Nutrition
With regard to this: "There should be enough food around for a player to have some leeway in backtracking a bit - returning to a stash, returning to Minetown, etc. But eventually, the player's available food should run out, and they should have to go deeper."
- Consider whether the relative quantity of monsters generated when a level is generated, versus later as you explore, is perhaps not balanced correctly. Currently, wandering around cleared levels you encounter almost as many monsters as exploring new territory (barring things like special rooms). Monsters that often have inventory and/or leave corpses. --jonadab
Regarding this: "Idea #9: monsters besides Famine who specifically destroy food or cause hunger."
- Consider locusts: monsters that A) will eat anything commestible and B) multiply when they do so. Bonus points if they get into containers and inventories. --jonadab
Gold
Regarding this: "Asmodeus and Baalzebub can also just camp on the downstairs until the player pays up"
- I really like this idea. --jonadab
Energy regeneration
- dtsund proposed, in his Class Overhaul writeup (which was intended to make roles more distinct from each other) that wisdom should be the major determining factor in energy regeneration, and should be about as difficult to exercise or increase as intelligence.
Ascension kit degeneracy
- dnethack adds a second property to several of the dragon scale colors, which may help them to compete a little better against silver and gray. For example, yellow provides acid resistance and petrification resistance.
- dtsund proposed, and Fourk will implement in 4.3.0.5, a system wherein dragon scale mail is not a distinct type of armor; rather, dragon scales (which are now worn in the cloak slot and provide no AC, only properties) can be enchanted onto the underlying body armor, whatever it might be, producing e.g. silver-scaled dwarven mithril, black-scaled crystal plate, or cetera. This reintroduces the pre-DSM tradeoffs between weight, AC, and spellcasting being hampered by metal.
