gives rumflump a nethack3 scroll of amnesia |
| 16:21 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: the potion of amnesia gets its price randomly assigned at the beginning of each game, choosing from existing potion prices. |
| 16:22 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Though that's hardly even terrible, compared to the existing EPIs wherein monsters have amnesia-causing non-reflectable gaze attacks, psi-range attacks, etc. |
| 16:23 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Not to mention the wand of anmesia, pretty sure THAT's already on the EPI list. |
| 16:32 |
< | FIQ | | > |
it's in slex |
| 16:33 |
< | FIQ | | > |
jonadab: if you would like slex to be less frustrating to play, I'd advise you not to give amy any ideas |
| 16:33 |
< | jonadab | | > |
FIQ: It's well past too late for that. |
| 16:36 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Also, EPI: if a monster zaps a wand of digging at you, it sometimes loosens the ceiling and drops several boulders on your head, or sometimes instead it creates a hole under your feet. |
| 16:37 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: needless to say, monsters should be especially fond of zapping wands of digging at you when you are standing in a narrow bottleneck or a maze. |
| 16:58 |
< | FIQ | | > |
jonadab: should it be theoretically possible for armor to have detonate/vorpal object properties for explosion/beheading prevention? |
| 17:01 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Oh, detonation _resistance_, and beheading/bisection _resistance_? |
| 17:01 |
< | FIQ | | > |
yes |
| 17:02 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Maybe, but only if it's A) quite rare and B) either not wishable, or only wishable in a highly-prized slot, like the main body-armor slot, so you have to forego DSM to get it. |

and this dang EotA keeps ignoring me, plus all the other frustrations |

my plan to deal with the issues of monsters looting the magic chest is simple |
| 11:15 |
< | FIQ | | > |
personal pocket dimensions |
| 11:16 |
< | aosdict | | > |
EPI: doppelgangers and Aleaxes can imitate you sufficiently well to loot your stuff out of the magic chest |
| 11:17 |
< | FIQ | | > |
Aleaxes don't really mirror you in nethack though |
| 11:17 |
< | FIQ | | > |
doppelgangers hm :P |
| 11:19 |
< | jonadab | | > |
FIQ: Ah, so each monster has their own magic chest contents? |
| 11:21 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Oooh, if a monster puts something into a magic chest, _you can't get it out_. |
| 11:21 |
< | jonadab | | > |
That has interesting implications. |
| 11:21 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: The nymph steals your Excalibur. Nymph puts your Excalibur into the magic chest." |
| 11:22 |
< | aosdict | | > |
so this would allow items to be lost forever if you kill the monster or can't convince it to take the item back out. |

Heh. |

< | jonadab | | > |
"Help, monsters are using all the items _against me_!" |
| 09:01 |
< | jonadab | | > |
For Brogue, this could be the central feature of an Evil Variant. But NetHack's designed around the notion that monsters will use objects against you. |
| 09:05 |
< | aosdict | | > |
that was always something I didn't understand about fiqhack item generation amounts |

aosdict: look at the pallet |
| 20:10 |
< | FIQ | | > |
any better ideas? :P |
| 20:12 |
< | jonadab | | > |
YASI: there could be altars to Elbereth, which would be green. |
| 20:13 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Sacrificing on them angers your own diety but makes writing Elbereth more effective :-) |

(and you really shouldn't) |
| 17:01 |
< | jonadab | | > |
No, I *know* how ais feels about *that* one. |
| 17:01 |
< | jonadab | | > |
if (x = y) is evil and must be stamped out. |
| 17:02 |
< | FIQ | | > |
ais agrees? |
| 17:03 |
< | jonadab | | > |
About that specific thing, if (x = y), yes. |

but I don't really like handling them inconsistently |
| 08:51 |
< | FIQ | | > |
I guess there is predecent in that you can't wish for wands of wishing |
| 08:51 |
< | FIQ | | > |
YASI: treat them as artiwishes |
| 08:52 |
< | FIQ | | > |
more seriously, I could see limiting it to only 1, or make them unwishable outright (like wishing for object properties in first place) |
| 08:52 |
< | shpingrlde | | > |
ha, you totally could *change it to an artifact* actually |

just kill a barrow wight, they're pushovers |
| 19:15 |
< | shpingrlde | | > |
also if each lawful has some other guaranteed first-sac-gift, excal will take more effort to acquire |
| 19:24 |
< | aosdict | | > |
EPI: buff barrow wights significantly. |
| 19:24 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Doesn't FIQHack give them spells? |
