Branches, Environment

  • New timed portal vault: the Desolation of Salt, appearing in Elf and Vaults.
    • Six new enemies, including swarms of fragile golems with supporting allies.
    • Open terrain layout with large, opaque clouds to use as cover.

  • Non-opaque clouds created by the player vanish instantly when out of LOS.
  • The Orb's translocation restrictions now apply throughout the Zot branch.

Character

  • Potions, scrolls and books can be used while still on the floor.
  • Resistances granted by rN (to e.g. Pain effects) now scale with rN, only reaching full immunity at rN+++ (instead of at rN+).
  • Monks can now choose a weapon to start with.
  • Corrosion slaying penalties now affect unarmed & auxiliary attacks.
  • Spriggans can wield any weapons that kobolds and halflings can.
  • Kobolds and halflings rebalanced toward & away from casting, respectively.
  • Hidden "stealth factors" for species and forms are gone.
  • Vampire blood level effects have been simplified and reworked.
  • Bat form can quaff potions and open doors.

  • Clarity provides immunity to sleep and fear.

Gods

  • New temple god: Uskayaw the Reveler.
    • Piety gained by dealing damage to enemies.
    • Piety decays extremely rapidly over time.
    • 1*: Stomp: deals damage to all adjacent enemies.
    • 2*: Line Pass: instantly travel through a line of enemies, confusing some.
    • Solo Time: on reaching 3*, briefly paralyse all visible enemies.
    • Pain Bond: on reaching 4*, all visible enemies begin sharing damage taken with each-other.
    • 5*: Grand Finale: blink into and instantly kill target monster.
  • New temple god: Hepliaklqana the Forgotten.
    • Grants a permanent customizeable ally, respawning on a delay after death. The ally automatically grows in strength as you level up.
    • Piety granted for exploration.
    • 0*: Recall: interlevel recall for your ally.
    • 2*: Remember Life: permanently make your ancestor a Hexer, Knight or Battlemage.

    • 4*: Idealise: heal your ancestor & temporarily increase their AC, damage and spellpower dramatically.
    • 5*: Transference drains enemies adjacent to the target.
  • Sif Muna changes:

  • Dithmenos's Shadow Step can no longer be used on allies or while immobile.
  • Fedhas appreciates all corpse decay, and rots all corpses when the player leaves a level. Toadstool generation is an ability, instead of a 'p' effect.
  • Qazlal's cloud immunity applies to all clouds, not just the player's.
  • Jiyva's jelly paralyse ability has been removed.
  • Many divine abilities have had their hunger costs removed or increased.
  • Most gods that like killing are less particular about what you kill.
  • Piety decay over time has been streamlined and adjusted for most gods.
