The COST field denotes the base price of each item. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1). Gems comprise 8% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 18% in containers, 0% on the Rogue level, and 10% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype, except for those marked with an asterisk (valuable gems); the figures so marked instead represent the first level on which the gems can occur (this limitation only applying to the main dungeon, and these restrictions are only reviewed when creating a new level). Permissible valuable gems have roughly equal probabilities of being generated among themselves, always set such that the total for the category as a whole is 171. Loadstones are always generated cursed (except potentially in containers), all others are uncursed. Rocks appear in piles of 6 to 11. Valuable gems, worthless gems, touchstones, and flint stones have a 1/6 chance of appearing in a pile of 2. The ENGR field denotes how the gem appears when you attempt to engrave with it (see below). COLORS specifies the possible appearance of the gem. If more than one color is possible, then one will be randomly chosen for the appearance. Identifying stones ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are five different types of non-gem stones, and four of them are indistinguishably gray. rock Rocks are immediately identified on examination, and pose little difficulty or challenge to the adventurer. They make a cheap and usually plentiful source of ammunition, should you lack or wish to conserve other ranged attacks. ("Good ol' rock. Nothing beats that." -- Bart Simpson) touchstone Touchstones are most readily distinguished by their effect when rubbed with something hard, such as an iron weapon; they will make a "scritch, scritch" sound. Their primary use is rubbing them with other gems and stones (and, once identified, this is all they _can_ be used for); if blessed (or also if uncursed, for Archeologists and gnomes), the object rubbed with will be identified. The complete table of results that distinguish them is as follows: GRAY STONE GEM GLASS HARD RING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~ good touchstone ID ID scritch streak bad touchstone streak scratch scritch streak other gray stone cscratch cscratch scratch cscratch where "streak" denotes coloured streaks, "scratch" uncoloured scratch marks, "cscratch" coloured scratch marks, and "scritch" the sound "scritch scritch". Other types of object may produce coloured streaks or scratches, but will not provide any further useful information. Note that being rubbed on a cursed touchstone may shatter gems or rocks (but not other gray stones). luckstone Luckstones can be identified by their effect (see "Luck" below) with the help of enlightenment, by their valuation by shopkeepers, or by the presence of the guaranteed luckstone at the top of a gems cache in the Gnome King's Wine Cellar version of the bottom level of the Gnomish Mines. (Or, indeed, by the Heart of Ahriman being one). loadstone As noted above, loadstones are almost always generated cursed; furthermore, they autocurse on being dropped or otherwise leaving the main inventory, and a cursed loadstone cannot be let go of. It is therefore best to identify them while they lie on the ground; kicking them will usually elicit a "Thump!" rather than movement across the floor, but being extremely strong (at least 22 strength; 18/** is not sufficient) while wearing kicking boots or being a Samurai or Monk may allow some movement (watch how far it goes). flint stone These exist primarily to make it hard to identify touchstones, loadstones and luckstones, and are best identified by elimination of the other three. They have few special properties, but do inflict somewhat more damage than other stones or gems when used as sling ammunition. Identifying gems ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Quoted in part from the spoiler "gems" by Bryan Butler.) "I shall, with cultured taste, Distinguish gems from paste..." -- Reginald Bunthorne, in Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience" There are now nine methods to identify gems: engraving, throwing at unicorns, killing glass golems, spell of stone to flesh, collecting a large number, scrolls or spells of identify, a touchstone, dipping an amethyst in potions of booze, and finding pre-placed gems. 1. Engraving with gems If a gem is listed as "hard" above, then you will see the following message when you attempt to (E)ngrave with the gem: "You engrave in the with the ." where is the appearance of the gem. All hard gems are valuable, although some colors may have more than one possible identity. If the gem is "soft," you will see this message: "You write in the dust with the ." Soft gems may be valuable or worthless, so you will need an additional method to identify these gems. In either case, you can abort the engraving process by pressing Escape. If you choose to write a message, it will take one turn per character to engrave. Not all types of floor can be engraved upon. You may choose to #name a gem once you know its hardness (e.g., "soft blue"). 2. Throwing gems at unicorns Throwing a gem to a non-tame unicorn can change your luck in one of several ways, depending on whether the gem is worthless or valuable, whether you are the same alignment as the unicorn (white = lawful, gray = neutral, and black = chaotic), and whether the gem type is already identified or named. VALUE ALIGN KNOWN ADVERB LUCK CHANGE ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ glass other unknown graciously 0 glass other named (see below*) 0 glass other identified (see below*) 0 glass same unknown graciously 0 glass same named (see below*) 0 glass same identified (see below*) 0 gem other unknown hesitatingly -1 to +1 gem other named hesitatingly -1 to +1 gem other identified hesitatingly -3 to +3 gem same unknown gratefully +1 gem same named gratefully +2 gem same identified gratefully +5 In most cases, the message sequence is as follows: "The neighs! The catches the ." "The accepts your gift." where the color of the unicorn and the color of the gem are appropriate for the situation. comes from the table above, except where the column has a *, in which case there is a different message sequence: "The neighs!" "The catches the ." "The is not interested in your junk." after which the unicorn will promptly drop the "gem". 3. Killing glass golems When a glass golem is destroyed, it leaves behind 2 to 8 worthless pieces of glass (each of which can be any of the colours), and never gems. 4. Spell of stone to flesh The spell of stone to flesh will turn gemstones into meatballs, but leave worthless pieces of glass intact; #name a gem 'valuable' or similar before zapping the spell at it (and rename it afterwards should it be proven untrue), since it won't be around to #name after. 5. Collecting a large number of gems If you wait long enough, you'll accumulate a large number of gems. Since the probabilities of getting worthless pieces of glass are so much higher than getting true gems, you'll acquire them much faster than other gems. So, if you just wait long enough, and look at all of the gems of a certain color that you have, more often than not the gem of which you have the most is the worthless piece of glass. This is a bit risky, and usually takes much more time than other methods. 6. Scrolls and spells of identify You can always use a scroll or spell of identify to determine whether a gem is valuable. You will then recognize all gems of that same type, although you can lose this knowledge from a scroll of amnesia or (master) mind flayer attack. Shopkeepers will buy identified gems based on their full price; this is a good way to get money. 7. Rubbing on a touchstone Being rubbed on a blessed touchstone (or also uncursed for Archeologists, who start with one, and gnomes) will immediately identify any gem, as detailed under "touchstones" above. 8. Dipping amethysts into potions of booze When you dip an amethyst into a potion(s) of booze, the potion will turn into fruit juice ("a-methyst" means not intoxicated). You can use this very special case to identify this type of soft violet gems. 9. Pre-placed gems Certain levels are guaranteed to be generated with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and amethysts in well-defined positions. Two versions of the bottom level of the Gnomish Mines (the Wine Cellar version and the Mimic of the Mines version) contain concealed chambers with these four types of gems and a guaranteed luckstone, together with assorted other * to confuse identification; the third version's are randomly scattered across the level. The four corner rooms of Fort Ludios (if it is reachable in your game) each contain one of these four types of valuable gems. Other levels may also be generated with piles of gems, but their type is not guaranteed, so these levels are not helpful in determining the identity of gems. Luck ~~~~ Luck is included here because of luckstones. Your luck affects many aspects of the game (too many to mention here), and is actually the sum of two components. Base luck changes with events in the game, and may slowly return to a "baseline" level. Bonus luck, on the other hand, is determined by what kind of luckstone (and certain artifacts) you are carrying. Only a rough idea of your luck is given in the enlightenment list; the meaning of the messages is as follows: TOTAL LUCK MESSAGE ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <= -10 extremely unlucky -9 to -5 very unlucky -4 to -1 unlucky 0 luck is zero (debug mode only) 1 to 4 lucky 5 to 9 very lucky >= 10 extremely lucky Your bonus luck -- and whether your base luck will return to its baseline level -- is controlled by luckstones and certain Quest Artifacts. The effect of these "luckitems" depends on the number in your main inventory that are blessed, uncursed, and cursed (see table below). Note that you can't do any better than one blessed luckitem, so you might as well keep any others in a bag (where they have no effect) as spares in case your main one is cursed. NUMBER OF LUCKITEMS BAD LUCK GOOD LUCK BONUS LUCK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ None Times out Times out 0 (no message) More cursed than blessed No timeout Times out Equal cursed and blessed No timeout No timeout More blessed than cursed Times out No timeout More cursed than non-cursed -3 "reduced luck" Equal cursed and non-cursed +3 "extra luck" More non-cursed than cursed +3 "extra luck" When you are enlightened about your luck, you are also told if you have bonus luck and if good/bad luck will not time out. Base luck is adjusted by each of the events described below. It cannot be reduced below -10 or increased above +10 beyond the baseline. In addition, every 600 turns (or 300 if you have the Amulet of Yendor or have angered your god), your luck will increase by one if it is less than your baseline luck and bad luck times out, and your luck will decrease by one if your luck is greater than your baseline luck and good luck times out. Your baseline luck is +1 if you started or restored the game during a full moon, -1 if started/restored on Friday the 13th, and 0 if neither or both. BASE ADJ EVENT ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ +1 Starting or restoring a game during a full moon. 0 Starting or restoring a game during a new moon. -1 Starting or restoring a game on Friday the 13th. NOTE: The above three are reversed before saving. -2 Break a mirror. -n Breaking n eggs laid by you (at worst -5). +1 Sitting on a throne (sometimes). 0 Throwing a worthless gem at a unicorn. -3 to +3 Throwing valuable gem at cross-aligned unicorn. +1 Throwing unknown valuable gem at co-aligned unicorn. +2 Throwing named valuable gem at co-aligned unicorn. +5 Throwing identified valuable gem at co-aligned unicorn. -1 Hitting a blind floating eye (1 in 500 chance). -1 Jumping in Sokoban. -1 Breaking a boulder in Sokoban. -1 Casting stone-to-flesh on a Sokoban boulder. -1 Polymorphing a Sokoban boulder. -1 Reading a scroll of earth in Sokoban. -1 Being pulled by a thrown iron ball in Sokoban. -1 Hurtling through the air in Sokoban due to Newton's 3rd Law. -1 Walking (as a giant) or squeezing past a Sokoban boulder. -1 Killing a tame or peaceful (sometimes) monster. -2 Killing a peaceful human, and you are not chaotic. -5 Killing a co-aligned unicorn. -5 to -2 Cannibalism (eating your own species), unless a Caveman or orc. Set to 0 Praying with negative base luck (sometimes: "golden glow" boon). -3 Praying on wrong altar. -3 Praying before your prayer timeout has expired. -5 A sacrifice (not your own race) on Moloch's altars in Gehennom. -3 Being converted by trying to convert an altar. -1 Otherwise unsuccessful at converting altar. +1 Successfully converting an altar. -1 Desecrating another god's altar. +2 Sacrificing your own race on your own chaotic altar. -2 Sacrificing your own race on Moloch's altar. -5 Sacrificing your own race, you aren't chaotic. -1 Sacrificing an unidentified fake Amulet of Yendor. -3 Sacrificing an identified fake Amulet of Yendor. +1 Sacrificing, slightly mollifying your god, negative luck. Set to 0 Sacrificing, mollifying your god, negative luck. +1 Sacrificing, having a hopeful feeling, negative luck. Set to 0 Sacrificing, reconciling, negative luck. 0 to +5 Sacrificing, god happy.

Edited for 3.4.3 by Dylan O'Donnell . NetHack is aware of the time in the real world (or, at least, what it's told about it by your system clock). Certain particular times have effects on gameplay. Moon phases and dates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The date is only checked when the game is started or restored; if you keep playing without saving, you'll continue to see the effects even after the relevant period has passed (or not see the effects even though it has been reached). NetHack divides the month into eight phases of three or four days each: thus the full and new moon will be reported for a rather longer time than your calendar might depict. Full moon: - you have a chance of not being able to tame dogs at night (but you will still make them peaceful and you may try again). - your dog won't whine, yip, bark, or growl, but will always howl when you chat at it, at night (likewise werecreatures). - your baseline luck is increased by one. - werecreatures are usually in their wereform, especially at night. New moon: - there is NO effect on your baseline luck. - if you are hit by a cockatrice's or chickatrice's special hissing attack, and you are NOT carrying a lizard corpse in your main inventory, you will always start turning to stone. Normally, there is only a 1/10 chance. Friday the 13th: - your baseline luck is decreased by one. Note that prayers will be rejected while you have negative luck, so until you manage to redress this, dangerous situations will be that much more dangerous. If Friday 13th happens to be a full moon, the -1 and +1 to baseline luck will cancel out. See gems-343.txt for more discussion of how luck is calculated. Time ~~~~ Night (22:00 - 05:59): - your chance of changing into a werecreature when you are a lycanthrope is 1/60 instead of 1/80 per move. - you have a chance of not being able to tame dogs when the moon is full (but you will still make them peaceful and you may try again). - gremlins can only steal intrinsics at night. - werecreatures can summon more easily. - your dog won't whine, yip, bark, or growl, but will always howl when you chat at it, when it is full moon. - werecreatures are more likely to be in their wereform, particularly when it is full moon. Midnight (0:00 - 0:59): - undead do twice as much damage; - you get a different message when entering a graveyard ("Run away! Run away!" instead of "You have an uncanny feeling..."). nethack-spoilers-3.4.3+20110109.orig/armr-343.txt0000644000175000017500000004246211430345753021114 0ustar cjwatsoncjwatsonarmr-343.txt Last edited 2006-08-26 for NetHack 3.4.3 Armour, its erosion and enchantment, and magic cancellation in NetHack 3.4 Compiled for 3.2.2 by Kevin Hugo.

Alternative Japanese names for items are given in parentheses (). The COST field denotes the base price of each item. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1). Armor comprises 10% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 0% in containers, 12% on the Rogue level, and 20% in hell. PR is the relative probability of each subtype; the suffix specifies the chance of blessed/cursed: c Roughly 90% cursed, 9% uncursed, 1% blessed otherwise 13.18% cursed, 78.18% uncursed, 8.64% blessed Initial enchantment depends on whether the item was blessed or cursed, and is exponentially distributed. Armor is never generated erodeproof except for: splint mail at the start of the game for a Samurai, or on the Samurai Quest; as equipment for certain monsters; and sometimes in Rogue level bones piles. Dragon armor is sometimes randomly generated for player-monsters on the Astral Plane, but is otherwise never randomly generated. The base amount that your armor class is reduced (disregarding enchantment or damage) is shown in the AC field. The material of each piece of armor, described by M, affects whether the item can be damaged. In addition, metallic armor may increase your spell failure rate (see spl1-343.txt), and iron helmets protect from falling rock traps. The materials are as follows: M DESCRIPTION ERODES? HINDERS SPELLCASTING? ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ B Bronze or copper Corrodes Yes C Cloth Burns/Rots No D Dragon hide No No G Glass No No I Iron Rusts/Corrodes Yes L Leather Burns/Rots No M Mithril No Yes S Silver No Yes W Wood Burns/Rots No (All shields hinder spellcasting to an extent based on their size, regardless of their material; helms of brilliance do not, despite being metal.) Some armors have EFFECTS. The number of hash signs (#) in this column describes the degree of magic cancellation (see below). Other effects are also possible: Acd Gives acid resistance Align Changes your alignment, removes protection, and auto-curses. Clair Wizards get clairvoyance and +1 charisma, others block clairvoyance and get -1 charisma. Cold Gives cold resistance. Dex Adds armor's enchantment to your dexterity. Disint Gives disintegration resistance. Displ Gives displacement. Elec Gives electric shock resistance. ESP Gives telepathy. Fire Gives fire resistance. Fumble You will occasionally fumble. Int+Wis Adds armor's enchantment to your intelligence and wisdom. Invis Gives invisibility. Jump Gives jumping at will. The special restrictions for Knights do not apply while this item is worn. In the figures below, you (@) can jump to the places marked 'X': Knights without boots Anyone with boots ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ X X.X XXXXX X...X XXXXX ..@.. XXX@XXX X...X XXXXX X.X XXXXX X Kick Kicking does additional damage, and grants martial arts bonuses. Lev Causes levitation. Does NOT prevent your being drowned by monsters. Magic Gives magic resistance. Does NOT affect magic cancellation. Poison Gives poison resistance. Prot An armor with good AC adjustment and magic cancellation. The protection intrinsic it confers doesn't have any effect beyond this. Reflect Gives reflection. Shops If not covered by body armor or cloak, shopkeepers buy and sell at the same rate as inexperienced (level < 15) Tourists: buy at 1/3 of and sell at 4/3 of the normal price. Sleep Gives sleep resistance. Speed Makes you very fast, the same as a potion of speed or spell of haste self. This is better than a wand of speed or eating a quantum mechanic. Spell Spellcasting is more likely to succeed, and reduces the penalty for metallic armour. Stlth Gives stealth. Str Increases your strength to 25. Stupid Your intelligence and wisdom are fixed at 6; auto-curses; shopkeepers buy and sell at the inexperienced Tourist rate. Vis Overrides invisibility so you are again visible. Water Protects metal body armor from rusting/corroding and prevents grabbing attacks. If cursed, only 2/3 chance of being effective. WWalk Allows you to walk on water or lava. Does NOT prevent your being drowned by monsters, or the heat of lava destroying non-fireproof boots. Finally, some types of armor have a different APPEARANCE when unidentified. Those listed with an asterisk (*) are randomized within their armor category. Boots with the appearance "snow boots" make ice act like normal terrain (but the Fumble armor property still happens at its normal rate). Gloves and boots with the appearance "riding gloves" and "riding boots" give a (non-cumulative) bonus to the chance of successfully saddling a steed. Helmets with the appearance "visored helmet" provide defence against the blinding attack of ravens and the spitting attack of cobras. Armor erosion and enchantment ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "enchant.lim" by Peter Snelling and Boudewijn Waijers.) Your armor class is reduced by the base amount shown above. However, if armor is damaged, that amount of reduction is lowered by the greatest degree of erosion (damaged = 1, very damaged = 2, and thoroughly damaged = 3), but that will not lower the AC reduction beyond zero. The armor's material determines what types of attacks can cause damage (see above). There are several ways to prevent erosion. Samurai, Angels, lawful demons, player-monsters, and Roguelike bones piles may be generated with erodeproof armor. Specify "erodeproof","rustproof", "corrodeproof", "fireproof", or "rotproof" when wishing for an armor (any of these will do, and will be ignored if not applicable). You can temporarily prevent rust and corrosion damage by (a)pplying grease to your armor from a can of grease. An item can also be permanently erodeproofed by reading a non-cursed scroll of enchant armor while confused (also removes damage) or a cursed scroll of destroy armor while confused (does not remove damage). Blessed armour is less likely to become damaged (to an extent dependent on your luck). Your AC is then further reduced by the enchantment (e.g., +1) of the armor. The enchantment may be changed by reading scrolls of enchant armor while wearing the armor. One exterior piece of worn armor is semi-randomly selected, so you should remove or cover armor you don't want enchanted. A blessed scroll may add several enchantments, an uncursed scroll adds one enchantment, and a cursed scroll removes one enchantment. Other effects are possible -- notably, dragon scales can be converted to dragon scale mail -- please refer to the spoiler "scrl-343.txt". The enchantment of armor may also be affected by wands or spells of cancellation, spell of drain life if not currently in inventory, or by a disenchanter's special attack. If armor is enchanted above +3 (+5 for cornuthaums if you are a Wizard or for elven armor), then there is a chance of it being destroyed if it is enchanted further. Thus, the maximum safe enchantment is +5 (+7). This is obtained by reading uncursed or blessed scrolls until +3 (+5) is reached, and then reading a blessed scroll. If by chance this results in +4 (+6), you could bring the enchantment back down to +3 (+5) -- by reading a cursed scroll of enchant armor -- before trying again. Magic cancellation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "protect", by Peter Snelling, Boudewijn Waijers, and Michal Pawlak.) Magic cancellation affects the chance of success of the following special melee attacks: fire, cold, electricity, sleep, poison, paralysis, level drain, lycanthropy, teleport, intrinsic speed stealing (shades and skeletons), energy drain, slime, disenchanting, and "sticking to" ("You cannot escape from the mimic!" -- but not grab-attacks by, for example, owlbears or krakens). Note that it does NOT affect the success probability of ray attacks, nor does it help against "defensive attacks" (like a floating eye's paralysis). It does help protect monsters wearing armour with magic cancellation against these attacks by other monsters or by a polymorphed player. The chances of any one of the above special attacks succeeding are calculated in the following way: - The attack must first hit (i.e. pass your AC). You take the associated physical damage (if any) if the hit is successful and you are not resistant to that type of attack. - Some of the attacks succeed only sometimes anyway: 1/3 Drain level and paralysis 1/4 Lycanthropy, steal speed, and drain energy 1/5 Sleep 1/8 Poison - The attack must finally pass the cancellation test. The probability of this depends on the greatest cancellation factor (the number of #s above) among all your armor: None 150/150 (100%) # 101/150 (~67%) ## 52/150 (~35%) ### 3/150 (2%) Monster cancelled 0/150 (0%) If all the above tests have been passed, then you suffer the effect of the special attack. For example: if you are wearing a gray dragon scale mail, and are attacked by a vampire, then 1/3 of his successful bites will end in you losing a level. If you however wear a lowly orcish cloak over your armour (MC=2), the probability will immediately drop to about 1/9 (1/3 * 52/150) and an oilskin cloak will reduce the probability to below 1%. Note that the magical cancellation is different from intrinsic resistances for fire/cold/electricity attacks. If you are hit by a fire attack while fire resistant you get no physical damage, but there's still a chance of losing your scrolls/spellbooks/potions. If you are protected from a fire attack by cancellation, the attack fails and your equipment is safe. Incidentally, if you wondered about the similarity between the name of this property ("magic cancellation") and the name of a certain wand and spell -- it is no accident. Zapping the attacker with the wand/spell of cancellation makes the last test always fail and you will never suffer from special attacks by this creature. Do NOT confuse this property with magic resistance, which is something entirely different; see the spoiler drgn-343.txt.

Venom is generated only by spitting monsters and cannot be picked up. The COST field denotes the base price of each item. WGT specifies the weight. If the item can be randomly generated, then PROB is the relative probability of the item within that category. All of these items are generated uncursed. SYM is the object symbol. Damage to small and large monsters is the DAMAGE field. Statues do 1 to 6 damage depending on their weight. An additional +d(x*4) of damage is added to iron balls for each x times the ball has been made heavier (cursed scrolls of punishment count double), up to a total damage of 25. If an object can be eaten, its nutrition value is NUTR. Iron balls start out at a weight and nutrition of 480; each time you are further punished, any ball you are chained to has these increased by 160 (320 in the case of a cursed scroll of punishment). Finding spellbooks in statues ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted in part from the spoiler "statues" by Bryan Butler and Boudewijn Waijers.) Randomly created statues may contain one random spellbook. The chance of a spellbook in a statue depends upon the dungeon level on which the statue was created (if you are visiting a level for the first time while carrying the Amulet, then the depth of the Sanctum will be used instead): Level 1-3 4-5 6-7 8-9 10-11 12-13 20-21 30-31 n*2-(n*2)+1 Prob 0 1/12 2/13 3/14 4/15 5/16 9/20 14/25 (n-1)/(n+10) Statues of tiny monsters never contain spellbooks. Note that the Oracle is located somewhere between levels 5 and 9, so the average chance on that level that a statue contains a spellbook is about (1/12 + 2*2/13 + 2*3/14) / 5 = (1790/2184) / 5 = 16.4%. Since there are always eight centaur statues on that level, the chance of finding no spellbook there is about 26%. The chance of finding just one is about 35%, of two about 24%, of three about 11%. The chances of finding more rapidly approach zero. Note that the player-monster statues (other than Perseus) on the Medusa level will always be empty; the seven or eight monster statues may contain the appropriate monster's starting inventory. Perseus' statue has a 50% chance of containing a blessed +2 scimitar and a 50% chance of containing a sack. If the version of the level is the one with the central island, there is also a 25% chance of +0 levitation boots and 75% chance of a cursed +0 shield of reflection; on the version with a titan, these two chances are reversed. Statues created by stoning a monster contain only the items in the monster's inventory. You can break a statue with a pick axe, dwarvish mattock, wand of striking, or spell of force bolt. Breaking or animating historic statues (the centaur statues of Delphi, the statue of Perseus, the gnome king statue in the Grotto Town version of Minetown, or petrified unique monsters) carries a -1 alignment penalty for Archeologists. What to do with iron chains ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iron chains are the least useful items in the game since they perform no function as individual objects, have no value to sell to shopkeepers, aren't heavy enough to be a decent weapon, and will always polypile into another chain. Here are several somewhat trivial uses for these objects: * Throw or kick them as missiles. * Food for rock moles (a pet or polyself). * Leave them in the path of hostile metallivores as a distraction. * Polypile enough of them to make another iron golem. Turn it into your pet or polymorph it into a monster worthy of sacrificing. * Polypile enough of them to get another iron golem. Tame it and watch it get killed by a rust monster. Get an amusing message. * Use them to mark the vibrating square. * Carry them in your main inventory to lower the chance that something "good" will be cursed/stolen. * Leave a bones file that will annoy others (using ASCII): "Darn, that's not an altar."

On any given system, only one bones file can be waiting at any time for each distinct level. For this purpose, special levels are considered distinct from normal ones; for example, an Oracle level at DL 6 can leave bones despite the prior presence of a stored bones file for a regular Dungeons level at that depth, and can be loaded in at a different depth if that's where the Oracle happens to be located in the new game. Leaving bones files ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some levels are ineligible to be saved as bones under any circumstances, and should you die on these levels you will never leave a bones file: Dungeons of Doom levels 1-3* Medusa's Island The Castle Gnomish Mines level 1 (maybe)** Mines' End Sokoban (all levels) Quest home and goal levels Fort Ludios Wizard's Tower top and bottom levels Fake Wizard's Tower with portal Vibrating Square level Moloch's Sanctum Vlad's Tower top and bottom levels Endgame (all levels) Any level with a dungeon branch * This is a consequence of the formula given below ** If at DL3, as a consequence of the formula given below This means that the following levels are eligible to leave bones and have bones files loaded for them (provided they don't contain the entrance to another dungeon branch): Dungeons of Doom (normal) DL 4+ Oracle Big Room Rogue Level Gnomish Mines (normal) DL 4+* Minetown Quest locate and filler levels Gehennom (normal) Valley of the Dead Asmodeus' Lair Juiblex' Swamp Baalzebub's Lair Orcus-town Wizard's Tower middle level Fake Wizard's Tower without portal Vlad's Tower middle level * Stored bones for Mines level 1 may be loaded at DL3, but not left at that depth. If you die on a level that is eligible to leave bones and for which there is not currently a bones file on the system, the chance of one being created is dependent on the depth of that level: 1-(1/(1+(DL/4))) (note that this, combined with NetHack's use of integer arithmetic, means that no level above DL 4 will ever leave bones). The only other factor is that you will not leave bones if you were swallowed or engulfed when you died; "Nothing else. Not how you died, not what level you were, not what's in your inventory, not whether it was loaded as bones, not any intrinsics or god status or nearby monster." (from a Usenet article). When bones are saved, you and your possessions are saved along with them, along with the level layout, objects, and monsters. There are, however, certain modifications made: You leave a corpse, under most circumstances. If you were polymorphed and unchanging, it will be that of your monster form (if that can leave corpses); otherwise, it will be that of your race. No corpse will be left if you are disintegrated, burned to death, die while unchanging and polymorphed into a monster that does not leave corpses, or arise from the dead as a different monster as detailed below. If you are stoned, you will instead leave a statue containing your possessions. If you leave a corpse, a grave is created (with the tombstone bearing your character's name and manner of death) if the location is one where a grave can occur (a non-trapped "floor of a room" square of open space). You become a ghost, under most circumstances. If you died by sliming, you instead arise from the dead as a green slime. If you were killed by any W, you arise from the dead as a wraith; by any M, as a mummy of your race; by any V and you are human, as a vampire; by a ghoul, as a ghoul. In each case, the monster you arise as will be carrying your possessions. If you are stoned, no ghost is created. Items that were in your character's main inventory each have an 80% chance of becoming cursed, if they weren't already. Items that were inside containers are unaffected, whether the container is cursed or not. Some monsters will never be saved in bones: the Wizard of Yendor, your Quest Nemesis and Leader, Vlad the Impaler, and Medusa. Loading bones files ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you first arrive at a level for which bones are eligible to be loaded and for which a stored bones file exists on the system, there is a flat 1/3 chance that that file will be loaded. The monsters on the level will have their peaceful status adjusted to suit the character arriving there (for example, just because the dwarves and gnomes on a Mines level were peaceful towards the dwarvish character that died there, doesn't mean they'll be peaceful towards your orc who's found those bones). In particular, this means that the previous character's pets will often be found hostile. Monsters in the bones file that are extinct or genocided in the new game will be removed. Artifacts in the bones file that exist or have existed in the new game will be converted to an ordinary non-artifact object of their type, as will the Quest Artifact for the new character's role. The four Unique Items will become normal items: the Amulet of Yendor a cursed cheap plastic imitation, the Bell of Opening a cursed bell, the Book of the Dead a cursed blank spellbook, and the Candelabrum of Invocation a number of cursed partly-used wax candles corresponding to the number of candles (of any type) as had been in the Candelabrum (at least one). Tins of unique monsters will become empty. Bones compatibility ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generally, bones files created by different versions of NetHack, or builds on different platforms or with different compile options, will not be compatible with each other. Bones created by a sufficiently similar build of the same version on a sufficiently similar platform may be compatible enough to be loaded; you can move them into place manually, or use a bones exchange service such as Hearse (http://hearse.krollmark.com/).

