ?

>So you're basically saying that you can't handle D1-D8 without a god.

No, i'm not. I'm saying I would probably find it a bit more interesting and enjoyable.

I can't say for sure, and I'm definitely still going to play even though it doesn't work this way.

Neither am I seriously suggesting this is a change that needs to be made.
>>
>>154935996
>I like Worm, ponies and crossovers of those two.
hello nightgazer starlight
>>
>>154942430
Thing is people find different things enjoyable. You prefer less challenging gameplay, and this is normal. But most people appreciate being forced to endure till they find an executioner's axe, not picking it up on d:1.
>>
>>154942430

So if you can handle D1-D8 without a god then that's obviously because Gods or No Gods at that point are non-issues. Actually, even at non-Zig postend (15 runes+orbrunning), Gods or No Gods are still non-issues and still mostly irrelevant unless speedrunning which you obviously aren't doing.

>u prefer less challenging gameplay
No, that's not what I said.

In fact, I specifically mentioned that the early game's difficulty would be adjusted to account for the earlier acquisition and choice of a god, and that the god's piety and gifts would come about at a different rate as well.

Learn to read, or fuck off.

>>154943047
> that's obviously because Gods or No Gods at that point are non-issues

I never said or even hinted that this was a matter of a game mechanic being an "issue". I have been pretty specific that it's all an opinion of mine based on how I think the early game would be less boring.
>>
>>154943339
Take it easy.

>>154943398
Not that strong, but pretty fun. Less fun now that you can't get explosion though.
>>
>>154943339
The only item worth abandoning Chei for is the Lightning Scales.
>>154943398
Is gud. Best as a swap from some Invocation-using god at higher levels though, since piety doesn't do much and the power of your dad depends on your XL.

Chei isn't a good god for Ogres at alll; they should never use him so it should never come up.
Dragonform with Cheistats is objectively superior damagewise, and Statueform is superior altogether.

>>154943949

Moving delay? 3.0
>>
>>154942303
You can't, though it's only a couple of days old so you could get an early version if you want.

There's a PR on github to display it in liters so it isn't full retard but apparently this takes like four days of something to merge.
>>
>>154944041
The delay is still 1.5 times normal action costs.

UC at mindelay is between 7 and 8 auts per attack randomly, movement for most species is at 30 auts.

Hey, you're right! Good thing that's not what I said at all, and nothing in what I said contained even a hint of suggestion to make the game easier.

Also good thing I already very specifically stated that difficulty would be adjusted and still scale appropriately in the case of the other changes I mentioned.

Man, I sure was thorough. Only a moron would think I was ever suggesting to make the game easier, at this point.

>>154945176
it just takes a long-ass time to regenerate

if you're real desperate you can #pray; your hp is low ennough that your god will heal you

just don't overuse that or bad things will happen

>>154945176
I think your health doesn't regenerate if you wear iron as an elf. Some variant does that, at least.

Elona if you can cope with x20 times the grind and an awful interface

not sure how true that is

Thanks, I've tried Elona before, and its a game that takes a long time to sink your teeth into I must admit.

I'm thinking about getting Caves of Qud, any good?
>>
>>154946770
I enjoy qud

there's an older version available for free on the dev's website, so you can try it out without spending
>>
>>154946298
>and an awful interface
i honestly don't think elona interface is bad
it's just different from most mainstream roguelikes, so you have to learn it just like you did with your first roguelike.
after a few games of elona going on act 3 i've learned to hate the game though.
