Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.
| Lets the user walk through the air as a raging, lightning-filled tempest. The user's melee attacks electrified and strike all adjacent foes. The user also flies, gains immunity to poison and miasma, and resists electricity. They can launch themselves as a lightning bolt, blasting through everything in their way. The damage and evasion granted by storm form are highly dependent on the user's skill with Shapeshifting. While transformed, any equipped weapons and armour are melded. |
A storm talisman is a talisman that changes you into Storm Form.
Useful Info
When eVoked, a storm talisman turns you into Storm Form, which lasts until you end the form. Entering or exiting a form takes 5 turns.
Storm Form has the following effects:
Combat Bonuses
- Innate AC: 12-15 AC, scales linearly with any Shapeshifting past the minimum of 23 skill. (+1 AC per 1.33 levels)
- Bonus EV: +20-27 EV, scales linearly with any Shapeshifting skill past the minimum of 23 skill. (+1.75 EV per level)
- Unarmed Combat: 24-30 base damage, with added electrocution brand and cleaving. Damage scales linearly past minimum skill. (+1.5 damage per level)
- Blinkbolt: Bolt-targeted ability that deals electric damage to everything in its path, then blinks you to the end. Has a cooldown.
Resistances
- Poison immunity
- rElec
- Innate flight.
- Non-living: Unbreathing, lacks blood, immune to sleep.
- Insubstantial: Immune to constriction / ensnarement, Sticky Flame, and petrification.
Restrictions
- Melded Gear: All armour, weapon and shield. (Can only wear jewellery)
- Suppresses many mutations. Species movement speed set to 1.0.
Storm Form has a minimum Shapeshifting skill of 23, below which you get an HP penalty, and the AC, EV, and UC bonuses scale down. Maximum skill is 27, which is the cap on Shapeshifting itself.
Strategy
Storm Form is the highest damage form in the game. Shapeshifting specialists can inflict immense damage per hit, much stronger than even an executioner's axe.
This form is surprisingly durable. You retain your natural EV, and gain bonuses to both EV and AC. Even though Dragon Form has 150% health, because it is giant, it loses EV. This fact helps when your only defensive skills are Fighting and Dodging.
Tips & Tricks
- Like other forms, Storm Form benefits greatly from support magic, such as Ozocubu's Armour and Manifold Assault.
