Being a ''beginner'' is a condition of a single [[NetHack]] [[character]]. Characters that have never achieved 2000 [[experience points]] (or 1000 if a [[wizard]]) are classified as beginners. Being a beginner only affects some messages given by the game. For example, a non-beginner who quaffs a [[potion of object detection]] when there are no objects on the level will receive, "You feel a lack of something." A beginner who does the same will receive, "You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes."

Note that this is a condition experienced by all players; each character (regardless of a player's history) is initially a beginner.

+Being a '''beginner''' is a condition in ''[[NetHack]]'' that applies to a [[hero]]: any characters that have not yet achieved 2000 [[score]] points (1000 if a [[wizard]]) are classified as beginners by the game. It causes otherwise unique messages given by [[scroll]]s, [[spell]]s, and [[potion]]s to default to "You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes" ("normal feeling" if hallucinating), which hampers their identification.
 The following events are affected by this:
