\f0\b\fs56 \cf0 UnBrogue
\b0\fs26 \
\pard\pardeftab720\ql\qnatural

\fs24 \cf0 \
v1.1.1 based on Brogue v1.7\
\
UnBrogue is a Brogue 'variant' in the tradition of Angband variants, developed by Andrew Doull (developer of Unangband).\
\
I can be reached at [email protected].\
\
unBrogue came out of some ideas that I had following my first win of Brogue, as well as a number of suggestions on the Brogue forums in a thread https://brogue.createforumhosting.com/staffs-vs-everything-else-t393.html (including the Staff of Zombies suggested by pente in the post https://brogue.createforumhosting.com/flaming-zombie-staff-t367.html and the staff of flooding suggested by Patashu). It is intended to be an experimental set of changes to Brogue, and does not contain anything that I expect to main line into the main Brogue release, although I've tried to emulate the flavor and style of the game.\
\
Many thanks to Joshua Day for testing the pre-release and compiling Windows and Linux versions of the initial 1.0.1 release, and to Marco Salamone and Harrison Kreimer testing the pre-release versions of the 1.1 release.\

Changes for 1.1\
\pard\tx566\tx1133\tx1700\tx2267\tx2834\tx3401\tx3968\tx4535\tx5102\tx5669\tx6236\tx6803\pardeftab720\ql\qnatural\pardirnatural

\b0 \cf0 - Code base updated to Brogue 1.7.\
- Some changes have been added from 1.7.1: Bloodworts, lunging with rapiers, weapons of Force, reflection is now negatable, improvement to low level charms of protection, moving around obstacles diagonally.\
- The majority of Brogue 1.7.1 change will be included in the next major UnBrogue release; the diff between 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 is approximately twice that of 1.6.3 to 1.7.0, and a number of systems changed significantly (dungeon generation, monster AI) in ways that will require more time to port across.\
- Unlike 1.7.1, statues cannot be moved around diagonally.\
- Added sabres which attack all adjacent targets in regular combat and when lunging.\
- Blinking with a rapier, sabre will perform a lunge while blinking if there is a monster in the path of the blink.\
- Moving with a spear or pike extends the weapon into the next grid in the direction you are moving if it is unoccupied. Any monster entering this grid will be automatically hit for x3 times damage.\
- Maces, hammers damage is halved but they knock back enemies they hit 2 grids, doing triple damage if the enemy is knocked into an obstruction.\
\pard\pardeftab720\ql\qnatural
\cf0 - Talisman of madness bonus now only affects weapons and armour. (One does not simply walk into DL100).\
- Spiders summoned by a talisman of spiders appear at the stairs on the current level and begin levelled up twice for each enchantment on the talisman; this does not allow them to learn new abilities.\
- Fix potion of winds typo.\
- Scrolls of duplication correctly duplicate keys.\
- Scrolls, charms of shattering have a chance of shattering reflective monsters, based on proximity and shattering radius.\
\pard\tx566\tx1133\tx1700\tx2267\tx2834\tx3401\tx3968\tx4535\tx5102\tx5669\tx6236\tx6803\pardeftab720\ql\qnatural\pardirnatural
\cf0 - Fix protection so that it really only lasts 20 turns.\
- Golems are not tortured.\
- Dragons attack all adjacent targets; horror attacks penetrate like a Brogue spear/pike.\
- Armour AC is increased by 1 for all armors except leather, plate. Plate strength requirement increased by one.\
- Imps, nagas, salamanders get flee near death flag.\
- Nagas and salamanders rapidly heal when submerged (2 hp per turn).\
- Nagas and salamanders hate each other and will always attack each other on sight, even if allied.\
- Added 'h'arpies, 'l'amias and [spoiler]. Feedback on how unfair these monsters are is welcome.\
- You take half damage falling into shallow water, bogs or dense foliage, or if the air below is filled with strong winds.\
- Slays/immunities now apply to a group of similar monsters (dar slaying, jelly slaying) rather than individual monsters in some instances.\
- Firebolt is piercing: left over damage is applied to the next monster in line of fire if the first is killed.\
- Aggravate Monster temporarily aggravates all monsters in LOS: aggravated monsters attack instead of fleeing, flitting or keeping their distance.\
- Throwing potions of fire immunity creates a fire extinguishing gas. Throwing potions of life creates a healing gas.\
- Centaur and arrow turret attacks unaffected by negation. Dart and acid turrets are stripped of their special effects but can still attack from a distance if negated. Ogres do not lose their shields if negated.\
- Captive and dominated monsters generated out of depth don't begin gaining experience until they reach their minimum depth.\
- Removed rings of Accuracy, Wizardry and Alchemy.\
- Added Transference as a ring again. Removed Transference runic.\
- Excess hit points stolen with transference adds to protection.\
- Thrown weapons are not destroyed when they hit a target, unless it is a dart or javelin with a special ability such as incendiary darts. To compensate they all appear in smaller stacks and you begin the game with only 3 darts. (Inspired by morphles' patch).\
- Thrown spears and pikes penetrate through to a second target in the next grid along the aimed path; thrown axes, sabres hit all targets adjacent to the grid before the first target they would hit.\
- Wand and staff types are combined, with each type randomly being a wand or staff from game to game, but a minimum of two wands and three staffs, one of which will be a direct damage staff (lightning, fire, poison, force). \
- Wands/staffs of Force and Nature added. Force pushes monster backwards 1 grid per enchantment and damages them if they hit an obstruction: triple damage if the target is knocked into a wall. Nature stops and grows a plant if the bolt crosses consecutive three fertile grids of the same type - either observe what plants grow on what terrain in the dungeon, or experiment to see what you can grow - and nature wands grow wooden bridges over chasms.\
- Added more monsters summoned by wands/staffs of summoning. Staffs of phantoms removed as invisible hard hitting enemies on level 1 was not fun.\
- Added more talismans. Check 'D'iscoveries for names.\
- Talismans now all significantly change how part of the game works so that the least interesting ones are those which require that you be hallucinating, poisoned or on fire.
\b \
\pard\pardeftab720\ql\qnatural

\b0 \cf0 - Added some new reward rooms for further mid and end game variety.\

- Lightning which hits a target standing in water causes the lightning bolt to ground: creating up to 6 sparks which randomly travel from the target to nearby conductive grids with the bolt damage divided between them. A conductive grid either contains water, metallic terrain such as iron manacles and chains or a monster (or the player) which is not flying or levitating, and sparks will travel through up to two non-conductive grids to get to a conductive grid.\

- If you left a level after [spoiler] and returned, visible [spoiler] were not updating correctly.\

- Fixed build in wall features within machines which require line of sight to origin so they can't be generated on the 'near' or convex walls without FOV going through interior of machine.\
- Weapons of slaying will always hit the monsters they are vorpal towards and [spoiler] have a 100% chance to [spoiler]. (Requested by tinyrodent).\
- [spoiler] does not make [spoiler] discordant. (Inspired by Autoquark and a bug in an earlier build).\

- Eels and krakens no longer [spoiler] until [spoiler]. (Reported by Unknown).\
\

\b Spoiler free changes from Brogue\
\
\pard\pardeftab720\ql\qnatural

\b0 \cf0 - Equipped armor now impacts your stealth, with no armor equivalent to a ring of Stealth +3, leather acts like a ring of Stealth +2 and so on, until Plate Armor is almost as bad as a cursed ring of Stealth -1 (which internally has a Stealth penalty of -4).\
\
- Lighter weapons increase the multiplier to stealth attacks as they are enchanted. This typically does not exceed the actual damage output of the x3 multiplier of the heaviest weapons in the same class, although swords are more effective than Warhammers at very high enchantments.\
\
- Made transference a weapon rune instead of a ring, and increased transference percentages for all weapons except axes.\
\
- Lightning has to strike two targets, or it will reflect off walls, counting each reflection as one strike. If it does not hit any targets with the first two rebounds, it will bounce back towards the caster.\

- Added staffs of Reflection, Sentries and Summoning, the latter two of which summon discordant monsters of a fixed type.\
\
- Added potions of Winds and Water.
\b \

