adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	16 1. INTRODUCTION
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	17
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	18 Rogue is a screen-oriented fantasy game set in the
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	19 ever-changing Dungeons of Doom. The game comes complete
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	20 with monsters, spells, weapons, armor, potions, and other
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	21 magical items. The dungeon's geography changes with every
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	22 game, and although many magical items have certain
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	23 identifiable properties, such as turning the player
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	24 invisible, the physical manifestation of the magic changes
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	25 each game. A red potion, for example, will cause the same
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	26 reaction throughout a given game, but it may be a completely
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	27 different potion in a new game.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	29 Entering the dungeon with only a little food, armor,
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	30 and a weapon, the player must develop a good strategy of
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	31 when to fight, when to run, and how to best use any magical
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	32 items found in the dungeon. To make things interesting, the
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	33 player has a quest to return one of several unique
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	34 artifacts, rumored to lie deep in the dungeon's bowels.
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	35 Returning with this artifact brings great glory and the
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	36 title of Complete Winner. But even after finding the
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	37 artifact, the player may wish to continue further to match
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	38 wits with an arch-devil, demon prince, or even a deity found
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	39 far down in the dungeon. Defeating such a creature will
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	40 gain the player many experience points, the basis for
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	41 scoring in Rogue.
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	42
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	43 It is very difficult to return from the Dungeons of
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	44 Doom. Few people ever make it out alive. Should this
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	45 unlikely event occur, the player would be proclaimed a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	46 complete winner and handsomely rewarded for any booty
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	47 removed from the dungeon.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	52 Before placing the player in the dungeon, the game
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	53 requests the player to select what type of character they
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	54 would like to be: a fighter, a magic user, a cleric, a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	55 druid, a thief, a paladin, a ranger, a monk, or an assassin.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	59 A fighter is very strong and will have a high strength
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	60 rating. This great strength gives a fighter the best odds
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	61 of winning a battle with a monster. At high experience

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	75 single turn. This obviously further increases his chances
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	76 at winning battles. Intrinsic to the fighter class is a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	77 robustness which results in 1 to 12 extra hit points for

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	82 A Magician is able to "cast" spells. The number and

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	84 and intelligence. Magic users are not as hearty as
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	85 fighters; they receive 1 to 6 extra hit points for every new

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	90 A cleric is able to "pray" to his god for help. The
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	91 number and variety of prayers which the gods are willing to
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	92 grant to a cleric increase as the cleric gains experience
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	93 and wisdom.
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	94
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	95 Because of their religious nature, clerics can also
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	96 affect the "undead" beings, like zombies and ghouls, which
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	97 became monsters after they died. If an "undead" creature is
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	98 next to a cleric, the cleric may try to turn it and cause it
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	99 to flee. If the cleric is sufficiently powerful relative to
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	100 the monster, the cleric will destroy it. This ability
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	101 increases as the character gains experience levels.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	103 Clerics can gain from 1 to 8 extra hit points on
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	104 reaching a new experience level.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	108 The druid is a cleric of sorts but worships nature
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	109 rather than a god. The druid is able to "chant" and thereby
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	110 recieve certain types of spells. Most of the chants are
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	111 targeted more towards the elements and nature.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	113 Druids gain from 1 to 8 hit points when they gain an

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	116 2.5 The Thief
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	117
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	118 A thief is exceptionally dextrous and has a good chance
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	119 to set a trap or rob a monster.
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	120
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	121 By their nature, thieves can automatically detect all
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	122 the gold on the current level of the dungeon. They are also
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	123 good at detecting hidden traps. Because thieves slink
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	124 along, they are not as likely as other characters to wake
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	125 sleeping monsters. If a thief manages to sneak up on a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	126 creature without waking it, he will get a chance to backstab
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	127 the monster. When this is done, the damage done by the thief

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	147 The paladin is a type of holy warrior. Somewhat of a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	148 cross between a fighter and a cleric. He is able to pray and
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	149 turn undead as a cleric, (but to a lesser degree) but fights
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	150 as a fighter. He is on the side of all that is good and

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	743 such as taking an inventory, take time. The amount of time
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	744 varies with the command. Swinging a weapon, for example,
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	745 takes more time than simply moving; so a monster could move

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	748 based on the bulk of the weapon, and the time it takes to
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	749 simply move a space varies with the type of armor worn.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	752 Since actions take time, some of them can be disrupted.
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	753 If the player is casting a spell, for example, and gets hit

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	755 player might choke if hit while trying to eat. Of course,
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	756 the same rule applies when the player hits a monster.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	775 depends on the particular weapon the player is wielding. To

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	777 the player should wield the bow and "throw" the bolt or

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	780 A weapon may be cursed or blessed, affecting the

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	782 damage the weapon will inflict on the monster. If the

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	801 The lower the player's armor class, the harder it is for a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	802 monster to hit the player, so wearing armor can improve the
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	803 player's armor class. A cursed suit of armor, however,
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	804 offers poor protection and may sometimes be worse than no

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	807 After the player has identified a suit of armor, the

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	810 blessed, and if it is negative, the armor is usually cursed.
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	811 The player cannot remove a cursed suit of armor.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	813 Some monsters can corrode armor when they hit it. If
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	814 such a monster hits the player when the player is wearing
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	815 metal armor, the armor loses some of its protection value,
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	816 but the corrosion does not curse the armor. This corrosive
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	817 property can also apply to weapons when the player hits such

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	824 the dungeon. In any given dungeon, the player can
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	825 distinguish among the different types of potions by a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	826 potion's color and among the different types of scrolls by a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	827 scroll's name. Quaffing a potion or reading a scroll
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	828 usually causes some magical occurrence. Most potions and
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	829 scrolls may be cursed or blessed.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	834 The player can wear a maximum of eight rings, and they
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	835 have a magical effect on the player as long as they are
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	836 worn. Some rings also speed up the player's metabolism,
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	837 making the player require food more often. Many rings can
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	838 be cursed or blessed, and the player cannot remove a cursed
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	839 ring. The player can distinguish among different types of

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	846 player can zap a wand or staff at something and perhaps

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	881 Gold has one use in a dungeon: buying things. One can
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	882 buy things in two ways, either in a trading post or from a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	883 quartermaster. A trading post is a place that sometimes
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	884 occurs "between levels" of the dungeon and can be entered by
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	885 stepping on the entrance. A quartermaster is a person who
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	886 will sometimes appear and will try to sell the player some
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	887 of his wares. These wares are never cursed and frequently
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	888 blessed, though blessed goods cost more than normal goods.
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	889 If the player chooses to buy one of the quartermaster's
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	890 items, the quartermaster trades the item for the specified
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	891 amount of gold and disappears. Attacking a quartermaster
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	892 causes him to vanish without offering a trade.

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	894 The player starts the game in a trading post with a
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	895 class-dependent allotment of gold. Although there are

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	897 paladins, and rangers can wield two-handed swords), the
adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	898 market will happily sell the player anything that he can

adfa37e67084 Import Advanced Rogue 7.7 from the Roguelike Restoration Project (r1490) John "Elwin" Edwards parents: diff changeset	954 the more difficult it is to kill a monster, the more
