| Barony (Video Game) | comment |
Barony is a rogue-like first-person RPG inspired by Ultima Underworld, System Shock, and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. The goal of the game is to descend to the bottom of a dark dungeon known as the Devil's Bastion and destroy an undead lich named Baron Herx, who terrorized the peaceful town of Hamlet in life and is now harboring a curse against the land from beyond the grave. To aid you in your quest are friendly humans who have been eeking out a rough life within the dungeon for generations, as well as any friends you can bring with you in real life: Barony is the first of its kind as a first-person roguelike in that it fully supports cooperative multiplayer for up to four players. | |

Shop Fodder | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_127027b1 | comment |
Shop Fodder: Downplayed - gemstones have no use besides being extremely valuable baubles to be sold at shops, but can be used as last resort thrown weapons. This is particularly true if you manage to identify worthless glasses early game. Meanwhile, nearly every other item in the game has a use if the player is inventive enough. Towels? Use them to bandage your wounds and stop bleeding, or wipe yourself clean. Scrolls that set you on fire or destroy your gear? The former supercharge your boiler instantly if you're playing as an automaton, and the latter can be used to destroy cursed gear that's stuck on you. Moldy custard pie? Throw it at an enemy to both humiliate and blind them. Cursed staffs that you can't unequip until they're burnt out? Using them still increases your Casting and Magic skills, with no MP cost. Literal rocks? Throw 'em ahead of you to trigger Boulder and Spike traps, or just bean your enemies with them. Books that contain nothing but Flavor Text? Very practical food sources for Automatons. | |

| Barony (Video Game) / int_14df589e | comment |
The Netherworld, which is a Doom-esque journey through a realm of scorched red stone, an iron-gray sky, and more monsters than you can shake a stick at. Unlike the others, this bonus level extends for several floors, culminating in a boss battle against Baron Herx's master. Defeating him will still send you to Hamlet to face the Crystal Caves as always. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
The Joker starts with questionable equipment - a slingshot (which does little damage to skeletons), a blindfold, a Confuse spellbook (which costs considerable mana), pies, a food scroll, a luckstone (which reduce inventory weight), among other trinkets. They are the base game class most susceptible to Early Game Hell, but with the ability to levitate (aided by their starting levitation ring) and an equal stat growth potential, they are able to find good equipment in unreachable locations, potentially growing into one of the most favorable classes by midgame. | |

Purely Aesthetic Gender: Averted, as mentioned above. Female player characters have one more intellect and one less strength than their male counterparts of each class. Actually Inverted if playing as a skeleton, since skeleton players use the same model regardless of gender. | |

Run, Don't Walk | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_1778d9a0 | comment |
Run, Don't Walk: Your character will always move at their maximum speed (except when using offhand equipment or sneaking), which is modified by Dexterity, when above a certain percentage of their carry weight. Once they begin carrying items and equipping more armor, their speed decreases at different rates some noticeable some not so much. Constitution increases their carry weight limit and raises the value of the weight that will begin reducing speed, so leveling up increases your net speed overall. | |

RPGs Equal Combat | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_178cb4b9 | comment |
RPGs Equal Combat: Played with. The best equipment can be found both by defeating unique enemies carrying it and in random chests. Sometimes you'll find these "Legendary" weapons twice in one run, potentially eliminating combat challenge for melee characters or even turning a mage or rogue into a Battle Mage or Lightning Bruiser because of these weapons' power, especially in the early floors. | |

Abandoned Mine | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_1bc0ca82 | comment |
Abandoned Mine: Levels 1-5 are the remnants of Herx' initial gold mining operations. Poor lighting and an abundance of skeletons are your biggest opponents here; Boulder Traps are also much more dangerous here than they are further down, as they blend in substantially better with the rocky gray ceiling, and your HP is likely too low to survive a hit from one. | |

Voluntary Shapeshifting | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_1fb440a6 | comment |
Voluntary Shapeshifting: The Polymorph spell, which comes in both potion and spellbook formats. Non-humans will always turn into a Human for a set amount of time, allowing them to interact with their "fellow humans" without risk of being spontaneously murdered. The effects are somewhat less reliable for true humans; you may get unlucky and turn into a Vampire right as you're starving to death and there's no source of blood around. The Shaman class specializes in this, being able to transform into several different creatures that each offer different stat boosts and innate spells. | |

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown | |

Minetown. Unlike the other bonus levels, Minetown is fully lit and monster-free; many friendly humans and numerous shopkeepers eke out a living in the depths of the dungeon here. Human adventurers can rest up, recruit companions, and do some shopping. Unfortunately, if you're something that's hostile to humans, you just walked into the wrong neighborhood. | |

The Haunted Castle, a suspiciously-deserted castle full of loot with absolutely no strings attached whatsoever! The Oracle's Treads, boots of the Artifact Set, lie here. They can be taken at will without any risk whatsoever. Pay no heed to the mass of frenzied ghouls that spawn upon looting its treasures. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: Invoked. Not forced, but dying in multiplayer will spill your entire inventory on the ground, forcing you to respawn naked if your pals can't collect your belongings, or potentially encumber themselves to help you out while potentially leaving behind other resources. In single player you simply die and explode into your carried treasure. It's as defeating as it sounds. | |

Limited-Use Magical Device: Scrolls, although they're something of a gamble. You found a magic scroll; great! It may do anything from upgrading your equipment to spewing out a cornucopia of food to setting you on fire! Having a good Appraisal skill will take the guesswork out of using one, thankfully. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Dominating a Cockatrice. Sure, it's a beefy follower with a strong attack (especially in Hardcore), a Paralysis attack and can fly, but it cannot sleep to boost its health regeneration, cannot eat to heal a bit, cannot wear anything to boost its AC and usually makes you waste a Life Saving amulet (unless you choose to whittle down its health first), so whether or not it's worth it to dominate the Cockatrice is dependant on the player's ability to keep it healed via magic or alchemy. | |

The Wizard starts off as a Glass Cannon. He has fearsome damage output, but in exchange, he has a small pool of MP and an absolutely pathetic HP pool; the only enemy he can kill in melee is the humble rat, and even then he'll be near-death when it's over. If you survive long enough and learn some spells, however, the Wizard rapidly snowballs into one of the most overpowered characters in the entire game. | |

Shoplift and Die: Continuing the proud Roguelike tradition of Shopkeepers being nearly as deadly as the final boss, store owners have Legendary casting skill. Enraging one, or being a member of a hostile race, will lead to you being bombarded by an infinite stream of Force Bolts. Fortunately, they stay in their shops and aren't very aggressive, so they won't pursue you for very long. | |

Stat Grinding | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_36736927 | comment |
Identifying items using the appraise command nets you a sum of experience depending on the item you identified. Glass shards and gems look identical in the inventory, but gems will net you a respectable boost of exp when identified. This also improves your Appraise skill by 10% of the exp awarded, making subsequent appraisals faster and allowing you to identify higher-tier equipment. | |

Squishy Wizard: In classical fashion, the majority of the spellcasting-focused classes can't take much more than a stiff breeze before keeling over. Special mention goes to the Mesmer, which is not only tied for the lowest Constitution growth of any classnote the other classes with a Con growth of 1 are the Accursed, Rogue, and Hunter, but also has the lowest starting Constitution stat at a measly negative four. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Playing as a Human is this compared to the other races. You may not be able to drink blood, eat junk items, or freely use cursed equipment, but in exchange, you have no dietary restrictions, and other humans - including the extremely powerful Hero NPCs who randomly appear throughout the dungeon, and the Shopkeepers - are friendly. The humble Sword-and-Board build is as practical here as it is in the likes of Dark Souls. Not only will it make you much more tanky against melee-oriented foes, you can get your hands on Reflect Magic equipment to become essentially immune to ranged combat into the bargain. The Cleric, unsurprisingly; they combine decent starting stats and equipment with better magical aptitude than most melee classes. Their starting weapon is also a Mace, which is exceptionally effective against the skeletons who make up most of the enemies in the Mines. These factors make them quite helpful for beginners, but don't expect to be doing anything particularly flashy for a while. Appraisal. The only thing this skill governs is how quickly you identify items, and which items you can identify.Explanation As long as you have an unidentified item in your inventory, you will repeatedly attempt to identify it until you succeed, no matter how many times you fail the attempt. If you carry around a gem, for instance, you'll likely be trying to appraise it for quite some time before actually succeeding. This is, needless to say, an INCREDIBLY USEFUL skill to have; given how quickly the game expects you to make decisions, knowing whether you just picked up an Amulet of Live-Saving or an Amulet of Strangulation is very necessary. This means savvy adventurers will usually be taking every single piece of equipment they find, identifying it, and dumping it into the nearest pit; the more items you identify, the higher your Appraisal skill gets. | |

Yet Another Stupid Death: Just like the games it takes influence from, there are many ways to bring your journey to an end; polymorphing into a Vampire as you're starving and there's no blood nearby?