\b0 \

\
- Changed Ogres to make them more useful allies and more interesting to fight. Check the description once you find one to see the changes.\
\
- Adopted Ighalli's weapon accuracy buff to make enchanting weapons more useful. See https://brogue.createforumhosting.com/weapon-enchants-vs-armor-enchants-t451.html for the analysis. Also adopted experience tweak suggested in another thread.\

About
\b0 \
\
Brogue is a Roguelike game for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux by Brian Walker.\
\
The latest version can be downloaded at https://sites.google.com/site/broguegame/ .\
\
I can be reached at [email protected] -- feel free to send me any thoughts or bug reports.\
\
Many thanks to Joshua Day for maintaining and compiling the Linux and Windows builds, and to Joshua Day, Frank Brown and Kevin Walker for brainstorming, coding assistance and testing.\
\
\

\b How to Play
\b0 \
\
You are the @ symbol. Move around the dungeon with the mouse, the vi-keys (hjklyubn) or keypad keys. The arrow keys will also work, but they do not allow diagonal movement. Other commands are as listed in the help screen, which you can access by typing a question mark.\
\
Your goal is to travel to the 26th subterranean floor of the dungeon, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor and return with it to the surface. For the truly skillful who desire further challenge, depths below 26 contain three lumenstones each -- items which confer no benefit except an increased score upon victory.\
\
\

\b Tips
\b0 \
\
Scrolls of Enchantment are unique to Brogue and are indispensable to the success of any character. Using one will permanently make a single item more powerful. Enchanting a weapon provides a boost to both its damage and accuracy and also lowers its strength requirement. Enchanting a suit of armor increases its effectiveness and also lowers its strength requirement. Enchanting a ring increases the power of its magical effect. Enchanting a staff increases both its effect and its maximum number of charges. Enchanting a wand gives it one additional disposable charge.\
\
If you encounter a monster that you haven't seen before, examine the monster with the mouse or by pressing tab. If you find an item you don't recognize, select it from your inventory to inspect it.\
\'a0\
Unlike wands, staves are permanent magical items. They have a maximum number of charges and will recharge from zero to maximum over a set period of time -- which means that increasing the maximum number of charges also increases the speed with which a single charge regenerates. Staffs of Blinking and Obstruction recharge half as quickly as other staves. If you use a Scroll of Identify to identify a staff, its current and maximum charges will be permanently revealed. This is particularly useful for the Staff of Blinking, since its maximum distance will be illustrated while aiming the staff. If you zap with a staff when it has no charges, nothing will happen and you will lose that turn, but the maximum number of charges will be permanently revealed.\
\
Rings impart a magical effect on their wearer as long as they are worn. They impose no cost to nutrition or otherwise, but only two may be worn at the same time.\
\
Certain weapons, suits of armor and rings are cursed; they will start with negative enchantments and cannot be removed while the curse remains. Reading a scroll of remove curse will lift curses from all of the items in your inventory at once. Enchanting an item or protecting a suit of armor or a weapon will also remove a curse from that item. Cursed rings can be especially deadly to a character without means of removing the curse.\
\
When you first equip a weapon or suit of armor, you will not know if it already has magical enchantments. If you use the item for long enough, its enchantments will be revealed.\
\
Armor and weapons that are found in the dungeon with positive or negative enchantments might also have rare and powerful runic abilities. These will not be apparent at first. Some of them will be revealed when they activate. The rest will be flagged as "unknown runic" when you've used them for long enough. In any case, a Scroll of Identify will instantly reveal the item's runic enhancement, if it has one.\
\
Weapons and armor have strength requirements, which are specified as "<X>" after the item name. You can equip an item even if you don't exceed the strength requirement, but your combat accuracy or defense will suffer proportionally. The damage and degree of protection conferred by weapons and armor correlate roughly to their strength requirements. The only way to raise your strength is by drinking potions of Gain Strength.\
\
Some weapons have different attack patterns. Spears and war pikes hit an adjacent enemy and the one behind it. Axes and war axes hit all adjacent enemies. Maces and war hammers hit twice as hard but require an extra turn afterward to recover.\
\'a0\
Weapons and armor may be protected from corrosion with a Scroll of Protect Weapon or Armor. Unless protected, striking an acid mound will weaken a weapon, and being struck by an acid mound or a projectile from an acid turret will weaken a suit of armor. Protection status is indicated with a curly brace ('\}') following the inventory letter instead of a closing parenthesis, and is described in the item description screen.\
\
The monsters of the dungeon do not reserve all of their aggression for you: from time to time, they are known to capture and torture other monsters. Once freed, these captives will follow you and fight by your side through thick and thin. Staves of Healing, Haste and Protection can be put to good use on your allies.\
\
Potions of incineration can spell the untimely end of an unprepared character. Low-level characters are advised to try unidentified potions near a body of water to extinguish any resulting flames -- but be careful, because if the burning liquid touches deep water, the cavern may quickly fill with scalding steam.\
\'a0\
When aiming a projectile or magical bolt, it is often possible to hit targets that at first seem out of reach. Try adjusting the targeting reticule to a position behind them.\
\
Physically attacking a monster that has not noticed the player -- that is asleep or wandering, or that is paralyzed -- makes for a very powerful attack: the attack will never miss, and it will deal three times as much damage. Monsters are less likely to notice players at a distance and when the player is resting, outside of the range of any nearby light sources or wearing a ring of stealth. One effective tactic is to lurk just behind a door that you know a monster is approaching and ambush it when it opens the door.\
\
Mud-filled bogs will gradually accumulate a layer of swamp gas. Beware: the gas is highly explosive when exposed to an open flame, and an immunity to fire will not protect you from its percussive blast. Any creature, no matter how powerful, will lose at least half of its maximum health from a single explosion.\
\'a0\
It is generally optimal to eat a ration of food as soon as your character becomes hungry. No nutrition will be wasted with this approach. Eating an item of food is the only way to recover nutrition, and there is no way around the requirement. Do not spend too much time in familiar territory or you may find yourself without sufficient food to survive.\
\'a0\
The only purpose of gold is to establish a character's score upon death or victory.\
\
Deeper levels contain pit traps, fire traps, gas traps and flood traps. If you know where they are, you can trigger them from a distance by tossing an item onto their pressure plate.\
\
Levels can generally be explored fully without venturing into or over lava, chasms, traps or deep water. If no path presents itself, search along likely walls with the search command.\
\'a0\
Scrolls are flammable and will be lost to brushfires.\
\'a0\
Do not be discouraged by the difficulty of the game. Very few characters will survive the Dungeons of Doom, but your odds will improve enormously once you're acquainted with the dungeon's treasures and inhabitants.\

