Wha? Isn't the white lettering normal?


Okay, I found it.

Somewhat of a spoiler.

I believe you can get any state except polymorphed, life saved or searching as intrinsic due to an unintentional feature. This is because permanence is represented in the game by setting the state counter to 65535 ticks (roughly 32.8 hours). If you can boost your counter over this, when it drops back to 65535, the state is permanent and can only be removed by magical means, for instance eating grey unicorn flesh. I have gotten permanent teleport control in a real game twice by eating a horde of blink dogs.

You can get permanent haste from fountains. Also slow. Neither affects the game so much, as the danger system eventually starts to take the state into account when deciding what it is going to throw at you. Of course boss fights are a bit easier/harder.

Permanent invisibility, on the other hand, has big consequences. You can easily escape from many monsters, for instance golems and kaimikaze dwarves. Hit and run tactics become more effective. But you can no more do business in shops and the danger system creates much more dangerous monsters at you to balance the fact that they can't see you. So you not only can, but need to retreat more often. (Of course, only the generation of monsters without infravision or ESP is affected this way.)

No, that wasn't it. I'm talking true perma-state. Even if you play to 1000 days you'd still have it. Anybody else remember it?

I did that once, but with a different song. Didn't drive me mad, but then again, I dunno how bad Benny Hill is.

Speaking of permanent states, it's possible to get them by doing something... A DEV mentioned it last time they were active.

For example, if you have a hellova lotta wands of haste, and you got haste from a fountain, use up all the charges and that might be enough to get you perma-haste. Something like that.

What I really want are nuclear landmines. It'll come in bloody handy in GC6

That'll be interesting. Wooden mines. Makes it impossible for a crazy intelligent character to see where all the mines are with a single scroll

Man, I hate webs. Lobh-se is hard enough with her crazy health regeneration rates. Eh, I look forward to playing it in any case

That's excellent! Maybe the spambots will be kept away for once

Man, I wish I could try it out.

Unfortunately, I am unable to download anything, so it'll have to wait.

Oh God. Lobh-se makes webs? Why did you add that lamps?
