Targetable enchantments?

[Jac]

I'm playing a HOEn of Beogh. My intention with this build was to sit
behind my phalanx of orc knights and cast buffs on them. However,
back there I am limited to invisibility and haste (which I can barely
cast). Instead, I am usually in the front casting hibernation and
confuse. I'm finding it hard to stay alive in the midgame. Would it
be too unbalancing to allow useful enchantments like Ozo's Armour,
Beserker Rage and Fire Brand to be applied to allies? I guess
Regeneration is out because allies don't use food. (Fire Brand
especially because my orcs with blades love making 20-headed hydras.)

Probably not, also these may be made as separate spells. Correct place
to discuss the improvements and bugs about dungeon crawl stone soup
are issue trackers of that project at sourceforge. There is even
feature request open with topic like that.

Devs have more urgent things to do since beoghite is relatively fine
combo as it is.

Fair enough - thanks for pointing this out. Enchantments augmenting
allies seems a pretty corner case. Though it was surprising to see
this raised by a Yred worshipper. Perhaps a better way of handling
this is an option to have enchantments default to self or targetting
interface in the ini file.
