Innate Abilities, Weirdness & Mutations

You have hooves in place of feet.
You are completely covered in large bone plates. (SH +8)
You resist negative energy. (rN+)
You are completely attuned to the shadows.
You are powered by pain.
You are somewhat able to resist unholy torments (1 in 2 success).
You have very sharp teeth.
Your flesh is heat resistant. (rF+)
You are frail. (-10% HP)
Your natural rate of healing is unusually fast.
You sometimes yell uncontrollably at your foes.
You are weak. (Str -2)
Your spells are a little harder to cast, but a little more powerful.

Pretty much same Tornado/Shatter capacity as my MiBe as well. Not a single high-level conjurations spellbook has spawned so far. I am slightly impressed. Still have Slime to do, but I'm not so keen on that on a slow Chei-dude.

Unless I've gone completely bonkers, the only logical next step is a Zig.

Looks like I'm not added to blacksmiths yet, "Petestorm" is the name.  So far, 3 runs and 2 runes, so not a terrible showing to start.  A win would be nice though.

You're added to my file - I just checked. Have you added me as team captain in your file? The code is copy-pastable from the team list in the first post, if not.

I'd like to join Miners. I've won in 0.18 a few times and I expect to win a few times in the tournament. My dcss name is ggurman.

Thanks.

Got ya added to the list in the first post. You'll need to add IcyTea as your team captain, and he'll need to notice and add you.

Where were the ghost kills visible?
On my player sheet I noticed -
Code: [Select]
Team points
N Points Source
1 5      gkill
So I went to Wins and Kills, then Ghost Kills, looked up my name, and finally looked up the player's name under player scores and found the character I killed.

Random question.

When starting up a tabber character - say a MiBe or MiGl - and setting skills, is it better to go all-in for the selected weapon skill, in hopes of finding a good weapon, or to focus on Fighting, for the first few levels, in anticipation of swapping weapons as the dungeon demands?

AlStar sweet, thanks! I've managed to get one dude somehow - presumably the high-level MiBe ghost.

What I do, for all my melee guys, is focus Weapon Skill, and leave fighting and the most important of Armour/Dodging/Shield trained, but unfocused. I stop Armour/Dodging at ~10, fighting generally goes on unless I need Invocations. Weapon skill stays until mindelay or 1 AUT attacks, depending on the char.

Oh, interesting. I think I'll try that. The strat I've been familiar with is 100% on the kill-dudes skill until min-delay/sufficiently-low-casting-failure, then 100% into relevant defense. Then split out afterwards on an as-needed basis.

Well, there goes my VSWr. Juggernauts are apparently capable of dealing ~60 damage a turn through 40 AC and crystal plate armour. Bluh. The worst part is that if that last large rock hadn't hit me, I'd have gotten away clean.

Re: Dungeon Crawl 0.19 tournament: get on a Bay12 team!
« Reply #100 on: November 05, 2016, 05:47:20 pm »

AlStar sweet, thanks! I've managed to get one dude somehow - presumably the high-level MiBe ghost.

Random question.

When starting up a tabber character - say a MiBe or MiGl - and setting skills, is it better to go all-in for the selected weapon skill, in hopes of finding a good weapon, or to focus on Fighting, for the first few levels, in anticipation of swapping weapons as the dungeon demands?

What I do, for all my melee guys, is focus Weapon Skill, and leave fighting and the most important of Armour/Dodging/Shield trained, but unfocused. I stop Armour/Dodging at ~10, fighting generally goes on unless I need Invocations. Weapon skill stays until mindelay or 1 AUT attacks, depending on the char.

Oh, interesting. I think I'll try that. The strat I've been familiar with is 100% on the kill-dudes skill until min-delay/sufficiently-low-casting-failure, then 100% into relevant defense. Then split out afterwards on an as-needed basis.

I've always done 100% weapon skill until mindelay or the leveling gets too slow (~level 18, depending on the race), then 100% fighting till level 16 (an arbitrary number that's worked well), then Armor to 20/Invo to 10ish/whenever fail rates hit 1%, and then I train whichever one of Shields/Fighting/Long Swords/Armor/Invo/Dodging (roughly in that order) I need most. Basically, first you want to to more damage, and then when you get less of a damage increase for XP gained, focus on defense.



Congrats TheDarkStar on the Champions' first win! It seems Aelig is hot on your heels, so best of luck there!

 :P Beaten to my own victory post.

Yeah, I did a 15 rune MiFiOka->TSO win.

0.19 is the best version of Crawl.

Why?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It is glorious.



I usually go with weapon skill until 1.0 delay, Fighting/Armour/Dodging/Shields to six and then push for min delay. After that, I just split xp between all skills that I might find useful and forget that the m key exists for the rest of the game. Mind you, I don't use non-lajatang two-handed weapons, so that might impact things.

With casters, I usually do the same thing, but more staggered. Conjurations/Elemental until #### power, Fighting/Dodging to six and then get whatever spell carries me through Lair[Sticky Flame, Static Discharge] to 1%. Then alternate between boosting spell skills two levels and boosting other stuff two levels.

Considering a 15 rune, but I've never cleared crypt or gathered a pan rune.  Also I always have a terrible time in the Ice hell.  Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.  I have yet to use a device recharge, so feel like I should at least have to do that once before I call it a win.

Well done Aelig! Well done all :)

I'll let someone else advise Not good with names, since I'm not good with Deep Dwarves, but if you don't feel confident just go for the win. Trust me on that one  :D

You could definitely do Tomb with that equipment. +11 antimagic exec axe and Riposte? I legitimately can't think of a way to make that less absurd. Health could be a problem with DD, but I've never gotten one past Lair, so I don't really know how to keep that high. In Tomb, make sure to fight only one enemy at a time. Abuse stair dancing. Be especially cautious of greater mummies, because they have many nasty spells. Antimagic should ensure they only get off a few, but several torments followed by smites can finish off anyone. I have no idea how device recharging interacts with -20% MP, but it might be good to cure it if you're going to need a lot of Heal Wounds charges.



I just got out of the most terrible labyrinth ever. It took me six THOUSAND turns and ~25 minutes to get out of, plus I used ~15 teleports out of desperation[Thank Xom I found a wand of tele earlier]. I was legitimately considering either quitting or spiking my potato on the floor every time I turned a corner and found another goddamn dead end. At least the loot at the end was sweet[Ring AND Staff of Fire on a FE and an OK randart ring].
