Previous thread:

This thread is like ToME Halflings, it just won't die

FIRST FOR MEME MAIL

Why should it?
Several different games to play and post about and the ascii keeps the kids away.

>pcb_tiles.png

Also spellcasters get cross training. What's your point?

Not for spell schools.

>have spent all week driving around only to find dead ends

>it's just three houses and they are destroyed anyway
Fuck I will have to reduce city spacing for my next character.

Fuck labs.

how viable is Throwing in the late game? ive put 15 points into to see what its like and i can soften up those enemies with stones quite nicely, even kill them in fringe cases but i dont think enemies past Dungeon will be very impressed by it

Javelins of penetration are really great, but I wouldn't go further if you aren't a ruk thrower.

Just blink inside and tp out.

Just use diggging/destruction.

Or just ignore that since it will be probably shit and disappointing.

>tfw you have a dart of penetration instead of a javelin in your pants
>tfw no more darts

...

If you are a ruk caster, you 2shot orbs of fire with 27 throwing, around 60% damage, more with a good roll. Everything else that isn't a boss gets straight up one shot unless you get a shit roll.

If you can't cast ruk, get min delay with javelins and call it a day.

>neon green on Yotsuba B

Just maximize it you fag.

Nigga, that was unbreakable stone. Note the tile difference between the left and the right. Can't get in there. I have a new issue of really nice artifacts that aren't good weapons. Atleast I have the double sword so nothing matters.

Ashen pls

so is anyone actually going to make a clan?

Should use identify scrolls to identify weapons. Sucks to wield a distortion weapon or one of the new artifact mods like contam.

whats a ruk?

It means newfag

yes,thats why im asking
no need to be so elitist about video games, friend

It's a ruk.

big rock

I've been short ID scrolls all game. I actually have cancellation for a contam thing, but I would definitely have been burned by disto.

ruks are what you throw when you are short on snozzcumbers

>+9 vamp double sword
>artifact gauntlets of regen in orc
>artifact troll leather of huge dex and strength in orc
>book with regeneration in it
This human basically has infinite HP.

Splatted my PCB jelly because I'm the most stupidest asshole to ever grace this thread.
It was quite fun playing it though, I'll probably try again some other time.

that explains everything, thanks

How'd you do it?

How comes that there is still not a spell in crawl that increases your size to 1 tier higher for the duration?

Went to Giant's Hall 40 with a Greater Titan and Utgard-Loke right fucking next to the stairs.
Decided to fight them.

Doesn't dragon form do that? It'd just increase your HP and tank your EV. And let you throw ruks I guess.

>i guess
>Implying it's not an incredible advantage

>A nymphal hybrid, with a winged torso of a human on top of a bee abdomen
They really didn't try with that tile.

because that would be hard to program and crawl is a complete mess

I told them it would be cool if there were a homunculus race that ate magical items and got bigger or smaller depending on satiation and they laughed

program it yourself they said

but crawl is a fucking mess and that will never be worth it

It's a placeholder tile for bee-like enemies

...

What a shitty reward from the Old Castle-quest.
Where can I find the Paladin exclusive quest?
Zul perhaps?

Not that user, but look - because of dual spell schools, when you train Hexes you get cross training on Spectral Weapon and Fulminant Prism, when you train Charms, you get cross training on Death's Door, when you train Conjurations, you cross train the majority of elemental offensive spells and so on, and so on.

What would be the use for it? Only escaping nets and constriction? But you usually don't even know which enemies carry nets until it's too late. Also knowing devs, they'd call it tedious (thus unwanted) to have a spell that you cast every time you see a gnoll, a merfolk, a naga/anaconda or that Zot/Abyss hentai monster.

Also increasing size decreases your Stealth and EV, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to use it ever. Now 1 tier smaller on the other hand... but then again - tedious etc., won't get implemented for the same reasons buffs like Condensation Shield were removed.

Its really amusing that I'm a rune deep and hydras still give me trouble.

...

Have you checked the Paladins Guild in Morivant?

Yeah, can't find it in any of the cities including Zul.

>tfw you can finally do the dark elven lords quest

By can't find it do you mean you can't find the building period, or it doesn't have the quest?

Doesn't have the quest.
Maybe it's limited by realm or something or maybe I have to do Eric's Stronghold first.

Not bad.

Bummer. I don't know any details as I've never played a paladin.

