What's a Race/Background/Feature/etc. do you want to return?

I’d be intrigued to see deep dwarves return in some capacity, even if I wasn’t around yet when they were removed.

Not really a return, but Octopodes should be able to wear cloaks.

Kitties should wear hats

Edit: Maybe scarves too. That’d be cute

  1. Ash’ Tranfer knowledge

  2. Ash boosting all magic schools equally always

  3. Sif Muna rewarding exploration of magic with piety, rather than killing.
    (This one is a bit cheeky, because I don’t really think the piety-for-skill-training should come back. Simple exploration piety like Hep would be a great step forward already. And ideally I’d like to see something new.)

As a DD enjoyer I found DD quite unfun after the changes to weapon using monsters in 0.27. So if you want to get the real DD experience I suggest playing 0.26. Extra points for playing without a god that gives healing

Ash’s perma-see-through-walls
Also, the very old spell doklorohe’s tomb seemed interesting, though possible quite overpowered in the dcss of today. Though do to a lack of the dig spell…

The Crown of Eternal Torment. It was never in any full release, but I think it’s a really cool unrand that should be in the game.

Old okawaru gifts, current capstone are just nowhere near as much fun as the old style gifts.

I agree in terms of fun. The new mechanic makes Oka a little less broken powerful though which I guess is good. But you could go a whole game with nothing but garbage from Oka back in the day and it would still be fun because the next gift might be incredible. The capstone mechanic is one rush, which frequently disappoints.

I usually get the capstone in lair, and unless I’ve already found a lot of really good stuff, I almost always get something good. As an armored gargoyle with M&F, I’ll often get a demon whip of some caliber as one of the options, and the only way I can really find an earlier one of those is Amaemon or a scroll of acquirement, and the armor almost always gives some decent auxiliary slot option, as at that point your auxiliary slots are likely to be lackluster.