Quaffing from fountains ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any randomly-generated fountain will have a 1/7 chance of being "magic", or "blessed"; there is no way to tell if a given fountain is magic or not. Quaffing from a magic fountain, non-negative Luck: 3/10: Your hunger is reduced slightly. "The cool draught refreshes you." 7/10: Your wisdom is exercised, and all your attributes are restored to their maximum (same effect as a blessed potion of restore ability). One attribute is increased by 1 (uncursed potion of gain ability effect); if your Luck is 4 or higher, this last effect will increase all your attributes by 1 (blessed potion effect). After this effect, the fountain is no longer magical. "Wow! This makes you feel great!" "A wisp of vapor escapes the fountain..." Quaffing from a non-magic fountain, or magic with negative Luck: 9/30: Your hunger is reduced slightly. (Same as above.) "The cool draught refreshes you." 9/30: No effect. "This tepid water is tasteless." 1/30: You see your attributes and exercise your wisdom (as with a wand or uncursed potion of enlightenment). "You feel self-knowledgeable..." "The feeling subsides..." 1/30: You vomit and your hunger is increased. "The water is foul! You gag and vomit." 1/30: If you are poison resistant, you lose d4 HP; otherwise, you lose d10 HP and d4+2 STR and your constitution is abused. "The water is contaminated!" "Perhaps it is runoff from the nearby farm." (if poison resistant) 1/30: d5+1 water moccasins are created. "An endless stream of snakes pour forth!" (unblind) "You hear something hissing!" (blind) "The fountain bubbles furiously for a moment, then calms." (moccasins genocided) 1/30: A water demon is summoned. It has a 80+DL/100 chance of being hostile (100% if you have the Amulet); if not hostile, he'll grant one wish and then vanish. "You unleash a water demon!" (unblind) "You feel the presence of evil." (blind) "Grateful for his release, he grants you a wish!" (peaceful) "The fountain bubbles furiously for a moment, then calms." (summoning failed) 1/30: A water nymph is summoned. "You attract a water nymph!" (unblind) "You hear a seductive voice." (blind) "A large bubble rises to the surface and pops." (unblind, water nymphs genocided or extinct) "You hear a loud pop." (blind, water nymphs genocided or extinct) 1/30: Each item in your inventory has 1/5 chance of being cursed outright; your hunger is increased and your constitution is abused. "This water's no good!" 1/30: You gain see invisible and your wisdom is exercised. "You see an image of someone stalking you. But it disappears." (unblind) "You feel transparent." (blind, invisible) "You feel very self-conscious. Then it passes." (blind, not invisible) 1/30: You briefly see monsters on that level and exercise your wisdom. "You sense the presence of monsters." If no monsters on the level (other than you), no visible effect. "You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes." (beginner not hallucinating) "You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes." (beginner hallucinating) "You feel threatened." (not hallucinating) "You get the heebie jeebies." (hallucinating) 1/30: You find a random valuable gem or piece of worthless glass and your wisdom is exercised. If you have already acquired gems or gold from this fountain, a nymph is summoned instead (as above). "You spot a gem in the sparkling waters!" (unblind) "You feel a gem here!" (blind) 1/30: Monsters on the level flee you for a while. "This water gives you bad breath!" 1/30: A number of pools may be created in your vicinity. (Never two orthogonally adjacent, never on your square, the more likely the closer to you.) "Water gushes forth from the overflowing fountain!" (pool created) "Your thirst is quenched." (no pools created) Finally, the fountain has a 1/3 chance of drying up (except in Minetown, where you'll always get one warning). Dipping items in fountains ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From art1-343.txt: If you #dip a single ordinary long sword in a fountain, are at least experience level 5, and Excalibur doesn't already exist in your game, then there is a 1/6 chance of something special happening to your long sword. If you are lawful, the long sword is converted into the blessed, rustless, uncorroded, damageproof Excalibur and you exercise your wisdom. If you are neutral or chaotic, your long sword is cursed, loses its rustproofing, may lose an enchantment, and you abuse your wisdom. The fountain then disappears; this will anger the Minetown Watch whether you've been warned or not, if that's where you happen to be. In any other case, the dipping is handled normally. First, the object gets wet and does the appropriate things (scrolls and spellbooks blank, potions dilute, iron objects rust, lit objects go out, grease washes off). Then special effects can happen (only 50% chance if wetting object already caused an effect): 18/30: No special effect. "A strange tingling runs up your arm." (1/18 chance) "You feel a sudden chill." (1/18 chance) No message (16/18 chance) 4/30: The dipped item is uncursed if cursed. "The water glows for a moment." (uncursed, unblind) "A feeling of loss comes over you." (item not cursed) 1/30: The dipped item is cursed outright. No message. 1/30: d5+1 water moccasins are created. "An endless stream of snakes pour forth!" (unblind) "You hear something hissing!" (blind) "The fountain bubbles furiously for a moment, then calms." (moccasins genocided) 1/30: A water demon is summoned. It has a 80+DL/100 chance of being hostile (100% if you have the Amulet); if not hostile, he'll grant one wish and then vanish. "You unleash a water demon!" (unblind) "You feel the presence of evil." (blind) "Grateful for his release, he grants you a wish!" (peaceful) "The fountain bubbles furiously for a moment, then calms." (summoning failed) 1/30: A water nymph is summoned. "You attract a water nymph!" (unblind) "You hear a seductive voice." (blind) "A large bubble rises to the surface and pops." (unblind, water nymphs genocided or extinct) "You hear a loud pop." (blind, water nymphs genocided or extinct) 1/30: A number of pools may be created in your vicinity. (Never two orthogonally adjacent, never on your square, the more likely the closer to you.) "Water gushes forth from the overflowing fountain!" (pool created) "Water sprays all over you." (no pools created) 1/30: You find a random valuable gem or piece of worthless glass and your wisdom is exercised. If you have already acquired a gem or gold from this fountain, pools may be created instead (as above). "You spot a gem in the sparkling waters!" (unblind) "You feel a gem here!" (blind) 1/30 You lose some gold and your wisdom is abused. The amount you lose depends on the amount (GP) you have, as follows: GP <= 10 : 0 zorkmids GP < 100 : GP/10 zorkmids GP <= 10000 : d(GP)/10 zorkmids GP > 10000 : d(10000)/10 zorkmids Gems and gold can now be found in this fountain again. "An urge to take a bath overwhelms you." "You lost some of your gold in the fountain!" 1/30 You find (2 * d(height + 1)) + 5 zorkmids, where "height" is your height above the bottom level of the current dungeon branch; your wisdom is exercised. If you have already acquired a gem or gold from this fountain, there is no effect. "Far below you, you see coins glistening in the water." (unblind) Finally, the fountain has a 1/3 chance of drying up (except in Minetown, where you'll always get one warning); 1/6 if wetting the object caused an effect. Other fountain effects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Digging down in a fountain square may create a number of pools in your vicinity. (Never two orthogonally adjacent, never on your square, the more likely the closer to you.) The fountain will then dry up (without warning in Minetown). "Water gushes forth from the overflowing fountain!" (pool created) "Water sprays all over you." (no pools created) Gremlins may multiply in a fountain (you can use the #monster command to do so if you are polyselfed into one).

Updated for 3.4.3 by Dylan O'Donnell . The initial statistics for the various classes are computed as follows: 1. 75 points are divided among the six attributes based on the following table: Player Class STR INT WIS DEX CON CHA REM ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ Archeologist 7-20 10-20 10-20 7-10 7-20 7-10 27 Barbarian 16-30 7- 6 7- 7 15-20 16-30 6- 7 8 Caveman 10-30 7- 6 7- 7 7-20 8-30 6- 7 30 Healer 7-15 7-20 13-20 7-15 11-25 16- 5 14 Knight 13-30 7-15 14-15 8-10 10-20 17-10 6 Priest 7-15 7-10 10-30 7-15 7-20 7-10 30 Monk 10-25 7-10 8-20 8-20 7-15 7-10 28 Ranger 13-30 13-10 13-10 9-20 13-20 7-10 7 Rogue 7-20 7-10 7-10 10-30 7-20 6-10 31 Samurai 10-30 8-10 7- 8 10-30 17-14 6- 8 17 Tourist 7-15 10-10 6-10 7-15 7-30 10-20 28 Valkyrie 10-30 7- 6 7- 7 7-20 10-30 7- 7 27 Wizard 7-10 10-30 7-10 7-20 7-20 7-10 30 The number before the dash gives the minimum value for the attributes. The REMaining points are distributed between the six attributes using the number after the dash as percentage probabilities between different attributes. So, for example, a Ranger gets at least 13/13/13/9/13/7; the sum of those attributes is 68, so 7 points are distributed using 30%, 10%, 10%, 20%, 20%, and 10% as probabilities between the attributes. No attribute can go over the maximum; this depends on race: Player Race STR INT WIS DEX CON CHA ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ dwarf 18/** 16 16 20 20 16 elf 18 20 20 18 16 18 gnome 18/50 19 18 18 18 18 human 18/** 18 18 18 18 18 orc 18/50 16 16 18 18 16 2. Next, for every attribute there is a 5% chance that it is further adjusted by -2 to +4 points. No attribute can be adjusted over the race maximum or under 3. 3. The last thing that is done is to adjust strength upwards until the character can carry their initial inventory without being burdened; if the character is still burdened at maximum strength, constitution is increased likewise (not beyond maximum). This is especially useful for Tourists, since not only do they have a low strength, their food items also weigh a lot.

This is a (nominally) upward-extending branch consisting of 5 levels; it is reached by going up from the Top Level of the Dungeons of Doom while carrying the Amulet of Yendor.

Each Plane is linked to the next by a magic portal; no return to previous levels is possible.

The Planes are, in successive order:

All levels in the branch are ineligible to leave bones files.

Plane of Water

This is the fourth of the five Elemental Planes, reached by a magic portal from the Plane of Fire.

The Plane of Water is ineligible to leave bones files. The entire level is no-teleport and has an undiggable floor.

The level is almost wholly water, with several moving air bubbles. You arrive on the level in a bubble on the left-hand side of the level; the magic portal to the Astral Plane is randomly placed in a bubble on the right of the level, and drifts with that bubble.

Randomly located around the level are nineteen water elementals, eight electric eels, eight giant eels, nine kraken, four sharks, four piranhas, four jellyfish, and four other random monsters.

Legend

The stairway into the level is randomly placed in one of the rooms on the left side of the level. The Master Assassin, with the Bell of Opening and the Master Key of Thievery, is at the point marked 'x'. The $-shaped pool is stocked with four sharks. There is a tin of chameleon meat at the marked spot in a left-central room. Randomly placed around the level are eighteen leprechauns, eight guardian nagas, five chameleons, and three random N; thirteen random objects; and eleven random traps, in addition to the one marked spiked pit.

The entire level is no-teleport and has undiggable walls. Note that the stairs enter the level in one of the areas cut off from the Master Assassin; you will have to use sneaky means such as phasing, or falling from the level above and hoping (making sure to have a means of return), in order to complete this Quest. This is a deliberate and acknowledged design decision; Rogues are expected to be resourceful!

The Quest

This is a downward-extending branch consisting of 5 or 6 levels; it is reached by a magic portal in the Dungeons of Doom, 6 or 7 levels below the Oracle level (and therefore between DL 11 and DL 16).

The following special levels are found in this branch:

Quest home(Top level)
Quest locate(3rd level)
Quest goal(Bottom level, 5th or 6th)

The locate and non-special levels are eligible to leave bones; the home and goal levels are not.

Each character class has its own Quest, with its own layout of levels and its own characteristic monsters. For specific details of each, see the individual entries below:

However, all Quests have certain things in common. The Dungeons level with the portal will be signalled by a telepathic message from your Quest Leader. Proceeding from the home level to the second level requires you to be at least XL 14, of pious alignment, have the same alignment (unmasked by a helm of opposite alignment) as you started with, and to have received permission from your Quest Leader (which cannot be obtained unless you meet the prior criteria). The Quest Nemesis on the goal level will be carrying the Bell of Opening, and the Quest Artifact will be generated on the same square; returning with the Artifact to your Leader will get it identified.

The high priest attending the temple of Moloch has, in addition to his usual priestly accoutrements, the Amulet of Yendor. The courtyard surrounding his temple contains nine priests of Moloch, a horned devil, a barbed devil, an erinys, a marilith, and a nalfeshnee; in addition to the standard undead in the marked graveyard, the level also contains two random L and three random V. The temple is surrounded by fire traps, and a secret door is placed randomly on one wall; there are also two more fire traps, a spiked pit, a magic trap, an anti-magic trap, and a sleeping gas trap randomly elsewhere on the level. Four pieces of armour, two tools, a gem, four potions and five scrolls are randomly located about the level, as well as the usual chests in the graveyard. All walls are undiggable; also, the dividing line between the two halves of the level cannot be phased through by polyself into a xorn or earth elemental.

Mines' End

This level is located on the bottom level of the Gnomish Mines (and therefore either their 8th or 9th level, and between DL 10 and DL 13).

Mines' End is ineligible to leave bones files. Monster creation on this level is biased towards lawful monsters.

Map details

The end of the Gnomish Mines comes in three different versions, each of which has an equal chance of being used:

Bear in mind that, as elsewhere in the Gnomish Mines, if you are playing a dwarf or gnome, two-thirds of the dwarves or gnomes respectively that are listed in these descriptions will be made random monsters instead.

Legend

The blank space comprising the bulk of the above map is filled with a maze linking the marked chambers and open spaces, avoiding the marked pillars. Randomly placed on the level are an ettin mummy, four random e, five random M, and two random V; two diamonds, three emeralds, two rubies, two amethysts, seven other random gems, five random scrolls, four random spellbooks, and three other random objects.

The three spots marked '*' have, randomly allocated, a flint stone, a luckstone, and nothing; the two spots with stones also have level teleport traps. The level is blocked from magic mapping, but the walls are diggable except those of the treasure chambers.

The Gnomish Mines

This is a downward-extending branch consisting of 8 or 9 levels; it is reached by a second downstair in the Dungeons of Doom, between DL 2 and DL 4. If the top level is at DL 3, it is ineligible to leave bones due to its depth; otherwise, all levels except Mines' End may leave bones.

The following special levels are found in this branch:

Minetown (3rd or 4th level, DL 5 to DL 8)
Mines' End (Bottom level, DL 10 to DL 13)

All non-special levels are caverns, containing 7 gnomes, 2 dwarves, a gnome lord, 2 random G and one random h. (However, note that if you are playing a dwarf or gnome, two-thirds of these dwarves or gnomes respectively will be made random monsters instead.) 6 random traps are placed on each level, along with one random tool, 3 random loose gems (or piles of gems), and three random other objects; in addition, the rock is more heavily mineralised than the Dungeons of Doom. Monster creation in this branch is biased towards lawful monsters.

The Wizard's Tower

This is an upward-extending set of 3 consecutive levels in Gehennom, of which the bottommost is between the 13th and 18th levels, and the topmost between the 11th and 16th levels (and therefore the Tower is constrained to be between DL 36 and DL 47). The Tower proper is reached by a magic portal in one of the Fake Wizard's Towers. The outer maze may contain the stairs to Vlad's Tower.

All three levels are no-teleport and have undiggable floors; only the middle level is eligible to leave bones files.

Map details

Each level of the Tower consists of a central core (the Tower proper) surrounded by normal maze which contains the stairs allowing passage through Gehennom; it is impossible to reach one area from the other (the outer walls of the Tower being undiggable and unphasable). It is, however, possible to level teleport out of (but not into) the Tower.

You arrive in (and leave) the Tower at the magic portal marked in the lower right. The small central tower contains a vampire lord and a random L; the marked traps are squeaky boards. The moat surrounding it contains two giant eels and two krakens. There is a random D near to the portal, and the marked beehive is filled with its normal queen bee and nine killer bees; in addition, randomly placed around the mapped area (or the long corridor of the outer maze immediately to its right) are three random &, a random D, and a random L; two random scrolls, a random weapon, a random potion, and a random tool. There is a random amulet on the upladder. All walls are undiggable and unphasable save those of the small central tower.

The Wizard of Yendor, with the Book of the Dead, occupies the centre of the small tower; a hell hound and a vampire lord are next to him, and the moat contains four giant eels, four krakens, and two piranhas. Randomly placed around the mapped area (or the long corridor of the outer maze immediately to its right) are four random &, a random D, and a random H; three random spellbooks, two random scrolls, two random potions, and a ruby; and a spiked pit, a sleeping gas trap, an anti-magic trap, and a magic trap (in addition to the four marked squeaky boards). The only entrance to the walkway surrounding the moat is via a secret door randomly located in the west, east, or south walls. All walls are undiggable and unphasable save those of the small central tower.

Medusa's Island

This level is located in the Dungeons of Doom between 1 and 4 levels above the Castle (and therefore between DL 21 and DL 28).

Medusa's Island is ineligible to leave bones files. The entire level is no-teleport. Monster creation on this level is biased towards chaotic monsters.

Maps

Medusa's island comes in two versions, each of which has a 50% chance of being used.

Legend

Medusa is waiting on the downstair; there is a random S in each of the top and bottom corridors of her hall, two water trolls in the water to the right of the level, three giant eels and three jellyfish in the water to the left of the level, and ten random other monsters. In addition to the two marked squeaky boards, there are five other random traps on the level.

The statue of Perseus on the downstair has (independently) a 75% chance of containing a cursed +0 shield of reflection, a 25% chance of +0 levitation boots, a 50% chance of a blessed +2 scimitar, and a 50% chance of a sack; up to five other statues of player-monsters with names and classes from the top ten score list may be randomly created in Medusa's chamber, and will be empty. The seven random other statues around the level will contain any equipment their monster type might usually be issued with, but will not have the usual chance of containing a random spellbook.

The walls of Medusa's hall are undiggable.

Legend

Medusa is waiting on the downstair; there is a titan and a gremlin in the entrance hall, six electric eels and three jellyfish in the water to the left of the level, four stone golems and two cobras immediately outside Medusa's room, a random A and a yellow light in the back room of Medusa's hall, and a further thirteen random monsters distributed fairly evenly across the level. In addition to the marked magic trap, there are four other random traps on the level.

The statue of Perseus on the downstair has (independently) a 25% chance of containing a cursed +0 shield of reflection, a 75% chance of +0 levitation boots, a 50% chance of a blessed +2 scimitar, and a 50% chance of a sack; up to five other statues of player-monsters with names and classes from the top ten score list may be randomly created in Medusa's hall, and will be empty. The eight marked statues outside Medusa's room will contain any equipment their monster type might usually be issued with, but will not have the usual chance of containing a random spellbook.

There are marked boulders in the entrance hall and on the right-hand island; the latter has a random wand beneath it. The walls of both the entrance hall and Medusa's hall are undiggable.

Oracle

The Oracle is located between levels 5 and 9 of the Dungeons of Doom.

The Oracle level is eligible to leave bones files. Monster creation on this level is biased towards neutral monsters.

Legend

There are five rooms to the sides of the above area, containing the stairs (in separate rooms), five random monsters, three random traps, and six random objects; they are linked to each other and to the mapped room by corridors. The Oracle is at the centre of the 3*3 room ("Delphi"), amid the fountains; Delphi has a random empty doorway in one wall. The marked statues are two of forest centaurs (NW and SE), two of mountain centaurs (NE and SW), and four of plains centaurs (N, W, S, and E). There are two random monsters in the area surrounding Delphi.

#chatting to the Oracle can get you advice; the charge for a minor oracularity (from the true rumours file) is 50 zorkmids, for a major oracularity (specific, if highly cryptic, information) is 500 + (50*XL); this exercises wisdom, and the first of each type gives a small amount of experience.

Sokoban

This is an upward-extending branch consisting of 4 levels; it is reached by a second upstair in the Dungeons of Doom located on the level immediately below the Oracle level (and therefore between DL 6 and DL 10).

All levels in the branch are no-teleport and ineligible to leave bones files. Level teleport is also forbidden within the branch. Monster creation within this branch is biased towards neutral monsters.

On all Sokoban levels, diagonal movement between boulders or between boulders and walls, pushing boulders diagonally, or picking boulders up, are disallowed actions; all walls are undiggable and unphasable. Certain actions carry -1 Luck penalties:

  • breaking boulders
  • turning boulders to flesh
  • reading scrolls of earth
  • jumping
  • being pulled by a chain attached to a thrown iron ball
  • movement by Newton's Third Law
  • squeezing past boulders

Maps

Each level will be one of two variants, chosen with equal probability. Each level contains four random food items, one random ring, and one random wand (along with lots of boulders). The marked traps on each level are holes (with the exception of the bottom level, where they are pits), and are inescapable.

Legend

This central section is flanked on both sides by narrow sections of maze; the upstair is in the left-hand maze, and the one-way upstair from the Valley of the Dead leads to a random location in the right-hand maze. The only way down to the Valley is through one of the five marked trapdoors in the Castle's back corridor; if these are blocked, the only access to Gehennom is via level teleport (the floor of the Castle level is undiggable through).

There are two entrances to the Castle proper. The drawbridge may be opened either by playing the correct tune on a musical instrument (either by listening to the "Mastermind"-like clues*, or by being given the tune by your god); or by more direct means. The alternative is to use whatever means of crossing water you have available to go round to the back door, though the trapdoors in the back corridor will still need to be negotiated.

The Castle moat contains four sharks and four giant eels. The two marked barracks contain their usual complement of soldiers and officers; in addition, each corner tower contains two soldiers, and the atrium eight soldiers and a lieutenant. The throneroom contains 27 monsters, roughly equally chosen from EHLMNORTXZ; the chest is behind the throne. The alcoves between the marked storerooms contain two random dragons each; the storerooms themselves are filled with weapons, armour, food and gems (each of these in one storeroom, at random). Finally, one of the corner towers at random contains a chest holding a wand of wishing.

*Any instrument capable of carrying a tune (bugles, flutes, harps, and horns other than horns of plenty), when played adjacent to either the portcullis square or the moat square where the drawbridge comes down, can open or close the drawbridge by playing the passtune (answer "no" when asked about improvisation). The passtune consists of five notes between A-G; incorrect guesses will give responses of "tumblers clicking" for correct notes in the wrong position, or "gears turning" for correct notes in the right position. Janis Papanagnou has written an automated solver for this version of Mastermind.

Legend

You arrive on the level at the point marked 'x'; the magic portal to the Plane of Air is randomly located in any of the caverns except the entrance one. On arrival, the Wizard of Yendor will put in an appearance (helpfully carrying a spellbook of digging); the entrance cavern is also occupied by an Elvenking carrying a guaranteed pick-axe, and a minotaur with a guaranteed wand of digging. The remainder of the level contains 27 earth elementals, eight rock trolls, five stone giants, five pit vipers, three barbed devils, three pit fiends, a rock piercer, an umber hulk, a dust vortex, four stone golems, a scorpion, and a minotaur, distributed fairly evenly through the caverns.

Rogue Level

The Rogue level is located between levels 15 and 18 of the Dungeons of Doom.

The Rogue level is eligible to leave bones files, and may contain the Quest portal.

This level is an homage to NetHack's ancestor, rogue(6); like the levels in rogue, its layout is a 3*3 grid, each space of which can contain either a room or a corridor node. There are no doors, but there may be secret doorways; each room is either lit or unlit.

Monsters randomly generated on this level will all be chosen only from those represented by upper case letters. No corpses will be left by monsters dying on this level.

There is a fake "bones pile", guarded by a ghost named (with equal chances) after one of the three primary authors and developers of rogue (Michael Toy, Kenneth Arnold, Glenn Wichman); this pile contains:

  • d7 food rations (75% chance)
  • either a mace (enchantment +1 to +3)
    or a two-handed sword (enchantment -1 to +3)
  • a +1 bow
  • 25 to 34 +0 arrows
  • either a ring mail (enchantment +0 to +2; 1/3 chance of being rustproof)
    or a plate mail (enchantment -1 to +3; 1/3 chance of being rustproof)
  • an identified cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor (50% chance)

Each of these items except the food and the amulet has a 75% chance of being cursed.

Legend

The dark areas in the map above are empty air. Movement on the Plane of Air without either levitation or flying is hard; there is a 3/4 chance of failing to move, with equal chances of exercising dexterity, abusing it, or neither. Every turn, there is a 1/8 chance of lightning strikes.

The level contains eleven air elementals, three floating eyes, three yellow lights, a couatl, three djinn, nine fog clouds, five energy vortices, five steam vortices, two jabberwocks, five random dragons, and three random E, all placed randomly. You arrive at a random place on the left side of the level; the magic portal to the Plane of Fire is randomly located on the far right of the level.

This area forms slightly more than half of the level, on the right-hand side; the left side is normal Gehennom-maze, and contains the upstair. All walls on the level are diggable.

Orcus is on the downstair, accompanied by two vampires, two vampire lords, two shades, and a human zombie; in addition to the usual undead in the marked graveyard, there are three vampires, two vampire lords, three human zombies, three ettin zombies, three giant zombies, four shades, five skeletons and five random other monsters randomly placed in the town. The abandoned shops contain standard general store items, and usually a large contingent of mimics; ten random other objects are created in the town. Two magic traps, three fire traps, a spiked pit, an anti-magic trap and a sleeping gas trap are placed randomly.

Legend

This core of the level is surrounded by a similar mixture of land and water (though with two guaranteed islands to ensure at least one place for each stair to go; the upstair is to the right of the above area, and the downstair to the left).

Juiblex is at the exact centre of the map; three lemures occupy the large island on the centre-right of the map above, and all but (a random) one of the marked fountains are actually giant mimics masquerading as fountains. The mapped area also contains six random P, five random b, five random j, five random F, two random m, and two jellyfish; two sleeping gas traps, two anti-magic traps, and two magic traps; six random potions, three random food items, one boulder and finally two random gems (or piles of gems) at the bottom of the pools on the lemures' island.

Legend

This core of the level is surrounded by normal Gehennom-like maze, and has undiggable walls; the only entrance to the centre of the level is via the right-hand door. The upstair is placed within the maze on the left side of the level.

The right-hand room contains three random &, and a fire trap, a magic trap, and an anti-magic trap, placed at random. The room with the downstair is occupied by Asmodeus, a ghost, and a horned devil; three random V and a random L are placed randomly within the left side of this area. The marked traps are a fire trap just inside the door of Asmodeus' room, and a spiked pit in the top-left chamber; additionally, two magic traps, a sleeping gas trap, an anti-magic trap, and another fire trap are placed randomly within the left side of the area, as are three scrolls, two weapons, two pieces of armour, two potions, and a gem (all chosen randomly).

NetHack is a large game. The Mazes of Menace consist of eight branches, containing between them up to 81 individual levels. Many of these are special predefined levels; all have their own challenges and dangers. This Gazetteer attempts to provide the intrepid hacker with an overview of them.

Fort Ludios

This is a single-level branch reached by a magic portal from the Dungeons of Doom that is located in a vault between level 11 and Medusa's Island (and therefore between DL 11 and DL 27). Each vault created within that range has a 1/3 chance of containing the portal if it has not already been generated (except vaults created on the level with the portal to the Quest; note further that no vaults will be created on the Big Room or Rogue levels). As a result, Fort Ludios may be inaccessible in any given game if no vault happens to contain the portal.

The Fort itself has a nominal depth of between DL 18 and DL 21 for the purpose of evaluating monster difficulty and other calculations dungeon depth is used for.

Fort Ludios is ineligible to leave bones files. The entire level is no-teleport.

Legend

You arrive on (and leave) the level at the magic portal marked in the lower left. All walls on the level are undiggable.

Croesus occupies the throne, with the remainder of the throneroom being filled with the standard throneroom monsters; the zoo and barracks get their regular allocation of random monsters and soldiers and officers respectively. In addition, sixteen soldiers and a lieutenant are scattered around the courtyard surrounding the fort, together with four random dragons; four giant eels occupy the moat.

Each square of the vault contains 600 to 899 zorkmids, and has a 1/3 chance of containing a trap (2/3 land mine, 1/3 spiked pit). The four corner towers contain three diamonds (NW), three rubies (NE), three emeralds (SW) and three amethysts (SE).

Three random V and a random L are placed randomly in the central area, as are two fire traps, a sleeping gas trap, a spiked pit, a magic trap, and an anti-magic trap; also three scrolls, two weapons, two pieces of armour, two potions, and a gem (all chosen randomly).

The Vibrating Square

This is located on the second-from-bottom level of Gehennom (immediately above Moloch's Sanctum), and therefore between the 19th and 23rd level of that branch (so between DL 44 and DL 52).

The Vibrating Square level is ineligible to leave bones files.

This is an ordinary Gehennom maze level in most respects. Its floor is too hard to dig through, and there is (initially) no downstair; the only way to proceed is to perform the invocation ritual (reading the Book of the Dead while carrying the lit Candelabrum of Invocation within five turns of having rung the Bell of Opening) standing on the Vibrating Square. Successfully doing so will create the downstair to Moloch's Sanctum on the square itself, and demolish the maze in the vicinity to create a ring of fire traps, a ring of clear space, and a wide moat, in an outwards direction from you.

The Vibrating Square can only be located by the message given when passing over it; it cannot be detected by magic mapping, crystal ball, or any other remote means, and it has no special map symbol. There are some constraints on where it will be randomly placed when the level is created (and once placed, it stays where it is):

  • in a corridor (not in a wall)
  • at least five squares from the side of the map
  • at least four squares from the top or bottom of the map
  • not within a circle of eleven squares radius around the upstair
  • not in a straight line with the upstair
  • not on the same square as a trap

It may be on the same square as a boulder or another item.

Gehennom

This is a downward-extending branch consisting of between 20 and 24 levels; it is reached by the trapdoors found in the Castle, the lowest level of the Dungeons of Doom (alternatively, the first level, the Valley of the Dead, is accessible by level teleport from the Dungeons).

The following dungeon branch connects to Gehennom:

Vlad's Tower (9th to 13th level, DL 34 to DL 42)

The following special levels are found in this branch:

Valley of the Dead (1st level, DL 26 to DL 30)
Asmodeus' Lair (2nd to 7th level, DL 27 to DL 36)
Juiblex' Swamp (4th to 7th level, DL 29 to DL 36)
Baalzebub's Lair (6th to 9th level, DL 31 to DL 38)
Orcus-town (10th to 15th level, DL 35 to DL 44)
Wizard's Tower (11th to 18th levels, DL 36 to DL 47; three consecutive levels)
Fake Wizard's Towers (3rd to 6th levels from bottom, DL 40 to DL 51; two levels)
Vibrating Square (2nd level from bottom, DL 44 to DL 52)
Moloch's Sanctum (Bottom level, DL 45 to DL 53)

(Note that some level ranges are interdependent, so certain combinations of branch/level locations are impossible; for more specific information, see individual entries.)

All non-special levels are mazes. All non-special, non-branching levels are eligible to leave bones. Prayer to one's god is impossible throughout the branch; prayers will instead attract the attention of Moloch.

Astral Plane

This is the fifth and final of the Elemental Planes, reached by a magic portal from the Plane of Water.

The Astral Plane is ineligible to leave bones files. The entire level is no-teleport and blocked to magic mapping; all walls and floors are undiggable and unphasable.

Legend

The three high altars are aligned one each of lawful, neutral, and chaotic; it is not discernable from a distance which is which (and the high priests in attendance are similarly anonymised).

The three Riders, Death, Famine, and Pestilence, are placed randomly in the centres of the three round rooms; in each round room there are also four priests and two Angels of Moloch. Each courtyard surrounding the high temples contains two priests and two Angels of each alignment (one each of your alignment will be peaceful). In addition, the level contains three random D, three random L, three random V, and three to six random player-monsters.

Arrival through the portal from the Plane of Water places you randomly at one of the spots marked 'x' in the curved bottom corridor. If you have the conflict intrinsic, one to four hostile Angels will be created around you; otherwise, if your alignment is at least "fervent" (9 or higher), a tame guardian Angel will be created (but will vanish and send in the hostile Angels if you later use conflict in its vicinity).

Fake Wizard's Towers

These are located between 1 and 4 levels above the Vibrating Square level (and therefore between the 15th and 22nd levels of Gehennom, and between DL 40 and DL 51).

The level without the portal is eligible to leave bones files; the level with the portal is not.

Legend

This core of the level is surrounded by normal Gehennom-like maze; the walls are diggable.

These towers are found on two levels; one tower contains a magic portal leading to the bottom level of the (real) Wizard's Tower at the point marked 'x', the other does not (an amulet being there instead). Both contain four squeaky boards (marked), a vampire lord, and a random L; a single kraken is found in the moat of each.

The name "fake wizard's towers" is a reference to earlier versions in which the Wizard of Yendor lived in a similar structure surrounded by maze; these days, he lives in a similar structure surrounded by a much larger tower. Such is upward mobility.

The Dungeons of Doom

This is a downward-extending branch consisting of between 25 and 29 levels; it is the branch in which the player begins the game.

The following dungeon branches connect to the Dungeons of Doom:

Elemental Planes(DL 1)
Gnomish Mines(DL 2 to DL 4)
Sokoban(DL 6 to DL 10)
The Quest(DL 11 to DL 16)
Fort Ludios (DL 11 to DL 27, not guaranteed)
Gehennom(DL 25 to DL 29)

The following special levels may be found in this branch:

Top Level(DL 1)
Oracle(DL 5 to DL 9)
Big Room (DL 10 to DL 12, 40% chance)
Rogue Level(DL 15 to DL 18)
Medusa's Island (2nd to 5th level from bottom, DL 21 to DL 28)
The Castle (Bottom level, DL 25 to DL 29)

(Note that some level ranges are interdependent, so certain combinations of branch/level locations are impossible; for more specific information, see individual entries.)

Most non-special levels consist of an "ordinary" room-and-corridor layout; some rooms may be special (see room-343.txt). Levels between Medusa's island and the Castle have a 4/5 chance of being mazes. All non-special, non-branching levels below DL 3 are eligible to leave bones files (which may result in maze levels being encountered outside the range just noted).

Legend to Maps

Where possible without ambiguity, the maps use the same symbols that NetHack itself uses in the ASCII tty interface (and documented in the Guidebook). The symbols used in the Gazetteer are as follows:

| -  Vertical or horizontal walls       .    Open floor
<    An upstair or upladder             >    A downstair or downladder
+    A door (open or closed)            ^    A trap or magic portal
}    A pool or moat                     {    A fountain
_    An altar                           \    A throne
B    Iron bars                          C    A cloud
D    A drawbridge (open or closed)      I    Ice
K    A sink                             L    Lava

Valley of the Dead

This is the first level of Gehennom (and therefore between DL 26 and DL 30).

The Valley is eligible to leave bones files. The entire level is no-teleport and blocked to magic mapping.

Legend

If you arrive by falling or jumping through a Castle trapdoor, you will land within a few squares of the upstair. The unaligned temple on the left is manned by a peaceful priest of Moloch. In addition to the inhabitants of the three marked graveyards, the level also contains six ghosts, three vampire bats, four random M, four random Z, three random V, and a random L. In addition to the boxes in the graveyards, there are four random pieces of armour, four random weapons, three random potions, three random scrolls, two random wands, two random rings, two random spellbooks, three random tools, a ruby, and two other random gems; in addition to the corpses in the graveyards, there are two other corpses of each character class save Monks and Priests. The marked traps: in the top left corridor are two spiked pits and a sleeping gas trap, as you go from the temple to the downstair; the trap in the centre-left is a squeaky board; the other two are dart traps; there are a further two magic traps and two anti-magic traps randomly located.

The entire level has undiggable walls and floor.

Top Level

This is the highest level of the Dungeons of Doom, and so located on DL 1.

The top level (as for all levels above DL 4) is ineligible to leave bones files.

This is an ordinary Dungeons room-and-corridor level in almost all respects. It is the level on which the player character begins the game (at the upstair); going up from the level will mean escaping the dungeon (and ending the game) unless you are carrying the Amulet of Yendor, in which case you instead arrive at the Plane of Earth. Cursed potions of gain level can only be used if you are carrying the Amulet.

Vlad's Tower

This is an upward-extending branch consisting of 3 levels; it is reached by a second upstair in Gehennom located between the 9th and 13th levels (and therefore between DL 34 and DL 42).

All levels in the branch are no-teleport; only the middle level is eligible to leave bones files. Monster creation in this branch is biased towards chaotic monsters.

Minetown

This level is located on the 3rd or 4th level of the Gnomish Mines (and therefore between DL 5 and DL 8).

Minetown is eligible to leave bones files. Monster creation on this level is biased towards lawful monsters.

Map details

Minetown comes in seven different versions, each of which has an equal chance of being used:

Bear in mind that, as elsewhere in the Gnomish Mines, if you are playing a dwarf or gnome, two-thirds of the dwarves or gnomes respectively that are listed in these descriptions will be made random monsters instead.

Legend

There are four watchmen and a watch captain randomly placed on the level, along with three dwarves, six gnomes, and two gnome lords; the temple has its attendant priest. The lighting shop (marked 'lght') is manned by a shopkeeper named Izchak; there is also a tool shop, a food shop, and a general store, all marked.

Gnomish wizards live in the room in the far bottom left and the room in front of the secret door at right (behind which is a random ring), a gnome lord in the room in the far bottom right (in the closet of which is a chest) and random G in the room next to the lighting shop and the room at the top of the central corridor. There is a random tool in the room with the downstair, and a statue of a gnome king in the wide lit open space at bottom middle.

Legend

There are three watchmen and two watch captains randomly placed in the town, along with six gnomes, three dwarves, and two gnome lords; the temple has its attendant priest. The lighting shop (marked 'lgt') is manned by a shopkeeper named Izchak; there is also a tool shop ('too'), a food shop ('foo') and a general store ('gen'). The dark room between the lighting shop and the tool shop contains a gnome lord and a gnome; the room to the right of the central fountain contains a gnome.

The mapped town area is surrounded by empty cavern level, which is lit and contains the upstair (to the left of the town) and the downstair (to the right).

Legend

There are four watchmen and a watch captain randomly placed in the town, along with three gnomes, a gnome lord, and two monkeys; the temple has its attendant priest and also contains two gnomish wizards. The lighting shop (marked 'lgt') is manned by a shopkeeper named Izchak; there is a 50% chance each of two food shops ('fd'), a 50% chance of one tool shop ('tl') and 30% chance of a second ('too'), and a 60% chance of a general store ('gn'). Each of these chances is independent.

The large room immediately to the north of the central fountain contains a gnome and three monkeys; the room immediately to its right contains a random nymph, and the room to the right of that a gnome king. The room to the north of the lower fountain contains a random G.

There are four rooms to the sides of the mapped area, containing the stairs (in separate rooms), three gnomes and a dwarf, and two random traps; they are linked to each other and the town proper by corridors.

originally automatically generated. DIF is the monster's difficulty value. Monsters will start being eligible for random generation when the average of your experience level and your dungeon level is equal to DIF; they will be considered too weak for generation when your dungeon level is 7*DIF or greater. (For this purpose, once you have the Amulet of Yendor your dungeon level is considered to be that of the Sanctum, and in the endgame to be the depth of the Sanctum plus half your experience level.) The level of your god's appreciation of a sacrificed corpse is also dependent on the corpse's DIF. FREQ is the relative frequency of monster generation. An X in this field means the monster will not be randomly generated, and only appears in certain circumstances or on predefined levels. A monster with 0 frequency will only be randomly generated in a dungeon branch or on a dungeon level biased towards a specific alignment (not necessarily its own). '*' denotes monsters that will not be randomly generated in Gehennom; '#' monsters that will not be randomly generated outside it. The GRP field indicates if monsters are generated in large groups (2 to 11 monsters at a time) or small groups (2 to 4 monsters at a time). These groups will be smaller if you are at a low (less than 5) experience level. Large-group monsters have a 1/3 chance of being generated in a small group instead; small-group monsters a 1/2 chance of being generated as singletons. ALN is the strength of alignment of the monster: positive numbers denote lawful monsters, negative chaotic, zero neutral. The Wizard of Yendor is non-aligned. Certain special levels and certain dungeon branches are biased towards creation of monsters of a specific alignment (see the NetHack Gazetteer for details); furthermore, lawful monsters will not be randomly generated in Gehennom. The SIZE field shows the physical size of the monster. Though establishing a realistic scale for NetHack isn't something that can be easily done, the following guidelines are given (metric conversion approximate): SIZE : tiny small medium large huge gigantic Scale : < 2' 2'-4' 4'-7' 7'-12' 12'-25' "off the scale" : (< 0.5m) (0.5m-1m) (1m-2m) (2m-4m) (4m-8m) WGT specifies the weight of the monster or its corpse (100 zorkmids weigh 1). Statues of that monster weigh (1.5 * WGT). NUTR specifies the nutrition value of a corpse when eaten (a monster swallowed whole gives half its nutrition). GEN indicates if a monster is able to be genocided. CORPSE% gives the percentage chance of a monster leaving a corpse when killed (assuming the circumstances are such that it can leave a corpse at all; not disintegrated, digested, drowned, stoned...). No corpses will be left by monsters dying on the Rogue level. '#' indicates that the corpse left will be of a different monster (the human form of lycanthropes, the basic race for undead). Monsters marked with a '*' are less likely to leave corpses on levels with graveyards (for this purpose, the Castle and all levels of the Priest Quest are considered graveyard levels, as is any level on which undead have been summoned by the cursed Book of the Dead or Bell of Opening): 1/9 the chance if killed by you, 1/3 otherwise (eg, by a trap or another monster).

Updated for 3.4.3 by Dylan O'Donnell . Magicbane ~~~~~~~~~ [Adapted from a spoiler courtesy of David Grabiner.] Magicbane has several special effects when wielded that make this artifact a very useful item. It resists 95% of curses thrown at you, gives magic resistance, and can engrave without dulling. As a weapon, it may (depending on the monster's magic resistance saving throw) add additional damage and magical effects.

The ENCHANTment of Magicbane affects these probabilities; note that higher enchantments reduce the likelihood of the better attacks. (Negative enchantments have the same probabilities as at +0.) Even the NORMAL, non-magical damage that occurs 60% of the time has an extra d4 damage above that of a normal athame unless the monster resists. If any magical attacks occur, additional d4s of damage are added; at most one of the individual attacks may cause a magical effect as detailed below. The PROBE attack usually does nothing special beyond adding the d4 for the magical attack; if no other effect has occurred, there is a 1 in (3 * (absolute value of enchantment)) chance that the probe is insightful, giving the effect of a wand of probing. A probe is always insightful if Magicbane is at +0. "The magic-absorbing blade probes !" "The magic-absorbing blade prods !" (hallucinating) The STUN attack causes an additional d4 damage; if none of the later effects have occurred and been successful, it stuns the monster (or you, for 3 (more) turns, if you are being attacked by Magicbane). "The magic-absorbing blade stuns !" "The magic-absorbing blade amazes !" (hallucinating) The SCARE attack causes an additional d4 damage; if not combined with a CANCEL attack, causes the monster to flee for 3 (more) turns; the monster has a 50% chance of being given an opportunity to resist this effect. If you are being attacked by Magicbane and aren't magic-resistant, this effect paralyses you for 3 (more) turns. "The magic-absorbing blade scares !" "The magic-absorbing blade tickles !" (hallucinating) Finally, the CANCEL attack causes another additional d4 damage and has the same effect as a spell of cancellation (but with a fixed level of 10 for resistance saving throw purposes). If the monster has the ability to cast spells, the effect adds one to your current and maximum spell energy. The monster may resist. If you are hit with Magicbane and you don't have magic-resistance, you are cancelled and lose one current and maximum spell energy. "The magic-absorbing blade cancels !" "The magic-absorbing blade purges !" In addition, any magical attack has a 1 in 12 chance of confusing the defender. The AVE DMG column in the table above summarizes the expected average damage for each enchantment level; it includes bonuses due to enchantment but not to weapon skills (athames are in the dagger class). (Again, note that a monster with a high base magic resistance saving throw may reduce the severity of the attacks that occur, as well as averting the potential magical effects; the quoted figures are for monsters with 0 MR.) The Damage row lists the amount of damage each type of attack causes; the average of each attack type is given in the Ave dmg row. For those source divers who are interested in how the above values were obtained, the following table may help: Enchant +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 more * Probes/11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 * Stuns/11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Scare roll 4 4 4 2 2 2 1 1 1 0 0 Cancel roll 2 2 2 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 Die roll 1 Can Can Can Can Can Can Sca Sca Sca * * Die roll 2 Can Can Can Sca Sca Sca * * * * * Die roll 3 Sca Sca Sca * * * * * * * * Die roll 4 Sca Sca Sca * * * * * * * * Roll 5-8 * * * * * * * * * * * Roll 9-20 ----------- Normal, non-magical damage ------------- What is the best enchantment for Magicbane? If you simply want to cause the most damage, then the table indicates that you should enchant it as high as possible (safely to +7). Fortunately, your odds of magic- resistance, curse-resistance, and engraving do not depend upon the enchantment. However, if you want to maximize the best magical attacks of this artifact, it should be enchanted to +2. Note that the only difference in the magical attacks between the +0 and the +2 Magicbane is a 3.7% change between probing and stunning. Magicbane is generally not the best weapon for combat, although medium-level characters with good dagger skill and poor skills in other weapon may find it their best choice. Higher-level characters may want to wield it as their regular weapon to absorb curses while they are travelling through the dungeon, switching to something else to fight powerful monsters. Which artifact should I choose? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Adapted from a spoiler courtesy of David Grabiner.] If you get an early wish and decide to use it for a weapon, or if you have accumulated several artifact weapons, which weapon you should wield depends highly on your class because of the class limits on weapon skills. ARTIFACT weapons that are worth keeping are listed in the table below. Some artifacts are not listed, because they are only effective against a small subset of monsters. The SKILL category of each artifact is listed, as well as the maximum skill level for each class (ABCH KMPRaRo STVW): - means restricted to unskilled, b means basic skill, s means skilled, and E means expert. Note that if you receive an artifact as a gift by crowning or sacrificing, any restriction on its weapon class will be removed and you will be able to advance to basic skill. The table also indicates the damage range of each artifact against typical SMALL creatures, LARGE creatures, and major DEMONs. The damage calculations assume that the artifact is enchanted as shown, you have expert skill, and that the artifact's special attacks apply to the monster; the Longbow of Diana assumes that you are using normal +0 arrows fired at a rate of up to 4 a round (expert Ranger). Damage against major demons further assumes that the weapon is blessed and that the demon hates silver, is fire-resistant, and is drain-resistant. Finally, the table summarizes the average damage against major demons (DAVE), which are often the nastiest creatures in the dungeon. Magicbane's actual damage is slightly greater due to its special attacks, but it doesn't make a difference here.

Magicbane is also good if you don't have magic resistance or are short of ways to remove curses. * Stormbringer (SB) permanently drains levels from monsters -- although some species are resistant, including major demons -- and will attack tame or peaceful creatures without confirmation, so it's bad if you're trying to keep a pet. * Excalibur (EX) is easy to get if you are lawful (dip a long sword in a fountain), has automatic searching, and is a somewhat effective weapon. * Mjollnir (MJ) causes lightning damage, and when thrown by a Valkyrie with strength 25, will usually return to your hand. Being a hammer, it is good for classes who are restricted from blades. However, it may destroy useful wands and rings carried by monsters. * Frost Brand (FB) causes cold damage, which makes it an excellent all-around weapon. However, it may freeze useful potions carried by monsters. Although Fire Brand similarly causes fire damage, most major demons are fire-resistant. * Grayswandir (GS) doubles most of its damage (working best when fully enchanted) and causes silver damage. Even though Grayswandir causes the most damage to major demons, Frost Brand is slightly better against ordinary large monsters. The table below compares these six artifacts for each character CLASS. The EARLY GAME recommendation assumes that you will quickly reach maximum skill in the weapon and that the weapon is enchanted to +2, which might be expected from wishing or limited enchantment. The LATE GAME recommendation assumes that you are maximally skilled and that the weapon is enchanted as in the above table. If a weapon is listed with a slash, this means that several are comparable and the choice may depend on other factors. An artifact is listed in parentheses if its skill starts as restricted; you will usually want to obtain it or a weapon of its class as a divine gift in order to unrestrict the skill before using it. The weapons listed include any weapon which could reasonably be the best for that class, as well as weapons which may be obtained without a wish and which are close in quality: * Excalibur is a good weapon early in the game for lawful characters, because it does almost as much damage as Frost Brand and can be obtained without a wish; its lack of double damage makes it inferior later, as Frost Brand's damage and strength bonuses will be doubled. * The Staff of Aesculapius and the Tsurugi of Muramasa, Quest Artifacts for Healers and Samurai, are powerful weapons; they have the disadvantage of requiring two hands, but both do more damage early in the game than any other available weapon. The Tsurugi becomes inferior late in the game, because its damage bonus is not doubled; the Staff is at a disadvantage in Gehennom because it will lose its double damage against level-drain-resistant demons. * The Longbow of Diana, Quest Artifact for Rangers, is a highly useful back-up weapon for fighting at a distance, but has the disadvantage of extremely variable damage depending on the vagaries of multiple shots, and the fact that the supply of arrows is unenchanted.

Even for those classes which don't have it listed, it's a good artifact to wish for because it serves other useful purposes (magic resistance, engraving, and curse resistance). It's a useful weapon to keep as your main weapon after you have killed the Wizard; you can switch to Frost Brand when a lot of nasties appear, because Magicbane takes a long time to kill them, and powerful creatures will resist Magicbane's special attacks.

Updated for 3.4.3 by Dylan O'Donnell . Smoky and milky potions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Potions with the appearance "smoky" may release a djinni and lead to a wish. Each time you or another monster quaff a smoky potion, there is a chance of creating a djinni, depending on the number of djinn that have already been created in the game: DJINN: 0 1 2 3 4 5 n >=120 PROB: 1/13 1/15 1/17 1/19 1/21 1/23 1/(13+2*n) 0 When the djinni appears, the potion is used up and one of five outcomes can occur. The relative chance of these outcomes depends on whether the smoky potion was blessed, uncursed, or cursed: BLESSED UNCURSED CURSED OUTCOME ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ 80% 20% 5% Grants one wish, then disappears. "I am in your debt. I will grant one wish!" 5% 20% 5% Remains as a pet. "Thank you for freeing me!" 5% 20% 5% Remains as a peaceful monster. "You freed me!" 5% 20% 5% Speaks, then vanishes. "It is about time!" 5% 20% 80% Remains as a hostile monster. "You disturbed me, fool!" If the potion had been quaffed by a monster, you will only get a peaceful or vanishing djinni. NOTE: There is no way to get a wish from the djinni other than the first outcome above. In a similar manner, potions with the appearance "milky" may summon a ghost. Each time you or another monster quaff a milky potion, there is a chance of creating a ghost, depending on the number of ghosts that have already been created in the game: GHOSTS: 0 1 2 3 4 5 n >=120 PROB: 1/13 1/15 1/17 1/19 1/21 1/23 1/(13+2*n) 0 When the ghost appears, the potion is used up. If the potion was quaffed by a monster, that monster is paralyzed for 3 turns. Otherwise, if you are unblind, you are paralyzed for 3 turns. In either case, the effect of the potion does not take place (since there was no actual potion in the bottle to drink). There is a limit of 120 djinn (or ghosts) per game. Beyond this limit, they are extinct and no more can be created. Cancelling and diluting potions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are several ways to turn potions into water. If potions of sickness, see invisible, or fruit juice are hit by a wand or spell of cancellation, they become uncursed potions of fruit juice, with the same amount of dilution as before the cancellation. Potions of oil and booze become uncursed but otherwise remain the same. Other potions will become uncursed potions of water. You can also change potions of blindness, confusion, or hallucination into uncursed water -- or potions of sickness into fruit juice -- by #dipping a unicorn horn into these potions. Note that if you had quaffed these potions, you would have suffered bad effects that could have been cured by the unicorn horn in any case. You can also #dip an amethyst stone into booze to convert it into fruit juice ("a-methyst" means not intoxicated.) In either of these cases, only one potion will be converted, regardless of the number of potions in the inventory slot. Finally, you can turn any potion except acid into water by #dipping it into an uncursed potion of water or fountain (the latter may cause bad effects as well). If you are over a pool or moat but not levitating, you can also #dip into that water. Furthermore, if you swim under water or fall into water, your potions have a chance of getting wet. If you #dip a potion of acid or it gets wet it does 1 to 10 points of damage. Getting potions wet happens in two stages. After one dipping, the potions will become diluted, but will have their same blessed state. Diluted potions have exactly their same effects as undiluted potions (with minor exceptions for booze and fruit juice). Getting diluted potions wet again then converts them into uncursed water. Note that water cannot be diluted. Holy water ~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "water" by Maurice Vliege.) Once you have potions of water, you can convert them to holy water at an altar with your same alignment. Drop any unholy water or uncursed water that you wish to convert onto the altar, and #pray. If your god was pleased with you, they will all be converted to holy water. To make unholy water, you must find an altar of a different alignment than your own that is not in Gehennom. Drop any holy water or uncursed water that you wish to convert onto the altar, and #pray. All of the potions will be converted to unholy water. It does not matter if your god was pleased before, but your god will be upset after the prayer. Holy and unholy water may also be found randomly, may appear in bones piles from other characters, and can be wished for. Holy water may be part of your initial inventory (Priests start with four). A more obscure way to acquire holy or unholy water is to wield some uncursed potions of water, take off all other worn items, and read a non-cursed scroll of remove curse while confused. You have a 25% chance of creating holy water and 25% chance of creating unholy water this way, and it doesn't need any altars! Blessed scrolls of remove curse will have the same effect on each item in your inventory individually (try splitting up the water into different slots by #naming); be careful of other items in inventory becoming cursed. Once you have holy water, you can uncurse any cursed item or bless any uncursed items by the dipping the item into a potion of holy water. Similarly, dipping a blessed item into unholy water makes it uncursed, and dipping an uncursed item into unholy water makes it cursed. (Dipping a blessed item into holy water or a cursed item into unholy water doesn't do anything in particular: "Interesting...".) In all cases where the status is changed, one of the potions of (un)holy water is used in the process. By dipping several uncursed potions of water into a potion of (un)holy water, you can continue to make more (un)holy water indefinitely (as long as you have uncursed water). Dipping an item in holy or unholy water does NOT rust, blank, dilute, or otherwise damage it. Dipping and mixing potions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from a posting by Paul Brinkley.) The effects of #dipping various objects into potions is summarized in the table below. You are first prompted for the item to be DIPPED, and then the potion to dip it INTO. One of the potions dipped into will be used up, unless there was no effect or the potions were cancelled by the dipping (unicorn horn or amethyst). Except where shown, it doesn't matter if potions are diluted before dipping. You can mix two non-water potions (or groups of potions) of different types by dipping one into the other; this procedure is commonly referred to as "alchemy". There is a 10% chance of an explosion (always if the DIPPED is cursed or acid) which makes you breathe vapors of the DIPPED potion, abuses your strength, and makes you lose one of each potion. Otherwise, the DIPPED potion(s) may become a different type of potion, which will always be uncursed and diluted, and you use up one of the INTO potions. The possible mixtures are also described in the table below. DIPPED INTO RESULT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ cursed object holy water uncursed object uncursed object holy water blessed object blessed object unholy water uncursed object uncursed object unholy water cursed object acid uncursed water potion boils undiluted potion uncursed water diluted potion diluted potion uncursed water uncursed water scroll/spellbook uncursed water blank scroll/spellbook (unless mail) iron object uncursed water may rust any potion itself "That is a potion bottle, not a Klein bottle!" any potion same type No effect.

AMULET COST WGT PROB EAT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ : ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ : ~~~ amulet of change : $150 20 130c : Y amulet of ESP : 150 20 175 : Y amulet of life saving : 150 20 75 : amulet of magical breathing : 150 20 65 : Y amulet of reflection : 150 20 75 : amulet of restful sleep : 150 20 135c : Y amulet of strangulation : 150 20 135c : Y amulet of unchanging : 150 20 45 : Y amulet versus poison : 150 20 165 : Y imitation AoY : 0 20 0 : Amulet of Yendor : 30000 20 0 : Amulets are listed in alphabetical order above. The COST field denotes the base price of each amulet. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1). Amulets comprise 1% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 1% in containers, and 4% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype; the suffix specifies the chance of blessed/cursed: c 0.5% blessed, 9% uncursed, 90.5% cursed otherwise 5% blessed, 90% uncursed, 5% cursed Imitation Amulets of Yendor may be found on the bones pile of the Rogue level (50% chance), with "double trouble" Wizards of Yendor when you don't have the real Amulet (50% chance), and with the player-monsters on the Astral Plane (100%). The real Amulet of Yendor is carried by the high priest(ess) of Moloch. Except as noted below, the effects of amulets are controllable by putting on and removing the amulet. If the EAT field is Y, then it is possible to obtain an effect permanently by polymorphing into a metallivore (rock mole, rust monster, or xorn) and eating the amulet. There is only a 1/5 chance of obtaining the effect this way ("Magic spreads through your body as you digest the amulet."). Eating an amulet of unchanging will not confer unchanging, but instead return you to your natural form ("un-change" you). The appearances of the first nine types of amulets are randomized from the following descriptions: circular spherical oval triangular pyramidal square concave hexagonal octagonal Both the imitation and real Amulets of Yendor appear as an "Amulet of Yendor"; they can be distinguished by identifying each individual copy, naming the real one, or by placing each inside a container (the real one will not fit). The possible imitation Amulet on the Rogue level is always pre-identified. Wearing an amulet will increase the rate at which you get hungry (see food-343.txt). Amulet effects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ amulet of change When either worn or eaten, it toggles your character's gender between male and female. Gender has the following effects in the game: Only female monsters can lay eggs. Eggs in a male character's inventory may hatch tame monsters. Males are seduced by succubi, females are seduced by incubi. Nymphs "seduce" males and "charm" females. The Cave(wo)man and Priest(ess) classes have different names. It determines how you are addressed (purely cosmetic). If you are polymorphed into a single-sex monster, your base gender will be altered but not your current one, with the exception that an incubus will change into a succubus and vice versa. "You are suddenly very feminine/masculine!" "You don't feel like yourself." (polymorphed into single-sex monster, but character's base sex has changed) "The amulet disintegrates!" amulet of ESP When worn, you will see monsters that have a brain when they are nearby, or anywhere on the level when you are blind. If eaten, the intrinsic telepathy only works when blind. No messages. amulet of life saving When worn, your life will be saved if you die; the amulet then disintegrates. No message when put on. No effect when eaten (nice try). amulet of magical breathing When either worn or eaten, you gain amphibiousness and unbreathing. You can swim under water and cannot be strangled or choked. No messages. amulet of reflection When worn, rays from wands, spells, and breath attacks can be reflected. No message when put on. No effect when eaten (nice try). amulet of restful sleep When worn or eaten, you will fall asleep within 1 to 100 turns. You awaken within 1 to 20 turns or when disturbed. If you continue wearing an amulet of restful sleep, the cycle will repeat. No message. amulet of strangulation When worn, you are strangled to death in 6 turns. When eaten, you instantly choke, with 1/20 chance of survival. Exceptions are made if you have unbreathing from an amulet of magical breathing or polyself. "It constricts your throat!" amulet of unchanging When worn, you are prevented from changing your current form by polymorph or other means, and are also protected from being slimed; any sliming in progress is halted. No message when put on. When eaten, you are "un-changed" to your natural form. amulet versus poison When either worn or eaten, you gain poison resistance. No message. cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor No effect or message when put on. Cannot be eaten. Amulet of Yendor When carried, you get all of the following (mostly bad): You get clairvoyance, if it is not blocked. When casting spells, your energy is drained. Hunger is increased (additional to normal amulet hunger). Your luck timeout is increased. Monster difficulty will depend on your deepest level reached, not your current dungeon level. Monsters are less likely to be generated asleep. When going up levels in Gehennom, you may teleport down 0 to 3 levels instead. The chance depends on your alignment: UP L N C +1 75.0% 75.0% 75.0% 0 6.25 8.33 12.5 -1 6.25 8.33 12.5 -2 6.25 8.33 0.0 -3 6.25 0.0 0.0 You cannot level teleport. Teleportation within the level is blocked 1/3 of the time. The Wizard can teleport or level teleport to find you. The Wizard will try to steal the Amulet. You are permitted to enter the Plane of Earth by taking the upstairs, or quaffing a cursed potion of gain level, from dungeon level 1. You can activate the endgame portals. When worn or wielded, you get messages about the amulet getting "hotter" as you approach magic portals. No message when putting on. Cannot be eaten. (Would you sacrifice yourself, then?)

Initial hit points ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Characters start with a fixed number of hit points according to their role: Arc Bar Cav Hea Kni Mon Pri Ran Rog Sam Tou Val Wiz 11 14 14 11 14 12 12 13 10 13 8 14 10 modified by racial bonuses: Dwa Elf Gno Hum Orc +4 +1 +1 +2 +1 Hit point gain per level ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This varies according to whether your character is "high level" or not; more experienced characters generally gain HP more slowly. High level characters are those that have reached the following experience levels: Arc Bar Cav Hea Kni Mon Pri Ran Rog Sam Tou Val Wiz 14 10 10 20 10 10 10 12 11 11 14 10 12 The base HP (and max HP) increment when gaining an experience level is: Arc Bar Cav Hea Kni Mon Pri Ran Rog Sam Tou Val Wiz low: +d8 +d10 +d8 +d8 +d8 +d8 +d8 +d6 +d8 +d8 +d8 +d8 +d8 high: +1 +2 +2 +1 +2 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +0 +2 +1 with racial modifiers: Dwa Elf Gno Hum Orc low: +d3 +1 +1 +d2 +1 high: +2 +1 +0 +1 +0 and a bonus or penalty for constitution: 3 : -2 4-6 : -1 7-14 : +0 15-16 : +1 17 : +2 18 : +3 19+: +4 You will always gain at least one HP when gaining a level. Hit point regeneration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If your hit points are reduced below their maximum level, they will usually regenerate over time. HP do not regenerate during the period of invulnerability while praying to a receptive god. If you are polymorphed into another monster, you will regain 1 HP every 20 turns provided you are no worse than Burdened (every turn, ignoring encumbrance, if you have the regeneration intrinsic); the exception is if you are a sea monster out of water, when you will lose 1 HP each turn (but never to zero). If you are in your normal form, the frequency and amount of HP you regenerate depends on your experience level and constitution. Unless you have regeneration, you will not regain HP if you are moving or fighting while Stressed or worse (indeed, doing so while Strained will cause you to lose 1 HP every 30 turns, every 10 turns while Overtaxed, until you don't have enough stamina to move or you pass out). If your experience level (XL) is 10 or less: regain 1 HP every number of turns depending on the following table: XL: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 TURNS: 15 11 9 8 7 6 5 5 4 3 If your experience level (XL) is 11 or greater: every 3 turns, regain HP depending on CON. CON = 3-12 : 1 HP. CON = 13+ : d(CON), but no more than XL-9. If you have regeneration: gain 1 HP on any turn which you would not otherwise. Initial power ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Characters start the game with an amount of magical power dependent on their role: Arc Bar Cav Hea Kni Mon Pri Ran Rog Sam Tou Val Wiz 1 1 1 1+d4 1+d4 2+d2 4+d3 1 1 1 1 1 4+d3 modified by racial bonuses: Dwa Elf Gno Hum Orc +0 +2 +2 +1 +1 Power gain per level ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For some roles only, this varies according to whether your character is "high level" or not; more experienced characters may gain power slightly more quickly. High level characters are those that have reached the following experience levels: Hea Kni Mon Pri Wiz 20 10 10 10 12 The amount of power gained is determined by rolling a die with ((WIS / 2) + X) sides. X is usually 1, but is 2 for high level Healers, Knights, Monks, and Priests, and low level Wizards; and is 3 for high level Wizards. This die-roll is modified by racial bonuses or penalties: Dwa Elf Gno Hum Orc -1 +2 +1 +1 +0 and the outcome may be subject to a further multiplier: Bar, Val: x0.75 Hea, Kni: x1.5 Pri, Wiz: x2 It is possible (in the case of dwarves) not to gain power when gaining a level. Power regeneration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you use power, it slowly returns to its maximum level at a rate dependent on your experience level (XL), role, wisdom, and intelligence. Non-Wizards: every (38 - XL) * 2/3 turns Wizards: every (38 - XL) * 1/2 turns (Or every turn if carrying the Eye of the Aethiopica): regain d(((WIS + INT) / 15) + 1) power points.

LEV is the base experience level (hit dice) of the monster; a value of 50 or greater means the monster will have 2*(LEV-6) hit points. SPD is the monster's speed, from 1 (slowest) to 36 (fastest), where a human has a normal speed of 12. AC is the armor class. MR is the base magic resistance saving throw percentage. The actual chance of a monster's resisting an effect against which it gets a saving throw is MR/(100 - ML + EL), where ML is the monster's current level and EL is the effect level (the player's experience level for spells, 12 for wands and traps, 10 for tools and artifact weapons, 9 for scrolls, 6 for potions, and 5 for rings). RESISTS lists monster resistances and conveyances. Lowercase letters mean that the monster is itself resistant to the attack; uppercase letters mean that eating the corpse may also convey the resistance to the player. F Fire C Cold S Sleep D Disintegration (NOT death) E Electric shock P Poison A Acid * Stoning ATTACKS lists each of the monster's attacks. The prefix letter, if any, specifies how the attack is made: No letter means a direct attack B Breath E Engulf G Gaze H Hugging or crushing M Magic (spell) S Spit W Uses weapon X Explodes () Defensive response when the monster is attacked [] Defensive response when the monster is killed A suffix letter, if any, specifies the type of damage: No letter means normal physical damage A Acid C Cold D Disintegration (NOT death) E Electric shock F Fire H Heal M Magic missiles P Poison (drains strength) R Rust or corrode metal S Sleep V Drain level b Blind (no physical damage) c Confuse (no physical damge) d Digest e Drain magic energy (no physical damage) h Hallucination i Remove intrinsic m Stick to you r Rot organics s Stun t Teleport you w Wrap and drown you x Prick legs z Special monster attack (see note) . Paralyse + Cast spell (magical or clerical) - Steal something " Disenchant something & Seduce and disrobe you < Slow ! Drain ability (C - CON, D - DEX, I - INT) # Disease (see note) $ Steal gold * Turn to stone @ Lycanthropy or turn to slime Note that if a monster has two disease, pestilence or famine attacks (not death), no more than one will be effective in a given turn; if the first is successful, the second is converted to a stun attack instead.

There are nine basic colours of dragon in NetHack 3.4. These breathe eight different types of dragonbreath; a resistance can be acquired (either intrinsic or extrinsic) to each of these types, and these are therefore sometimes referred to as the "dragon resistances". This spoiler discusses how to acquire these resistances and the protection they give. Note that, as a general rule, any intrinsics acquired solely by experience level can be lost by being drained below that level. acid resistance acquired by Wearing: yellow dragon scales or scale mail, or an alchemy smock. Being polymorphed into: spotted or ochre jelly, glass piercer, (baby) yellow dragon, green mold, black naga (hatchling), gold or glass golem, or any of bmyP. protects against Acid attacks of ochre jellies, *yellow dragons, black nagas, Juiblex, and the *Chromatic Dragon. *Passive acid attacks of acid blobs, spotted and ochre jellies, and green molds.

Chatting to priests ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Priests will only be willing to chat if they are still peaceful, in their own aligned temple, and have freedom of action; trying to talk to a priest otherwise will arouse his wrath. If the priest is talkative, #chatting to him can have various results: If you have no visible money, the priest will not ask for a donation; if additionally you are co-aligned with him, and your alignment is non-negative, your wisdom is exercised, and he will give you "two bits for an ale" (2 zorkmids; just one if that's all he has, or if he has no money he will "preach the virtues of poverty.) Otherwise, you will be asked "for a contribution to the temple". The outcome depends on how much you donate (in relation to your experience level), and what proportion of your visible gold this represents. 0 zorkmids : "Thou shalt regret thine action!" -1 to alignment : if co-aligned, otherwise no effect. 1 zorkmid to : If donation less than one-third of current visible gold, (200*XL)-1 : "Cheapskate"; otherwise "I thank thee for thy contribution" : and exercise wisdom. 200*XL to : "Thou art indeed a pious individual." If donation (400*XL)-1 : one-third of current visible gold or less, no further : effect. Otherwise, "I bestow on thee a blessing" and gain : clairvoyance for 500 to 999 (more) turns; additionally, : if co-aligned and alignment -4 or worse, +1 to alignment. 400*XL to : A possibility of receiving protection, as detailed below; (600*XL)-1 : if protection not granted, same effects as next case. 600*XL or : "Thy selfless generosity is deeply appreciated." If greater : co-aligned and donation greater than one-third of current : visible gold, +2 to alignment (or, if alignment negative : and more than 5000 turns since this effect last occurred, : alignment instead restored to 0); otherwise, no effect. Protection from priests ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you donate between 400 times your experience level in gold and 1 less than 600 times your experience level to any temple priest (regardless of alignment), you may receive divine protection as a result, which manifests as an improvement in your armour class. This depends on your intrinsic (naked, ringless and spell-less) AC as follows: 10 : AC reduced by 2 to 4. 2 to 9 : AC reduced by 1. -9 to 1 : 1/(10-(AC)) chance of AC being reduced by 1. -10 or less : No reduction in AC. So, intrinsic AC can (with enough money) be easily reduced to 1; reductions below this point immediately become increasingly unlikely; and -10 is a hard limit for AC improvement by this method. (Other means of gaining intrinsic protection, such as divine gift from prayer or eating rings of protection, will still be available.) If AC is reduced by donation, "Thy devotion has been rewarded"; otherwise, "Thy selfless generosity is deeply appreciated", and alignment may be improved as detailed above.

Sitting on a throne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from a spoiler by Kevin Hugo.) There is a 2/3 chance that nothing happens. "You feel somehow out of place..." "You feel very comfortable here." (polymorphed into royal monster) Otherwise, there is an equal 1/13 chance of one of the following: * You lose d4+2 points from a random attribute, and d10 hit points. * You gain 1 point to a random attribute. * If shock resistant, you lose d6 hit points. "An electric shock shoots through your body!" Otherwise, you lose d30 hit points. "A massive electric shock shoots through your body!" In both cases, your constitution is abused. Items in inventory are NOT at risk of explosion. * If you are within 5 hit points of maximum, your max HP is increased by 4; hit points are then restored to maximum whether increased or not. Also cures all blindness, all sickness, and wounded legs. "You feel much, much better!" * If you have any gold in your main inventory, it's all taken away. "You notice you have no gold!" Otherwise, no effect. "You feel a strange sensation." * If your luck is d5 or more below zero, your luck is increased by one. "You feel your luck is changing." Otherwise, you get to make a wish. * d10 throneroom monsters appear around you. "Thy audience hath been summoned, !" * You get to genocide one species, as for an uncursed scroll of genocide. "A voice echoes: "By thy Imperious order, ..."" * If your luck is positive, you are blinded for 250 to 349 (more) turns; otherwise, your inventory is randomly cursed (as for a "malignant aura"). "A curse upon thee for sitting upon this most holy throne!" * If your luck is non-negative and you don't already have intrinsic see invisible, you acquire that intrinsic. "Your vision becomes clear." Otherwise, if the level can be magic-mapped, it is. "An image forms in your mind." Or, if the level cannot be mapped, you are confused for d30 (more) turns. "A terrible drone fills your head!" * If you have negative luck, you wake all monsters on the level. "You feel threatened." Otherwise, you are teleported within the level. "You feel a wrenching sensation." * You can identify items from your inventory: # items: 1 2 3 4 all chance: 1/5 1/5 1/5 1/5 1/5 "You are granted an insight." * You are confused for 15+d7 (more) turns. "Your mind turns into a pretzel!" Whether anything happened or not, if you are still sitting on the throne (haven't teleported away), there is a 1/3 chance that the throne will then disappear. "The throne vanishes in a puff of logic." Kicking a throne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have negative luck, or the throne has previously been looted, there is a 1/3 chance of destroying the throne, leaving behind d200 gold pieces. "CRASH! You destroy the throne." "CRASH! You destroy it." (if blind) If the throne is not destroyed in this manner, you have positive luck, and the throne has not previously been looted, there is a 1/3 chance of dislodging some loot: 300 to 500 gold pieces, and a number (more with higher luck) of gems. "You kick loose some ornamental coins and gems!" "You kick something loose!" (if blind) If neither of the above effects occur, there is a 1/4 chance that you may trigger a (hidden, and untriggerable any other way) trap door. "The floor opens up under you!" followed by "The hole in the ceiling above you closes up." If you didn't get any of the above, you get a hurt foot; your dexterity and strength, are abused, 1/3 chance of your right leg being hurt for 6 to 10 turns, and you lose d5 HP (d3 HP if your constitution is greater than 15). "Ouch! That hurts!" nethack-spoilers-3.4.3+20110109.orig/rint-343.txt0000644000175000017500000003262211430345750021121 0ustar cjwatsoncjwatsonrint-343.txt Last edited 2004-10-05 for NetHack 3.4.3 Ring intrinsics in NetHack 3.4 Compiled by Dylan O'Donnell . This spoiler covers all intrinsics that may be granted by wearing rings, other than the dragon resistances already dealt with in drgn-343.txt: how to acquire them (in addition to their ring source), how to lose them, and what effects they have. Note that, as a general rule, any intrinsics acquired solely by experience level can be lost by being drained below that level. aggravate monster acquired by Wearing or eating a ring of aggravate monster.

The COST field denotes the base price of each item. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1). The existence of some items depends on options chosen when the program was compiled; they are noted with an asterisk (*). Tools comprise 8% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 0% in containers, 0% on the Rogue level, and 12% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype. See below for more details on item generation. If the CHG field is not blank, then the tool can be charged by a scroll of charging or the Platinum Yendorian Express Card. The number shows the maximum number of initial charges. An exclamation mark (!) indicates that the tool can only be recharged once. Finally, some items have a different APPEARANCE until they are identified. Note that many tools share the same appearance with other types of tools. Using containers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Containers are generated uncursed, with the CONTENTS described below. Containers will not be generated containing tools, weapons, armour or rocks. Containers in your initial inventory will be empty. If the container can be LOCKED, then there is an 80% chance that it will be generated locked and a different 10% chance that it will be trapped. Not all containers FIT into other containers. Some containers have special EFFECTS. All of the containers except ice boxes can be eaten by gelatinous cubes; the contents will be engulfed but unharmed. CONTAINER CONTENTS LOCKED FIT EFFECTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~ sack 0-1 items No Yes -- large box 0-3 items Yes No -- chest 0-5 items Yes No -- ice box 0-20 corpses No No Suspends rotting of corpses. bag of holding 0-1 items No Yes May reduce weight. bag of tricks 1-20 charges No Yes Bites you / creates monsters. oilskin sack 0-1 items No Yes May prevent water damage. Quantum mechanics may carry a large box containing either a live or dead housecat named Schroedinger's Cat. The state of the cat is not determined until the box is opened. There is nothing special about this cat; it is just a silly physics joke. The weight of a bag of holding (wgt) -- including the 15 for the bag itself -- depends on the weight of its contents (cwgt) and its blessed status: blessed: wgt = 15 + cwgt/4 + 1 uncursed: wgt = 15 + cwgt/2 + 1 cursed: wgt = 15 + cwgt*2 You may also lose items when you use a cursed bag of holding; each item in the bag has a 1/13 chance of disappearing each time you apply or loot the bag. Putting any of the following (and ONLY the following) items into any bag of holding will cause it to explode: (another) bag of holding bag of tricks (with non-zero charge) wand of cancellation (with non-zero charge) It is sometimes possible to put one of these items into nested sacks and/or oilskin sacks and then place them safely inside a bag of holding. The chance of an explosion occurring then depends on the amount of nesting: sacks: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 n odds: 1/1 2/2 3/4 4/8 5/16 6/32 7/64 8/128 9/128 (n+1)/128 When a bag of tricks is #looted, it will bite you (1 to 10 hit points damage) and become identified. If you (a)pply it and it has charges left, it will create one monster 22 out of 23 times, and create 2 to 8 monsters 1 out of 23 times. "Nothing happens" when you apply a bag with zero charges. Bags of tricks are generated with 1 to 20 charges. If the bag has more than 10 charges, a blessed scroll of charging will add 6 to 10 charges, otherwise it will add 6 to 15 charges; an uncursed scroll will always add 1 to 5 charges. Cannot be charged higher than 50 charges. When ungreased bags get wet, their contents may also get wet. Greasing a bag will prevent this, but there is a 50% chance each time of the grease washing off. A non-cursed oilskin sack will also prevent this; if the oilskin sack is cursed, there is a 1/3 chance that the contents can get wet. Boxes and chests are all waterproof. If a container (other than a bag of holding) is kicked, thrown, or dropped from a height, fragile contents (glass items (other than worthless glass) and eggs) may be destroyed. Kicking a locked large box or chest may also break it open (see below). Using unlocking tools ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Each of the tools, wands, and spells listed below can be used for locking and unlocking doors, large boxes, and chests. Not all methods can LOCK or UNLOCK. DOOR and BOX represent the probability (in percent) of succeeding each turn when attempting to unlock doors and large boxes or chests respectively; it may be based on your Dexterity and you will fail after 50 turns. ROGUEs may get an additional percentile bonus for using an implement (the numbers before and after the slash being added to DOOR/BOX respectively). The per-turn probability of picking the lock is halved if you use a cursed credit card, lock pick, or skeleton key. All unlocking tools are generated uncursed. TOOL LOCK UNLOCK DOOR BOX ROGUE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~ credit card No Yes 2*Dex Dex 20/20 lock pick Yes Yes 3*Dex 4*Dex 30/25 skeleton key Yes Yes 70+Dex 75+Dex 0/0 wand/spell open No Yes 100 100 0/0 wand/spell lock Yes No 100 100 0/0 Using any of the first three types will exercise your dexterity, even if you don't succeed. Please note that a credit card has no special effects in shops, although you can unlock a shop "Closed for inventory" and you can buy and sell it like any other item. If a watchman or watch captain sees you pick a door with any tool, he may get upset; if he warns you off, a trap is automatically added to the door in question. Wands of opening and locking and the spells of knock and wizard lock always work in one turn and can be performed from a distance. Zapped opening will also unlock doors in the same turn, will lower drawbridges, and can remove a ball and chain (as will ringing the blessed Bell of Opening). Zapped closing will close a door in the same turn (if there are no objects in the way; creating one if necessary) and will raise drawbridges. You can also attempt to break a lock on a large box or chest by #forcing it with a suitable weapon or kicking it open. This may EXERCISE your dexterity or strength, but may also destroy any WEAPON you use, the CONTAINER and/or some of the CONTENTS (possibly restricted to fragile ones, namely glass items (other than worthless glass) and eggs): METHOD WEAPON CONTAINER CONTENTS EXERCISE ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ Blunt weapon No Yes Yes STR Edged weapon Yes No No DEX Kicking -- No Fragile No Using light sources ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Light sources are generated to stay lit for the number of TURNS noted below. They are GENERATED in the quantity and blessed state shown. Cursed light sources will sometimes not light. LIGHT SOURCE TURNS GENERATED ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ tallow candle 200 1 to 7; 10% blessed, 80% uncursed, 10% cursed wax candle 400 1 to 7; 10% blessed, 80% uncursed, 10% cursed brass lantern 1000 to 1499 10% blessed, 80% uncursed, 10% cursed oil lamp 1000 to 1499 10% blessed, 80% uncursed, 10% cursed magic lamp Infinite 25% blessed, 50% uncursed, 25% cursed potion of oil 400 1/8 blessed, 3/4 uncursed, 1/8 cursed Sunsword Infinite 10% blessed, 80% uncursed, 10% cursed Candles can also be applied to the Candelabrum of Invocation. Brass lanterns and oil lamps can be refilled by a scroll of charging; a blessed scroll will refill them to 1500 turns, an uncursed scroll will add 750 turns to a maximum of 1500. Oil lamps with 1000 or fewer turns left can also be refilled with potions of oil, getting twice the remaining turns in the potion of oil. (Attempting to refill an oil lamp with a *lit* potion of oil, or while the lamp is lit, will cause an explosion dealing 6 to 36 points of damage). No lamp can be filled beyond 1500 turns. The artifact weapon Sunsword will act as a light source whenever wielded, either by you or by a monster. If you wish for a magic lamp, you will instead get an ordinary oil lamp. Magic lamps never run out of power, and may summon a djinni and lead to a wish when #rubbed. Each time you rub the lamp, there is a 1/3 chance that "You see a puff of smoke" and another 1/3 chance that "Nothing happens"; in either case, just try again. The remaining 1/3 of the time a djinni appears, the lamp is identified and turned into an oil lamp, and one of five outcomes can occur. The relative chance of these outcomes depends on whether the lamp was blessed, uncursed, or cursed: BLESSED UNCURSED CURSED OUTCOME ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ 80% 20% 5% Grants one wish, then disappears. "I am in your debt. I will grant one wish!" 5% 20% 5% Remains as a pet. "Thank you for freeing me!" 5% 20% 5% Remains as a peaceful monster. "You freed me!" 5% 20% 5% Speaks, then vanishes. "It is about time!" 5% 20% 80% Remains as a hostile monster. "You disturbed me, fool!" NOTE: There is no way to get a wish from the djinni other than the first outcome above. There is a limit of 120 djinn per game. Beyond this limit, they are extinct and no more can be created. Using instruments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All instruments are generated uncursed. In this section, "nearby" means within some distance from you that depends on your experience level. Depending on your system, configuration, and options, sounds may also be produced on your system's speaker. tin whistle Wakes nearby monsters and calls nearby pets. "You produce a high whistling sound." (non-cursed) "You produce a shrill whistling sound." (cursed) magic whistle non-cursed Teleports pets next to you. "You produce a strange whistling sound." (not hallucinating) "You produce a normal whistling sound." (hallucinating) cursed 50% chance of acting as non-cursed; otherwise, wakes nearby monsters and calls nearby pets. "You produce a high-pitched humming noise." horn of plenty Created with 1 to 20 charges. If more than 10 charges, blessed scrolls of charging add 6 to 10 charges, otherwise 6 to 15 charges. Uncursed scrolls of charging add 1 to 5 charges. Cannot be charged higher than 50 charges. No effect if no charges. Creates some food (including royal jelly) or a potion of water, fruit juice, booze, acid, sickness, or oil. The blessed/uncursed/cursed state of the object produced is the same as the horn. leather drum Awakens and may scare nearby monsters. Abuses wisdom. "You beat a deafening row!" drum of earthquake Created with 4 to 8 charges. Blessed scrolls of charging add 2 to 8 charges; uncursed scrolls 1 to 4 charges. Drums cannot have more than 20 charges. Creates several pits around you, and angers peaceful monsters in the vicinity. Awakens and may scare all monsters on the level. "You produce a heavy, thunderous rolling! The entire dungeon is shaking around you!" bell Doesn't work under water or when swallowed. non-cursed Wakes nearby monsters and calls nearby pets. cursed There is a 1/4 chance of summoning a nymph (with no inventory), if they aren't already genocided or extinct. There is a further chance that the bell breaks, and/or that you are paralyzed or the nymph is made fast. Wakes nearby monsters and calls nearby pets. The following instruments can be used to play notes to open the Castle drawbridge. You will hear one "gear turn" for each correct note in the right position and one "tumbler click" for each correct note in the wrong position. However, if you improvise, you will get the EFFECT shown; some monsters may resist. Charged instruments are created with 4 to 8 charges. Blessed scrolls of charging add 2 to 8 charges; uncursed scrolls 1 to 4 charges. They can never have more than 20 charges. INSTRUMENT EFFECT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ bugle Awaken and anger soldiers on level, abuse wisdom. wooden flute Make nearby snakes peaceful (if enough dexterity and experience), exercise dexterity. magic flute May put nearby monsters to sleep, exercise dexterity. tooled horn Awaken and may scare nearby monsters, abuse wisdom. frost horn Same as a wand of cold other than dealing 6 to 66 base damage (plus 6 to 33 against fire resistant monsters). fire horn Same as a wand of fire other than dealing 6 to 66 base damage (plus 6 to 33 against cold resistant monsters). wooden harp (koto) Make nearby nymphs peaceful (if enough dexterity and experience), exercise dexterity. magic harp May tame nearby monsters, exercise dexterity. Using other tools ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unless noted, all items in this section are generated uncursed. Not all of them are actual tools; a few items of other object types can also be a)pplied. beartrap or land mine If you successfully #untrap one of these traps, the trap becomes a tool. You can pick up the tool and later re-arm the trap at your current location by (a)pplying the tool. bullwhip This weapon can also be applied to get yourself out of a pit, unwield or steal another monster's weapon, hit a monster, whip your steed into a gallop, or grab objects off the floor while levitating. pick-axe You can dig by (a)pplying a pick-axe or dwarvish mattock. Specify > to dig downward (first makes a pit, then a hole), or a direction to dig through rock, walls, or doors, or to smash up statues or boulders. axe or battle-axe These weapons can also be applied to chop down doors or trees. cream pie You can apply this food item to blind yourself for 1 to 25 (more) turns. eucalyptus leaf non-blessed Acts like a tin whistle (see instruments, above). blessed Acts like a blessed magic whistle (see instruments, above). Each use has a 1/49 chance of unblessing the leaf. grappling hook You can apply this tool to grab an object at a distance, hit a monster (or, if small, drag it towards you), drag yourself in a direction, or hit yourself for 10 to 19 points of damage. If you are at least skilled in flail, you can attempt to choose between the first three options (with a 50% chance of accuracy if skilled, 95% if expert); otherwise, the effect will be randomly chosen. unicorn horn non-cursed Randomly fixes one or more of the following troubles: sickness, blindness, hallucination, vomiting, confusion, stunning, and loss of an attribute. The approximate chances of fixing a certain number of troubles are shown here: # Troub: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 blessed: 22.7% 22.7% 19.5% 15.4% 10.7% 5.7% 2.6% 0.8% uncursed: 35.4% 35.4% 22.9% 6.3% 0 0 0 0 cursed You get one of the following: illness, blindness, confusion, stunning, hallucination, or a decremented attribute. Unicorn horns don't fix stoning, sliming, strangulation, or wounded legs. #dipping a unicorn horn in a potion of blindness, confusion, or hallucination turns the potion into uncursed water. Dipping it in a potion of sickness produces non-blessed fruit juice. Unicorn horns also make a fairly good weapon. They are two-handed. expensive camera Generated with 30 to 99 charges. An uncursed scroll of charging will add 10 to 20 charges, and then bring the camera to a minimum of 50 charges. A blessed scroll of charging will add 15 to 30 charges, and then bring the camera to a minimum of 50 charges (75 if between 51 and 74). A camera may never have more than 127 charges. You can get several humorous messages by applying it in certain situations. A cursed camera has a 50% chance of blinding you when applied. Otherwise, you can blind monsters. mirror Cursed mirrors only work half of the time. You can get several humorous messages by applying it in certain situations (especially hallucinating; try underwater or at yourself while polymorphed into a floating eye). You can use a mirror to make a monster's gaze attacks work against itself (if the monster isn't cancelled): vampire or ghost No reflection Medusa Turns to stone floating eye Paralyzed, if it is not invisible umber hulk Confused nymph or succubus Steals the mirror, if she is not invisible Otherwise, you have a 4 out of 5 chance of scaring the monster in that direction for 2 to 8 turns. The monster cannot be a unicorn or humanoid, must have eyes and be unblind, and must be able to see invisible if it is invisible. Breaking any mirror (except by kicking a container) carries a -2 penalty to luck. crystal ball Generated 1/4 blessed, 1/2 uncursed, 1/4 cursed. Generated with 1 to 5 charges. (If your Quest Artifact is a crystal ball, it is always generated with 5 charges.) Blessed scrolls of charging set the ball to 6 charges. Uncursed scrolls of charging add one charge, to a maximum of 5. Applying a crystal ball will cause you to be immobile (in a trance) for 1 to 10 turns. There are several humorous messages if used when hallucinating. non-cursed You may look for an object, monster or symbol (including traps and portals, ^, but not stairs or other dungeon features). There is an (intelligence in 20) chance of success; otherwise, you suffer the same effects as a cursed crystal ball. cursed One of the following happens: nothing, you are confused, you are blinded, you hallucinate, or the ball explodes (not if an artifact). lenses These protect you from being blinded by ravens, spat venom or thrown cream pies. They increase the effectiveness of searching, and reduce the failure rate and time taken to learn spells from spellbooks. blindfold You can controllably blind yourself by (a)pplying it or (P)utting it on. A cursed blindfold cannot be removed by yourself. towel You can controllably blind yourself (like a blindfold) by (P)utting it on. A cursed towel cannot be removed by yourself. When (a)pplied, a towel can clean greasy hands (e.g., from a tin of greasy food) or clean a cream pie off your face. A cursed towel has a 1/3 chance of causing each of these problems, or else it works normally. If you (E)ngrave with a towel, you can rub out writing in the dust. saddle You can (a)pply it to a monster (equines, quadrupeds, dragons, jabberwocks, ki-rin or couatls) in order to be able to ride it in future. Chance of successfully saddling depends on dexterity, charisma, tameness of monster and riding skill; Knights receive a bonus, as does wearing riding boots or gloves. leash You can (a)pply it to a tame monster to keep it nearby. Once you have leashed a monster, you can release it by re-(a)pplying the leash. A cursed leash can't be removed by yourself, and moving too far from your pet may cause it to be choked and take damage. stethoscope A stethoscope can be (a)pplied once each turn without taking any time. If you use it more than that, each application takes one turn. You can get several humorous messages by applying it in certain situations. A cursed stethoscope has a 50% chance of only hearing your own heartbeat. Otherwise, you can use it to find the status of adjacent monsters or of yourself or your steed (though this latter use may be interfered with if engulfed by a monster), and find secret doors and passages. tinning kit Created with 30 to 99 charges. An uncursed scroll of charging will add 10 to 20 charges, and then bring the kit to a minimum of 50 charges. A blessed scroll of charging will add 15 to 30 charges, and then bring the kit to a minimum of 50 charges (75 if between 51 and 74). A tinning kit may never have more than 127 charges. You can convert corpses into tins. The corpse must be uneaten and have non-zero nutrition. The resulting tin is blessed/uncursed/cursed the same way as the tinning kit that produced it. Blessed tins are not poisonous or rotten, and can be opened in one turn. Cursed tins always contain rotten food. Tins have the same chance of giving an intrinsic as the equivalent corpse; the blessed/cursed status of the tin does NOT affect the chance. Some people tin unique monsters as souvenirs. You cannot tin the endgame Riders. tin opener Mostly useless. Wield the tin opener and you can e)at a tin in one turn. can of grease Generated 5% blessed, 90% uncursed, 5% cursed. Created with 1 to 25 charges. If more than 10 charges, blessed scrolls of charging add 6 to 10 charges, otherwise 6 to 15 charges. Uncursed scrolls of charging add 1 to 5 charges. Cannot be charged higher than 50 charges. When a)pplying a can of grease, you have a 50% chance of dropping it if it is cursed or you have fumbling. Otherwise, you can grease an item to protect it or its contents from water or acid damage. If the can of grease is cursed or you specify no object, you get your fingers greasy. Greased outer body armour will protect against grabbing attacks, and greased helmets will protect against (master) mind flayer's tentacles; however, the grease has a 50% chance of wearing off after each attack against which it protects, and grease on cursed armour will only be effective 1/3 of the time. You can also use the can of grease or a potion of oil to #untrap a squeaky board. figurine Generated 1/8 blessed, 3/4 uncursed, and 1/8 cursed. Applying a figurine creates that monster in an adjacent square of your choosing. It will fail if the square is occupied, or if the species is genocided. The chance of a tame or peaceful monster depends on the blessed state of the figurine: blessed uncursed cursed tame 80% 10% 10% peaceful 10% 80% 10% hostile 10% 10% 80% Cursed figurines can spontaneously transform when carried, after 201 to 9200 turns in inventory. magic marker Generated with 30 to 99 charges. Can only be recharged once. An uncursed scroll of charging will add 10 to 20 charges, and then bring the marker to a minimum of 50 charges. A blessed scroll of charging will add 15 to 30 charges, and then bring the marker to a minimum of 50 charges (75 if between 51 and 74). You can write scrolls and spellbooks from blank ones. See the spoilers "scrl-343.txt" and "spl1-343.txt" for details. The blessed/uncursed/ cursed status of the resulting item depends on the marker and scroll/spellbook: blessed uncursed cursed blessed blessed blessed uncursed uncursed blessed uncursed cursed cursed uncursed cursed cursed You can also (E)ngrave graffiti on the floor with a magic marker. Invocation items ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The three unique invocation items (Bell, Book, and Candelabrum) cannot be placed in a container or destroyed in any way. They have special effects when (a)pplied or #invoked and you are NOT on the vibrating square: Bell of Opening Obtained from your Quest Nemesis. Created with 3 charges. Blessed scrolls of charging add 1 to 3 charges, uncursed scrolls of charging add 1 charge. Cannot be charged higher than 5 charges. uncharged Acts like a regular bell. Will not break. blessed If you are swallowed, you are expelled. " opens its mouth!" (if animal) Else you unlock and open nearby containers and doors, find nearby secret passages and non-statue traps, open nearby drawbridges, and are unpunished. Items must be in your visual range. uncursed If you are swallowed, you are expelled. " opens its mouth!" (if animal) Else same effect as a wand of secret door detection -- you find nearby secret doors, secret passages, non-statue traps, mimics, and hiding and invisible monsters. cursed If you are swallowed, "Nothing happens." Else you summon undead and wake nearby monsters. Candelabrum of Invocation Obtained from Vlad the Impaler. blessed or uncursed The Candelabrum acts like an ordinary light source if at least one candle is applied to it. It will last as many turns as the first candle that was applied would have burned. cursed The Candelabrum won't light. Book of the Dead Obtained from the Wizard of Yendor. blessed Undead creatures in your sight are made peaceful; nearby ones sharing your alignment may be tamed, others may flee. uncursed No effect. "Your ancestors are annoyed with you!" "The headstones in the cemetery begin to move!" "Oh my! Your name appears in the book!" cursed You summon undead. To complete the invocation, you must be standing on the vibrating square and have the non-cursed Candelabrum of Invocation with seven candles attached (the candles can be any type(s), and even cursed), the non-cursed Bell of Opening with at least one charge, and the non-cursed Book of the Dead. The Candelabrum burns out twice as fast when on the vibrating square. The Bell must be rung within 5 turns before the invocation. The Book must be read last. Sascha Wostmann described a good way to remember the sequence: 1. Make some light, to read by. 2. Ring the bell, to get the attention of an audience. 3. Finally, read the book. Good luck!

This spoiler only considers the special rooms that can be generated randomly in the main Dungeons of Doom. Certain special levels have their own predefined special rooms (shops in Minetown and the Tourist Quest, zoos in Sokoban and the Wizard's Tower, and many others). Special rooms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The usual name describing the room is given first, then in brackets the chance of creation, the range of Dungeon Levels within the Dungeons of Doom in which the room is eligible to be created, and any other constraints on generation. Following this is a list of messages (level sounds) which may be given when on a level which has that room, and messages given when entering the room (as opposed to greetings from its occupant, if any). The chances listed are cumulative; once one type of special room has been created, no others are eligible to be created, and they are considered in order. No special rooms from this list will be created on the Oracle, Big Room, Rogue, Medusa or Castle levels. Shop (3/DL, DL 2+, not below Medusa, suitable room) "You hear someone cursing shoplifters." "You hear the chime of a cash register." "You hear Neiman and Marcus arguing!" (hallucinating) "This shop appears to be deserted." (entering, no shopkeeper) Contains a shopkeeper and stock. See the section "Shops" below for what that stock may consist of. Throne room (1/6, DL 5+) "You hear the tones of courtly conversation." "You hear a sceptre pounded in judgment." "Someone shouts "Off with head!"" "You hear Queen Beruthiel's cats!" (hallucinating) "You enter an opulent throne room!" (entering) Contains a throne and a chest. Filled with sleeping monsters selected (according to depth) from the classes koCDGHT and bugbears. Leprechaun hall (1/8, DL 6+, leprechauns not genocided/extinct) No level sounds. "You enter a leprechaun hall!" (entering) Filled with sleeping leprechauns and gold. Zoo (1/7, DL 7+) "You hear a sound reminiscent of an elephant stepping on a peanut." "You hear a sound reminiscent of a seal barking." "You hear Doctor Doolittle!" (hallucinating) "Welcome to David's treasure zoo!" (entering) Filled with random sleeping monsters and gold. Temple (1/5, DL 9+) No level sounds. "You have a forbidding feeling." (entering, priest of different alignment to altar) "You have a strange forbidding feeling." (entering, priest present, cross-aligned or your alignment worse than -3) "You experience a strange sense of peace." (entering, priest present otherwise) "You have an eerie feeling..." (entering, lost priest) "You feel like you are being watched." (entering, lost priest) "A shiver runs down your ." (entering, lost priest) Contains an altar and a priest or priestess aligned with it. If in a co-aligned temple and your alignment is better than -4, you receive sanctuary; monsters will not enter, and monsters already in the temple will not attack you directly (although they can still use ranged attacks). Some monsters (Riders, high priests, all A) ignore sanctuary. Beehive (1/5, DL 10+, killer bees not genocided/extinct) "You hear a low buzzing." "You hear an angry drone." "You hear bees in your bonnet!" (hallucinating, wearing helmet) "You hear bees in your (nonexistent) bonnet!" (hallucinating, no helmet) "You enter a giant beehive!" (entering) Contains lumps of royal jelly (created on roughly 1/3 squares). Filled with sleeping killer bees and one sleeping queen bee. Graveyard (1/6, DL 12+) "You suddenly realize it is unnaturally quiet." "The on the back of your stands up." "The on your seems to stand up." (hallucinating) "You have an uncanny feeling..." (entering between 0100-2359) " away! away!" (entering between 0000-0059) Contains corpses (created on roughly 1/5 of squares), chests or boxes (1/10) and graves (1/5). Filled with sleeping monsters selected (according to depth) from the classes ZV&, wraiths, and ghosts. Anthole (1/8, DL 13+) No level sounds. "You enter an anthole!" (entering) Contains food (created on roughly 1/3 of squares). Filled with sleeping giant ants, soldier ants or fire ants (equal chances of each). Barracks (1/4, DL 15+, soldiers not genocided/extinct) "You hear blades being honed." "You hear loud snoring." "You hear dice being thrown." "You hear General MacArthur!" (hallucinating) "You enter a military barracks!" (entering) "You enter an abandoned barracks." (entering, empty) Contains chests or boxes (created on roughly 1/20 of squares). Filled with sleeping monsters selected (according to depth) from soldiers, sergeants, lieutenants, and captains. Swamp (1/6, DL 16+) "You hear mosquitoes!" "You smell marsh gas!" "You hear Donald Duck!" (hallucinating) "It looks rather muddy down here." (entering) "It feels rather humid down here." (entering, blind) Up to five rooms on the level become swamp rooms, with a chequered pattern of pools possibly containing giant eels, electric eels, or piranhas, alternating with dry land possibly containing a random fungus. Cockatrice nest (1/8, DL 17+, cockatrices not genocided/extinct) No level sounds. "You enter a disgusting nest!" (entering) Contains statues of player-monsters (created on roughly 1/3 of squares) containing up to four random items. Filled with sleeping cockatrices. Vault (independent approximately 35% chance) "You hear the footsteps of a guard on patrol." "You hear Ebenezer Scrooge!" (hallucinating) "You hear someone searching." (looted) "You hear someone counting money." (unlooted) "You hear the quarterback calling the play." (unlooted, hallucinating) 2x2 isolated room containing gold (amount depending on depth). May contain the portal to Fort Ludios (1/3 chance for each vault created between level 11 and Medusa, except on the level with the Quest portal, unless portal already created). Miscellaneous level sounds ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You hear bubbling water." (fountain) "You hear water falling on coins." (fountain) "You hear the splashing of a naiad." (fountain) "You hear a soda fountain!" (fountain, hallucinating) "You hear a slow drip." (sink) "You hear a gurgling noise." (sink) "You hear dishes being washed!" (sink, hallucinating) "You hear a strange wind." (Oracle) "You hear convulsive ravings." (Oracle) "You hear snoring snakes." (Oracle) "You hear someone say "No more woodchucks!"" (Oracle, hallucinating) "You hear a loud ZOT!" (Oracle, hallucinating) Shops ~~~~~ Shops have a base 3/DL chance of being created between level 2 and Medusa, provided there is a suitable room to put them in (no stairs, only one door), and provided that there are enough rooms on the level to start with (minimum 3, 4 for a branch level). Note that this means that there will always be a shop on each of levels 2 and 3 if the conditions are right (which in practice turns out to only be the case about 45% of the time). There are eleven types of shop; of these, one (lighting) can only appear in Minetown. Their probabilities of random creation and their stock distribution are: SHOP PROB STOCK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:~~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ general : 44% : 100% random used armor dealership : 14 : 90% armour, 10% weapons second-hand bookstore : 10 : 90% scrolls, 10% spellbooks liquor emporium : 10 : 100% potions antique weapons outlet : 5 : 90% weapons, 10% armour delicatessen : 5 : 83% food, 5% fruit juice, 5% water, : : 4% booze, 3% ice box jewelers : 3 : 85% rings, 10% gems, 5% amulets quality apparel and accessories: *3 : 90% wands, 5% leather gloves, : : 5% elven cloak hardware store : 3 : 100% tools rare books : *3 : 90% spellbooks, 10% scrolls lighting store : 0 : 40% tallow candle, 32% wax candle, : : 10% oil lamp, 5% brass lantern, : : 3% magic lamp PROB is the percentage chance of a random shop being of this type. Shops with probabilities marked * may not be larger than 20 squares; if they would otherwise be (about half the time), they are converted into general stores instead.

Updated for 3.4.3 by Dylan O'Donnell . Breaking wands ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from a spoiler by Jeffrey Robertson.) You can destroy a wand by (a)pplying it. You will be prompted for confirmation, and you must have hands and a strength of at least 10. Wands with no charges and some wands listed below have no effect ("But nothing else happens..."). Most wands will produce an explosion when broken. The explosion causes damage to yourself and any monsters that were in the adjacent squares when you broke the wand. This damage can be reduced or eliminated if you (or the monster) has an appropriate resistance. Damage is also reduced to 1/2 for Healers and Knights and to 1/5 for Monks, Priests, and Wizards. Further effects can occur as if you had zapped yourself with the wand. The explosion can also affect objects in your inventory, on your square, and on adjacent squares, and affect locations as if they were zapped. Finally, some types of wands have explosions that make you identify the wand. Specific effects are detailed below. In any case, you destroy the wand and owe the cost if it was unpaid. WAND EFFECTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ cancellation There is an explosion from 1 to (4*charges) damage. Monsters and objects in the affected squares are cancelled. cold There is an explosion of cold with (8 * charges) damage. Potions may freeze. You identify the wand. create monster There is an explosion from 1 to (4*charges) damage. You are surrounded by monsters. death There is an explosion of death with (16 * charges) damage.

Monsters (including you) can be cancelled when hit by wands or spells of cancellation, and sometimes by Magicbane. The monster may resist. Also, when a gremlin (including you) manages to steal an intrinsic from a monster, the monster is automatically cancelled as well. Cancelled monsters cannot use most of their special attacks against you (ongoing effects of previous attacks will continue, however): Blind you with light Cast spells at you Charm you Confuse you Drain your constitution Drain your dexterity Explode in your face Paralyse you Poison you Put you to sleep Rust, rot or disenchant something, offensive or defensive Seduce you Slime you Slow you down Spit at you Steal an item (other than the Unique Items) Steal intrinsics Steal your gold Stick to you Stun you Teleport you away Use acid offensively against you Use its breath weapon Use its cold attack, offensive or defensive Use its electricity attack, offensive or defensive Use its fire attack or gaze, offensive or defensive Wrap itself around you Many monsters also lose abilities specific to their species as well: Medusa's gaze cannot turn you to stone Medusa cannot be turned to stone with a reflecting item A black or brown pudding cannot divide A clay golem will die A chickatrice or cockatrice can't turn you to stone by hissing A demon cannot summon other demons A floating eye cannot be paralysed with a mirror A lycanthrope cannot change you into another one A lycanthrope cannot summon help A lycanthrope cannot polymorph into their wereform by attacking A mimic cannot revert to mimicking an object A nurse won't heal you with its attack A nymph or succubus won't steal your mirror if you apply it A tengu cannot teleport An umber hulk cannot be confused with a mirror A xan's prick doesn't weaken you Note that some attacks aren't susceptible to cancellation: Defensive acid splashing Disease attacks Famine's hunger attack Mind-flaying attacks Physical blinding attacks Physical damage attacks The Oracle's magic defences Touch of Death Wizard or Quest Nemesis stealing the Amulet, Bell, Book or Candelabrum When a monster cannot use a certain attack on you, it normally cannot use it on another monster either. A wand or spell of cancellation will also affect objects on the floor, or objects in your inventory if you zap yourself. However, it does not affect other monster's inventories or the contents of containers. Affected objects will always become uncursed. Specific effects are described below: OBJECT RESULT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ weapon uncursed +0 weapon, same erodeproofing armor uncursed +0 armor, same erodeproofing scroll of mail uncursed scroll of mail other scrolls uncursed scroll of blank paper spellbook of cancellation uncursed spellbook of cancellation Book of the Dead uncursed Book of the Dead other spellbooks uncursed spellbook of blank paper potion of sickness uncursed potion of fruit juice, same dilution potion of see invisible uncursed potion of fruit juice, same dilution potion of fruit juice uncursed potion of fruit juice, same dilution potion of booze uncursed potion of booze, same dilution potion of oil uncursed potion of oil, same dilution other potions uncursed potion of water charged ring uncursed +0 ring wand of cancellation uncursed, still charged other wands uncursed, uncharged, can't wrest last charge Bell of Opening uncursed Bell of Opening (0) Candelabrum of Invocation uncursed, same number of candles attached charged magic tools uncursed, uncharged charged non-magic tools uncursed, still charged uncharged tools uncursed, unaltered containers uncursed, still same type, contents unchanged Note that cancellation won't work on corpses; if it is resurrected, the monster will still function exactly the same as if the monster had not been cancelled when it was still alive. Polymorphing ~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can use a wand or spell of polymorph on both monsters and objects. The beam acts over a maximum distance of 6 to 13 squares, and cannot be reflected. Polymorph traps may also affect monsters, but not objects. Potions of polymorph can be quaffed to polymorph yourself, thrown at a target, or used to dip an object into. Quaffing from a sink has a 1/20 chance of polymorphing you. When a monster (including you) is affected, the monster may change into a different species. Magic resistance will prevent a monster from polymorphing, unless the monster zapped itself (or yourself). Some monsters may also resist the attack, as well. A polymorphing monster has a 1/25 chance of dying of system shock, unless it is a natural shapeshifter. Objects in the monster's or your inventory are not affected, nor are objects dropped as a result of the polymorph. There are several special cases when you are polymorphed. If you are wearing an amulet of unchanging, you will not polymorph. If you have polymorph control, you can choose the creature you wish to be polymorphed into. If you are wearing dragon armour, you will become that type of dragon (unless you have polymorph control) and will lose your cloak and shirt; the armour will merge with your skin and be unharmed if not broken by a further polymorph. If you have lycanthropy, you turn into that were-creature (or vice versa); if you are a vampire, you become a vampire bat (or vice versa). If you have none of the above, you have a (19 - Constitution) in 20 chance of getting system shock ("You shudder for a moment", lose 1 to 30 HP, and abuse your constitution); if this does not occur, there is a 1/5 chance (which also applies to controlled polymorphs) that you become a "new man/woman/" rather than a different monster, and your level, hit points, energy, and statistics will be randomly adjusted. How long you are polymorphed depends on your experience level and the level of the monster you became (this prevents abuse by low-level characters); you will not revert while you have unchanging. You can always return to your natural form by losing all of your hit points (in a pinch by throwing objects upwards (<) and letting them hit you) unless you have unchanging; in this case, you will simply die. Other monsters remain the same species indefinitely (except true shapeshifters). You can also polymorph objects. Many people call this "polypiling", because they painstakingly collect items, line them up into several piles, and polymorph them all at once. Each item may become a new item in the same object class. The objects retain their blessed/cursed state, erosion, erosionproofing, traps, and poisoning. Wands keep their number of charges, whereas weapons and armor keep their enchantment. Worn items are removed on polymorphing. Magical objects (see the next section) will tend not to polymorph into non-magical ones, and vice versa; the probabilities of this for the object classes that have members of each kind are as below. class magical -> non-magical non-magical -> magical ~~~~~ : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ armour : 54% 0.6% gem : 92% negligible potion : 1.7% 41% scroll : negligible 92% spellbook : negligible 95% tool : 60% 0.3% wand : negligible 93% You will eventually lose some objects. Items appearing in quantities of 2 or more have a (quantity in 1000) chance of merging into one object. Items also have a probability of "shuddering": 1/3 if a wand or cursed, 1/8 if uncursed, 1/12 if blessed (if in quantities greater than 4, 100%, 1/4, and 1/6, respectively). This will decrease the quantity of the item randomly, cause any remainder not to be polymorphed, and has a one in (luck + 45) chance per object of creating a golem from the material of the shuddered item (provided at least two items total remain in the pile). Scrolls of mail will never merge or shudder. There are some limitations to polypiling. You can't change scrolls of mail, wands of polymorph, potions of polymorph, spellbooks of polymorph, Rider corpses, the invocation items, or the Amulet of Yendor. Artifacts have a much higher chance of resisting polymorph than non-artifacts; the result of a polymorph will never be an artifact. Eggs laid by you become other types of eggs, still laid by you. Spellbooks will become more faded, wands have their recharge count incremented. Magic markers will be considered to have been recharged once. Crocodile corpses become non-cursed fireproof +0 low boots. Containers lose all of their contents. There are limits to converting stones (e.g. rocks and luckstones) into gems and glass; you won't get more than four. Note that balls and chains become (surprise!) balls and chains. You can never create the following objects through polypiling: magic lamps wands of wishing wands of polymorph potions of polymorph spellbooks of polymorph and, since the probabilities of the new item are the same as for random generation of that object class, you'll never get anything you wouldn't find randomly created in the dungeon either. Magical objects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from a spoiler by Peter Snelling) To maximise the results from polymorphing objects, it's useful to know which objects the game considers "magical" and which not. Magical armour (all other being non-magical): cloak of displacement dunce cap alchemy smock cornuthaum cloak of invisibility helm of brilliance cloak of magic resistance helm of opposite alignment elven cloak helm of telepathy robe cloak of protection elven boots kicking boots gauntlets of dexterity fumble boots gauntlets of fumbling levitation boots gauntlets of power jumping boots speed boots shield of reflection water walking boots all dragon scale mail (but not dragon scales) Magical tools (all other being non-magical): bag of holding magic whistle bag of tricks magic flute magic lamp frost horn crystal ball fire horn unicorn horn horn of plenty figurine magic harp magic marker drum of earthquake Magical stones (the remaining gems and stones are non-magical): luckstone loadstone touchstone Non-magical potions (all other being magical): booze fruit juice sickness water acid oil No weapon, food, boulder, or statue is magical. All non-blank scrolls are magical (except non-polyable scrolls of mail). All non-blank spellbooks are magical. All wands except nothing are magical. All rings (except meat rings, which are food) are magical. All non-fake amulets are magical. All Unique Items are magical, but can't be polymorphed anyway.

The COST field denotes the base price of each item. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1). Scrolls comprise 16% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 18% in containers, 22% on the Rogue level, and 1% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype. Scrolls appear 1/8 cursed, 3/4 uncursed, and 1/8 blessed. Scrolls of mail exist only if this ability was compiled into your copy of the game, and if you have the "mail" option enabled. When new email arrives (or every 1999+d(3000) turns if playing on an Amiga or DOS platform), the "mail daemon" will deliver a scroll of mail. All of these scrolls are considered uncursed, and they cannot be changed into another object in any way. MRKR specifies the value used to determine the number of magic marker charges needed to write a scroll of that type, or zero if it cannot be written. The actual number of charges used will be a random amount from MRKR/2 to MRKR-1; if your marker has fewer than MRKR/2 charges, you will be unable to attempt to write the scroll. Wizards have a base 1/3 chance of writing an unknown scroll, and all other classes have a base 1/15 chance; your chance generally improves with higher luck, to a maximum of about 98% for Wizards and 32% for other classes. You can only write scrolls on blank paper, which can be made by getting any scroll wet (except mail) or cancelling any scroll (except mail). Failure to write the scroll will cause the blank scroll to be used up. You can select non-blank scrolls to write on, but this will abuse your wisdom and you will be told, "That scroll is not blank!" Some types of scrolls have the same APPEARANCE when unidentified. The appearance of the remaining scrolls are are randomized from the following descriptions: ZELGO MER JUYED AWK YACC NR 9 XIXAXA XOXAXA XUXAXA PRATYAVAYAH DAIYEN FOOELS LEP GEX VEN ZEA PRIRUTSENIE ELBIB YLOH VERR YED HORRE VENZAR BORGAVVE THARR YUM YUM KERNOD WEL ELAM EBOW DUAM XNAHT ANDOVA BEGARIN KIRJE VE FORBRYDERNE HACKEM MUCHE VELOX NEB FOOBIE BLETCH TEMOV GARVEN DEH READ ME Scroll messages and effects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "scrolls", by Ian Burrell.) In order to read a scroll, you must either be unblind or know the APPEARANCE of the scroll. When a scroll is read, it will be used up and disappear (except blank paper). The effects depend on the blessing of the scroll. Non-cursed means either blessed or uncursed. If you are confused while reading the scroll, "you mispronounce the magic words" and may obtain a different effect. Some scrolls have a different message for "beginners"; a character is considered a beginner until accumulating 2000 score points (1000 for Wizards). amnesia All Sokoban maps are immune from the effects of amnesia. cursed or you are NOT confused You forget all of the current level. non-cursed and confused You forget 6/7 of the current level. In addition, if uncursed or cursed You forget any number of spells. In every case, You have a 1/3 chance of forgetting up to 25% of all known level maps and a separate 1/3 chance of forgetting up to 25% of object identities. You forget all traps on your current level, forget whether you are punished, and abuse your wisdom. "Your mind releases itself from mundane concerns." (hallucinating) "As your mind turns inward on itself, you forget everything else." (your character's name is Maud); "Who was that Maud person anyway?" (otherwise, 50%) "Thinking of Maud you forget everything else." (otherwise, 50%) The scroll is (re-)identified. blank paper You identify the scroll; it will not be used up. "This scroll seems to be blank." (unblind) "You don't remember there being any magic words on this scroll." (blind) charging blessed You identify the scroll and select an item. "This is a charging scroll." If the item can't be charged, no effect. "You have a feeling of loss." Otherwise, the item is charged by a larger amount (see wan1-343.txt, tool-343.txt, or ring-343.txt for specifics). Wands and rings may explode (see below). "Your spins clockwise for a moment." "Your glows blue for a moment." (unblind) "Your vibrates for a moment." (blind) uncursed You identify the scroll and select an item. "This is a charging scroll." If the item can't be charged, no effect. "You have a feeling of loss." Otherwise, the item is charged by a smaller amount (see wan1-343.txt, tool-343.txt, or ring-343.txt for specifics). Wands and rings may explode (see below). "Your spins clockwise for a moment." "Your glows white for a moment." (unblind) "Your glows blue for a moment." (unblind) "Your glows briefly." (unblind) "Your vibrates briefly." (blind) cursed You identify the scroll and select an item. "This is a charging scroll." If it is a ring, it loses 1 to 2 points of enchantment and may explode (see below). "Your spins counterclockwise for a moment." For other items, if it is blessed or has zero charges, no effect other than incrementing the recharged counter (although wands may explode; see below). "Nothing happens." Otherwise, it is set to zero charges. Wands may explode (see below). "Your vibrates briefly." confused If your energy is at maximum, you gain 5d4 maximum energy. Your energy is increased to maximum. "You feel charged up!" Previously-recharged wands have a chance of exploding if you attempt to charge them further; wands of wishing will always explode, others have a chance depending on the number of times (x) recharged: (x^3)/(7^3).

(Once this number reaches 40, each blessed scroll will only allow confusion of one additional monster.) "Your glow a brilliant red." (unblind) "Your glow an even more brilliant red."

No messages. The scroll is identified if the new monsters are seen. destroy armor not wearing armor Abuses your strength and constitution. "You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes." (beginner not hallucinating) "You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes." (beginner hallucinating) "Your bones itch." (confused) "Your skin itches."

"Your shirt crumbles into tiny threads and falls apart!" "Your helmet turns to dust and is blown away!" "Your gloves vanish!" "Your boots disintegrate!" "Your shield crumbles away!" cursed Selects one random worn piece of armor. If the armor is not cursed, then same effect as an uncursed scroll. Otherwise, you are stunned for 10 to 19 (more) turns and your armor loses one enchantment if it is -6 or greater. "Your vibrates." non-cursed and confused Removes (rust|fire)proofing from one random worn piece of armor. "Your glows purple for a moment." (unblind) "Your vibrates for a moment." (blind) cursed and confused Makes one random worn armor (rust|fire)proof. "Your glows purple for a moment." (unblind) "Your vibrates for a moment." (blind) Does NOT repair damage. earth blessed Creates a boulder on each open square around you. "The ceiling rumbles around you!" uncursed Creates a boulder on the same square as you and on each open square around you. "The ceiling rumbles above you!" cursed Creates a boulder on the same square as you. "The ceiling rumbles above you!" blessed and confused Creates 2-6 rocks on each open square around you. "The ceiling rumbles around you!" uncursed and confused Creates 2-6 rocks on the same square as you and each open square around you. "The ceiling rumbles above you!" cursed and confused Creates 2-6 rocks on the same square as you. "The ceiling rumbles above you!" No effect on the Rogue level or in the endgame outside the Plane of Earth. In Sokoban, there is a -1 penalty to Luck. Boulders do d20 damage, rocks d3 each; damage is capped at 2 if the monster/player underneath is wearing a metal helmet. Only solid, non-amorphous, non-phasing creatures are damaged. enchant armor not wearing armor Exercises (abuses if cursed) strength and constitution. "You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes." (beginner not hallucinating) "You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes." (beginner hallucinating) "Your skin glows then fades." (unblind) "Your skin feels warm for a moment." (blind) blessed One exterior piece of worn armor is selected semi-randomly. If enchantment already above +3 (+5 for elven armor or a Wizard's cornuthaum), there is a 1 in (current enchantment) chance that it WON'T be vaporized.

The name of each ARTIFACT may have been abbreviated to fit in the table above; see below for the official name. Artifacts are special instances of ordinary objects, and have all of the behaviors and properties of the ordinary ITEM in addition to those granted by the particular artifact; they are however considerably more valuable, as indicated by the COST field. The GENER field specifies all of the possible ways that a particular artifact may be generated. Each artifact can only be generated _once_ per game -- it cannot be generated again, even if the player never found the artifact, if the artifact is stolen, or if the artifact is destroyed. Note that in some cases, an ordinary object may be converted into an artifact, but no artifact will be converted into another artifact. The meaning of the letters are as follows: a Humanoid angelic species have a 5% chance of being generated with a blessed, rustproof Demonbane or Sunsword; 100% for Archons. b All artifacts on the current level are saved when a character dies and creates a bones file. If a new character visits the same level and loads the bones file, the same artifacts will be created, except under the following conditions. If the artifact was already created in the new player's game or is the new player's Quest Artifact, then the artifact reverts to its ordinary object. The Unique Items (Bell of Opening, Candelabrum of Invocation, Book of the Dead, and Amulet of Yendor) will revert into ordinary objects (cursed bell, pile of used candles, cursed spellbook of blank paper, and cursed fake amulet of Yendor, respectively). c If you pray and your god is very pleased, you may be crowned and get a good artifact, though Wizards and Monks may instead receive a spellbook of finger of death or restore ability respectively. If a lawful character is wielding an ordinary long sword when crowned, it becomes Excalibur. Neutrals get Vorpal Blade, regardless of what they are wielding (if already wielding it, it goes "snicker-snack!"). Chaotics get Stormbringer, regardless of what they are wielding. You can only be crowned once. If you were restricted to unskilled in the weapon class of your alignment's artifact, the restriction is removed so you may advance to basic skill. d If you #dip a single ordinary long sword in a fountain, are at least experience level 5, and Excalibur doesn't already exist in your game, then there is a 1/6 chance of something special happening to your long sword. If you are lawful, the long sword is converted into the blessed, rustless, uncorroded, damageproof Excalibur and you exercise your wisdom. If you are neutral or chaotic, your long sword is cursed, loses its rustproofing, may lose an enchantment, and you abuse your wisdom. g This Unique Item is an essential part of the game, and can only be obtained by killing (or stealing it from) the appropriate Nemesis. These items are specially protected from being destroyed. They also do not count toward the number of artifacts that have been generated. n An ordinary item can be converted into this artifact by #naming it. The item must be singular, not already an artifact, of the same type as the new artifact, and the new artifact must not already exist. Answer that you want to #name a single item, and provide the short name of the artifact (i.e. "Sting" instead of "elven dagger named Sting"). o This item may be given (non-cursed, and erodeproof if applicable) as a gift from your god when #offering corpses. You must sacrifice a fresh corpse at a co-aligned altar, be in good standing with your god, have non-negative luck, and be at least experience level 3. You will only get artifacts that are of your alignment or none, and some classes get certain artifacts as their first gift (if available). Your first gift will always be co-aligned. Orcs will never receive elven weapons, or vice versa. The chance that you will be given a gift depends on the number of artifacts already created in the game and how many of them were gifts; the chance is 1/(10+(2*artifacts*gifts)). If you receive a weapon artifact this way and were restricted in its weapon class to unskilled, the restriction is removed so you may advance to basic skill. r This artifact may be randomly generated in place of a regular item (1/20 chance for each weapon). In particular, antique weapons outlets appear to frequently carry artifacts because a large number of weapons are randomly generated there. The player-monsters on the Astral Plane also have a 50% chance that the weapon they are generated will be upgraded to one of these random artifacts. q This is a Quest Artifact. If you are of the same class as the artifact, you can only obtain it by completing your Quest. Otherwise it can only be obtained by bones levels or wishing. If you are neither the same class nor the same alignment, you cannot pick it up, wield it, or wear it. w This artifact can be wished for. You may specify either the short name of the artifact (e.g. "Magicbane") or the long name ("athame named Magicbane"); capitalization does not matter. You cannot wish for Unique Items or your own Quest Artifact; there are also limitations on wishing for other classes' Quest Artifacts based on your class and alignment (see "q" above). The chance of getting an artifact from each wish depends on the number of artifacts already created in the game: ARTIFACTS 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 n CHANCE 100% 100% 2/3 2/4 2/5 2/6 2/7 2/(n+1) The first letter of the ALN column indicates the alignment of the artifact (Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic), if any. When playing a class which can have multiple alignments, the alignment of the Quest Artifact will be adjusted to match the character's starting alignment. A second letter specifies the class aligned to the artifact; alignments of these artifacts will also be adjusted if necessary. It also indicates which Quest Artifact belongs to each class, and for artifacts available as sacrifice gifts denotes that the artifact is the guaranteed first gift for that class. Intelligent artifacts are indicated with a ! symbol. All three conditions are considered each time you attempt to wish for, pick up, wield, wear, invoke, apply, or steal an artifact: * If the artifact is intelligent, then in order to touch the artifact safely, you must have the same alignment as the artifact, must be of the same class (or no class is specified), must have non-negative alignment, and must not be in the form of something the artifact specially attacks. Otherwise, you will be blasted by the artifact's power, sustain 4d10 damage (2d10 if you have magic resistance), and abuse your wisdom. If you are of the wrong class and fail at least one of the other conditions above, then the artifact will furthermore "evade your grasp!" and you will not be able to use it at all. * If the artifact is not intelligent, then you have only a 1/4 chance of being blasted if you have a different alignment from the artifact or have negative alignment (these two criteria not applying for unaligned artifacts), or are in the form of something the artifact specially attacks; damage is 4d4 (2d4 if you have magic resistance). In any case, you will be able to use the artifact. * Orcrist and Sting will never blast non-orcs. Intelligent artifacts furthermore have an 80% chance of resisting being cursed by "malignant aura"-type curses. The +HIT column specifies any bonuses when calculating to-hit, and +DAM lists any bonuses or multiplier to damage. For some artifacts, these adjustments only apply when hitting a specific type of monster. See weap-343.txt to find out how these values are used in weapons calculations. Additional damage due to level drain, bisecting, or beheading are not included in the table above, but are listed in the weapon descriptions below. Note that the chance of certain weapon artifact effects are based on your to-hit die roll. This means that if you always hit a monster, the effect occurs with the published percentage; however, if you only hit a monster 1 in 20, then every hit you make causes the effect. The ATTACK and DEFEND fields list a brief summary of the offensive and defensive effects of each artifact; see the sections below for full descriptions of each artifact's abilities. The effects of the Bell of Opening, Candelabrum of Invocation, and Book of the Dead are documented in tool-343.txt. The powers of the Amulet of Yendor are listed in amul-343.txt.

This spoiler covers all the intrinsics that are neither dragon resistances (see drgn-343.txt) nor conferred by wearing rings (see rint-343.txt). It does not cover statuses (confusion, hallucination, etc); the dividing line is sometimes blurry, but as a general rule of thumb if it appears on the status line it's a status, not an intrinsic. Note that, as a general rule, any intrinsics acquired solely by experience level can be lost by being drained below that level. amphibiousness acquired by Polymorphing into a floating eye, water elemental, newt, (baby) crocodile, or any ;. effects You can enter water safely. Eels' drowning attacks will not drown you.

Wearing lenses or a visored helmet (physical-based only). effects Light-based resistance protects against the blinding attacks of yellow lights and Archons, and blinding from lightning bolts, engraving with a wand of lightning, failed use of a crystal ball, magic traps, and expensive cameras. Physical-based resistance protects against the blinding attack of ravens and cobras, but not against dust vortices or thrown cream pies. Note that being blinded already, or being polymorphed into a form that has no eyes, is an absolute defence against blinding. clairvoyance acquired by Wearing a cornuthaum as a Wizard. Donating between 200*XL and (400*XL)-1 zorkmids, more than 1/3 your current visible gold, to a priest (lasts 500 to 999 (more) turns per donation).

Walking on ice without either wearing snow boots or being polyed into a monster with cold resistance (not lasting effect). effects Abuses dexterity every five turns. Every d20 turns, you'll slip or trip if you attempt to move that turn; if you're carrying more than a certain amount, you'll make noise and alert nearby monsters; if you're riding, you'll fall off. You fall going downstairs. Your dexterity is abused if you try to move through a closed door. Saddling ridable monsters is less likely to succeed. Attempting to mount a steed will always fail.

Holy water vapour will cause you to return to natural form, but will not cure lycanthropy. Quaffed or vaporous unholy water will cause you to assume animal form.

M--- d4 2.5 d4 2.5 Weapons are listed above first by skill class, then by increasing damage. Alternative Japanese names are listed in parentheses (). The COST field denotes the base price of each weapon. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1); an asterisk (*) signifies that the weapon requires two hands to wield. Weapons comprise 10% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 0% in containers, 12% on the Rogue level, and 20% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype. If an object is mergable, then 6d6 (6 to 36) quantity is generated. Weapons have a roughly 10% chance of being blessed, roughly 10% of being cursed, and roughly 10% chance of a non-zero enchantment (exponentially distributed). Poisonable weapons (all arrows, crossbow bolts, darts, and shuriken) have a 1% chance of being generated poisoned. Pick axes, unicorn horns, grappling hooks, gems, glass, rocks, two-weapon combat, riding, bare-handed combat, and martial arts are also listed here for their weapon skills and damage, even though they are not technically weapons. The MATL column describes the material of the weapon. This affects whether the weapon can be damaged (eroded); see the section below to find out how to repair and prevent damage. MATL DESCRIPTION ERODES? ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ BONE Horn or bone No IRON Iron Rusts/Corrodes LEAT Leather Burns/Rots METL Other metal No MINL Mineral No NONE Not an item or unusual material No PLAS Plastic or rubber No SILV Silver No WOOD Wood Burns/Rots Some character classes know the true identity of some or all weapons at the start of the game. Weapons whose identity has not yet been established will have the APPEARANCE listed. Each character class has a limit to the amount of skill that can be obtained in each weapon class. The maximum skill level is noted under the ABCH KMPRaRo STVW columns: - for restricted (cannot advance beyond unskilled), b for basic skill, s for skilled, E for expert, M for master, and G for grand master. Weapon skills are explained further below. Finally, information about each weapon's ability to hit and cause damage is listed. A few weapons have an additional bonus to hit, listed in the +HIT column. The base amount of damage to small ("tiny", "small", and "medium") and large ("large", "huge", and "gigantic") monsters is given in the SDAM and LDAM fields, and is expressed in terms of die rolls. For example, 2d6 means 2 dice which can each range from 1 to 6, for a total from 2 to 12. The average amount of damage (useful for comparing weapons) against small and large monsters is given under SAVG and LAVG. Weapon skills ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "First lesson," Jon said. "Stick them with the pointy end." -- George R.R. Martin, "A Game of Thrones" The table of weapons above is organized by "skill classes". Continued use of a weapon gives you practice in its skill class. With enough practice in a skill class and experience levels, you may have the opportunity to advance your skill level in that skill class. This will in turn lead to an improvement in your chance to hit and the damage produced by weapons in that class.

A hit is considered successful if it causes more than one point of damage to a monster, regardless if the weapon is wielded or thrown. The particular damage value used for this determination is described in "Calculating damage" below. The number of HITS needed to advance to a particular SKILL LEVEL is shown in the tables above; this is cumulative from the beginning of the game (although if you start at basic level in a skill you will be pre-credited with the 20 hits needed to achieve it). For advancing riding skill, 100 turns spent moving is equivalent to one hit. The other criterion used to advance skill levels is experience levels. Each time you gain an experience level, you earn a "skill slot" that is used up when you an advance a skill. Thus you can earn a maximum of 29 skill slots, by advancing from level 1 to level 30. If you lose an experience level, you lose the associated skill slot; if that skill slot was used to enhance a skill, you will lose the most recently earned skill and are refunded the remaining skill slots from that skill level. The tables above also lists the number of additional EXPerience levels (skill slots) needed to advance to that skill level (note the difference between the two tables). Unlike the number of hits, this number is not cumulative. Thus, it takes 2 skill slots to advance a weapon from basic to skilled, no matter if you started with it as basic or unskilled. Note that these slots are shared with spell skills. When you start the game, you will have basic skill for the weapons and weapon-tools in your initial inventory, have basic skill in bare-handed combat if you can advance it beyond expert, basic skill in riding if a Knight, and will be unskilled in all other weapon categories. When you reach the point when you can advance a skill category, you will see the message, "You feel more confident in your (weapon/fighting) skills." You can then advance the skill using the #enhance command (alt-e on some systems). You may choose to not advance a skill level if you want to reserve the skill slots for a different skill. After advancing a skill, if you are ready to advance another skill (possibly the same one), you will get the message "You feel you could be more dangerous!" The #enhance command can also be used at any time to check your current skill levels. Of course, there are limits to how much you can advance a particular skill category. Each character class has different maximum levels for each skill category, as can be seen in weapons table 2 above. These differences help to distinguish the various character classes late in the game. For example, note that many of the fighter classes have skill with swords, whereas Priests are restricted from edged weapons but are good with bludgeons and missiles. Note that you can usually advance your starting weapons and your Quest Artifact (if it is a weapon) to expert skill. The term "restricted" is used to describe skill categories that are permanently unskilled. They do not appear in the #enhance menu, although you will see skills that are unskilled and can be advanced. If you receive an artifact weapon from crowning or sacrificing, and the artifact's skill category is restricted, then the restriction will be removed and you will be able to advance that skill to basic level; only hits made after the unrestriction count towards this advancement. Note that only character classes who are unrestricted in two-weapon skill are able to use the #twoweapon command in their unpolymorphed form. Weapon skills affect your game by adding a bonus to your chance to hit and your damage. The WEAPON +HIT and +DAM columns in the table above shows the amount of this bonus for each skill level. If you attack a monster while not wielding any weapon, you will cause either bare-handed damage (d2) or martial arts (d4) damage. You only cause one or the other, depending on your character class. These skills can be enhanced just like weapon skills -- even to levels beyond those of weapons (master and grand master) -- and have their own +DAMage bonuses. The martial arts bonus also applies when attacking a monster by kicking it. Calculating the chance to hit ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "weapons", by Robert DeLoura and Boudewijn Waijers.) There are four ways to attack a monster with a weapon. You can hit the monster directly by wielding the weapon and stepping into that monster's square. If no weapon is wielded, you use your bare-handed or martial arts skill. Second, you can use the throw command to throw a weapon or any other object (just type the object's inventory letter), or the fire command to throw the object currently in your quiver. Missiles (such as arrows) are fired from launchers (such as bows) by wielding the launcher and throwing the missile. Third, you can kick an object at a monster, or just kick a monster in an adjacent square. Finally, you can apply a wielded polearm (lances are, for combat purposes, considered polearms) at a monster at a distance: if your skill in that weapon is basic or worse, the monster must be exactly two squares away orthogonally; if skilled, it may also be a knight's-move away; if expert (can only apply to lances), anywhere at two moves' distance. It is possible that you may hit with more than one weapon in a turn: * If you are using two-weapon combat, then if your primary weapon hits and is not destroyed in the process, and the monster is not dislodged from its position, your secondary weapon also automatically hits. * When firing any arrows from any bow, bolts from a crossbow, stones from a sling, or throwing daggers, darts or shuriken, there may be a chance that several get shot in one turn. The maximum number starts at 1, and receives the following additions: + 1 if you are skilled in the weapon. + 2 if you are expert in the weapon. + 1 if you are a Ranger, a Rogue throwing daggers, or a Samurai firing ya from a yumi. + 1 if you are an elf firing elven arrows from an elven bow. + 1 if you are an orc firing orcish arrows from an orcish bow. + If this results in a maximum higher than the number of missiles you have, the maximum is reduced to that number. The number actually fired on any given turn is d(maximum). This can be capped by giving a numerical prefix to the fire or throw command; doing so will only decrease, never increase the number you fire. Your chance to hit is based on the sum of the following items. The larger the number, the better your chance to hit. The following are added to all attacks: + The target monster's armor class. + Your experience level, or your hit dice if you are polymorphed. + Your total numerical luck, which can range from -13 to +13. + A bonus based on your dexterity (see DEXT +HIT in the table below). + Your increase accuracy bonus (such as from rings). + 1 if you are in elven form and are attacking an orc (any o or orcish undead). + 2 if the target monster was asleep. It will awaken, whether you hit or miss it. + 4 if the target monster was paralyzed. There is a 10% chance that the monster will be unfrozen. The following are added only when attacking a monster directly with a wielded weapon or bare-handed (melee attacks): + 1 bonus for attacking directly. + A bonus based on your strength (see STRENGTH +HIT in the table below). + 1 if you are XL 1 or 2 (game-balancing beginner's luck). + -1 if you are burdened, -3 if stressed, -5 if strained. You cannot attack in any way if you are overtaxed or overloaded. + -3 if you are trapped. + 2 if the target monster was stunned. + 2 if the target monster was fleeing. + -20 if you are a Monk wearing body armour. + If you are a barehanded Monk not wearing body armour or a shield, 2 plus your experience level divided by three. The following are added only when attacking by throwing, firing or kicking a weapon, or applying a polearm (long- and medium-range attacks): + -1 penalty for attacking from a distance. + +2 to -4, depending on your distance to the target monster. + -2 to +5, depending on the size of the target monster. + 2 with a heavy iron ball. + 4 with a boomerang. + 2 with throwing weapons (daggers (except athames), knives (except scalpels and worm teeth), spears, javelins, war hammers, aklys, darts, shuriken). + -2 with non-throwing weapons. + 6 with a boulder. + 1 if you are an elf or Samurai wielding any bow and shooting any arrow. This bonus is 2 when an elf uses an elven bow or a Samurai uses a yumi. + Some gloves are a hindrance if you wield any bow class. Gauntlets of power are -2, and gauntlets of fumbling are -3. + -4 if you throw or kick a missile without wielding a matching launcher: LAUNCHER(S) MISSILE(S) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ orcish bow, bow, elven bow, orcish arrow, arrow, silver arrow, yumi elven arrow, ya sling gems and stones crossbow crossbow bolt + Enchantment of the launcher you are wielding, if you threw or kicked a matching missile. + -1 if your launcher is damaged, -2 if it is very damaged, or -3 if it is thoroughly damaged. This only applies when you kick or throw a matching missile. + An artifact launcher +HIT bonus, if any applies. If the target monster is being attacked with a weapon or weapon-tool -- your (primary) wielded one when attacking directly or with a polearm, or the missile if thrown or kicked -- there are additional bonuses based on that object: + The object's enchantment. + The object type's to-hit bonus. See +HIT in weapons table 2. + A weapon skill +HIT bonus if not using two weapons; see WEAPON +HIT in the weapon skills table above, for the current skill level of that weapon. + A penalty if using two weapons and/or riding while poorly skilled; see 2-WEAP +HIT and RIDING +HIT in the weapon skills table above. (For the former purpose, your skill is considered to be the lower of your actual two-weapon skill and your skill in your primary weapon.) + An additional -2 if using two weapons while riding, regardless of skill. + 2 for blessed weapon(-tool) against a demon or undead monster. + 2 for weapons in spear class against X, D, J, N, or H. + 2 for a trident against snakes or sea monsters out of water. + 4 for a trident against any swimmer in water. + 2 for weapons in pick-axe class against xorns and earth elementals. + An artifact +HIT bonus, if any applies. A die from 1 to 20 is rolled and compared to the to-hit total. If the die roll is less than the to-hit total (or equal when throwing or kicking), you hit the monster and inflict damage as described below; otherwise, you miss the monster. The die roll is also used in determining if certain "chance" artifact effects occur (e.g., beheading or Magicbane's special attacks). There are also some special cases. If you are swallowed or engulfed by a monster, then direct or thrown attacks always succeed, although you will be unable to kick or apply polearms. Unicorns will always catch gems and glass that is thrown or kicked at them, causing no damage. Your Quest Leader will always catch your Quest Artifact, and return it to you if peaceful. Here is the table of attribute adjustments: STRENGTH DEXT : STRENGTH DEXT ATTRIBUTE +HIT +DAM +HIT : ATTRIBUTE +HIT +DAM +HIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ 3 -2 -1 -3 : 18/76 - 18/90 +2 +4 -- 4 to 5 -2 -1 -2 : 18/91 - 18/99 +2 +5 -- 6 to 7 -1 0 -1 : 18/** +3 +6 -- 8 to 14 0 0 0 : 19 +3 +6 +5 15 0 0 +1 : 20 +3 +6 +6 16 0 +1 +2 : 21 +3 +6 +7 17 +1 +1 +3 : 22 +3 +6 +8 18 +1 +2 +4 : 23 +3 +6 +9 18/01 - 18/50 +1 +3 -- : 24 +3 +6 +10 18/51 - 18/75 +2 +3 -- : 25 +3 +6 +11 Calculating damage ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "weapons", by Robert DeLoura and Boudewijn Waijers.) If you hit directly without wielding anything, you inflict either bare- handed base damage (d2) or martial arts base damage (d4). No base damage occurs against shades. If the base damage is more than one point, you exercise that weapon skill. Added to this is a d4 bonus if wearing blessed gloves while fighting undead or demons, or d20 if wearing a silver ring(s) and no gloves while fighting a silver-hating monster. There is also a small chance of stunning your opponent and causing it to stagger back a space (if it can); this will only happen if you are wearing neither body armour nor shield and are in your natural form. Damage from weapons, weapon-tools, gems, stones, ball, or chain is the total of the following: + Impacting object's base damage (SDAM or LDAM above, accordingly) + Impacting object's enchantment (weapon and weapon-tool only) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ = Subtotal A # Subtotal A is set to zero if attacking thick-skinned creature with item made of venom, wax, food, paper, cloth, or leather (namely, a bullwhip). Thick-skinned creatures include: gargoyle, winged gargoyle, all mimics, mumak, titanothere, baluchitherium, mastodon, all baby and adult dragons (D), earth elemental, all baby and adult nagas (N), xorn, skeleton, gold golem, wood golem, clay golem, stone golem, glass golem, iron golem, horned devil, barbed devil, shark, crocodile, salamander, Chromatic Dragon, and Ixoth. # Subtotal A is set to zero if attacking a shade without silver. # Heavy iron ball sets subtotal A to 1-25, depending on weight. + d4 if using a blessed item against undead or demon. Undead include all liches (L), all mummies (M), all vampires (V), all wraiths/wights (W), all zombies (Z), ghosts, and shades. Demons are all & except Death, Pestilence, Famine, the mail daemon, djinn, and sandestins. This bonus can't be doubled. + d4 if using an axe or battle axe against a wooden creature (namely, wood golems). This bonus can't be doubled. + d20 if silver weapon against silver-hating creature. These include all were-creatures (in both human and creature form); all vampires (V); all demons (&) except Death, Pestilence, Famine, the mail daemon, djinn, and sandestins; shades; and all imps (i) except tengu. This bonus can't be doubled. + erosion penalty from whichever of rust/fire damage or rot/corrosion damage is greater (-1 = damaged, -2 = very damaged, -3 = thoroughly damaged). This won't reduce subtotal B beyond 1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ = Subtotal B. This is the value that must be greater than one for the hit to be counted toward a weapon skill. + If you are a Rogue in natural form hitting a fleeing monster, aren't stuck or using two weapons, and subtotal B is more than one point, you strike from behind with an additional random damage from 1 to your experience level. + 2d10 for a successful joust (2d2 if with a secondary weapon). This bonus can't be doubled. To joust successfully, you need to hit with a lance in melee while riding (and not fumbling or stunned), and the chance is dependent on your skill in lance (or, if two-weaponing, the lower of your skill in two-weapon combat and in lance): 20% at unskilled, 40% at basic, 60% at skilled, 80% at expert. The monster will be stunned for a turn and thrown back a square (if possible). There is a small chance that the lance will break (dependent on your Luck). Successfully jousting will always exercise your weapon skill. + 1 if you're a Samurai using ya with a yumi, or are an elf using elven arrows with an elven bow. Polymorph doesn't count. + Artifact damage bonus, doubling, and/or special attacks. This may apply only against certain creatures. See art1-343.txt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ = Total damage Hitting directly with a launcher, hitting directly with a missile, using the wrong missile with a launcher, or using a polearm at close range (unless mounted) causes only d2 damage (zero against shades) and does not exercise your weapon skill. If you attack directly with a boomerang, there's a chance (decreasing with higher Luck) that the boomerang breaks, causing another 1 point of damage (no damage to shades). Damage from other objects are as follows. No weapon skills are exercised. OBJECT DAMAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ corpses 2 to 8, depending on size. Cockatrice/chickatrice corpses (nicknamed "rubber chickens") turn monsters to stone, or do no damage if monster is stoning- resistant. eggs 1, penalize luck if you laid it, and no increase damage bonus. Cockatrice/chickatrice eggs (nicknamed "stoning grenades") turn monsters to stone, or do no damage if monster is stoning-resistant. clove of garlic 1, makes undead (but NOT demons) flee for 2d4 (more) turns. cream pie, 0, blinds target; no increase damage bonus. blinding venom acid venom 2d6 to monsters not acid resistant; no increase damage bonus. potions See pot1-343.txt. expensive camera 0, breaks camera, no increase damage bonus. mirror 1, breaks mirror (even on shades) with a -2 penalty to your luck. boulder d20. heavy iron ball 1 to 25, depending on weight and subject to rusting. iron chain d4+1, subject to rusting. other objects 1 to 6, depending on weight. Silver objects receive a +d20 bonus against a silver-hating creature (see above for list). Additional damage can occur to all of the above attacks (even against shades; however, the first two bonuses are not applied if your current damage total is less than one): + Your increase damage bonus (such as from rings), unless if noted above. + The STRENGTH +DAM bonus from the attributes adjustment table above. This won't occur if you aren't allowed the increase damage bonus, or if you're firing a missile from a launcher. + If you scored a hit that exercises a weapon skill, the +DAM bonus for that weapon skill or for two-weapon combat skill (and for riding skill if applicable, unless using two weapons). If fighting with two weapons, your skill for this purpose is considered to be the lower of your actual two-weapon skill and your skill in the single weapon scoring the hit. + If you hit a non-poison-resistant monster with a fired poisoned missile, there's a 10% chance of an instant kill, else you inflict d6 more damage. Your total damage is limited from being negative. If you are allowed an increase damage bonus, you will score at least 1 point of damage. When you attack a monster and are polymorphed into a creature, you usually use the attacks of your polymorphed form. However, if you are in a form that can use a weapon, are wielding something, and attempt a weapon, claw, kick, bite, sting, touch, butt, or tentacle attack, then you will attack with the wielded object instead. You may sometimes shatter your opponent's weapon if you are wielding a two-handed weapon, or are a Samurai wielding a katana with nothing in your off-hand. Your skill with your weapon must be skilled or better. The chance depends upon your weapon's erosion and the ability of your opponent's weapon to resist; it is about 2.5% under the best circumstances. This attack also causes the monster to flee for 2d3 (more) turns. Some monsters fight back passively when attacked. Also, when a black or brown pudding is hit directly with an iron weapon, it will be cloned after taking damage. What's the relationship between launcher and missile modifiers? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A very brief summary (for the full details, see the above two sections) of which effects enchantments, erosions, and artifact combat bonuses will have when using a launcher and missile in the correct combination: MODIFIER TO HIT DAMAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Launcher enchantment : YES NO Launcher erosion : YES NO Launcher artifact to-hit bonus : YES NO Launcher artifact damage bonus : N/A N/A Missile enchantment : YES YES Missile erosion : NO YES Missile artifact to-hit bonus : YES NO Missile artifact damage bonus : NO YES Choosing an early weapon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most players know that the best weapons in NetHack are artifacts (see art1-343.txt and art2-343.txt). However, you usually won't find a good artifact weapon until you are well into a game. Which weapons should you use until then? The best general advice is to use the same weapon preferences that monsters use. Their choices of wielded weapons for hand-to-hand combat, from most to least preferred, are as follows: cockatrice/chickatrice corpse, tsurugi, runesword, dwarvish mattock, two-handed sword, battle-axe, katana, unicorn horn, crysknife, trident, long sword, elven broadsword, broadsword, scimitar, silver saber, morning star, elven short sword, dwarvish short sword, short sword, orcish short sword, mace, axe, dwarvish spear, silver spear, elven spear, spear, orcish spear, flail, bullwhip, quarterstaff, javelin, aklys, club, pick-axe, rubber hose, war hammer, silver dagger, elven dagger, dagger, orcish dagger, athame, scalpel, knife, worm tooth. If monsters can attack you from a distance with a ranged weapon or polearm, they will use them in the following order: halberd, bardiche, spetum, bill-guisarme, voulge, ranseur, guisarme, glaive, lucern hammer, bec-de-corbin, fauchard, partisan, lance, dwarvish spear, silver spear, elven spear, spear, orcish spear, javelin, shuriken, ya, silver arrow, elven arrow, arrow, orcish arrow, crossbow bolt, silver dagger, elven dagger, dagger, orcish dagger, knife, flint stone, rock, loadstone, luckstone, dart, boomerang (not yet implemented), cream pie. Classes that are good fighters usually start with good weapons (for example, BKRaSV), but other classes may want to switch to a different type of weapon as soon as possible. During the first few levels of the game, you can #untrap dart and arrow traps to get some ranged weapons to throw. Daggers (especially elven) are often left by monsters in the first few levels and in the mines, and have a +2 to-hit bonus. Pick-axes (good to practice skill for dwarvish mattock), unicorn horns, and quarterstaffs (from wood golems) appear somewhat later in the game and are good choices for certain classes. Note that you will start out unskilled in weapon categories other than your starting weapons, which makes fighting with other weapons difficult until you can advance them to basic. Using petrifying corpses requires gloves and has other risks. Naturally, there are other ways to fight and defend yourself as well. Weapon enchantment and erosion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "enchant.lim" by Peter Snelling and Boudewijn Waijers.) Your weapon's enchantment (e.g., -1, +0, +2) affects both your chance to hit monsters and the amount of damage produced. However, damage is reduced if your weapon has been eroded by rust/fire or corrosion/rotting. Some weapons are made of materials that do not erode (see weapons table 1), but others must be specially protected to prevent erosion. This section explains how to enchant your weapon and protect it from erosion. All of the weapons and tools listed above can only be enchanted by reading scrolls of enchant weapon. You must wield the weapon first. The effect is dependent upon the blessed status of the scroll and the weapon's enchantment before reading the scroll. A blessed scroll adds 1 or more enchantments, based on the current enchantment (see table below). An uncursed scroll adds only one enchantment. Cursed scrolls remove one enchantment; however, artifacts other than Sting or Orcrist are not affected by cursed scrolls of enchant weapon. Current enchantment -3 to -1 +0 to +2 +3 to +5 +6 to +8 +9 or more ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ Additional possible 1 to 4 1 to 3 1 to 2 1 0 to 1 A blessed or uncursed scroll will further make a cursed weapon uncursed, and will convert a worm tooth into a crysknife. Cursed scrolls will convert a crysknife into a worm tooth. There is also a 2/3 chance of your weapon being destroyed if it was more than +5 (less than -5) before reading a non-cursed (cursed) scroll. Thus, the maximum safe enchantment for a weapon is +7. This is obtained by reading uncursed or blessed scrolls until +5 is reached, and then reading a blessed scroll. If by chance this results in +6, you should bring the enchantment back down to +5 -- by engraving one letter with the weapon or by reading a cursed scroll of enchant weapon -- before trying again. Note: Engraving works only for weapons with edges, and for athames only when they are cursed. Weapons may also lose enchantments when zapped with a spell of drain life or used to hit a disenchanter, but may resist; artifacts will resist more than ordinary weapons. The artifact Magicbane has special attack effects that decrease in frequency as the enchantment is increased. See art2-343.txt for a discussion on why enchantment to +2 is the optimal point to maximise these. A special case occurs if you are confused while reading a scroll of enchant weapon. Blessed or uncursed scrolls of enchant weapon while confused will remove any rust, fire, corrosion or rot damage and erodeproof your weapon. The weapon's current enchantment does not matter. In the special case of crysknives, they become "fixed"; unfixed crysknives have a 100% chance of reverting to a worm tooth when they cease to be carried (possibly within a container) by you or a monster, fixed only 10%. Reading a cursed scroll of enchant weapon while confused removes any erodeproofing but will not otherwise damage your weapon. You can also choose a weapon that doesn't damage (such as one made of silver), temporarily protect your weapon by applying a layer of grease from a can of grease, or #dip a damaged metallic weapon into a non-cursed potion of oil to remove one level of each type of damage.

