Intrinsic Teleport control
C.P. Chandrasekar
My Ring Of Teleport Control is a moonstone ring. Therefore, iam not able
to "eat" it in any form.
So, how else can i get intrinsic teleport control without having to
wear the ring and risk it getting lost by a lightning blast by any
source?
Thanks,
CP Chandrasekar

Intrinsic teleport control: eat a tengu or two. Or the Wizard, though
if you're human that'll give you aggravate monster. An alternative
source of extrinsic teleport control is the Master Key of Thievery.
But the best solution is probably to acquire reflection, so that the
lightning bolt bounces off rather than exploding your rings and wands.

Eat tengu corpses until you "feel in control of yourself". Eat the
Wizard of Yendor (not advisable unless you're an elf). Be a wizard
and reach experience level 17.

But reflection doesn't protect you against losing your rings and wands
to chest traps. This is even nastier in Slash'Em than vanilla,
because of the new magical effects of exploding wands of polymorph and
cancellation.

Is the number, of tengu corpses to eat, a randomly generated number too?

Each tengu corpse give you a chance[0] to get teleport control. So the
number of tengu corpses is random but isn't generated.
0) Don't know what the chance is, but it's a constant chance.

Only in the sense that each tengu corpse has a certain chance of
giving you TC. It's a geometric random number, but it's not generated
anywhere.

Effectivly so. Actually, there's a random chance of gaining it every time
you eat a Tengu. But since the RNG is a "black box", it doesn't effect YOU
whether it's determined at the start or not. Unless your save scumming.

Oh, don't remind me. Brought a Drow down to the Castle, carrying several
wands, including (and I *didn't know this* a wand of cancellation.)
Wand of lightning, no reflection.
"The ring of <foo> explodes" "The wand of <foo> explodes!" Repeat about
ten times.
Wearing GDSM, so it doesn't hurt...and the yummy black dragon corpse I'd
eaten kept the *three* exploding wands of death from killing me, though
they cleared the area around me like *nothing* else.
Until the explosions stop and I realize...wasn't Stormbringer blessed
and +3 before?
Wands that survived the explosion? Gone. Armour enchantments? Gone. Ring
of conflict that saved my butt in the BigRoom...and the Quest levels?
Gone.
And as if it couldn't get any worse, my god was pissed at me, as I
learned further into the castle when I tried to pray, to wring the last
benefits out of Lolth before I journeyed into Gehennom...and died on the
spot as the shimmering light failed to appear. Thanks, Lolth.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

For monster corpses that can grant teleport control, the chance is
mlevel+1 in 12, where mlevel is the monster's level. As a tengu has
mlevel of 6, the chance would be better than even (about 58%), except
that the intrinsic to grant is chosen randomly from those the corpse
has to offer (including in this case teleportation).
Here's a table giving you the odds.
Intrinsic mlevel+1 in
--------- -----------
Resist poison 15*
Teleport 10
Telep. Cont. 12
Telepathy automatic
other 15
* 1 in 4 for killer bees and scorpions.
Sascha's site has a spoiler called 32eat.txt which has more
information (but says mlevel instead of mlevel+1).
