What's the deal?
 

RePos 6.3 - competition lich character.

My SP seems to have maxed out at 337. INT is 18/197 and I can add more, but adding more doesn't increase my SP any. What's the deal?

Looking at tables.c, INT/WIS stop adding mana at 18/180... that seems pretty low to me, but it's that way in the nightlies too so it's not a Repos change. Min fail rate maxes at 18/200 and fail rate adjustment (not important for monsters atm) maxes at 220, so there's still value in adding to it, but it does seem strange that it stops giving mana so low.

Thanks for the info. I've never had a caster that has been this successful before. I just assumed that every point of INT up to 18/*** added more SP.

New version up. Just bugfixes and balancing though. Savefile compatible unless you're an Umber Hulk.. they lost their missile weapon slot. Innate elemental melee should now correctly do half physical damage, the quiver will now display, ice ogres have been made less weak. Other minor changes I think... need to start documenting my changes better. I was hoping to put this release off until 3.2.1 but now that the competition is (almost) over I might as well release it.

Hi,

I've tried the 0.6.4 version (using a savefile from 0.6.3) but I still can't see the contents of the quiver. Character is a lesser Balrog.

The K directive of Greater Basilisk seems bogus. Great variant! I'm enyoing playing a balrog right now.

It should be displaying all the quiver. Can you attach your savefile?
Good catch, and thanks :)

RePosBand 0.6.5 is up, with basilisks no longer having a nonsensical king and passwall being changed so that monsters will still try to hit you with spells while you're in the wall. You can be hit, too, if you're standing on a wall but there aren't any walls between you and the monster. This should keep passwall viable for retreating without also rendering you invulnerable to breath weapons etc.

Hi,

No need to post the savefile I think - the quiver works perfectly with 0.6.5.

Thanks for your work on this - great variant.

Disallow tunnelling unless there is an empty space next to you. Otherwise, where do you put the rubble?

Clearly it just automatically gets squelched. Unfortunately a bug prevents spoil from getting listed in the squelch settings menu so you can't unsquelch it.