Properly Paranoid: There's a human NPC in Hamlet named "The Conspiracy Theorist," who insists that the Mage's Guild is hiding something, that the Archmagisters were in cahoots with Baron Herx, and that the Hunter's Guild is hiding a dark secret. He's right about all three counts; Herx was indeed collaborating with the Archmagisters, and the founder of the Hunter's Guild, Bram Kindly, has become a Vampire Lord who can be fought as an Optional Boss. | |

Magikarp Power | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6 | comment |
Magikarp Power: Several examples, befitting a roguelike. The Wizard starts off as a Glass Cannon. He has fearsome damage output, but in exchange, he has a small pool of MP and an absolutely pathetic HP pool; the only enemy he can kill in melee is the humble rat, and even then he'll be near-death when it's over. If you survive long enough and learn some spells, however, the Wizard rapidly snowballs into one of the most overpowered characters in the entire game. The Merchant claim to fame is a high appraisal skill. This doesn't sound very useful, but their appraisal starts at 50, meaning they can easily and quickly identify everything they pick up (except gems) in the mines, and they'll quickly snowball to 100 appraisal just by identifying everything they come across. Being able to see what items are useful and what items are not is surprisingly powerful, though they'll become less useful as they go deeper (where every class will start to have high appraisal by necessity). By that point however, their trading skill will have risen high enough such that they can buy out shopkeepers’ entire inventories. The Joker starts with questionable equipment - a slingshot (which does little damage to skeletons), a blindfold, a Confuse spellbook (which costs considerable mana), pies, a food scroll, a luckstone (which reduce inventory weight), among other trinkets. They are the base game class most susceptible to Early Game Hell, but with the ability to levitate (aided by their starting levitation ring) and an equal stat growth potential, they are able to find good equipment in unreachable locations, potentially growing into one of the most favorable classes by midgame. The Vampire's early life in the mines is tougher than any other race; they can only feed on vials of blood, and blood can only be dropped by rats and trolls. Even then, it's not a guarantee, although you can up the odds of it happening by either using Bloodletting, which you start with, or a stealth attack. This makes the early levels of the game exceptionally difficult. However, if you survive into the Jungle, where every enemy can drop blood and you'll have some levels and skills under your belt, the Vampire's natural spellcasting advantages make them exceptionally adaptable, and their ability to cast Levitate from the get-go means they can easily level Casting and Magic to Legendary status before you can blink. The Automaton has a very fast hunger drain to compensate for the fact that they can eat almost anything in the game. This makes their early-game rather tough, forcing you to strike a balance between saving items to identify or scrapping them to eat. If you live long enough to learn the Dig spell and/or find a Tinkering Kit, however, the Automaton will never run out of food, and can freely spam powerful gadgets like Spellbots and Sentrybots. Rocks are edible, and tearing down a wall with Dig will allow you to gobble up the remains to fuel your Boiler, meaning you'll always have a readily available food source at hand. Additionally, unlike the other "renewable" food source of Scrap, Rocks *can* superheat your boiler to full capacity, and have no other use beyond throwing at enemies or triggering traps. Doing so boosts your HT generation rate to one point per 3 seconds, or one point every 1.5 seconds, which is *the maximum possible for organics*. | |

| Barony (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
The Cockatrice's Lair is more of a puzzle level than anything else; there are numerous Kobold Cultists to contend with, but the real challenge is in navigating the confusing layout and figuring out all the levers and doors that need to be opened, since the game enforces No Fair Cheating here by disabling utility magic. No tearing down walls with Dig, no opening gates or chests with Open, no floating over Bottomless Pits with Levitation; you do it the hard way or you don't do it at all. The level ends with a battle against an enhanced Cockatrice. The Dragon's Mail, the Chestpiece of the Artifact Set, can be found in a side room here. | |

Only Smart People May Pass: The Maze of Sokoban. While the rock-pushing puzzle isn't difficult if you pay attention and take your time, it is easy to get one of the last few boulders lodged into a corner or against another one in an unwinnable situation. Clearing the maze of all the grey rocks (without just smashing them with a pickaxe) nets you several gold coin bags and the artifact gauntlet. | |

