  The Goatperson - Exploring character classes in Desktop Dungeons: Rewind #14

  “Who is the Goatperson? For the hungry, they are water. For the sick, they are a broken kettle. For the sad, they are a kick to the shin. For the poor, they are late stage capitalism. For the debtor, they are a well aimed blunt instrument to the knee.” {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43475627/b8858dec465752118a2b17961a542456fabf7737.png My time has come. Today is the day I write about… the Goatperson. The Goatperson was a sick joke for people who complained that the game was “not roguelike enough,” and a way to thank everyone who supported the game during development (we say thanks in strange ways.) And now I’m going to “explain” how to play this beautiful abomination of a class. Here’s a GIF showing what it feels like to play Goatperson: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43475627/8bcaa2b70dc13bc1ddb8037a92771ef64562e749.gif Abilities 🐐 Scapegoat - Randomly worships a new god per level, no conversion or desecration 🐐 Prototype - No restoration effects on level-up, gold instead of trophies 🐐 Herbivore - Eats food while exploring. Killing enemies yields more food So let’s sum it up: you can die of starvation, have no choice in which God you worship, and don’t heal when you level up. Great. Scapegoat is by far the strangest trait in the game. Starting a run, you’ll automatically be worshipping a God and their altar will be revealed on the map. You won’t get any piety for the initial worship, and will not gain any of the glyphs they'd usually give you. When you level up, your worship will be forcefully changed to another God. You’ll have 3 gods in total that will be switched between. Something worth keeping in mind is that Gods can give boons that will make other Gods ruin your run. If Dracul gives you Life Steal through Blood Hunger, you better pray that Glowing Guardian isn’t in your pool. Otherwise, well, uh… BG I guess. Prototype hampers you immensely, forcing you to reveal tiles or quaff potions to heal up. Bye bye, well timed level ups! To somewhat make up for this, your conversion bonus is ...

  The Transmuter - Exploring character classes in Desktop Dungeons: Rewind #13

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43475627/04d120fc2acdd6060f434e9dbf8c0b5fc7e8b7e1.png “Transmuters are members of the ancient and powerful Order of Change. Their mastery of inner force is a complete mystery to other magic users: they channel their power through glyphs, yet seem to do so without any techniques outlined in the Standard Magical Primer.” Greetings Administrator, and welcome back to another class post! Today we’ll be giving you the basics on how to play the Transmuter. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43475627/420cafaf792b00e97ffc3b48f9a2b7add9d3b4a0.gif Abilities 🌟 Dungeons Lore - Starts with a Lemmisi glyph 🌟 Inner Focus - Using glyphs gives free conversion points 🌟 Spirit Sword - Hitting the conversion threshold adds temporary damage based on max mana Before explaining the Transmuter’s abilities, let's lay some groundwork. Conversion is the ability of all adventurers to turn items and glyphs into power. This power depends on their Kin. When converted, an item will give you a number of Conversion Points specified in its description. Once your Conversion Points reach your conversion threshold, you’ll gain the bonus and start working towards the next threshold. Transmuters are the masters of conversion. Inner Focus provides you with conversion points equal to your mana spent whenever you cast a glyph, and Spirit Sword gives a massive spike in damage when you hit a conversion threshold! This makes Transmuters an excellent choice in long dungeons where you’re bound to cast plenty of glyphs and convert plenty of items. The base damage given by Spirit Sword is equal to your maximum mana. This means that finding sources of bonus damage through your Kin, items, or glyphs can go a long way in making you stronger. Much like the Sorcerer, you’ll have a very diverse damage profile, which can make finding fightable enemies a lot easier. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43475627/39b073d239ed7c128c4e4d17f97e91e065c3b703.gif Kin Choices 🌟 Human - Humans gain 10% bonus damage when they reach a conversion thre...
