Only a ton of magic markers 21:50 can you make an oilskin hat? like from a cloth elven helm + grease and/or potion of oil? 21:50 The highest one is 67 charges, 2 away from guaranteeing its success 21:51 if you have magical breathing then i don't think the plane of water is that scary 21:51 Dingotron no 21:51 you're right 21:51 I'll just spend charges enchanting and nurse dancing 21:51 YANI.... 21:52 That would be way too overpowered 21:52 oilskin helms for everyone! 21:52 #puttheallinalhoonhat 21:52 You literally can't forge with cloth material anyway. 21:52 And oilskin helms can only be cloth. 21:52 the forging material rules have so many exceptions they may as well not exist 21:53 but yes, that is true 21:53 You can't even forge stone, bone or wood plate mail Dingotron2. Despite them and their components existing independently, and their metalic versions being forgable 21:53 oh dang it. now I get stone-to-flesh. might have helped before I had to take a pickaxe to my former steed to get the saddle and barding back. poor horsey. 21:59 [hdf-us] [evil] Splunge (Kni Hum Mal Cha) killed Saint Michael, on T:90234 (1 day, 2:20:43) 22:00 go Splunge! 22:05 -!- hackemslashem has joined #evilhack 22:09 [hdf-us] [evil] Loggers (Hea Trt Mal Neu), 662061 points, T:40043, choked on a nightmare corpse 22:09 -!- Loggers_VIII has joined #evilhack 22:09 I forgot I ate a shimmering dragon -_- 22:13 -!- bug_sniper has joined #evilhack 22:16 :/ 22:17 -!- Loggers_VIII has quit [Quit: Client closed] 22:18 Omg that sucks :( 22:22 Can you nurse dance with hand of Vecna? 22:22 yup 22:23 oh no, Loggers! 22:27 -!- Loggers_VIII has joined #evilhack 22:29 hmmm YANI - restore ability should fix legs 22:29 While we're at it, why not make restore ability cure sliming too? 22:29 oof 22:30 Slippery slope my friend 22:30 [hdf-us] [evil] Loggers (Hea Trt Mal Neu), 592 points, T:843, killed by a goblin, while sleeping 22:30 Once you deviate from stats 22:30 nocorrelation.jpg 22:30 I was gonna say the same thing lol 22:30 the legs at least make sense 22:30 I can see maybe the argument for repairing wounded legs, but you have to jump way harder than that for sliming to even be feasible. 22:31 How? They're both status conditions 22:31 One of them kills you. 22:31 and the other kills 22:31 your will to live 22:31 The other goes away after a few hundred turns at worst. 22:31 both being status conditions? what does that have to do with it 22:32 Venn diagram logic. 22:32 not being able to jump is a lack of ability (arguably) 22:32 also, wounded legs aren't a status condition 22:32 being slimed doesn't prevent you from anything 22:32 They are, they're just not remotely comparable to sliming. 22:32 You can also already cure it with a potion of speed and levitation counteracts the carrycap loss. 22:32 I think the argument is that "your legs are hurt; restore ability makes them better again, restores them to their former state" 22:32 And also full healing, I think? 22:32 and you can also cure sliming with any number of effects 22:32 even a scroll of fire 22:33 "any number of effects" 22:33 ...bruh what are you on about 22:33 [citation needed] 22:33 they're all fire-related, that's how you cure sliming 22:33 -!- Loggers_VIII has quit [Quit: Client closed] 22:33 -!- Loggers_VIII has joined #evilhack 22:33 (besides staff of aesculapius and prayer) 22:33 Stats should remain stats and status effects should remain status effects 22:33 I fail to see your point 22:33 Sure but you're making a complete non-argument towards that point 22:34 also, one of the effects of wounded legs is that it messes with your stats :B 22:34 I am making the argument of the slippery slope Umbire. I referenced it at the start 22:34 i think everyone is in agreement that restore ability is fine as is? 22:34 yay yes 22:34 100% 22:34 so let's move on 22:35 And I'm saying that's a slippery slope not remotely worth worrying about 22:35 -!