Our Minotaurs Are Different | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_4ec1330a | comment |
Our Minotaurs Are Different: Baron Herx has a pet minotaur. As early as the first floor, and on random chance, he will set it upon you. You'll get a warning taunt from Herx mentioning either "his pet" or "the beast" and you have between ninety seconds and three minutes to find the exit, gather your party, and GET GONE!! You can't hide from the beast. It will just smash down whatever wall and even walk over bottomless pits to get to you. Exaggerated in the Minotaur Maze, a secret area that can be found in the desert section of the Devil's Cradle. Here, the Minotaur is released once you or any of your allies are a certain distance into the maze, and its find the exit or die. You could also locate two hidden switches in two very far from one another dead-ends to open the central cage containing Gungnir, the legendary spear of Odin. | |

Item-Drop Mechanic: Enemies will wear the same equipment you are able to, though it's commonly cursed, and will drop all their equipped items upon death, just like the player. Non-humanoid enemies like spiders and rats instead drop poison and food, respectively, though at random qualities or freshness. The equipment can be identified and there are scrolls of uncurse to make the items much more useful if say, that skeleton was wielding a cursed steel shield and yours is iron. | |

Token Heroic Orc | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_5ee0a2d8 | comment |
Token Heroic Orc: Zig-zagged. With the right DLC, you can play as a Skeleton, Vampire, Goatman or Goblin who's taken up arms against Baron Herx for their own reasons. Just don't expect the humans in the dungeon to distinguish you from all of your buddies. The heroic part is potentially subverted since there's nothing keeping you from unnecessary conflict with humans. Outright defied for Succubi, Incubi, Vampires and Skeletons. The ending crawl states that the player-character uses the powers they've gained from rampaging through Herx's dungeon to essentially become everything the former aspired to be, taking over much of the known world and instituting The Necrocracy as a mighty lich. The only hope for humanity comes from rumors of a hero rising up to slay them. | |

Killer Rabbit: Rats are a common enemy in the Mines. They're almost harmless to any melee class. However, if you're a squishy adventurer or run into them while you're low on HP, you'll quickly realize that they're fast and small enough to avoid spells and arrows, and like to hunt in packs. One Unique Enemy, Algernon, takes this up to eleven, being an even faster rat who can open doors. Did we mention he has more HP than a Skeleton? | |

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_812ee32b | comment |
Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Played fully straight, as you would expect from the genre. Warriors focus primarily on smashing and slashing their way through the obstacles before them without much gameplay variation, but they're hard to kill. Wizards are about as durable as a paper boat, but they have great damage output, and by later levels of the game, they'll have a spell for just about every situation. This allows them the kind of tactical flexibility Warriors can only dream of. This is however zigzagged in regards to more advanced classes like Monk, Sexton or even Joker, which has growth potential to both become adept at magic and smashing others. | |

Stalked by the Bell | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_832c45c4 | comment |
Stalked by the Bell: The Minotaur hazard, which appears more and more frequently the longer the player takes to clear levels. After a short delay, you'll be chased by a three-block-tall man-bull who can smash down any obstacle, walk over pits, and outrun nearly anything else in the game. He packs more HP than Baron Herx, and knows exactly where you are at all times; upon spawning, he will proceed to bulldoze his way directly to you in a straight line. Unlike most instances of this trope, you can kill the Minotaur, as he lacks many forms of Contractual Boss Immunity; if you're a sufficiently-powerful wizard or a really tanky warrior, you might just be able to slay the beast. You might also get lucky enough to have the Zap Brigade appear and take on the Minotaur themselves. | |

Difficult, but Awesome: Oh so many things. Beating the entire game on Hardcore. All enemies are buffed, have quicker reaction time and engaging the minotaur is a straight up death sentence. The game is still very much beatable though. Bonus points if it was doen with a difficult class/race combo like a Vampire Mechanist, a Skeleton Wizard or a Goblin Mesmer. On the other side of the achievement coin, beating the game under certain time limit (Herx under 20 minutes, non-classic game under 45 minutes). You would most likely be very underpowered, but if you do manage to do it, you'll feel like a boss. | |

Armor of Invincibility: The Artifact Set is the best suit of armor in the whole game.

