Bullet Dance adds your Triggerhappy rank to the number of shots per volley of your pistols.
Grammaton Cleric Beretta already adds Triggerhappy in two modes.
Do these stack?

Throwing a bunch of relics out here.
Trumpet of Jericho
Symbol: ?
Destroys all walls of the room you're in. On Maze levels it destroys all walls contiguous with a tile within 3 of you, out to a 21x21 square. On a Cavern level it destroys all walls within some radius of you. Cannot be used when tired, makes you tired.
Skullstaff
Symbol: ?
A staff with a skull on it. Using it tires you out, gibs all corpses you can see, and adds five to the Berserk counter for each corpse. Cannot be used when tired.
Massacre Staff
Symbol: ?
Tires you out and does 20 damage to everything on the level. Including you. Cannot be used when tired. Works like a "The Smell of a Massacre" lever except for the part where it affects you.
Decanter of Endless Water
Symbol: ?
Cannot be used when tired, tires you out, works like a "humid" lever in that every walkable tile of the level except open doors is turned to a water tile.
Wand of Digging
Symbol: ?
Turns the level walls brittle. Makes you tired, can't be used when tired.
Crystal Ball
Symbol: ?
Sets your energy to zero and makes you tired, can't be used when tired. Effectiveness depends on traits and how much you've used it before on this level.
First Use: Gain Intuition 1 until end of level (skip if you already have it)
Second Use: Gain benefits of a computer map (or one level of map with the map system I've seen proposed)
Third Use: Gain benefits of a tracking map
Each time it's used, reveals all enemies' present position and type at time of use (enemies move off as soon as you hit enter to get out of it after first and second use, after third you track them).

« on: February 06, 2012, 01:00 »I don't know if it would be OP, but I think Malicious Blades should make knife throws instant, or near-instant (i.e. Gun Kata shot after a dodge).I think it would be OP. Consider an MMB/Juggler build; you can instantly equip a combat knife to hand from your inventory because it's keyed to the number 1, and with your idea instantly, or nearly so, throw it. This would let you unload knives at a rate of something like 10/sec.

Bug Reports / Re: [0.9.9.5 Win7] BFG blast lingering on to the next level
« on: February 03, 2012, 03:23 »
It might be related to the thing where if you're killed by an arachnatron (for instance; I think anything sufficiently rapid-fire works, but I have more experience dying against Arachnatrons than anything else that does this), sometimes you can still hear (maybe also see?) it shooting briefly in the Mortem screen?

0.9.9.5 / [M|AoLT|98%|YAFW] Because I heard it wasn't popular
« on: January 30, 2012, 22:18 »
So, I'd heard people saying things about AoLT being an unpopular challenge and wanted to see how it worked for myself.
So, I hadn't played AoLT in a while, but I read stuff about it on the forums, suggestions people had to improve it and so on. I kept a melee weapon/ranged weapon pair the entire game past phobos 2 (my melee weapon progressed from fist, knife, chainsaw, chainsaw T, Longinus (I never did use the piercing blade I made), and my ranged weapon went pistol, shotgun, combat shotgun, tac shotgun, gatling gun, nuclear plasma rifle). The RNG taunted me by dropping not one but two firestorm mod packs on me, one in the armory and one later, and two tristar blasters (both after I'd stopped carrying ammo), not to mention a whole slew of common mods; if I weren't playing on AoLT and were doing a WK-based build (MSc, maybe), that would have been awesome. I ended up leaving both of the firestorms and both of the tristar blasters behind. I also made a whole bunch of assemblies and modded equipment I otherwise wouldn't have.
I can confirm that MVm is a solid build for AoLT, because you don't need to spend precious inventory slots on ammo or too much health, letting you reserve them for other things (I was leaving medkits I couldn't use behind on some levels). If I were to change the build, I'd probably go Fin3 instead of Bru4 if I were doing this over because Bru3, because with Longinus's average damage of 36, Bru4/Fin2 does 48 damage every 0.7s, while Bru3/Fin3 does 45 in 0.55, which is a significant increase in damage and I didn't need the accuracy.
Because of all the cool mods I was seeing, I decided I'd build vaguely in the direction of WK after I finished getting TaN, so I grabbed Finesse, and Juggler because these are the games it's made for, but right after I got Fin 2, Brute 4 opened up and I was getting close enough to the end that I couldn't count on new mods, so I took the little bit of extra damage.
I cleared the Lava Pits using my Nanofiber Phaseshift Armor and Phaseshift boots. Indestructable armors are a godsend when you're playing AoLT melee (I found the onyx armor and used it for a while, but switched it out once I finished my nanofiber phaseshift).
My two empty inventory slots at the end represent the nuclear BFG 9000 from the Mortuary, and the Lava Element.
Aside from the build thing, the other thing I'd do differently would be to get 100% kills. I'd do this by either nuking my plasma rifle and finishing JC with the BFG, or by remembering that the Longinus Spear has an alternate fire just for situations like this. Or both. That, and I might plan better to clear the wall. But the inventory management for that is hard.

Cybernetic Power Supply
Icon: !
Like a Power Battery, but 250 shots. Cursed. Doesn't destroy when it runs out. Might also give you a speed boost, or regenerate (if it's feeling really nice). Possibly make the regeneration a set bonus if you equip both it and the Cybernetic Armor
Streak SRM 6
Assembly: Missile Launcher + BBSF
Damage: (6d6)x6/126, radius 3
Accuracy: Autohit
Fire time: 2.0s
Reload time: 1.2s
Ammo: Rockets
Clip Size: 6
Alt reload: Full reload (standard reload reloads one rocket at a time)
Special: Shots after the first will target the original target instead of flying on the same path (if knocked back by previous shots). If the original target is killed, remaining rockets are revenant-targeted on its corpse/where it died (just shoots off in a straight line if not targeting a creature)

Partial invis could also decrease monster attack percentage. Maybe half the time when a monster would attack, it instead does something else. Melee attacks are exempted. If you want to make it distance dependent, the chance of not attacking could be based on distance (distance/8 is simple; at max sight it doesn't attack ever, at a distance of 2 it has a 25% chance to not see you)

Angel of Explosions
Things always seem to blow up around you. Fuel barrels, medical waste containers, the occasional ammo cache, even the coffee machine sprayed you then burst into flames once. Now that you're going into hell, things are blowing up around you even more. All blast radii are increased by 1, or by 2 if they were 3 or more before.
This applies to imps, cacos, B's, barrels, rockets, mancubi, revenants, viles, and everything else that does splash damage.
