As long as you have ESP, you can do it without earthquake or destruction. Dig a small antisummoning closet offset from the entrance, open the vault, and tactically entice the monsters out and into your killing zone. It takes patience and careful play, but it can be done. In fact, I try never to use destruct except for the Morgoth fight or as a last ditch effort to avoid death.

Commit ea1c9dc:
Old update_mon():
New update_mon():Code:flags_set(lore->flags, RF_SIZE, RF_EMPTY_MIND, RF_WEIRD_MIND, RF_SMART, RF_STUPID, FLAG_END);
with RFT_DET = INVISIBLE, COLD_BLOOD, EMPTY_MIND, WEIRD_MINDCode:create_mon_flag_mask(mask, RFT_DET, RFT_MAX);
Clearly not the same flags...
Looking at the code, INVISIBLE and COLD_BLOOD are already processed, and SMART/STUPID never are. So you lose the "intelligently" part of lore spell descriptions.PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment

Clairvoyance vs Enlightenement: first one has a "power" of 23, second one has a "power" of 22. But Enlightenment is the best of the two (full detect vs fuzzy detect)...PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment

Not sure if this is a bug or not: Are *Slay* weapons supposed to give powers now? Used to only grant a random resist, I thought. I got ESP from a *slay* animal recently.Comment

Depends on the *Slay*; some give random powers or resists, others are more hardcoded (e.g. *Slay* Troll always gives regen). At least, that's what I dimly remember; I haven't paid close attention in awhile.Comment

The *Slay* weapons used to give a standard resist or power (*Slay Animal* gave slow digestion, *Slay Demon* gave resist fire, etc). Following some discussion, this was changed to them all giving a random resist or power. If anyone can remember the nature of that discussion, I'd be interested to hear - I can confirm the change happened on the 10th of March 2016...One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Perhaps more of a "would be nice" than a bug: Examining ammo without an appropriate launcher gives no damage info. Would like to see thrown damage.Comment

Not on most recent, but I don't remember seeing it brought up earlier.
Taking a screenshot using the game's screenshot generator crashed the game.
Also, the Balrog of Moria got stuck behind some of the lava it created for some reason.Cloning Nightwalkers for XP
I should probably take note of this.Originally posted by Pete MackComment