The downside is that obtaining the full set will require you to complete nearly every single Bonus Level the game has to offer (with 2 pieces unavailable on Classic Mode), as that's the only place you're going to find the gear. | |

The Cleric class is even noted as being, "well-rounded adventurers". They have basic proficiency in several skills and a starting inventory that combines a mace, shield, and summoning spells. Their stats make them lean more towards Mighty Glacier territory, however. The Joker and Shaman are notable for having an exactly equal growth chance for all of their stats. | |

Anti-Hoarding | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_acdc4c5d | comment |
Anti-Hoarding: You have limited inventory space, and every item in it will weigh you down, decreasing your movement speed. Though as you character's carrying capacity is decided by their Constitution stat, most characters will have high enough carrying capacities by the midgame that they won't really need to worry about that part very much. | |

Bubblegloop Swamp | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_b3ef2da6 | comment |
Bubble Gloop Swamp: Levels 5-10 are a thick, marshy, heavily-forested underground jungle. This area is better lit, and you can find both fresh fish and fruit, but the skeletons and rats of the mines give way to more dangerous, better-armed goblin troupes, as well as ghouls and spiders. | |

Timed Mission | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba | comment |
Timed Mission: Some floors will have a Minotaur Warning - a flashing purple bull icon in the bottom left corner, along with Baron Herx helpfully noting that you'd better skedaddle before it gets there. If you don't vacate the level quickly enough, the Minotaur will show up and proceed to ruin your day if it gets its hands on you. This hazard becomes increasingly likely to show up if you take too long completing a regular floor, although the Minotaur Warning won't activate until the next floor you enter. | |

Outside-the-Box Tactic | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_c33c51b2 | comment |
Outside-the-Box Tactic: Encouraged by the game design, in true Roguelike fashion. You could go and find the lever that opens the gates on that bridge over the chasm - or you could just use Levitation to walk over the gap and through the door on the other side. You could find a way around that boulder trap - or you could deliberately trigger it and break it as it rolls towards you with a pickaxe or a Dig spell. Want to visit Minetown as a monster, or do business with a shopkeeper? Use a Polymorph spell and disguise yourself as a human for a short amount of time. | |

Musical Spoiler: Coming close enough to an enemy to be detected will trigger a combat theme to replace the level theme. This can alert players of imminent attack or confuse them completely because enemies can see you through walls and there are areas that generate behind solid walls that must be mined to access, pouring on the paranoia fuel. | |

BonusLevel | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_d2ea3e4a | comment |
Bonus Level: Many of them; some of them hide an Artifact. The Gnomish Mines, a labyrinth full of murderous gnomes with lightning staves, not to mention several trolls. It guards the Veil Of The Sphinx. Minetown. Unlike the other bonus levels, Minetown is fully lit and monster-free; many friendly humans and numerous shopkeepers eke out a living in the depths of the dungeon here. Human adventurers can rest up, recruit companions, and do some shopping. Unfortunately, if you're something that's hostile to humans, you just walked into the wrong neighborhood. The Underworld, a poorly-lit underground crypt with very few floors to speak of and some of the toughest enemies you're likely to see. The only points of interest here are the Artifact Bow, Khryselakatos, and a portal to the Netherworld. The Haunted Castle, a suspiciously-deserted castle full of loot with absolutely no strings attached whatsoever! The Oracle's Treads, boots of the Artifact Set, lie here. They can be taken at will without any risk whatsoever. Pay no heed to the mass of frenzied ghouls that spawn upon looting its treasures. The Jungle Temple, which is just as friendly as it sounds; if the multiple deadly traps don't get you, the goblins will do their best to. If you reach the end, you'll be rewarded with the Green Orb. Sokoban, which is less of a bonus level and more of a puzzle. Solving it successfully - IE, without breaking any walls or boulders - gives you the Djini's Braces, the gauntlets of the Artifact Set. The Minotaur Maze, which is a maze with a Minotaur in it. Hope you're a fast runner. If you can outwit or slay the Minotaur, the maze guards both Gugnir, an Infinity Plus One Spear, and the Red Orb. The Netherworld, which is a Doom-esque journey through a realm of scorched red stone, an iron-gray sky, and more monsters than you can shake a stick at. Unlike the others, this bonus level extends for several floors, culminating in a boss battle against Baron Herx's master. Defeating him will still send you to Hamlet to face the Crystal Caves as always. The Cockatrice's Lair is more of a puzzle level than anything else; there are numerous Kobold Cultists to contend with, but the real challenge is in navigating the confusing layout and figuring out all the levers and doors that need to be opened, since the game enforces No Fair Cheating here by disabling utility magic. No tearing down walls with Dig, no opening gates or chests with Open, no floating over Bottomless Pits with Levitation; you do it the hard way or you don't do it at all. The level ends with a battle against an enhanced Cockatrice. The Dragon's Mail, the Chestpiece of the Artifact Set, can be found in a side room here. Bram's Castle is a linear jaunt through a master vampire's private residence, where you must contend with his skeletal army and his Succubi mistresses before facing the vampire himself, Bram Kindly. Slaying him will reward you with the final piece of the Artifact Set, the Wraith's Gown cloak, granting increased MP generation and permanent levitation. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Despite being a fairly straight-laced Roguelike, and thus very unforgiving, Barony features a few things that alleviate some of the more gamey aspects of its pedigree. Hunger and the Minotaur can be turned off if the player doesn't feel like putting up with them. This removes much of the urgency from the game, allowing the player to be more thoughtful and tactical with their exploration. Monster races will be attacked on sight by any human adventurers or shopkeepers they run into. However, to ensure that monster players aren't locked out of shops entirely, Polymorph will always turn you into a human for a while, allowing you to interact with them without rousing suspicion. Additionally, any humans you recruit while Polymorphed into one will remain friendly after you return to your true form. While the game largely uses RNG to determine what potions do as it generates them, there are some rules that they will always follow; for instance, Potions of Recovery will always be white. Potions are also among the easiest objects to identify, and even a modest skill in Appraisal will let you rapidly figure out what they do, which can be a life-saver when you're about to die and you just found a potion that might heal you or blow you up. Scrolls can only have one possible effect per label. For example, a scroll marked "READ ME" turns out to be a Scroll of Fire; all scrolls marked "READ ME" found for the duration of that playthrough will also be Scrolls of Fire. Magic staves have multiple different effects per color and model, but they are Color-Coded for Your Convenience. Blue staves can be either Ice or Sleep, green staves can be Poison, Digging or Locking/Unlocking, and so on. This allows the player to tell at a glance whether a staff they've found is even worth picking up, as they may well not need it. If a boulder blocks off the player's only route to the level exit, or traps you in a dead-end passage, the game will destroy it for you, displaying a message about Sokoban aiding your path. | |

