Tomb card

Version 0.15: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The card depicts a royal crypt, its entrance sealed by a heavy stone slab.

The Tomb card surrounds the player with a single layer of temporary rock walls. This layer may not be complete, and the duration is calculated by: 10 + power/20 + 1d(power/4) – 1.

• Minimum duration (0 evocations, plain deck, without Nemelex): 10 turns.
• Maximum duration (27 evocations, legendary deck, full piety with Nemelex): 62 + 1d268 turns.

Propagation of effects

The entombment effect iterates and checks each adjacent tile surrounding the player. If the following are found, further effects to that tile do not occur:

• If a 'one-in-power' chance occurs, or;
• If the tile contains a monster, any kind of wall, a door, a portal entrance, an altar, deep water, etc.

If the above are not found, the check continues:

• Any clouds and mechanical traps in the tile are destroyed.
• The terrain type of the tile is changed to an ordinary rock wall.
• Any items on the floor will be displaced to the square where you are standing.

Chances of success

Assuming that the player is not a worshipper of Nemelex Xobeh, for 8 and 9 wall tiles.
