Picked up my second ascension today, this time with 4 runes. On my Orb run up, I'm like "Ooh, a Pan Lord! Whew, I was afraid they'd sic more fire orbs on me!"īut.

Orbs of Fire: even worse than advertised. I was in the rare instance of having a surplus of enchant scrolls and *nothing to use them on*, because everything I was using was either already a +2 accessory or a minor randart. I did *not* regret the deity switch before the Crypt. And you've gifted me every type of weapon other than the ones I have skills for, and you can't even make it a painful twang of regret because they all still don't measure up to Rolandtr. No, Oka, I am not grateful for yet another 10 darts of frost. I credit probably 50% of the run to a lucky pickup of a +4/+11 morningstar of speed (which my brother and I dubbed "Rolandtr") I nabbed somewhere before the Lair, which Oka spent the entire game pathetically failing to compete with. (Gargoyle Fighter of Okawaru -> Shining One). There are also now more Lugonu altars in the Abyss, and more piety is awarded for conversions in the Abyss.After three years (I think) and countless shattered bodies, I was just messing around with a new copy of v0.13 and its new race (Gargoyle). To encourage adventurers to abandon their current god, Lugonu helpfully banishes some hostile monsters whenever other gods act with their wrath.

Banishment is available at 2* piety (instead of 3*) and mutates foes that resist getting banished. Additionally you can now find randart orbs, scarves, and magical staves!įinally, Lugonu has been mutated into a new form. We’ve added 6 new unrands and made changes to 11 existing ones. Plasma Beam (L6 Fire/Air): Fires a bolt of lightning and another bolt of fire, both at the most distant foe.Electrocutes everything adjacent to the caster, everything adjacent to those creatures, etc, etc, in a chain. Launches the caster at a nearby foe and launches a crackling melee attack, phasing through creatures en route. Creates an explosive cloud on the caster’s tile, usable as a land mine or tricky tool. Rots away the caster’s flesh to create a cloud of deadly miasma on their tile. Cigotuvi’s Dreadful Rot (L2 Necro/Air/Pois).Redirects the caster’s momentum for a damaging attack that doesn’t require line of fire, but locks the caster in place for some turns after a hit (and cannot be recast until this expires). Kiss of Death (L1 Conj/Necro): does high draining damage to an adjacent enemy, at the cost of significant max HP drain to the caster.

Armataurs are large, scaly mammals that wear bardings, but instead of rolling and curling, they have innate rampage and a long tongue mutation that doubles potion effects and slows down scroll reading.Ī grand total of 7 new spells have been added! Two we’ve already mentioned for Reaver, with two more being likewise new designs and three replacing existing spells: The new Armataur species replaces Palentongas, who have rolled peacefully off into the sunset. They also start with the Hailstorm spell, which has been moved down to level 3 yet can sometimes miss. These warrior-mages start with two new powerful yet situational spells: Kiss of Death and Momentum Strike. We are pleased to announce the release of Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup 0.30 “The Reavers Return”!ĭCSS 0.30 features the return of the legendary Reaver background.
