This is already in stable 4.2.0. but I'm curious how 'monsters learn from their mistakes' actually work. Does the monster need to be intelligent to learn what type of damage doesn't hurt player or what?

The Tarrasque breathed zero-damage fire through Narya at least thrice so it definitely did not learn anything during the long fight.

Sphara--it is correct for the occasional immune breath because you might have changed your equipment. It should be rare though, more like 1/5 to 1/10 the normal rate. Tarrasque usually breathes fire 1 in 6 turns (1/3 of spells and 1/2 of turns casting.) Was this the case?

Never switched the equipment. Narya was wielded throughout the fight. I think it breathed cold twice through Eonwe too (ImmCold).

Edit: For all I know, unless there isn't any 'intelligence' factor, only reasonable thing that caused it to breath through immunity I can come up with, was because it was stunned by Explosion spell. Otherwise, the mechanic didn't work at least the way I expected.

Pete Mack February 21, 2020 13:47
But how many times did it breathe disenchantment? Presumably many more than 2 or 3. That would mean it *did* learn that you have immunity, but "checked" that you didn't take it off. And yes, stunning might have an effect too. Don't know about that.

Sphara February 21, 2020 13:56
Pete - It did use Disenchantment the most. I did hockeystick it quite many times before I allowed him to do the first breath. The first one was fire breath and the ratio of Disen - Fire - Cold was about 6 - 3 - 2.

The reason I posted was that I thought it would NEVER try breathing through immunity twice.

Code:
/* Not allowed to learn */
        if (!OPT(p, birth_ai_learn)) return;

        /* Too stupid to learn anything */
        if (monster_is_stupid(mon)) return;

        /* Not intelligent, only learn sometimes */
        if (!monster_is_smart(mon) && one_in_(2)) return;

        /* Analyze the knowledge; fail very rarely */
        if (one_in_(100))
                return;

Wobbly--does this mean you can take of Narya once the monster learns your immunity (and presumably doesn't hit you in melee with the same element)?
