Sigmund hits you. You die... DUNGEON CRAWL STONE SOUP ITT

<< < (32/39) > >>

snalin:
Would it be possible, if you really wanted to break the point of the game, to save and quit every level, and make a backup of the save folder? Then, if you die, you could just copy back the save and play from the last time you saved, right?

SirJuggles:
Mua-ha-ha. You people finally talked me into downloading and trying this while I'm hanging out IM'ing people.

After a few terrible defeats, I just wasted an Orc mob+wizard, a few snakes, and the ghost of my previous best character, a summoner. I am growing fond of this Mountain Dwarf Paladin, especially with his +3 +3 Scimitar of Holy Wrath and Amulet of the Gourmand that he picked up on level 4  8-)

edit: I don't want to just be pointlessly bragging. Is there any actual use for Scrolls of Noise? I just end up dropping them once I identify them.

snalin:
Well, some fire spells burn the scrolls in your inventory, so having worthless scrolls as a buffer against the good scrolls being burned might be a good idea.

Yes, just ctrl+c the entire save folder and paste it into a folder outside of your Cave file. That's what I did for my Deus character when I decided he would be my crazy cheatin' character.

Well, the manual says scrolls are the only way to learn spellcasting if you didn't start with it, so in theory I guess you could stockpile scrolls of noise & scrolls of random uselessness until you have a whole mess of experience points laying around and bootstrap your way up to basic spellcasting. Personally, I've never really tried it.


P.S. Seeing this thread made me start up another new game, which led to my demon spawn character dying to the first armed kobold he ran into because the bloody thing had a Dagger of Holy Wrath. This kinda thing is exactly why I don't usually play melee characters.