\b0 \cf0 {\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Removed experience from the game to reward exploration instead of combat, in part to avoid discouraging character builds that survive by avoiding or incapacitating monsters instead of killing them.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Potions of healing are now potions of life, and in addition to healing you, they permanently increase your maximum health. Their frequency is now tightly controlled, like scrolls of enchanting and potions of strength.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New item category: charms. Each can be activated periodically for a non-targeted effect. The duration over which the charms recharge as well as the intensity/duration of the effect increases with enchantment.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New quest room features and types which are intended to make the quest room system feel more organic and less systematic, some of which were inspired by Andrew Doull\'92s UnBrogue.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New potion, the potion of invisibility.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New weapon type, the rapier, which attacks twice as quickly as ordinary weapons.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New armor runic, armor of dampening, which renders you immune to explosions (though not to flame).\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Reduced the frequency of treasure rooms to its former, pre-1.6.4 rate to reduce player decision fatigue.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Increased the accuracy progression of weapon enchantment (to a compounding 6.5% increase per point of enchantment instead of a constant +5 per enchantment) to remain competitive with armor enchantment, based on a quantitative analysis by Alex Mooney.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The items that monsters drop are all pre-determined at the start of the game, to prevent different players playing the same seed from finding different items. Monsters will also no longer drop food.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Depths from 30-33 have only two lumenstones each, and depths after that have only one lumenstone each.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The window on Mac OS X will resize smoothly, and can be run in full screen mode on Mac OS 10.7-10.8.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that prevented hidden pit traps from being permanently discovered when you fell through them.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that could cause allies and occasionally players and items to fall through the ground when activating extending bridges.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that could occasionally cause a custom dungeon seed to generate a different pool of items and monsters based on the player\'92s actions on the prior depth.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that caused weakness status to erase allies\'92 level-up benefits.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that caused polymorphed monsters to regenerate health quickly (unless they were of a type that didn\'92t regenerate at all).\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that could prevent phoenix eggs from hatching.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that could cause out-of-sync errors when attempting to throw an equipped weapon, confirming at the confirmation box and then canceling during targeting.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed an issue that could cause foliage and rings to appear as colorful emoticons under Mac OS 10.8 because of Apple\'92s new font selection routines. Many thanks to Joe Wreschnig and Dennis Gentry for their assistance in solving this issue.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Damage statistics in the monster info panel are expressed in terms of the monster\'92s current health rather than its maximum health.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}If a weapon stack is divided into two or more stacks, and some of them are degraded by acid, enchanted or rust-protected, they will no longer stack with the weapons that were not degraded/enchanted/protected.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Monsters\'92 damage ranges are generally tightened, so that they will deal the same average damage with less variance.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Weapons of slaying will never miss their intended target, and will not be generated for bloats of any kind.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Enchanting a wand will add to it the minimum number of charges that a wand of that type can initially have.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Inanimate creatures cannot be weakened.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Goblin conjurer allies will no longer count blades from the prior or next depth toward their summoning quota.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Allies on the previous level and next level (in addition to allies on the same level) will gain experience from the player\'92s exploration, and exploration points will accrue for locations discovered via telepathy.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Reduced the frequency of monkeys in the interest of being less annoying.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Burning monsters will not ignite terrain while they are submerged.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Rewind with left-arrow no longer hangs replays when used more than 100 turns into playback.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Allies will no longer cast negation on entranced teammates, nor cast offensive spells of any kind at reflective opponents, nor try to engage bloats in melee.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Weapons of slaying will not miss their intended targets.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Disabling color effects with the backslash key will result in even blander graphics than before.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Jellies will not split if there are already 100 of their clones within one depth, so that the elusive jellymaster build will not cause crashes.\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug with playback controls when watching a recording.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a broken message when an ally absorbs centipedes\'92 weakness ability.\

\ls3\ilvl0\cf0 {\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}When examining items, unequipped weapons will tell you the percent by which equipping the weapon would affect your accuracy and damage, given what you know about the item. Similarly, examining unequipped armor will tell you what your expected armor value would be if you equipped it.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}You get a free search every turn, as though you are always wearing a +1.5 ring of searching. In addition, secrets embedded in walls (secret doors, hidden levers) are 33% harder to detect.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Paralysis trap pressure plates are now physically separate from the locations that emit the paralytic gas, which means there are more hidden tiles that can be discovered to reveal the existence of a paralysis trap, and paralysis gas will generally take a turn or two to reach the player after stepping on the plate.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Several new quest rooms and improvements to existing quest rooms.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Stairs are generated in torchlit nooks in the walls of the dungeon.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Out of depth monsters generated in shallower depths are drawn from a narrower band of depths, making depths 2-5 easier, and some monster hordes (bog monsters and groups of vampire bats) are specifically prevented from spawning out of depth.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Portcullises that block poison gas trap rooms cannot be obstructed with items or creatures. Instead, a hidden lever will be generated inside of the room when the trap is activated that will lift the portcullis.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that constrained possible quest room generation to certain depths.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Quietus and paralysis runics trigger slightly less often, and slowness runics trigger slightly more often.  Slowness also lasts longer.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Hidden dungeon features (secret doors, traps, etc.) are revealed in omniscience mode during recording playback.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New cursed runic: armor of immolation.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New monster: dart turret.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Invisibility granted by a wand is now timed. The player can become invisible with a reflected bolt from a wand of invisibility, which is treated as being extremely stealthy.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Allies will now announce when they are ready to absorb a new ability.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Allies will more reliably resume being friendly after being affected by magical fear.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Allies can now absorb centipedes\'92 ability to cause weakness.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Creatures that can cast or breathe fire are now more careful with flammable terrain.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Pathfinding over harmful terrain while under the effect of a temporary status that provides immunity to that terrain -- for example, pathfinding over lava while temporarily immune to fire -- is handled much more intelligently.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Tweaked the rate at which allies\'92 combat abilities improve over time.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Dar blademasters have less defense; eels have more.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Transference benefits allies less.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Weakness lasts 50% longer.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Explosion tiles will disappear instead of promoting into gas fire.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that could occasionally cause allies to attack you while they were attempting to escape from harmful terrain such as poisonous gas.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that sometimes caused fleeing monkeys to leap into lava if the player was fire-immune, or into chasms if the player was levitating.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that sometimes caused nausea to cause recordings to go out of sync.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that occasionally generated bridges that lead into deep water.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed a bug that could render gold invisible and unobtainable, though it would still appear on the sidebar.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed an exploit that could allow summoner allies to summon an unlimited number of minions.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Axes and spears will no longer hit creatures embedded in obstruction crystals.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Monster cages will obstruct gas, so caged monsters won\'92t get steamed to death before you reach them.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Killing a shielded monster with a weapon of quietus generates the correct amount of blood.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Items will no longer float away from you if you are entangled in a spiderweb over deep water.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Messages that refer to monsters that cannot be seen (referred to as \'93something\'94) will be appropriately gender-neutral.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Unicorns have a more apt appearance.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Phylacteries will be destroyed by negation magic.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The help screen is more streamlined.\

