Effects of anger
- 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.

Ways to anger your god
Many of the following have other effects as well, such as on luck or your alignment record, but for brevity these are not shown here.
| Action | Anger |
|---|---|
| Sacrificing your own race at an altar, and you are not chaotic | +3* |
| Attempting to change alignment through sacrifice a second time | +3* |
| Sacrificing to Moloch | +3* |
| Sacrificing an identified fake Amulet of Yendor | +3 |
| Sacrificing a unicorn of your alignment at an altar of your alignment | +1* |
| Sacrificing a former pet at an altar of your alignment | +1* |
| Praying before your prayer timeout | +1* |
| Praying to make unholy water when it was otherwise safe to pray | +1* |
| Displacing your pet into a trap, killing it. | +1 |
| Praying with negative luck, negative alignment record, or when your god is angry | +0* |
| Praying while in Gehennom | +0** |
* Your god will smite you after increasing anger.
** Moloch may smite you (guaranteed if negative alignment record, more likely with higher alignment record and lower luck).
Ways to mollify your god
| Action | Anger |
|---|---|
| Sacrificing a corpse to your own god | <see below> |
| Sacrificing a unicorn at an altar of its own alignment (not yours) | -1* |
| Sacrificing a former pet at an altar of another alignment | -1* |
* The altar's god will smite you. (Your god is slightly mollified because you upset another god.)
Value of corpses
Your god's anger is reduced based on the value of the corpse sacrificed. Value is the difficulty of the monster, with some adjustments:
- A former pet of yours has a value of -1 (guaranteed to anger the altar's god).
- A unicorn of the altar's alignment has a value of -5 (guaranteed to anger the altar's god).
- A unicorn not of your alignment has +3 value.
- Undead have +1 value if you are not chaotic.
If you are not chaotic, your god's anger is reduced by value/8.
If you are chaotic, your god's anger is reduced by value/12.
