* Rebalance crossbowsNicholas Feinberg2014-07-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Again as a result of the ranged weapons rebalance, crossbows needed to change. The analogy here is long blades' to bows' m&f; better return on skill investment & a higher power cap, but rarer. Hand crossbows are added as a starting type, "something like an armour-piercing dagger"; crossbows are upgraded to arbalests (a little worse than a glaive), and a new rare triple crossbow type is added on the top end (a little worse than a bardiche, though with a lower skill cost.) Please note that the triple crossbow historically existed & is extremely verisimilitudinous. Hellfire is now an arbalest, and Sniper is now a triple crossbow (well, a "heavy crossbow", since it has mindelay of 27 instead of 22, and since I didn't want to have to change the sprite). All crossbows have a mindelay of at least 1.0; this is an attempt to differentiate them. Possibly something more ambitious will be attempted in 1.6, but this is a first step.
* Rebalance slingsNicholas Feinberg2014-07-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slings numbers (along with the other launchers') needed to be rebalanced after the recent ranged combat rework. The approach here is essentially analogous to the staves skill; good return for xp investment, but a limited power cap, especially if you don't find the rare upgrade weapon type. Slings renamed to 'hunting slings' and upgraded from 2->5 base damage (and 12 base delay); new, rare "greatsling" added, with 8 base damage and 14 base delay. Punk upgraded to the latter type. Thanks to Lasty for providing a baseline math suggestion!
* Nudge halfling apts slightly.Shmuale Mark2014-05-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | The goal is to make them a bit more distinguished from kobolds, by focusing a bit more on defenses (especially armour more) and lowering the stealth apt fairly significantly. If Armour +1 is too good it could be lowered, though.
* Melt away lava orcs.Steve Melenchuk2014-05-141-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you strip away the fundamentally broken tension mechanic, you're left with a species that is essentially "Hill Orcs WITH FIRE". No effort has come forward with code to fix either aspect of them despite the length of time they've been around in trunk, and the code is littered with a very large number of special cases in their presence. Current lava orcs should be able to finish their games fine, but new starts are disallowed. There are a couple of bits I've left present but which will have no function for the moment, mostly related to interactions with lava (as there are a couple of species proposals floating around that benefit from having those interactions).
* Rename "bow" to "shortbow"Chris Oelmueller2014-05-051-1/+1
| | | | For a clear distinction of "bows" the skill, and from "longbow" the weapon.
* Unban Wn -> Fe (Sequell).elliptic2014-04-161-2/+0
| | | | You could still select FeWn if you selected Fe first.
* Do not recommend polearm starts for OgChris Oelmueller2014-03-061-1/+0
| | | | Recommending M&F and restricting everything else feels more sensible.
* Restrict starting with bow for spriggans.elliptic2014-03-061-0/+1
| | | | Since they can't upgrade to longbow.
* Give Fi/Gl more starting weapon upgrades than just trident.elliptic2014-03-061-29/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | As discussed in IRC, these options don't seem that unreasonable nowadays: cutlass, flail, war axe, trident, long sword, quarterstaff (Gl only). This should make trident a less dominant option and make Fi/Gl more competitive with other backgrounds. Starting weapon recommendations are the same as with the lower tier weapons. At some point someone should go and make sure these recommendations actually make sense...
* Remove djinn.wheals2014-02-241-23/+1
| | | | | | | Djinn games can't be started (hopefully including using the rcfile), and djinn code should be removed on save-compat bump. Also, schedule a few SE things to be removed.
* New species/background recommendations.elliptic2014-02-141-493/+243
| | | | | | | | | This provides a list of 6-8 (9 for DE) recommended backgrounds for each species, and also a list of 6-7 species for each background. The lists were developed in a group effort on IRC involving many players. We tried to balance two main goals when coming up with this list: picking strong combos and providing some variety of choices.
* Allow job and species recommendations to be independent.Steve Melenchuk2014-02-141-2/+527
| | | | | | | | | | That is, CK -> Tr can be recommended where Tr -> CK might not be. This functionality is inspired by an impending rewrite of the recommendation list where it is necessary. I may have gotten some of the species recommendations wrong, but they're probably going to all be rewritten shortly anyway.

| * Clean up checks for disabled species/jobs when starting a new game.elliptic2013-10-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was possible to get around these checks in various ways. Hopefully this stops all of those ways and will make it easier to maintain this code in the future, since only is_species_valid_choice and is_job_valid_choice need to be modified now.
| * Evokable Jump attack abilitygammafunk2013-10-011-1/+0

| * Unify NG thrown weapon handling; give small throwers tomahawks.Steve Melenchuk2013-09-251-24/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | That is, small species that would otherwise get javelins for a throwing weapon now get tomahawks instead of darts; this impacts spriggan, halfling, and kobold hunters, arcane markspeople, and gladiators. Enchanters and warpers still get darts. Where the base class would get five javelins, small throwers get eight tomahawks (~= 10/6 * 5, the 10 and 6 being the damage of javelins and tomahawks respectively), and where the base class would get six javelins, the small thrower gets ten. Gladiators get six (they used to get 15 darts, whereas the base amount was 20, so this keeps it as 3/4 the base amount).

* / | Grotesk Stat Damage and add-on effectsBrendan Hickey2013-05-111-0/+2
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Grotesks risk stat loss upon petrification expiry. At most you can lose 4 points, distributed at random. Per point risk is equal to (damage reduction of the hardest hit) / (max hp). Preserve abilities reduces the total risk to 3 points. Tentatively do not decrease Grotesk speed while petrifying. Decrease mv to compensate. Exiting petrification confers exhausted and exhaustion blocks petrify self. At the moment it's possible to use `petrify self` followed immediately by `berserk`, while this is quite the party, I just haven't gotten to blocking berserk while petrification is under way. Discourage Grotesks from being Air Elementalists and Berserkers.
