Monsters

There are five special types that a monster can have.

• M for "mean". Mean monsters may attack without provocation.
• F for "flying". Flying monsters are more difficult to hit.
• R for "regeneration". These monsters can regenerate health.
• G for "greedy". Greedy monsters attempt to pick up gold when you enter a room.
• I for "invisible".

Special Monsters

Ice monsters have a freeze rate based on your level, HP, strength, and armor. Each time they freeze you, you have a small chance to instantly die of hypothermia. Ranged weapons are preferred here.

The Aquator does no damage, so remove your armor if you see one.

The Nymph is guaranteed to drop an item. It's often a good potion or scroll. Worth using your ranged weapons there.

The Vampire has a low chance to drain 1HP each time it hits. Not too scary.

Weapons

Weapon	Damage	Notes
Mace	2d4
Long sword	3d4
Short bow	1d1
Arrow	2d3	Takes bonuses from equipped short bow.
Dagger	1d6	1d4 thrown
Two handed sword	4d4
Dart	1d3 thrown
Shuriken	2d4 thrown
Spear	2d3	1d6 thrown

Finding an early Long Sword or Two Handed Sword will make the game much easier.

Wielding a cursed short bow will utterly cripple you. Just stick with your starting bow, don't try on a new one.
