Teleport is still not a completely safe action. You can be in LOS of something scary at your destination too.
Destruction/Genocide is safer, but now monsters can resist (which I like)
Teleport Level is safest, but you still lose on current dungeon loot.
I guess my ideal curves for escapes for different classes would be similar to this:
Basically I want fail rates to correspond to Int more strongly, so a character's fail rates arent completely dependent on Race/Class. I think Magic device skill should deal with damage/effect more than fail rates.
Dumb = 10int, Mid = 18/50, Smart = 18/200
Code:DumbWarrior|MidW|SmartW|DHybrid|MH|SH|DCaster|MC|SC ?Phase |10%|1% |0% |5% |1% |0% |3% |1% |0% ?Teleport|25%|10%|1% |12% |5% |0% |7% |2% |0% ?TLevel |50%|20%|5% |35% |10%|3% |25% |10%|1% ?Destruct|80%|40%|20% |50% |25%|15%|30% |15%|7% ?Genocide|50%|25%|10% |30% |10%|6% |20% |13%|4%
I do realize at this point it's probably way too difficult to change and balance, so I guess nevermind.Comment

Oh... Well that sucks. Combat Possessor right now. I think scrolls as a whole should be easier because it has 100% fail rate if you're blind or confused. That was the original balancing factor in Angband, and I think that making dumb warriors able to fail ?Genoicde or ?Destruction is great, having a smarter warrior unable to 0%fail ?teleport is kindof weird.Comment

Quick question about magic eaters: Does spell power or device power boost his casting damage?
Also, can you implement the three-key casting thing? It'd be nice to just press 'z' to instant access the list of rod categories. Failing a code fix, is there a way to create a macro that does this for myself? How would I map "press m then press z" to the z key?Comment

Hit '@' to bring up the macros and keymaps screen, make a new keymap, have the keymap be "mz", and trigger when you hit "z".
If you ever need to access the normal "z" command, you can do it by hitting "\" first; that temporarily turns off all keymaps.Comment

Did anyone notice that 'struggling to maintain possession of the current body' can have the PARALYSIS-like effect? I think this REALLY needs to be toned down.
Look at this:
> You struggle to maintain possession of your current body!
> *** LOW HITPOINT WARNING! ***
> The White knight misses you. <x2>
> The Camelot Knight magically summons Knights!
> The White knight hits you.
> You struggle to maintain possession of your current body!
> *** LOW HITPOINT WARNING! ***
> The White knight hits you.
> You struggle to maintain possession of your current body!
> *** LOW HITPOINT WARNING! ***
> The White knight misses you.
> The Novice paladin misses you.
> The Novice paladin hits you.
> You struggle to maintain possession of your current body!
> *** LOW HITPOINT WARNING! ***
> The White knight misses you.
> The White knight hits you.
> You stand your ground!
> You struggle to maintain possession of your current body!
> *** LOW HITPOINT WARNING! ***
> The White knight hits you.
> You struggle to maintain possession of your current body!
> *** LOW HITPOINT WARNING! ***
> The White knight hits you.
> You struggle to maintain possession of your current body!
> *** LOW HITPOINT WARNING! ***
> The White knight hits you.
> You struggle to maintain possession of your current body!
> What a noble sacrifice!
> Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye.
> Goodbye, Hugo$oul 76!
After my HP dropped to the RED category, in the 80s, it was essentially game over. I couldn't even land a hit afterwards.
Ok, I admit taking full-blame for encouraging the 'body ejection' mechanism since this has made the game way harder in horrid situations such as this.
On another note, Guinevere should be added in the game, and alongside Arthur Pendragon. Guinevere should be a menacing spellcaster with mana bolts like Sir Gawain as well as confusion/blindness. If Guinevere dies, Pendragon should become berserk, with increased spellcasting/attacksLast edited by HugoVirtuoso; September 2, 2013, 00:11.My best try at PosChengband 7.0.0's nightmare-mode on Angband.live:

Camelot Knight summons. White Knight attacks 1x. Paladin attacks 1x. White Knight attacks 2x. Yes, summoned monsters often gain the initiative.
I have no way of knowing how many white knights were about, but he was probably surrounded. Given he was fighting monsters 2x as fast as him, I see absolutely nothing even remotely odd about this situation!Comment

In my opinion, variants like PosChengband and Sil, my two absolute variants, are profoundly known for very harshly punishing players who get careless and take very high risks. But hey, I realize that this is actually good because it forces one to pay attention. i.e., THINK before you act.Last edited by HugoVirtuoso; September 2, 2013, 02:41.My best try at PosChengband 7.0.0's nightmare-mode on Angband.live:

MOST of them CAN cast teleport-to and can teleport WITH YOU especially the named ones. e.g., Sir Garwain. And absolutely not pleasant at all, they can be very mean, despite being "good" people.My best try at PosChengband 7.0.0's nightmare-mode on Angband.live:
