0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	12 1. INTRODUCTION
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	13
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	14 Rogue is a screen-oriented fantasy game set in the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	15 ever-changing Dungeons of Doom. The game comes complete
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	16 with monsters, spells, weapons, armor, potions, and other
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	17 magical items. The dungeon's geography changes with every
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	18 game, and although many magical items have certain
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	19 identifiable properties, such as turning the player
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	20 invisible, the physical manifestation of the magic changes
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	21 each game. A red potion, for example, will cause the same
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	22 reaction throughout a given game, but it may be a completely
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	23 different potion in a new game.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	24
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	25 Entering the dungeon with only a little food, armor,
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	26 and a weapon, the player must develop a good strategy of
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	27 when to fight, when to run, and how to best use any magical
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	28 items found in the dungeon. To make things interesting, the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	29 player has a quest to return one of several unique
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	30 artifacts, rumored to lie deep in the dungeon's bowels.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	31 Returning with this artifact brings great glory and the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	32 title of Complete Winner. But even after finding the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	33 artifact, the player may wish to continue further to match
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	34 wits with an arch-devil, demon prince, or even a deity found
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	35 far down in the dungeon. Defeating such a creature will
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	36 gain the player many experience points, the basis for
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	37 scoring in Rogue.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	38
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	39 It is very difficult to return from the Dungeons of
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	40 Doom. Few people ever make it out alive. Should this
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	41 unlikely event occur, the player would be proclaimed a
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	42 complete winner and handsomely rewarded for any booty
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	43 removed from the dungeon.

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	47
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	48 Before placing the player in the dungeon, the game
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	49 requests the player to select a character class: a fighter,
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	50 a magic user, a cleric, or a thief.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	51
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	52 2.1 The_Fighter
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	53
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	54 A fighter is very strong and will have a high strength
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	55 rating. This great strength gives a fighter the best odds
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	56 of winning a battle with a monster. At high experience
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	57 levels the fighter also gets to attack multiple times in a
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	58 single turn. This obviously further increases his chances
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	59 at winning battles. Intrinsic to the fighter class is a
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	60 robustness which results in 1 to 10 extra hit points for
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	61
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	62

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	78 2.2 The_Magician
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	79
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	80 A magician's major attribute is intelligence, which
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	81 enables the magician to cast spells. The number and variety
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	82 of spells increases as the magician gains experience and
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	83 intelligence. Other types of characters can cast spells,
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	84 but only if they manage to gain extraordinarily high
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	85 intelligence. Magic users are not as hearty as fighters;
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	86 they receive 1 to 8 extra hit points for every new
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	87 experience level.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	88
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	89 2.3 The_Cleric
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	90
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	91 A cleric has a high wisdom rating and can thus pray.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	92 The number and variety of prayers which the gods are willing
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	93 to grant to a cleric increase as the cleric gains experience
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	94 and wisdom. Other character types can pray only if they
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	95 manage to gain extraordinary wisdom.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	96
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	97 Because of their religious nature, clerics can also
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	98 affect the "undead" beings, like zombies and ghouls, which
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	99 became monsters after they died. If an "undead" creature is
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	100 next to a cleric, the cleric may try to turn it and cause it
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	101 to flee. If the cleric is sufficiently powerful relative to
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	102 the monster, the cleric will destroy it. This ability
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	103 increases as the character gains experience levels.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	104
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	105 Clerics can gain from 1 to 8 extra hit points on
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	106 reaching a new experience level.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	107
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	108 2.4 The_Thief
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	109
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	110 A thief is exceptionally dextrous and has a good chance
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	111 to set a trap or rob a monster. Any type of character can
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	112 try to set a trap or steal from a monster standing next to
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	113 the character, but the chances of success are low compared
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	114 to a thief's chances.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	115
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	116 By their nature, thieves can automatically detect all
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	117 the gold on the current level of the dungeon. They are also
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	118 good at detecting hidden traps. Because thieves slink
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	119 along, they are not as likely as other characters to wake
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	120 sleeping monsters. If a thief manages to sneak up on a
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	121 creature without waking it, he will get a chance to backstab
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	122 the monster. When this is done, the damage done by the thief
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	123 greatly increases based on his experience level.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	124
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	125 Thieves gain from 1 to 6 extra hit points from a new
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	126 experience level.

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	144 Every character has a constitution rating. A character
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	145 with an exceptionally good constitution will gain more than
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	146 the normal amount of hit points associated with the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	147 character's class when the character reaches a new
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	148 experience level. Exceptional constitution also provides
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	149 better protection versus poison-based attacks and diseases.

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	153 Characters gain experience for killing monsters,
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	154 stealing from monsters, and turning monsters. Each
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	155 character class has a set of thresholds associated with it.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	156 When a character reaches a threshold, the character attains
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	157 the next experience level. This new level brings extra hit
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	158 points and a greater chance of success in performing the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	159 abilities associated with the character's class. Magicians
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	160 receive new spells, and clerics receive new prayers.

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	672 Without any armor the player has an armor class of 10.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	673 The lower the player's armor class, the harder it is for a
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	674 monster to hit the player, so wearing armor can improve the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	675 player's armor class. A cursed suit of armor, however,
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	676 offers poor protection and may sometimes be worse than no
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	677 armor at all.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	678
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	679 After the player has identified a suit of armor, the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	680 protection bonus appears before the armor's name in an
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	681 inventory listing. If the bonus is positive the armor is
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	682 blessed, and if it is negative, the armor is usually cursed.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	683 The player cannot remove a cursed suit of armor.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	684
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	685 Some monsters can corrode armor when they hit it. If
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	686 such a monster hits the player when the player is wearing
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	687 metal armor, the armor loses some of its protection value,
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	688 but the corrosion does not curse the armor.

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	693 The player can frequently find potions and scrolls in
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	694 the dungeon. In any given dungeon, the player can
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	695 distinguish among the different types of potions by a
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	696 potion's color and among the different types of scrolls by a
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	697 scroll's name. Quaffing a potion or reading a scroll
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	698 usually causes some magical occurrence. Most potions and
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	699 scrolls may be cursed or blessed.

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	704 The player can wear a maximum of eight rings, and they
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	705 have a magical effect on the player as long as they are
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	706 worn. Some rings also speed up the player's metabolism,
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	707 making the player require food more often. Many rings can
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	708 be cursed or blessed, and the player cannot remove a cursed
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	709 ring. The player can distinguish among different types of
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	710 rings by a ring's jewel.

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	715 Wands and staves affect the player's environment. The
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	716 player can zap a wand or staff at something and perhaps
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	717 shoot a bolt of lightning at it or teleport it away. All
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	718 wands or staves of the same type are constructed with the

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	739 moving through the dungeon fighting monsters consumes a lot
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	740 of energy. Starving results in the player's fainting for
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	741 increasingly longer periods of time, during which any nearby

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	747 Gold has one use in a dungeon: buying things. One can
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	748 buy things in two ways, either in a trading post or from a
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	749 quartermaster. A trading post is a place "between levels"
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	750 of the dungeon and can be entered by stepping on the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	751 entrance. A quartermaster is a person who will sometimes
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	752 appear and will try to sell the player some of his wares.
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	753 These wares are never cursed and frequently blessed, though
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	754 blessed goods cost more than normal goods. If the player
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	755 chooses to buy one of the quartermaster's items, the
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	756 quartermaster trades the item for the specified amount of
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	757 gold and disappears. Attacking a quartermaster causes him
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	758 to vanish without offering a trade.

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	763 Miscellaneous items such as a pair of boots or a book
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	764 may be found within the dungeon. These items can usually be
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	765 used to the player's advantage (assuming they are not
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	766 cursed). Some of these items can be worn, such as a cloak,

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	805 appears in a limited range of dungeon levels. All monsters
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	806 of the same type share the same abilities; all giant rats,

0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	810 much more difficult to kill than another one. In general,
0ed67132cf10 Import Advanced Rogue 5.8 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) elwin parents: diff changeset	811 the more difficult it is to kill a monster, the more
