This page is a stub. Should you wish to do so, you can contribute by expanding this page.

A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:

"More information needs to be consolidated and cross-referenced from Prayer and Altar. More detail on offsetting anger with sacrifices needed."

Anger is a measure of how angry your god is with you.

It is a Bad Idea to ask your god for favors when it is angry with you.

Your god can be mollified by sacrificing sufficiently powerful monsters at a coaligned altar.

Effects of anger

  • Luck (both good and bad) times out more quickly if your god is angry.
  • Your god will smite you if you pray while it is angry.
  • Attempts to #turn undead will fail if your god is extremely angry.
  • The manner in which your own god smites you is largely determined by its anger.

Checking your god's anger

Enlightenment by a wand or potion includes a statement of your god's anger, if any.
