Changes to Dungeon Crawl Chili

As of August 9 @ 12:00am Eastern time

MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW!

Implemented already:

Branch and Floor Related

• D:1 is mostly a forested semi-open floor layout and has Jessica almost guaranteed.
• D:2 has 8 different floor layouts with a castle, and Medusa is guaranteed.
• D:3 is BCadren's sewer with Oskar almost guaranteed. The DCSS Sewer branch has been removed.
• D:4 is a catacomb with Menkaure almost guaranteed. The DCSS Ossuary has been removed.
• D:6 has a hot & cold theme with 4 central vaults.
• Lair:1 has a central zoo/nature preserve with 3 different central vaults.
• The number of floors for each branch (including Dungeon) was reduced by 1 floor, except for Orcish Mines, the Elven Halls and Crypt.
• To compensate for the loss of XP from 1 less floor in most branches and Dungeon, Uniques have a much higher spawn rate throughout the game.

New or modified Uniques:

• Jessica now drops a book 50% of time with the Blink spell being included 50% of the time.
• Medusa, a naga with the Petrify spell, will always show up on D:2 close to the granite statues. Medusa on her own isn't dangerous but when she dies the statues change into adders and one water moccasin emerges from the fountain.
• Oskar the Grump is a new D:3 unique that throws garbage bags at you.
• Rusk is a Death Yak who can trample and with a posse of Yaks that it can drive into a frenzy. It shows up in the Lair.
• Monkey King is ...well... the King of the howler monkeys, and he can mark you.
• Katinboo is a Felid with curare claws that can summon an ogre and a stubborn mule.
• Verity the Stone Dragon has the Stone Arrow spell and shows up in the Lair.
• Octavia the Heretic is an Octopode of Gozag that can show up in Depths.
• Regal, an octopode with a cape, can show up in Depths, Crypt or Zot.

Suggestions to be considered:

  Idea for a new mutation:
  "You have large clown feet"
  "You have clown-like feet"
  "You have clown shoes instead of feet"
  -(--) stealth, 3(4 5) base damage, kick trigger chance aux attack with 5% (10 15) chance to unresistably confuse the target for 1 (2 3) turns. 3rd level prohibits footwear, works only without boots like the kick
  rogga - add the throw pie from killer klowns?