Never 5get the snozz

Finally found a non destroyed library
Too bad the game is basically over after I finish reading these

Reassign your clothings' glyphs user. And it won't be over, it'll be comfy.

>she spawned hostile
please forgive me /rlg/, I had no choice

I am confused. I though she was a unique. I just killed her, she should be dead; she even left a corpse!

>apologizing for killing an elf

She is taking you on a ruse cruise.

you should apologize for not raping her fucking corpse afterwards or during that
have you forgotten what elves are for, user?!

Elves are for killing and eating, not for lewd.

I ate it instead.

>Read a Scrollf of Crafting to make a pair of nice Dragon Wings into an Ego item
>Misclick on an artifact
>The enchantment failed!

That's not so much cross training as it is a 1/2 or 1/3 XP penalty for multi-school spells.
Sure, training X helps with all partially-X spells, but those spells require 2-3 times more XP to begin with.

And here I thought welcome parties like this happen only in Depths.

It's already pretty comfy. But I feel like I need a friend to be less lonely.

>Lucy
>extended
wew. server?

>2 hellions

This is my most fun Zot welcome.
It was some time ago though.

Most people that cared are already in a clan.

Don't forget the tormentor and flayed ghost

That makes it even more !!FUN!!, but I have a reflexive reaction upon seeing hellions.
Why the fuck are they only tier-2 demons? They're one of the biggest threats.

Escape hatch, just walk there and go down.

Because they can't see invisible but can still explode your ass

I was hoping this would be simple but then that fucker had to show up.

That is the ugliest PCB I've seen that wasn't tiles.

That's mostly because it's scaled up 2x due to peculiarities with the screenshot program on my macbook. Also, it looks like evasion does proc on shit besides breath attacks.

CXC, but I won already.

Actually did nothing because monsters without hellfire immunity were standing next to me.

Thought about it, then I read ?fog and killed all of them instead, stairdanced only once.

Flayed ghost can't flay statue form.

So yeah, in the end it looked worse than it really was.

Impressive.

>hell castle
I feel like I should turn back right now. But I am curious to see how it looks like.

Thats from the doom mod right?

This was near a Gozag altar
Is that bastard doing it on purpose?

I think its from pk's rebalacing or something, I dont remember any doom mod. There was a bunch of demons and other scary stuff, I guess Ill come back in the late game to clear it.

>Try to get into Crawl
>Just makes me want to replay more ToME

Why do these faggots make their control schemes annoying on purpose? It isn't hard to understand, it's just annoying to throw your hand all over your desk and hit 6 buttons at a time just to cast a spell.

Yeah thats the doom mod... silly.

Subtle Casting
Evasion
Fleet of Foot
Cult of Personality

For a Demigod Athena High Mage Chaos Ordinary?

Yes, both the shop and the altar are part of a vault.

there was a pull to change the name of the mod to something else since... well its not exactly the correct name for the content the mod offers.

>ToME players

Subtle Casting is recommended in the pasta, can't speak from experience about it.

I mostly play Roguelikes because the abilities are fun since the style is so minimalistic and allows that kind of creativity. This is ToMEs main, and practically only selling point. I just don't understand why you need to intentionally fuck up your control scheme. Hell, even Elona lets you hotkey spells.

Press ~
Choose new (m)acro.
Press F1 then enter.
Enter za
Now pressing F1 makes you automatically cast the spell on a.
If you want it to automatically target the nearest dude, instead macro za\r
\r being the code for Enter
If you want to change which letters spells are on, press =s

Just because you are too dumb to read the controls, doesn't mean they don't exist. Enjoy your 1 button casting.

Subtle Casing is really good.
The other choice is pretty much free.
Personally I'd take Cult of Personality.

Can someone give me any Noob hints for The Shadow Of The Wyrm.

i really like what this game showed me in first 5 minutes. Has some depth into it.

>entered a graveyard
>killed few dogs and graverobbers
>put some points to sneak skill (dont know why)
>died by something red

overall not bad.

Subtle Casting I am going to get for sure. I'm just not sure if I want it now or at 40.

Well thanks user. I'll give it another try then.

>TOME expansions still aren't pirate friendly

How, fucking how. Torrent where?

just buy it you cheep fuck, or don't play tome

I fucking love money. They are my dollars fuck you.

>playing tome
It's pretty impressive how all paid roguelikes manage to be shit.

Are you serious? Did you even look?
Back where you came from, shill.

I did. I guess I'm pretty shit. Could you help me out?