\ls4\ilvl0\cf0 {\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New games can be started with a custom seed by control-clicking \'93New Game\'94 on the title screen.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Several new monster types that appear exclusively as allies, and a new quest room in which they appear.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New weakness status effect that can be inflicted temporarily by centipedes.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Equipped items are listed at the top of the inventory and separated from the remainder of the items by a one-line divider.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The names of unknown item types are displayed with purple coloration.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}A few more pieces of information are included in item description screens.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Visible items on the floor are listed in the sidebar below monsters.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The variance of gold generated as a function of depth has been tightened substantially between games so that score better reflects depth (assuming that one finds all of the gold).\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}10% of monsters are generated out-of-depth, from 1-5 levels deeper.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Explore and travel functions seek out weapons that you\'92ve thrown at enemies and items that have been stolen from you, and will otherwise avoid, when convenient, items that you\'92ve discarded or thrown.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Targeting will default to the last confirmed target when it remains a valid and appropriate target.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Throwing an item will auto-target a monster only if the item is a weapon or potion.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Calling an item a blank string (instead of pressing escape) will remove any existing inscription and revert to, e.g., \'93a pink potion.\'94\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The \'93Direction?\'94 prompt displays the item name and action in the row above the prompt.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New purely cosmetic \'93true color\'94 mode that optionally disables lighting colors, toggled during play with the backslash key.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Coloration of locked doors is more distinctive, and water is a deeper blue.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fleeing monkeys stop fleeing if they drop your item to water currents.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Allies will no longer cast negation at reflective opponents.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Allies can again absorb invisibility from defeated enemies.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Rings of regeneration have been nerfed at high enchantment levels, so that they will never permit full regeneration in less than two to three turns.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Hallucination potions that have been affected by detect magic will auto-identify when thrown.\

