When starting NetHack, the game asks for the role you want to play, with the option of letting the game randomly pick one. You can also set the role in your nethackrc file, or specify it on the command line with the -p option.
Each role begins with different starting equipment and different levels of mastery in weapons. Intrinsics that are gained when leveling up (such as a Ranger's intrinsic stealth) and conducts (such as the Monk's vegetarian conducts) also vary with each role. Experienced players often attempt to ascend all thirteen roles. Some roles are considered more difficult to ascend than others. See role difficulty for more details.

Role table by starting attributes and intrinsics
The following contains the mean and standard deviation of the starting attributes; the initial intrinsics; and the intrinsics gained at specific experience levels, for various roles played as humans. The means and standard deviations were found by simulation; the simulation source code can found on the talk page.[1] Note that non-human races may have different mean attributes due to attribute maximums, especially if the maximum for an attribute is less than approximately one or two standard deviations above the human mean.

The following information pertains to an upcoming version (NetHack 3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
These numbers are slightly different because an off-by-one error which slightly biased strength over charisma was fixed in this commit.
Also, some role intrinsics have changed, since commit 075c2832:
- Archeologists now start with searching, get stealth at XL 5, and speed at XL 10.
- Valkyries get stealth at XL 3.

Some other games, such as Dungeons & Dragons use the word "class", and MapleStory and Final Fantasy, for example, use "job", while NetHack always calls them roles.
