Nope. Has to be a scroll that's actually consumed. Noise, random uselessness, possibly curse if you're desperate, all good choices. Fog, fear, summoning, few others. Obv. don't intentionally spew out immolation scrolls to train. Torment's okay iffin' yer undead, but a really bad idea for a DD.

Or just put off identifying things until you have a few points of EXP bouncing around. It shouldn't take long to get the first level.

Dragon form on a felid... would be vaguely ridiculous, I guess. Can you even cast the thing in your current state? One way of doing things, though.

Why are you toting a wand around, if I may ask? Did they change it so the fuzzies can use wands?

YEEEEES Book of annihilations! Found it on a shop, thought I'd never get it since I worship Chei as a vampire wizard.

You see Psyche, she doesn't appear to have noticed you.

So I cast orb of destruction and:

Psyche explodes!

I blew up Aizul with an Orb of Destruction, gained a level, and did a stat increase, all while I was asleep.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

orb of destruction is awsome, sometimes powerfull monsters don't even notice you untill they already got 3 orbs flying towards them :P

Cat berserker, preacher, templar, and now a statue. Cats are awesome. :D

Yes, cats can cast Dragon form. I was bored, so I used the wand to beat some monsters to death.

So the fuzzies can beat on things even if they can't actually use the item... neat, I guess.

Yeah, I figured the cats can cast dragon form (they've got blade hands enabled now, apparently), just wasn't sure if the stats you had in the dump were capable of casting the spell with any reliability.

Statue form's crazed enough, though. Just shy of 350 hp on a cat is vaguely ridiculous.

A statue with 31 EV ?
Difficult to imagine a "slow moving stone statue" to be able to dodge anything.

A quick check on the wiki and bot and indeed statue form do not lower the EV, seems like more awesome spell than i thought at first. Though the action reduction "similar to the slow spell" does sound really bad considering how powerfull and fast the monster begin to be when you can cast such spell.

Maybe that's why they left the EV unaffected to prevent this spell to feel like a death trap instead of an advantage.

I smell a nerf.

edit:
I'm stuck fighting Dispater on the ten rune challenge. What's a good way to kill him, short of changing to TSO and shattering my way through the back of hell? He's survived through an entire MP stack of firestorms, haunts, and shatters. <3 DEWz

Mr.Scruffy can only cast Dragon Form with a potion of brilliance.  Cats can wield some stuff in their mouth. They can also lob exploding potions at monsters.

My cat has 38 EV, so Statue Form reduced it by 7. It doesn't matter much, since I can cast Plane Shift and Deflect Missiles.

Your cat is frickin' mental.

Incidentally, has anyone floated the idea of Red Draconians getting a fire magic power boost?  I mean, that way they would actually be useful for fire elementalists and non fire elementalists alike.
