Drink-IDing potions is usually a bad idea in any roguelike.

I mean, I do that shit all the time in Crawl; I'm aware every time that I do it that it's a potentially lethal choice.

Well usually drinking the potion itself doesn't kill you, it's the domino effect that does.

(As for other roguelikes: Angband, potion of detonation or potion of death. Horrible luck to get them early enough that ID is an issue, mind.)

I'm really enjoying this so far, it's a great combination of going back to the original Rogue with new design ideas. Looks good too.

Right now I'm mainly getting my ass kicked by Pink Jellies, I gather the correct strategy for them is to retreat into corridors to limit how many can hit you at once, I've never had a weapon other than the original dagger though and as such I don't think I'm dealing out enough damage for even that to work very well.

Tulpa your sig works really well in roguelike threads.

Can you damage turrets or are they just environmental hazards? I've been treating them as the latter, choosing the virtue of circumspection over that of experimentation.
