 Death in ''NetHack'' is permanent, unlike in many other games; you only have one life, and you cannot go to an older save file. Doing so artificially—[[savescumming]]—is considered [[cheating]].
 However, there are a couple of in-game methods of cheating death.  If you run out of hit points while [[polymorph]]ed and not wearing an [[amulet of unchanging]], you will return to your normal form, but if you die in any other way while polymorphed, it will be permanent.  An [[amulet of life saving]] will bring you back from almost all deaths at the cost of one point of [[constitution]].  The exceptions are brainlessness from a mind flayer's attack and self-genocide.
 If playing in [[explore mode]] or [[wizard mode]], you can choose whether or not to die.