Swiss-Army Hero: Selecting the Mage class doesn't prevent you from using swords or shields just like selecting the Soldier class doesn't prevent you from reading that spell book of Healing. Though each class does have a different probability to increase each stat, so while you can choose playstyles outside of your class's specialization they probably won't be as good at it. | |

Easy Exp | |
| Barony (Video Game) / int_dc504936 | comment |
Easy Exp: Identifying items using the appraise command nets you a sum of experience depending on the item you identified. Glass shards and gems look identical in the inventory, but gems will net you a respectable boost of exp when identified. This also improves your Appraise skill by 10% of the exp awarded, making subsequent appraisals faster and allowing you to identify higher-tier equipment. If you have prepared enough rations, merely moving around watery terrain in the Swamps and raising your Swimming skill to 100 can net you considerable experience, as well as the additional benefit of Waterwalking. | |

Wizard Needs Food Badly: In true Roguelike fashion, you need to regularly eat or drink in order to survive. Combat will make you hungry faster. You can even find the Ring Of Slow Digestion, a direct transplant from Nethack, which does the same thing as in that game - namely, makes your hunger meter fill at a slower pace. Unlike in Nethack, you can turn this off if it bothers you. | |

The Polymorph spell, which comes in both potion and spellbook formats. Non-humans will always turn into a Human for a set amount of time, allowing them to interact with their "fellow humans" without risk of being spontaneously murdered. The effects are somewhat less reliable for true humans; you may get unlucky and turn into a Vampire right as you're starving to death and there's no source of blood around. | |

Hit Points | |

Hit Points: It wouldn't be a rogue-like rpg without them. More for warriors, less for mages, and just about meaningless against the Minotaur! | |

We Buy Anything | |

We Buy Anything: Reaching Legendary Trading skill allows the player to indulge in this trope. Otherwise, the only merchants who will buy any type of item are General Merchants. All other merchants trade in specific item categories. For instance, Book Sellers will only buy or sell scrolls, books, and quills. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |

Everything Trying to Kill You: Friendly faces are few and far between in the depths of the dungeon. They can essentially be narrowed down to members of your own race and any other races that your race is neutral to. In exchange, just about everything else will be hostile. So you're a Vampire, and other vampires are friendly? Yay! Every human you meet will now be trying to murder you, including the shopkeepers. Boo. | |
