Question
I started a new game playing Crawl Stone Soup and have noticed that my weapons and armor get weaker over time.
My weapon started at +2/+2 and is now at +2/-4. My armor went from +1 to -1.
What is causing this?
Answer
The most likely cause is that you fought a jelly (a red capital J). Hitting a jelly can cause your weapon to degrade, while being attacked by a jelly can cause your armour to degrade. In both cases there is a message that displays, but that is easy to miss.
The best way to fight an early jelly is stones. They are always lying around the first levels and throwing them is effective, even if you don't have a sling. As the majority of the races are faster than a jelly, you can run away from them and pelt them from afar.
