Beguiling: ability that forces a creature to become the caster's companion;
Siphon Vim: transfers health from a creature to the caster for several turns.

I got attacked by the puma and tried to fight back with Siphon Vim but quickly realized I'm not gonna win so I tried to beguile it and sure enough it worked.

But then it just kept losing health until it died :c

Been a while since I last played Qud but almost not a day goes by without me thinking I should play it again.

In roleplay mode though.

I don’t think I’d emotionally survive permadeath 20 hours into a run.

My longest save has 30 hours. Couple of deaths along the way. Nowhere near ready to cross to the eastern half of the map.

How anyone plays it as a classical roguelike is a mystery to me

For me even 3-6 hours needed for DCSS runs is too much. I can't imagine going for hours and hours in a permadeath game - especially a game as unfair as CoQ!