- Loggers_VIII has quit [Client Quit] 22:37 Restore ability is fine as is imo but letting it cure wounded legs wouldn't lead anywhere near that sort of ridiculous ask and I'd rather not insult people's intelligence with that tenuous connection 22:37 I'd disagree with it but not especially strongly 22:39 Lmao 3 sessions of nurse dancing gave me over double my previous hp 22:39 Charges well spent 22:40 that's because you're on the eu server 22:40 healthcare charges in the US would definitely not be worth it 22:40 xD 22:42 I feel it's not intuitive that being able to walk and mount a steed properly is not an 'ability' you used to have, that intuitively could be restored with something called 'restore ability' 22:42 sorry too many negatives in that sentence 22:42 I mean you can 22:42 still walk with wounded legs 22:42 [hdf-us] [evil] Splunge (Kni Hum Mal Cha) wished for "blessed magic marker", on T:91351 (1 day, 3:04:16) 22:43 I meant to say, just because things are classified a certain way in the code, doesn't mean it makes intuitive sense from a player perspective 22:43 You just lose carrycap and can't mount steeds - if you're already riding you can remain on it 22:43 YANI: potions of restore ability stop you from playing more poorly than normal 22:43 Alright, alright, lay off. 22:44 in englishk, being disabled means not being able to use your body in a fully abled way. 22:44 We know what that means. 22:44 'restore ability' sounds like it should restore ability 22:44 vs 'restore stats' 22:45 [hdf-us] [evil] Splunge (Kni Hum Mal Cha) entered the Planes, on T:91380 (1 day, 3:06:32) 22:45 Then it's mostly an argument of semantics, which... whatever, NHIRL anyway, and more pertinently, your attributes are the primary thing determining your abilities to begin with. 22:45 it's totally semantics yes. naming things well is hard. 22:47 Main reason I don't disagree strongly is because it's really not that monumental an ask, so a little sketchy logic can be """excused""". 22:48 But ultimately it'd need a fair bit more before I would be fully onboard. 22:48 who knows when 'restore ability' was originally named. but then it just becomes surprising to the less-initiated player when the behavior doesn't quite match the semantics of the spell name. So it feels inconsistent. Or feels like the developers didn't quite 'think of everything' in this case. 22:49 -!- arahael has joined #evilhack 22:49 I don't think they're much obligated to be literal unless it makes for something interesting. 22:53 Hardly a game-breaking balance problem, just a minor UX/breaking-of-intuition corner case. 22:54 I already said it isn't a gigantic ask but then... there you go, it's not really much in general I feel. 22:58 [hdf-us] [evil] Splunge (Kni Hum Mal Cha) changed form for the first time, becoming a weredemon, on T:91957 (1 day, 3:20:12) 22:58 From an actual game design perspective, it would be a tiny player buff that may not be needed. OTOH could help to slightly extend what evilhack already does to better differentiate restore ability from unicorn horn. There was a goal to give restore ability more purpose, and not obviated by unicorn horn. 22:59 ...the unicorn horn nerfs were already implemented in base Evil. 23:00 There's not much more differentiation needed in that regard, if any. 23:01 The nurses are calling me again 23:01 To use all charges on them xd 23:02 [hdf-us] [evil] Splunge (Kni Hum Mal Cha) killed Pestilence, on T:91985 (1 day, 3:24:15) 23:02 [hdf-us] [evil] Splunge (Kni Hum Mal Cha) killed the White Horse, on T:91986 (1 day, 3:24:16) 23:03 I go watch Splunge ascend instead 23:04 [hdf-us] [evil] Splunge (Kni Hum Mal Cha), 9472860 points, T:92007, ascended https://www.hardfought.org/userdata/S/Splunge/evilhack/dumplog/1696789037.evil.html 23:04 gg 23:07 nice work @splunge ! 23:20 [hdf-us] [evil] terrapin (Hea Trt Mal Neu) completed Sokoban, acquiring an amulet of magic resistance, on T:21049 (5:31:52) 23:37 [hdf-us] [evil] Splunge (Con Dwa Mal Cha) killed Gollum, on T:1750 (0:12:21) 23:51 [hdf-us] [evil] Nightsorrow (Sam Hum Mal Law), 2708 points, T:5231, zombified by a hobbit zombie, while frozen by a monster's gaze 23:54 125 to 508 hp.