\ls6\ilvl0\cf0 {\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The \'93quest room\'94 system has been expanded and enhanced to add further variety and interactivity to the dungeon. Some quest rooms can be generated in open areas, and the same system is used to create flavor terrain according to themes for particular areas.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The game is entirely playable by mouse control. A row of buttons has been added to the bottom of the screen to allow mouse access to all game commands. All commands remain accessible from the keyboard as before.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Buttons appear within item description windows to permit mouse-driven item actions (equip, unequip, apply, drop, throw, call).\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Ascend and descend are no longer standalone commands (though the \'91>\'92 and \'91<\'92 keys will route the player to the stairs as before); instead, ascent and descent occurs automatically when the player steps onto the stairs.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The sidebar supports mouse interaction.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The \'93MORE\'94 prompt is much less common, eliminating instances of \'93message-lock\'94 when playing message-intensive builds (e.g. conjurers, jelly masters)\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Multitudes of other interface improvements.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Pathfinding with travel and explore commands tries to route through spaces that are known to be free of traps, and attempts to avoid annoying terrain like spiderwebs.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Several new monsters, including pit bloats, goblin mystics, acidic jellies, underworms and sentinels.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New item: the Staff of Protection.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Potions of telepathy now reveal the terrain in the vicinity of distant monsters.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Allies\'92 monster description screen reveals when the ally is ready to learn a new trick.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Creatures recover from paralysis when they take damage, but any melee attacks against a paralyzed creature (including the player) are treated as attacks of opportunity, which always hit and deal treble damage. Paralysis potions contain half as much gas, but the paralysis status lasts twice as long.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Eels and other media-bound monsters are more aggressive.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Teleportation now tries to move the teleporting creature to a position that is outside of the field of view from the starting position.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}When jellies split, they will not spawn on the far side of walls.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}A confirmation prompt ensures that players won\'92t inadvertently degrade their weapons by attacking acid mounds and similar creatures.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The dungeon is larger by one row.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Runic weapons are somewhat less common, particularly among high-damage weapon types.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Poison from staffs of poison will stack with the target\'92s existing poison.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The sidebar will reveal when a poisoned creature has absorbed a fatal dose.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Reflection armor will auto-identify when the player reflects a bolt.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Monkeys are willing to steal cursed items, as the previous behavior coerced the player to engage in boring item identification rituals.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Incendiary darts will now ignite wall-mounted turrets when thrown directly at them.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The high scores screen accommodates five more entries.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Added a quit command to abort the game in progress and return to the high scores screen.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Pressing tilde during play will reveal the current turn number in addition to the dungeon seed.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Windows and Linux versions have full-screen mode (press F12 or alt-enter for full-screen).\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Tweaked experience point cut-offs at higher levels, with the goal of effectively capping growth at player level 12.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Rewinding is now supported during playback in a limited fashion (via skipping to a turn that precedes the current turn).\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}New confirmation prompt when eating food when you\'92re not hungry enough to get the full benefit.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed an issue with a quest room that would cause steam vents to appear instead of mud patches.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Polymorphed monsters will now have the greater of the previous monster\'92s health fraction or max HP less damage taken, and will be stunned for one turn afterward.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Entrancing your allies will not turn them against you.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Monsters now have genders that are properly reflected in pronouns that describe them.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Changed the message "you hit the monster from the shadows" to the more accurate "you hit the monster, catching [him/her/it] unaware."\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Allies caught in the effect of a scroll of cause fear will flee like ordinary monsters, but will resume being your ally once the effect wears off if you haven\'92t attacked them in the interim.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Firebolts cast by monsters do more damage on impact.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Status bars indicating poison will use the creature's maximum health for its scale, so that a poison bar wider than the creature's health bar indicates that the creature has received a fatal dose.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Scrolls of shattering no longer create a barrier around the perimeter of the area of effect.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Thrown items (including non-spell projectiles from monsters) cannot be reflected, though they are still subject to ordinary combat rules with respect to accuracy and defense.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Centaurs take only one turn to shoot an arrow.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Turrets will no longer spawn on inaccessible walls, e.g. walls trapped behind a statue or crystal formation.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Fixed an issue that would allow hasted players with the right key to sometimes pass through iron doors without unlocking them.\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Starvation is now gradual. When your nutrition level reaches zero and you have no food, your health will decrease by 1 every turn and will not regenerate.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Pink jellies have slightly less health.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}For balance reasons, allies will cast healing magic less frequently and less effectively, will absorb enemy abilities half as frequently, and will improve their other stats about 40% slower.\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}The player\'92s throwing range has been shortened.\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}All new weapons: spears/pikes, which hit an adjacent enemy and the enemy behind it; axes, which hit all adjacent enemies; and maces/hammers, which hit twice as hard and require an extra turn to recover afterward.\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Merged Potions of Healing and Extra Healing; eliminated Scrolls of Sanctuary.\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Rings now auto-identify after being worn for a while, similarly to armor and weapons.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Subtle change in ally color to distinguish allies from enemies.\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Reflection is now an armor runic instead of a ring.\
{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}Cancellation is now called negation; certain monsters are marked as animated by magic and will die if negated. New Scrolls of Negation will negate all creatures and items within your field of view (but will not affect items in your inventory). Negated weapons, armor and rings will lose their magical properties, and negated wands and staffs will lose their charges.\

{\listtext	\uc0\u8259 	}You can now see allies that are invisible (and wands of invisibility will auto-identify if you use them on an ally).\
