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 be displeased if you pray while it is angry.
  • Attempts to #turn undead will fail if your god is extremely angry.
  • If you displease your god, the effect is determined largely by how angry your god is.

Checking your god's anger

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

Message Anger
"<God's name> is extremely angry with you" 7+
"<God's name> is very angry with you" 4-6
"<God's name> is angry with you" 1-3
