Set 32 Week 3 : Wiglaf the mountain dwarf

A cantankerous dwarf wearing a stupid-looking hat. He eyes you sourly, as if deciding exactly how much offense he should take to the way you're staring at it.

The Species, Background, and God choices are all mandatory. You must be worshipping one of the gods listed above before entering Lair, Orcish Mines, the Vaults or Depths, unless this isn't possible in which case you must worship them as soon as you can. Don't use faded altars (except in challenges where you can choose any god), and don't do anything to lose your religion unless otherwise specified.

NOTE: Except for Beogh, Ignis, Jiyva and Lugonu, an altar for the other gods will ALWAYS show up by D:10.

Special Rule or Notes

from the ChangeLog:

  • Returning species: Since all species can become orcs, Hill Orcs swap out with Mountain Dwarves, with similar but less skewed apts and stats. New features:
    • They ignore (EDIT) half 3/4 of the spellcasting penalty heavy armour would inflict.
    • They can enchant randart equipment up to the base equipment's default enchantment maximum.

Cosplay conduct points

1. Weapon

Enchant a randart weapon (Random Artifact) to +9

2. Armour

Enchant a randart armour (Random Artifact) to at least +6 or a randart shield to at least +5

3. Helmet Slot

Wear a hat.

FYI, the crown, the mask and the hood of the assassin are all considered artefact DCSS hats.

Conducts are worth +5 points each, to a maximum of half your score from milestones, rounded down. (So if you achieve 4 milestones (20 points) you can earn up to 10 points from conduct bonuses.) Small mistakes in following conducts will usually be forgiven.

Bonus challenges

1. I like new shiny spells!

Learn at least 2 of the following spells and cast each one at least 10 times:

  • Hellfire Mortar
  • Fulsome Fusillade
  • Rimeblight
  • Gell's Gavotte
  • Maxwell's Portable Piledriver

If you do not have 2 of these spells in your game by the time you have 5 runes and visited 10 Ziggurat floors, you earn this bonus star.

2. All in!

Wear all artefacts...and win the game! Even your Amulet and Rings need to be artifacts...and by the way, good luck finding an artifact hat! ;-p

EDIT: it is possible to have a 2-handed weapon and no shield. (RoGGa: A mea culpa, I should have specified that a shield was required.)

NOTE: if you get mutated such that a slot is unavailable, you have to get un-mutated somehow before winning.

Bonus challenges are worth one star each, similar to banners in Crawl tournaments. Small mistakes will usually be forgiven.

Milestones

  • Reach XL3.
  • Enter Lair, Orc, or Depths.
  • Reach the bottom of D, Lair, or Orc.
  • Collect your first rune.

  • Win the game.

The main way to score points. +5 points each, and can be done in any order.