Spell effects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many attack spells have their damage affected by your experience level (XL) and your INTelligence, according to modifiers referred to in the following descriptions as 'spell damage' and 'damage bonus'. spell damage = (XL/2) +1 if INT < 10: damage bonus = -3 if INT = 14-18 and XL > 4: damage bonus = 1 if INT > 18 and XL > 4: damage bonus = 2 Otherwise: damage bonus = 0 Each spell is annotated with its school and its type. NODIR spells do not ask for a direction. BEAM spells ask for a direction, but do not show a visibly animated effect when cast. RAY spells produce a ray which is animated on the screen. DISTANT spells ask for a position at which to cast the spell. BEAM and RAY spells cannot be aborted; if you try to cancel them at the direction prompt, "The magical energy is released!" in the direction in which you last took an action (possibly towards yourself). Monsters are not angered by spells of dig, knock, (extra) healing, stone to flesh (except stone golems), turn undead (if not undead and none of their inventory was affected), or wizard lock; being zapped (or missed by) other spells will cause peaceful monsters to become hostile. cancellation (matter, BEAM) Same effect as a wand of cancellation. zap monster Some monsters may resist.

Quaffing from sinks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11/20: No effect. One of the following messages: "You take a sip of (very) water." "You hear clanking from the pipes..." "You hear snatches of song from among the sewers..." "From the murky drain, a hand reaches up... --oops--" (only if hallucinating) 1/20: If you are fire resistant, no effect; otherwise, you lose d6 hit points. "You take a sip of scalding hot water." "It seems quite tasty." (fire resistant) 1/20: A sewer rat is generated (unless genocided or extinct). "Eek! There's a sewer rat in the sink!" (unblind) "Eek! There's something squirmy in the sink!" (blind) "The sink seems quite dirty." (genocided or extinct) 1/20: You suffer the effect of quaffing a random uncursed potion (other than water). "Some liquid flows from the faucet." (unblind) "Some odd liquid flows from the faucet." (blind) 1/20: If you have already acquired a ring from this sink (by quaffing or kicking), no effect; otherwise, a random ring is created and your wisdom exercised. "You find a ring in the sink!" "Some dirty water backs up in the drain." (already got one) 1/20: The sink becomes a fountain. "The pipes break! Water spurts out!" 1/20: A water elemental is created (unless extinct). "The water moves as though of its own will!" "But it quiets down." (extinct) 1/20: You gain one experience point. "Yuk, this water tastes awful." 1/20: You vomit and your hunger is increased. "Gagg... this tastes like sewage! You vomit." 1/20: If you have unchanging, no effect; otherwise, you polymorph. "This water contains toxic wastes!" "You undergo a freakish metamorphosis!" (polymorph) Kicking sinks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4/5: Your dexterity is exercised. "Klunk! The pipes vibrate noisily." 1/5: Something else, as follows: If you haven't yet got a black pudding from the sink, 1/3 chance of one being generated and your dexterity being exercised. "A ooze gushes up from the drain!" (unblind) "You hear a gushing sound." (blind) If you didn't get a pudding and haven't yet had a dish washer, 1/3 chance of one being summoned (an incubus if a female humanoid, a succubus if a male humanoid, otherwise an equal chance of either), and your dexterity being exercised. "The dish washer returns!" (unblind) "Something returns!" (blind), and If you didn't get either of the above, 1/3 chance of a random ring being created provided the sink hasn't yet given one through kicking or quaffing, and your wisdom and dexterity being exercised. "Flupp! Muddy waste pops up from the drain." (unblind) "Flupp! You hear a sloshing sound." (blind) "You see a ring shining in its midst." (unblind, ring created) If you didn't get any of the above, you get a hurt foot. Your dexterity and strength are abused, there is a 1/3 chance of your right leg being hurt for 5 to 10 turns, and you lose d5 HP (d3 HP if your constitution is greater than 15). "Ouch! That hurts!" Other sink effects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sinks, as the name suggests, will cause anything in the air above them to fall to the floor: thrown weapons, or you when levitating (inflicting d8 + 24 - CON damage, plus d3 for each weapon or stack of weapons on the square). Dropping rings onto a sink will usually cause them to be lost down it, with a message that may enable you to identify the ring; see ring-343.txt for a list of these effects. Digging down on a sink square will convert it into a fountain as in the quaffing result above ("The pipes break! Water spurts out!").

NODIR Wands are listed above by increasing price, then alphabetically. The COST field denotes the base price of each item. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1). Wands comprise 4% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 6% in containers, 5% on the Rogue level, and 8% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype. They appear 1/34 cursed, 16/17 uncursed, and 1/34 blessed. The CHG field specifies the maximum number of charges that a wand normally has. An exclamation (!) denotes that a wand of wishing may only be recharged once. Wands of wishing start with 1 to 3 charges; otherwise, the wand starts with a number of charges at most 4 less than its maximum. Each time you (z)ap or (E)ngrave with a wand, you use one charge. A wand with zero charges left has a 1 in 121 chance of wresting a last charge and then turning to dust each time it is zapped (this won't happen if the wand was cancelled but not recharged). Cancelling a wand will make it uncursed and (except for wands of cancellation) it will get zero charges. Wands may be recharged by scrolls of charging or by the Platinum Yendorian Express Card. Previously-recharged wands have a chance of exploding (up to a maximum of 100% for a 7:x wand or a wand of wishing); see scrl-343.txt. A cursed scroll will have no effect on a blessed wand or a wand with no charges; otherwise, "Your vibrates briefly" and it gets zero charges. An uncursed scroll will bring the number of charges to a random number from 1 to a random number between 5 and the maximum charges shown above (or for a wand of wishing a random number from 1 to 3); a blessed scroll will bring the number of charges in the wand to a random number from 5 to the maximum charges shown above, or for a wand of wishing to three charges. If it already has that number of charges, it gains one more charge. A wand of wishing charged beyond three charges will explode. "Your briefly." if the new enchantment is below the maximum; "Your for a moment." otherwise. The TYPE of wand denotes the behavior when it is zapped. NODIR wands do not ask for a direction. BEAM wands ask for a direction, but do not show a visibly animated effect when zapped. RAY wands produce a ray which is animated on the screen; if you are unblind when you zap the wand, you will also identify that type of wand. The appearances of wands are randomized from the following descriptions: glass balsa crystal maple pine oak ebony marble tin brass copper silver platinum iridium zinc aluminum uranium iron steel hexagonal short runed long curved forked spiked jeweled Zapping wands ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nondirectional wands will be identified if you saw their effect (e.g., you found a secret door with a wand of secret door detection). If the wand produces a visible ray or beam, you will identify the wand if you were unblind. The range of a RAY (other than digging) will be 7 to 13 squares; this range may be lessened by the ray causing effects or bouncing. Zapping a RAY wand upwards or downwards is equivalent to restricting the ray to a range of 1. BEAM wands have a range of 6 to 13, which can similarly be lessened, and will not bounce; they will be identified if you observe an effect caused by them. Cursed wands have a 1% chance of exploding when zapped; this does 1 to 6 points of damage for each charge in the wand, plus an additional 2 to 12 points of damage, and abuses your strength. Monsters are not angered by wands of digging, locking, nothing, opening, probing, or undead turning (if not undead and none of their inventory was affected); being zapped with (or missed by) other wands will cause peaceful monsters to become hostile if you were the zapper. cancellation (BEAM) zap monster Some monsters may resist. Clay golems are killed. "Some writing vanishes from head!" Weremonsters return to human form.

Otherwise, the monster is teleported to a random location on the same level. If you were engulfed by it, you go with it, unless you are on a no-teleport level, in which case you cease to be engulfed and remain at your original location. "You are no longer inside the !" (was engulfed on a no-teleport level) No message (otherwise). If the monster is unseen and does not move, its location is revealed. zap downwards Any engraving on the location will be teleported to a random position on the same level. zap object Rider corpses are immediately revived.

You may wish for "nothing" if you do not want to receive anything (thus preserving wishless conduct). Engraving with wands ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use the (E)ngrave command to engrave with a wand. It will use one charge (possibly wresting the last) from the wand. Depending on the type of the wand, you can get one of the messages below if you are unblinded, not levitating, and over a writable floor. Some messages are the same for different types of wands, some messages require an engraving already on that square, and some wands will not provide any means of identification this way. Nondirectional wands will act as if they were zapped. If you didn't wrest the last charge from the wand, you can write a message in the dust (or engrave if specified below). These messages provide (perhaps in combination with judicious zapping) a safe method of identifying many wands. WAND ENGRAVING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ cancellation If there already is an engraving, it is erased: "The engraving on the vanishes!" cold If a burned-in engraving exists, it is erased: "The engraving on the vanishes!"

Japanese names of items are listed in parentheses (). The COST field denotes the base price of each item. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1). Food comprises 20% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 15% in containers, 22% on the Rogue level, and 16% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype. Eggs not laid by you have a roughly 1/3 probability of hatching. Tins are 1/6 spinach and are 5% blessed, 90% uncursed, and 5% cursed. All other comestibles will be generated uncursed. The nutrition of each item is listed under NUTR. The cost of all items are based on the nutrition by the formula COST = (NUTR / 20) +5, with fractions rounded off. Note that several previously archived spoilers did not correctly round their costs. The ratio of nutrition to weight is listed in the NUTR/WGT column; lembas wafers have the best ratio. The amount of time needed to completely eat an item is given under TIME. Hunger and nutrition ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "food" by Bryan Butler and J. Ali Harlow.) Each of the following conditions is checked on the turns shown; if it is the case, then you lose one more point of nutrition that turn. Rings and amulets cause additional hunger as shown; the only exception is a ring that can be charged but is at +0. A ring of slow digestion prevents base ordinary food consumption, but still causes ring hunger. You can therefore consume a maximum of 64 nutrition in 20 turns (if all of these conditions were met). HOW OFTEN CAUSE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ Each turn Ordinary food consumption, if carnivorous or herbivorous and not wearing a ring of slow digestion. When asleep, only about 10% as much is needed. Odd turns Regeneration from anything other than an artifact. Odd turns Encumbrance is stressed or worse. Even turns Hunger intrinsic (e.g., from a ring). Even turns Conflict from anything other than an artifact. Turn 4 of 20 Ring worn on left hand (except a +0 ring). Turn 8 of 20 Amulet worn. Turn 12 of 20 Ring worn on right hand (except a +0 ring). Turn 16 of 20 Carrying the Amulet of Yendor. Naturally, eating some food will make you gain the amount of nutrition in the food. Your level of nutrition is described as follows: 2000 or more Death from choking (under certain circumstances) 1000 or more Satiated 150 to 999 Not hungry 50 to 149 Hungry 0 to 49 Weak Below zero Fainting Below (-200)-(20*CON) Death from starvation Corpses ~~~~~~~ (Adapted from the spoiler "corpses", by Boudewijn Waijers and Peter Snelling.) When a monster is killed, the probability of leaving a corpse depends on several factors: PROB CONDITIONS ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ 0% Killed by digestion or disintegration. 0% Killed by stoning (creates a statue instead). 0% Corpses are never generated on the Rogue level. 0% Non-flesh golems leave objects instead of a corpse. 0% Some monsters never leave a corpse (e.g., Vlad, liches). 100% Lizards, monsters of large size or bigger. 100% The Riders and player-monsters on the Astral Plane. 1/2 Frequent monster that is not tiny 1/3 Monster appears infrequently or is tiny (but not both). 1/4 Monster both appears infrequently and is tiny. There is a further reduction of the above chances for undead creatures that die on a graveyard level: by 1/9 if it was killed by you or by 1/3 if it was not killed by you (e.g., by a trap or another monster). This means that wraiths have a better chance of leaving a corpse if you lead them to a stairway and let them follow you to a non-graveyard level, a technique called "wraith luring". For this purpose, the Castle and all levels of the Priest Quest are considered graveyard levels, as is any level on which undead have been summoned by the cursed Book of the Dead or Bell of Opening. The nutrition, weight, and time needed to eat corpses is determined by the type of monster. The blessed/cursed status of corpses adjusts how fast they become tainted; corpses on an ice surface age half as fast, corpses do not age while in iceboxes, and lizard and lichen corpses never become tainted (though they do become too old for sacrifice). Vampires, mummies, and zombies leave corpses that are already considered old. Tainted corpses do not provide either nutrition or intrinsics. (Adapted from a spoiler by Sascha Wostmann.) You can acquire useful intrinsics by eating certain corpses or tins. The blessed/cursed status does *not* change the likelihood of getting an intrinsic. If the monster has more than one conferrable intrinsic, one is randomly picked, with equal probability among all possible. The CHANCE that the picked intrinsic is conferred varies among the different intrinsics; some are based on the level of the monster (LEV). If you get the intrinsic, you will get a MESSAGE (the second one if you are hallucinating). INTRINSIC CHANCE MESSAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ Fire resistance LEV/15 "You feel a momentary chill." "You be chillin'." Sleep resistance LEV/15 "You feel wide awake" Cold resistance LEV/15 "You feel full of hot air" Disintegration LEV/15 "You feel very firm." resistance "You feel totally together, man." Shock resistance LEV/15 "Your health currently feels amplified!" "You feel grounded in reality." Poison resistance LEV/15 "You feel healthy." ("You feel especially healthy." if you had previously acquired non-permanent poison resistance by other means.) Note: 25% better chance if killer bee or scorpion. Teleport LEV/10 "You feel very jumpy." "You feel diffuse." Teleport control LEV/12 "You feel in control of yourself." "You feel centered in your personal space." Telepathy 100% "You feel a strange mental acuity." "You feel in touch with the cosmos." Some corpses or tins have additional effects: :bjDFNP If you eat a lizard or any acidic monster, a possible stoning process is stopped. "You feel limber" (non-hallucinating) "What a pity - you just ruined a future piece of art!" (hallucinating with charisma <= 15) "What a pity - you just ruined a future piece of fine art!" (hallucinating with charisma > 15) : Eating a lizard has the supplemental effect of reducing stunning or confusion timeouts to 2 turns, if higher. : Eating a newt ("eye of newt") may cause you to gain 1 to 3 energy (2/3 chance, always if at two-thirds maximum energy or below). If this would take you above your maximum energy, there is a 1/3 chance that your maximum energy will be increased by one. "You feel a mild buzz." :@ Eating a chameleon or doppelganger makes you polymorph once. (Eating doppelgangers may also be considered cannibalism if you are human.) h a (master) mind flayer has a 50% chance of increasing your INT by one. Otherwise, it confers telepathy. m Eating a mimic makes you mimic a pile of gold (or, if hallucinating, an orange) for some turns, unless you have unchanging. The larger the mimic the longer you imitate. During this time, you are shown as a $-sign or %-sign. If you are attacked, you revert to your previous form. yB Eating a bat will make you stunned for 30 (more) turns, or 60 (more) turns for a giant bat. In theory, this also holds for yellow lights (but they don't leave corpses in recent versions). E When you eat a stalker's corpse and you are not invisible, you'll become invisible for 50 to 149 turns. If you're already invisible, you become permanently invisible and get the "see invisible" intrinsic. In both cases, you are stunned for 60 (more) turns. F@ If the monster has a stun or hallucination attack or is a violet fungus, you get hallucination for (another) 200 turns. H Eating a giant, stone giant, hill giant, fire giant, frost giant, storm giant, or Lord Surtur will increase your strength. If you had less than 18 strength, then you have a 19/24 chance of gaining one point, or a 1/24 chance each of gaining 2 to 6 points. If you had 18 strength or more, then you gain 1 to 10 points (equally likely), or just one point if you had strength 18/85 or more, up to 18/** (or your racial maximum if lower). P Eating a green slime's corpse (unless polymorphed into a green slime, a salamander, a flaming sphere, or a fire vortex or elemental; or you have unchanging or were being slimed already) will slime you to death in 10 turns. Q A quantum mechanic's corpse makes you toggle your speed. If you were not currently fast, you'll get fast; otherwise, you lose the speed. W Eating a wraith's corpse lets you gain a level (unless the corpse is rotten and rots away completely). df If you eat any of little dog, dog, large dog, kitten, housecat, or large cat, you'll get the intrinsic "aggravate monster" unless you are a Caveman or an orc. "You feel that eating the was a bad idea." c@ If you eat a cockatrice, chickatrice, or Medusa's corpse and you are neither stoning resistant nor are you polymorphed into a golem, you'll be instantly killed by stoning. @hGK Eating something of your own species (Kops are human) is considered cannibalism unless you are a Caveman or an orc. You get the intrinsic "aggravate monster" and lose 2 to 5 luck. @ Eating a were-creature makes you a lycanthrope of the same kind and may be considered cannibalism if you are human. @ Eating a nurse heals you up to max hitpoints and may be considered cannibalism if you are human. & Eating Death, Pestilence or Famine is instantly fatal. Tins ~~~~ (Adapted from a spoiler by Sascha Wostmann.) You get up to 50 moves to open a tin; otherwise, you give up. If you are wielding a tin opener, it takes one turn; any dagger or crysknife, 3 turns; or a pick-axe or axe, 6 turns. Failing this, if you have greasy fingers the tin will be dropped (if carried), otherwise it will take 10+d(500/(DEX+STR)) turns to open (18/xx strengths being mapped to the range 19-21). Blessed tins "open like magic" in one turn. Cursed tins have a 1/8 chance of exploding and will always contain rotten food, so they won't give any nutrition but will make you even more hungry. Tins made by you with a tinning kit are always homemade if not cursed. All other tins are one of these fifteen possibilities: pureed (500), deep fried (60), homemade (50), pickled (40), soup (20), stir fried (80), candied (100), boiled (50), dried (55), szechuan (70), french fried (40), sauteed (95), broiled (80), smoked (50), or rotten (-50). The number in the parentheses is the nutrition value of each. You cannot tell in advance what type a given tin is. When you eat deep fried or french fried food, you get slippery fingers for up to 15 rounds, making you drop your wielded weapon. You can shorten the time by (a)pplying a towel. Don't forget to pick your weapon up again. You can obtain intrinsics from eating tins, with the same chance that you would have from eating the monster's corpse. Note that the chance of getting an intrinsic does not change if the tin is blessed or cursed. One of the most useful tins is the tin of spinach. If the tin is cursed, you lose strength equivalent to eating a giant corpse. Otherwise, eating the spinach "makes you feel like Popeye" (or Swee'pea while hallucinating) and gives you more strength equivalent to a giant corpse. Tins of spinach have a nutrition of 600. Other food ~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from a spoiler by Sascha Wostmann.) Eating a sprig of wolfsbane cures lycanthropy. A carrot cures blindness. Ever seen a rabbit with glasses? (It won't help with being creamed or envenomed, though.) Eating a fortune cookie gives you a rumor. You can also just (r)ead it without eating the cookie. The rumour is from the true file if the cookie is blessed, the false file if cursed, or either if uncursed. Eating a lump of royal jelly increases (decreases if cursed) your strength by one. If the jelly was cursed, you lose up to 20 hit points, otherwise you gain up to 20 HP and your wounded legs heal. If your actual HP would become higher than your maximum HP, there is a 1/17 chance of increasing your maximum HP by one. Eating a cockatrice egg is a real bad idea if you're not polymorphed into something that resists stoning. However, they are very useful when thrown at monsters. Eating green slime is also an extremely bad idea unless you're polymorphed into something fiery or a slime yourself (or have unchanging). Eating a eucalyptus leaf cures sickness or vomiting. They can also be a)pplied to give the effect of a tin whistle (cursed or uncursed) or a magic whistle (blessed; this has a 1/49 chance of unblessing the leaf). Eating tripe may make you vomit (50% chance) unless you are a Caveman or an orc, or polymorphed into a carnivorous non-humanoid. In addition to eating them, cream pies may be thrown to blind their target, or you can a)pply one directly to blind yourself. Eating objects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Adapted from a spoiler by Sascha Wostmann.) There are some conditions before you can eat an object. If you are polymorphed into a metallivore (rock mole, rust monster, or xorn), you may eat objects made of metal. If you are polymorphed into a gelatinous cube, the object is organic, and the object doesn't contain other objects, you may eat it. This is different for real gelatinous cubes, which can eat a container and hold the non-organic contents of that container engulfed. So when such a beasty eats your chest with all the artifacts, you may find them on its corpse. You can never eat Unique Items such as the Amulet or the invocation artifacts. Eating something that isn't actually food always takes only one move. The code addresses this issue by stating, "[We don't want] to deal with partly eaten plate mails, players who polymorph back to human in the middle of their metallic meal, etc...." Eating rings has a 1/3 chance of conferring the intrinsic of the ring. Eating amulets has a 1/5 chance of having an effect. Not all intrinsics can be acquired this way. See the spoilers "amul-343.txt" and "ring-343.txt". When you eat a leash with a monster on the other side, this monster gets unleashed. If you eat the iron ball or the chain while you are punished, the punishment is gone. If you eat the chain, the ball is still available to use as a weapon or to throw. When you try to eat something rustproof while being polymorphed into a rust monster, you spit it out non-rustproof and get stunned a few rounds. Eating a poisoned weapon has the same effect as eating poisonous corpses. You get poisoned if you're not resistant. Eating a non-cursed trident exercises wisdom. (This is apparently a US-centric pun having something to do with a brand of chewing gum.) "That was pure chewing satisfaction!" Eating a non-cursed flint stone exercises constitution. "Yabba-dabba delicious!" (Note however that there are no monsters capable of eating flint stones in the present version.)

WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1). Rings comprise 3% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 5% in containers, 5% on the Rogue level, and 8% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype; the suffix specifies the chance of blessed/cursed: c 90% cursed, 10% uncursed, 0% blessed charged 42.93% cursed, 41.33% uncursed, 15.73% blessed Courtesy of Bruce Cox: +ve +0 -ve blessed 181/1200 1/240 7/3000 = 59/375 uncursed 1/3 1/60 19/300 = 31/75 cursed 19/1200 1/240 307/750 = 161/375 otherwise 10% cursed, 90% uncursed, 0% blessed Rings of invisibility carried by Nazguls are always cursed. The CHG field is Y if the ring can be charged. The initial enchantment has an exponentially-weighted probability, but tends to be in the range of -3 to +3. When a ring with a positive enchantment is charged, it has an (enchantment before) in 7 chance of exploding. Rings with enchantments of <= -5 or >= +7 will always explode when charged. Otherwise, blessed charging adds 1 to 3 points of enchantment, cursed charging removes 1 to 2 points, and uncursed charging always adds +1. Therefore, the highest possible enchantment is +9 by charging (and +10 by random generation). You may repeatedly enchant and unenchant a ring. The effects of rings are controllable by putting on and removing the ring. Most rings will confer an intrinsic or a combat or stat modifier; see rint-343.txt and drgn-343.txt for descriptions of the intrinsics involved. It is possible to obtain an effect permanently by polymorphing into a metallivore or gelatinous cube (depending on the appearance of the ring; see below) and eating the ring. There is only a 1/3 chance of obtaining the effect this way ("Magic spreads through your body as you digest the ring."). Note that the effect of eating rings that affect stats (gain constitution, gain strength, adornment) will not persist when you change from this form. Eating a ring of free action will confer sleep resistance instead. Rings of slow digestion may not be eaten ("This ring is indigestible!"). Meat rings have no effect when worn, but can be eaten as normal food (see food-343.txt). The appearances of other rings are randomized from the following descriptions. These can be eaten by any metallivore (rock mole, rust monster, or xorn): pearl iron twisted steel wire engagement shiny The following can additionally be eaten by metallivores not restricted to rustprone metals (rock mole or xorn): bronze brass copper silver gold The following can be eaten by gelatinous cubes: wooden These appearances cannot be eaten by any monster: granite opal clay coral black onyx moonstone tiger eye jade agate topaz sapphire ruby diamond ivory emerald You can determine the appearance of already identified rings using the discoveries command (\). Wearing a ring (other than a chargeable ring at +0) will increase the rate at which you get hungry; see food-343.txt. Identifying rings using sinks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When a ring is dropped on top of a sink, you will get a message that can help you identify the ring. Note that most messages require that you are not blind, and the ring of hunger requires that there is a (preferably worthless) object already on the sink; if these are not the case, you will just get "You hear the ring bouncing down the drain pipe." Except for the rings of searching and slow digestion, there is a 95% chance that the ring will fall down the drain and you will lose it forever. RING MESSAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ meat ring "Several flies buzz around the sink." Works when blind. adornment "The faucets flash brightly for a moment." hunger If you are unblind and there are any items on the sink (except ball or chain) and they fail a resistance roll, they disappear: "Suddenly, vanishes from the sink!" protection "The sink glows silver/black for a moment." depending on non-negative/negative enchantment. prot from shape changers "The sink looks nothing like a fountain." stealth "The sink seems to blend into the floor for a moment." sustain ability "The water flow seems fixed."

Updated for 3.4.3 by Dylan O'Donnell When you pray a lot of nice things can happen. If you are in good standing with your god ("piously aligned"; at least +20) and sufficiently lucky ("extremely lucky"; at least +10), one of these things is that you may be "crowned" by your god. If this happens, you are not only granted a title (visible with enlightenment or at the end of the game), but some other effects (most of them beneficial) happen as well. The title you will gain is the following: Lawful: Hand of Elbereth Neutral: Envoy of Balance Chaotic: Glory of Arioch Then, you gain some useful intrinsics (if you didn't have them already, of course): * cold resistance * fire resistance * poison resistance * sleep resistance * shock resistance * see invisible Next, you may gain an item, depending on your class and alignment: * Wizards will receive a (blessed) spellbook of finger of death unless they are already carrying one, or are wielding Vorpal Blade or Stormbringer. * Monks will receive a (blessed) spellbook of restore ability unless they are already carrying one, or are wielding an artifact. If these classes do not receive a spellbook, or for any other class: * Lawful: If you are wielding (as primary, if two-weaponing) a non-artifact long sword, it is changed into Excalibur if that does not yet exist in your game. * Neutral: If Vorpal Blade does not yet exist in your game, it is created at your feet. * Chaotic: If Stormbringer does not yet exist in your game, it is created at your feet. If you received a weapon gift, it is blessed, unrusted and made rustproof, and set to at least +1. If you received no gift (or you received a spellbook gift of a spell that you already knew), your currently-wielded (primary) weapon (or weapon-tool) receives the same enhancements, and your skill in it is unrestricted. In all cases, your skill in the appropriate alignment gift weapon is unrestricted whether you got it or not: long sword for lawfuls and neutrals, broad sword for chaotics. There is, of course, a disadvantage to balance all this generosity: after crowning, your average prayer time-out (the time you have to wait between prayers) is greatly increased. So, if you already have a decent weapon and the above intrinsics, being named is a BAD thing. If you pray often enough, it WILL happen eventually, though.

The COST field denotes the base price of each item. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1). Spellbooks comprise 4% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 12% in containers, 0% on the Rogue level, and 0% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype. They appear 1/34 cursed, 16/17 uncursed, and 1/34 blessed. There is also a chance of obtaining a spellbook (if possible, one you haven't learnt yet and whose school you're unrestricted in) from praying when your god is pleased. A Wizard will usually receive a blessed spellbook of finger of death when crowned; a Monk, a blessed spellbook of restore ability. The level (LVL) of a spell controls how difficult it is to cast and how much energy is required. Normal spellbooks cost 100 times their level. READ indicates the number of turns needed to successfully read a particular spellbook. MRKR specifies the maximum number of magic marker charges needed to write a spellbook of that type, or zero if it cannot be written. You may note that this number is 10 times the spell level. The actual number of charges used will be a random amount from MRKR/2 to MRKR-1. Wizards have a base 1/3 chance of writing an unknown book, and all other classes have a base 1/15 chance; your chance generally improves with higher luck, to a maximum of about 98% for Wizards and 32% for other classes. You can only write on spellbooks of blank paper, which can be made by getting any spellbook wet, cancelling any spellbook (except spellbooks of cancellation), or reading a spellbook until it is too faint to be read anymore. The Book of the Dead can't be blanked by any means. You can select non-blank spellbooks to write on, but this will abuse your wisdom and you will be told, "That spellbook is not blank!" Some spells provide a BONUS against spell failure. Each character class has a particular spell that they are good at casting (noted with class identifier). In addition, the spells marked with a plus (+) are emergency spells that grant an additional bonus. See the section on calculating spell failure below for details. Note that this column does NOT list which spellbooks a character may start with. Some types of spellbooks have the same APPEARANCE when unidentified. The appearance of the remaining spellbooks are are randomized from the following descriptions: parchment vellum ragged dog eared mottled stained cloth leather white pink red orange yellow velvet light green dark green turquoise cyan light blue dark blue indigo magenta purple violet tan plaid light brown dark brown gray wrinkled dusty bronze copper silver gold glittering shining dull thin thick Reading spellbooks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Each spellbook takes a certain number of turns to READ it, noted above. (Wearing lenses will reduce this number by, on average, one-third.) If the spellbook is cursed, you will fail to learn the spell, will be paralyzed for the given number of turns, and will be subject to a bad effect (chosen randomly, with worse effects only being able to be caused by higher-level spells): * You are teleported randomly. "You feel a wrenching sensation." * Monsters on the level are woken and unparalysed. "You feel threatened." * You are blinded for 250 to 349 turns. "A cloud of darkness falls upon you." "Oh, bummer! Everything is dark! Help!" (hallucinating) "Your vision seems to dim for a moment but is normal now" (blindness overcome by Eyes of the Overworld) "Your vision seems to dim for a moment but is happier now." (blindness overcome by Eyes of the Overworld, hallucinating) * You lose your gold in inventory, if any. "You notice you have no gold!" "You feel a strange sensation." (no gold to lose) * You become confused for 16 to 22 turns. "These runes were just too much to comprehend." * You are poisoned (1 to 10 damage, 3 to 6 strength loss; if poison resistant, 1 to 6 damage, 1 to 2 strength loss). Gloves will protect you from this, but ungreased metal gloves will be corroded. "The book was coated with contact poison!" * You get blasted by explosive energy (7 to 25 damage unless magic resistant). "As you read the book, it radiates explosive energy in your !" "The book radiates explosive energy, but you are unharmed!" (magic resistance) There is a 1/3 chance that the book then crumbles to dust. If the spellbook is uncursed, there is a random chance of the same effects happening as for a cursed spellbook, depending on your INTelligence, your experience level (XL),and the spellbook's level (LVL): 1 - ((INT + 4 +(XL/2) - (2 * LVL)) / 20) (If you are wearing lenses, the factor of 4 is increased to 6.) Wizards will be warned if this chance is non-zero and given the option to abort the reading attempt. Blessed spellbooks never cause these bad effects. You will never learn a spellbook while confused, and attempting while you are has a 1/3 chance of destroying the spellbook (except the Book of the Dead). "Being confused you have difficulties in controlling your actions. You accidentally tear the spellbook to pieces." (book destroyed). "You find yourself reading the line over and over again." (book not destroyed) If you are interrupted while reading, you may continue your efforts by reading the same spellbook again. When you successfully read a spellbook, there are four outcomes. If you do not yet know the spell, "You add the to your repertoire", ("You learn the " if the first spell you have learnt), identify the spellbook, get 20000 turns use of the spell, and increment the number of times you've studied that particular spellbook. For spells already known, if the book has four or more times previously been studied or polymorphed, "This spellbook is too faint to be read anymore" and the spellbook turns into blank paper. Otherwise, if you had 1000 or fewer turns use of the spell remaining, then "Your knowledge of the is keener", you have 20000 turns' use of the spell again, you exercise your wisdom, and the number of times you've studied that particular spellbook is incremented. But if "You know the quite well already", then there is no further effect and the number of times you've studied the spellbook is unchanged. Reading a spellbook will give you 20000 turns during which that spell can be used freely. If you use the spell towards the end of this time, you will get warning messages: 1001 to 20000 turns left No message. 101 to 1000 turns left "Your knowledge of this spell is growing faint." 1 to 100 turns left "You strain to recall the spell." Expiry of this time is denoted by an asterisk (*) next to the level in the spell's listing. If you try to cast an expired spell, "Your knowledge of this spell is twisted" and you will become stunned and/or confused for a number of turns depending on the spell's level (LVL): CHANCE CONFUSED STUNNED ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ 40% 3 * (LVL+1) 0 30% 2 * (LVL+1) (LVL+1) 20% (LVL+1) 2 * (LVL+1) 10% 0 3 * (LVL+1) You may reset the time left to 20000 turns by rereading the spellbook after the usage time has been reduced to 1000 turns. Reading the Book of the Dead has immediate effect. If you are standing on the vibrating square with a lit Candelabrum of Invocation with its quota of seven candles, and have rung the Bell of Opening there within the last four turns, and all three items are uncursed, then the staircase to Moloch's Sanctum is opened. Otherwise, the invocation fails, and a message is given to suggest why this may be the case. Outside of an invocation situation, if the Book is blessed you will tame nearby co-aligned undead, and render any other undead in sight peaceful and cause them to flee; if it is uncursed, there is no effect beyond a random message; if it is cursed, some undead will be summoned, corpses in your inventory revived and eggs in your inventory rejuvenated. Spell skills ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since the integration of the "wizard patch" into NetHack 3.3, characters have had individual skill levels associated with particular groups of spells, in a manner analogous to the weapon skills. As with weapons, continued use of a spell gives you practice in its spell school. With enough practice in a school of magic and experience levels, you may have the opportunity to advance your skill level in that school. This will in turn lead to reduced failure rates and an improvement in effects caused by spells in that school. There are specifically two requirements needed to advance a spell school: a number of successful castings of any spell in the school and a number of experience levels. Castings to a total of 20 are needed to achieve basic level, 80 to become skilled, and 180 to become expert, with each spell cast contributing a number equal to its level to this total. These are cumulative from the beginning of the game (though if you start out at basic level in a school you are precredited with the 20 castings that would have been needed to achieve it). The other criterion used to advance skill levels is experience levels. Each time you gain an experience level, you earn a "skill slot" that is used up when you an advance a skill. Thus you can earn a maximum of 29 skill slots, by advancing from level 1 to level 30. If you lose an experience level, you lose the associated skill slot; if that skill slot was used to enhance a skill, you will lose the most recently earned skill and are refunded the remaining skill slots from that skill level. Going from unskilled to basic or basic to skilled costs one slot; going from skilled to expert costs two slots. Note that these slots are shared with weapon skills. When you start the game, Healers and Monks will have basic skill in the healing school, Priests in clerical and Wizards in attack and enchantment; you will be unskilled in all other schools. When you reach the point when you can advance a skill category, you will see the message, "You feel more confident in your spell casting skills." You can then advance the skill using the #enhance command (alt-e on some systems). You may choose to not advance a skill level if you want to reserve the skill slots for a different school or weapon class. After advancing a skill, if you are ready to advance another skill (possibly the same one), you will get the message "You feel you could be more dangerous!" The #enhance command can also be used at any time to check your current skill levels. Different classes can reach different maximum levels in the spell schools, as follows: School Arc Bar Cav Hea Kni Mon Pri Ran Rog Sam Tou Val Wiz ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ attack : b s b - s b - - - s - b E healing : b - - E s E E b - - - - s divination : E - - - - b E E s - b - E enchantment : - - - - - b - - - - b - s clerical : - - - - s s E - - s - - s escape : - - - - - b - b s - s b E matter : b - s - - b - - s - - - E The term "restricted" is used to describe schools in which you are permanently unskilled. They do not appear in the #enhance menu, although you will see schools that are unskilled and can be advanced. Spell failure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are some preliminary needs that must be met for any spellcasting. The spell must be already known and have been (re)learnt less than 20000 turns ago. You need at least 11 nutrition (weak, near fainting) unless you are casting a spell of detect food. You must have a strength of at least 4, must have a free hand (both can't be welded to weapons and/or a shield), and must not be overtaxed. Finally, each attempt to cast a spell drains energy equal to 5 times the spell's level (randomly up to three times this amount if you have the Amulet) for a successful casting, or half as much for a failure. (See hppw-343.txt for details of how fast you will regain this energy.) Your hunger increases by twice the amount of energy that would be drained for a success regardless, but it will not make you faint. For Wizards, this hunger loss is reduced by an amount depending on intelligence; halved for INT of 15, quartered for INT of 16, or eliminated entirely for INT of 17 or greater. There are three factors that cause spells to fail: - Your armor. Metallic body armor, metallic helmets (except helm of brilliance), metallic gloves, metallic shoes, and any shield (although a small shield is not as bad) will penalize you. Fighter- type classes are not penalized as much as the other classes. The following items are "safe" for spellcasting: All shirts All dragon scales and dragon scale mails Leather jacket, leather armor, studded leather armor Crystal plate mail All cloaks and robes Elven leather helm, fedora, helm of brilliance Cornuthaum All gloves except gauntlets of power All boots except iron shoes and kicking boots So the "best" armor class you could achieve for spellcasting -- not including your intrinsic protection or item enchantments -- is with any shirt, any dragon scale mail, a robe, a helm of brilliance, gauntlets of dexterity, and high boots. Of course, there are other combinations that yield a lower AC or spellcasting ability but have strategic advantages. - The level of the spell, as shown above (LVL). - If you are confused, the spell will always fail. There are seven factors that improve spellcasting success: + Your class. Each class has its own base ability, armor penalties, bonuses for emergency spells, and a spell that they are especially good at. See the table below. + Your armor. Robes help offset a penalty for wearing metallic body armour, or grant an outright bonus if worn without it. + Your intelligence (Arc, Bar, Cav, Ran, Rog, Sam, Tou, Wiz) or wisdom (Hea, Kni, Mon, Pri, Val). + Your experience level. + Your skill in the school of the spell. + Certain "emergency" spells get an extra bonus. They are noted with a plus (+) in the above BONUS column. The amount of the bonus depends on your class. Note that Rangers and Tourists are actually penalized for these spells. + If you have the teleport intrinsic ("teleportitis"), you may be able to perform a self-teleport (^T) without using the teleport away spell. You also must be at least experience level 12 (8 if a Wizard) or be polymorphed into a teleporting monster, may not be overtaxed, must have at least 6 strength, and need 100 nutrition and 19 energy (both of which are consumed). If you fall into water with teleportitis or as a teleporting monster, you may automatically attempt to cast a self-teleport to get out. Finally, characters with teleportitis will always teleport at random intervals. To calculate spell failure, you first need to sum together the penalties marked with a number sign (#) below. An increasing total penalty is worse for spellcasting, and is limited to a maximum of 20. # The "BASE" value from the table below, depending on the character's class. # If an "emergency" spell (noted with a + above), the "EMERG" field. # If wearing any shield, the amount in the "SHIELD" field. # If wearing metallic body armor, the amount in the "SUIT" field. If also wearing a robe, only add half the amount (rounded down). # If wearing a robe without metallic armour, *subtract* the amount in the "SUIT" field. # If wearing a metallic helmet other than the helm of brilliance, add 4. (Metal helmets interfere with the mind.) # Metallic gloves add 6 (casting channels through the hands). # Metallic boots add 2 (all metal interferes to some degree). # Add -4 if the spell is special to that class (see table). CLASS BASE EMERG SHIELD SUIT STAT SPECIAL SPELL ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arc 5# 0# 2# 10# Int Magic mapping Bar 14# 0# 0# 8# Int Haste self Cav 12# 0# 1# 8# Int Dig Hea 3# -3# 2# 10# Wis Cure sickness Kni 8# -2# 0# 9# Wis Turn undead Mon 8# -2# 2# 20# Wis Restore ability Pri 3# -2# 2# 10# Wis Remove curse Ran 9# 2# 1# 10# Int Invisibility Rog 8# 0# 1# 9# Int Detect treasure Sam 10# 0# 0# 8# Int Clairvoyance Tou 5# 1# 2# 10# Int Charm monster Val 10# -2# 0# 9# Wis Cone of cold Wiz 1# 0# 3# 10# Int Magic missile Next, calculate a base chance of success, which is 5.5 times your intelligence or wisdom STAT, depending on your class. This chance is modified by the following factors: # SKILL level (unskilled = 0, basic = 1, skilled = 2, expert = 3) # spell level (LVL) # experience level (XL) according to this formula: difficulty = (LVL * 4) - (SKILL * 6) - (XL/3) - 5 If this is positive, your chance is reduced according to another formula: chance = base chance - square root of ((900 * difficulty) + 2000) Otherwise, it will be increased with diminishing returns: the absolute value is multiplied by (15/LVL), capped at 20, and added to the base chance. The resulting chance is clipped to the range of 0% to 120% success. If you are wearing a shield larger than a small shield, the chance is then reduced to 1/4 its amount (except if it is the special spell for your class -- then it is only halved). Finally, the chance of success is adjusted by your total penalty using the following formula: chance = (chance * (20-penalty) / 15) - penalty The result is clipped to the range of 0% to 100% success.

Revised, corrected, added to, pruned, and updated by Boudewijn Waijers, Adam Dawes, and Sascha Wostmann. Revised, etc. for 3.4.3 by Dylan O'Donnell . NetHack, being the addictive game that it is, obviously leaves the player vastly less time to write messages for newsgroups than would otherwise be the case. As a result, the Usenet newsgroup rec.games.roguelike.nethack is liable to be full of cryptic acronyms and abbreviations. This document contains a list of all the more popular (and some of the less popular) acronyms that you might find while reading the newsgroup. Some people may consider knowledge of some of the item names mentioned to be spoilers; such people are hereby warned. Acronyms and abbreviations in common use across Usenet as a whole are not covered; there are plenty of other FAQs out there that explain those. Some general abbreviations and usages ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ rgrn rec.games.roguelike.nethack (also r.g.r.n.). SLASH Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack - a variant of NetHack. SLASH'EM Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack: Extended Magic - another, and the most commonly played, variant of NetHack.

YKYBPTMNW... You Know You've Been Playing Too Much NetHack When... (also YKYPNTLW... You know you've played NetHack too long (or: late) when...). IDHTS[C]IFOM I Don't Have The Source [Code] In Front Of Me. UTSL Use The Source, Luke. TDTTOE The DevTeam Think of Everything.

Levels and places ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VotD Valley of the Dead. VS Vibrating Square. A note on object abbreviations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following convention has become popular amongst many rgrn posters for object abbreviations: the (ASCII) symbol used within the game to represent the object precedes the abbreviation to make things clearer. So, for example, a potion of confusion would be abbreviated to "!PoC". However, the redundancy involved offends some people's sense of elegance, and you will find both PoC and !oC (not to mention PoConf) as alternative representations of the same item. Also, a lowercase 'b', 'u' or 'c' may sometimes be prepended to the abbreviation to denote blessed/uncursed/cursed status; for example, 'b?SoG' might be used to indicate a blessed scroll of genocide. The lists below only include the items most commonly referred to by abbreviations; but any object might be referred to by an abbreviation on the same general schema (usually only once context for it has been established).

Potions comprise 16% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 18% in containers, 22% on the Rogue level, and 1% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype. They appear 1/8 cursed, 3/4 uncursed, and 1/8 blessed. Some types of potions have the same APPEARANCE when unidentified.

What happens when you (q)uaff a potion usually depends on whether the potion was blessed, uncursed, or cursed. If a monster can quaff a potion, the effects upon the monster are documented below; all other potions won't be quaffed by monsters. When a potion hits a monster, the monster will be awoken and has an 80% chance of losing one hit point (but not killed), and then suffers the effects described below. If you didn't see the monster get hit, you will be told, "Crash!". Monsters are not angered by potions of (extra|full) healing, (gain|restore) ability, speed, invisibility, water thrown at gremlins, or unholy water thrown at werecreatures, demons or undead; other potions will cause peaceful monsters to become hostile if you were the thrower. If a potion hits you, you lose 1 to 2 hit points and get the effects of breathing vapors described below unless the potion has a specific effect for hitting you. You may also breathe vapors if you are near a potion when it breaks (e.g., it hit a monster, was hit by a wand of striking, or was kicked). If you are polymorphed into an unbreathing monster, the vapours will get into your eyes for the same effect. If you are polymorphed into a monster that neither breathes nor has eyes, vapours will have no effect. acid Cures stoning. If you are acid resistant, no effect. "This tastes sour."

(if seen) vapors If you are a gremlin, you multiply with the new gremlin having half as many maximum hit points as you. "You multiply." If the potion is holy water and you are a lycanthrope in your wereform, you will revert to your @ form. If the potion is unholy water and you are a lycanthrope in your @ form, you will change to your wereform.

General Wishing Guidelines There are 5 ways to get a wish: 1. Wands of wishing: generated with up to 3 charges. Empty (0:0) ones can be recharged only once with a scroll of charging (or equivalent). This will bring the number of charges to d3 with normal or 3 with blessed charging. Also, you have a 1/121 chance of getting a final zap from an empty wand, after which it will turn to dust. So once you've recharged it and used up all wishes, you can get one final wish by zapping it repeatedly. Tip #1: If you don't have the means to recharge it, make sure you use your first wish on something to do this with. Blessed scrolls of charging are the most obvious way, but if you've already seen one of those, wish for a magic marker instead. Tip #2: If your luck is d5 or more below zero, you will not get a wish (``Unfortunately, nothing happens''). 2. A magic lamp: #rubbing it repeatedly will eventually release a djinni. If the lamp is blessed, there is a 4/5 chance of getting a wish (1/5 if uncursed, 1/20 if cursed). Once you get the djinni from a magic lamp, it becomes a normal lamp, and can't be recharged to give you another wish. Some players save magic lamps if they don't desperately need a wish, since they are permanent light sources. 3. A fountain: Quaffing or dipping at a fountain has a 1/30 chance of releasing a water demon who has a (20 - dungeon level)/100 chance of giving you a wish. 4. Quaffing a smoky potion: There is a 1/(13 + 2*djinnis created in the game) chance of it containing a djinni. If the potion was blessed, it will grant you a wish 4/5 of the time (1/5 if uncursed, 1/20 if cursed). 5. Sitting on a throne: If your luck is not d5 or more below zero, you have a 1/39 chance of getting a wish. After you sit on a throne, it can vanish in a puff of logic. Considering all factors, the overall chance for getting at least one wish from a throne, if your luck is at least zero and you don't kick it, is very close to 3/40. (Or exactly that if you have teleport control and make sure you teleport away from the throne, if it makes you teleport.) Other than the wand, these methods have a possibility of a hazardous outcome. If you do get a wish, remember that you are not always given an artifact when you wish for it (``For a moment, you feel something in your body part, but it disappears!'') and that only your god can unrestrict weapon skills (by crowning or when granting you a weapon). The odds for getting an artifact are inversely proportional to the number of artifacts already created in the game. The following table is from the artifacts spoiler by Kevin Hugo and Dylan O'Donnell: Number of artifacts 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 n Chance 1 1 2/3 2/4 2/5 2/6 2/7 2/n+1 There is no reliable way to wish for another wish. Don't waste a wish on another wand of wishing or a magic lamp. The only possible way is to wish for blessed smoky potions, which have a possibility of giving you a wish. Note that NetHack accepts both British and American English, so you can wish for ``a blessed can of grey dragon meat''. Samurai can also use the English names, and other classes may use the Japanese ones. How many, what enchantment, blessed? When wishing for a ``stackable'' item, you should always ask for more than one. The random number generator may only give you one, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Similarly, you should specify an enchantment, since you'll get +0 if it fails. Asking for it to be blessed (or cursed) and/or fooproof doesn't hurt and is guaranteed to work if your luck is non-negative. Asking for a specific number of charges using ``(x:y)'' or ``+x'' is possible, but for anything except rings, the lower of a random value and your number is chosen. Ring charges are treated as enchantments below. Opinions differ on whether it is better to wish for quantities of 2 or 3 and enchantments of +2 or +3. A summary of the odds (thanks to Dylan O'Donnell) follows: Quantity Chance Average Enchantment Chance Average 1 1 1 +1 1 +1 2 2/3 1.66 +2 4/5 +1.6 3 1/2 2 +3 3/5 +1.8 4 1/3 2 +4 2/5 +1.6 5 1/6 1.66 +5 1/5 +1 6 0 1 +6 0 +0 The exceptions to the above table are candles (up to 7 are guaranteed), missile weapons (up to 20), and gold pieces (up to 5000). As with everything else, this is situation dependent. For example, if you really need two charging scrolls, play it safe and only ask for two. What to Wish For? Answer: It depends. It depends on your character class, on your playing style, on your game situation, on your NetHack ethics (eg. polypiling, wishing for artifacts), the number of wishes, and your current inventory. The general consensus for an early wish is gray or silver dragon scale mail, since they provide important intrinsics you can't easily get elsewhere-you eventually want both magic resistance and reflection, and these are good ways to get them. Gray dragon scale mail is considered better for most classes as magic resistance protects from some potentially nasty traps. Also, an amulet of reflection could be waiting in Sokoban. One of the most powerful tools you can wish for is a magic marker. It can be used to write scrolls or spellbooks. This is reliable only if the resulting object is already known. The base chance of writing an unknown scroll or spellbook is 1/15 (1/3 for wizards). This will improve with higher luck and reach about 32% (98% for wizards) at maxed-out luck. Many useful spellbooks are low-level, and that means cheap. A spellbook of magic missile, for example, costs maximum 19 charges and is thus not worth wishing for, if you are a wizard. Speed boots are also a popular choice, especially for characters without intrinsic speed. But even these are situation dependent: * If you haven't found a bag after the Mines and Sokoban, a bag of holding might make sense. * If you're burdened and wimpy, perhaps gauntlets of power * If you're a poor typist, perhaps an amulet of life saving * If it's a wand, wish for scrolls of charging. * etc. Take a look at the Specific Needs section if your condition needs some help right now. Remember that you need to consider your situation before you can pick the best item.

Additionally, praying can result in being crowned, which can give you Excalibur (Law), Vorpal Blade (Neu), or Stormbringer (Cha). Be sure to wield a long sword while praying to get Excalibur. Creating it by dipping a long sword into a fountain is easier still. Also, obtaining a dragon scale mail is sometimes possible before getting the first wish opportunity. If you find dragon scales, you can create your own mail by wearing the scales as your only armor and reading a noncursed scroll of enchant armor. Blessed scrolls will additionally bless the new armor and increase it's enchantment by one (scales enchantment is preserved otherwise). Quest Artifacts You cannot wish for your own quest artifact. However, it is possible to wish for the quest artifacts of other classes. As with any artifacts, your odds are inversely proportional to the number of artifacts already created. Quest artifacts may not be as powerful for other classes and will blast you with their power when picked up, worn, or wielded. If you are not of their alignment, they will evade your grasp and you will not be able to use them at all (your own quest artifact's alignment will be adjusted to yours). Wish for Align Cl Only for intended class blessed Orb of Detection Law A blessed rustproof +2 Sceptre of Might Law C blessed Magic Mirror of Merlin Law K 2x damage with some spells blessed rustproof +2 Mitre of Holiness Law P 1/2 dmg from undead&demons blessed +2 Tsurugi of Muramasa Law S blessed Platinum Yendorian Express Card Neu T blessed charging blessed Orb of Fate Neu V blessed Eye of the Aethiopica Neu W blessed Heart of Ahriman Neu B blessed fireproof +2 Staff of Aesculapius Neu H blessed Eyes of the Overworld Neu M blessed fireproof +2 Longbow of Diana Cha Ra blessed Master Key of Thievery Cha Ro Quest artifact weapons are usually a poor choice, though the Staff or the Sceptre might be practical with some roles, especially in situations where you cannot unrestrict skills. There are few cases where lawful or chaotic characters will wish for others' quest artifacts at all (unless they intend to change alignment). The Tsurugi loses much of its appeal, because it needs both hands. The others in the lawful section just lack power compared to other wishes. The Key is sometimes chosen when you need teleport control and warning. Neutral quest artifacts are much more powerful. Depending on role, you may wish for any one of them, except the pretty useless Heart. Consult an artifacts spoiler for their effects. About this document ...
