 If Graz'zt appears in a game where [[Dirge]] has not yet been generated, it will appear in his possession. He is always generated with a [[shield of reflection]].

 Graz'zt will lead with a seduction attack that rolls against [[you]]r [[charisma]], [[constitution]], and [[intelligence]]. If you fail the check, Graz'zt may steal some of your possessions or force harmful equipment upon you. The effects of passing the check vary with your character's gender:
-* For women, Graz'zt will instead grant you a potential boon, up to and including monster [[genocide]]s or even [[wish]]es.
+* For women, Graz'zt will grant you a potential boon, up to and including monster [[genocide]]s or even [[wish]]es.
-* For men, however, an additional check is triggered that rolls against your current charisma; the check used is <code>(ACURR(A_CHA) < rn2(35))</code>, and failing this check causes Graz'zt to attack out of jealousy for heavy damage. He will still grant you the boon whether or not you pass the check, provided you survive his jealous attack - the check for it is coded in such a way that there is a significant chance of failure, even with the maximum of 25 charisma.

 Graz'zt will then teleport away after the seduction attempt; similar to [[foocubi]], if he approaches you while the attack is on cooldown, or else the attempt is blocked by chastity, he will then use his normal attack routine consisting of four weapon attacks and a spell per round.

 Graz'zt's theft ability and covetous behavior makes avoiding melee range a priority for most players - [[boulder fort]]s are the most consistent method to avoid being robbed blind, but beware of giants and other monsters carrying {{wand of|striking|polymorph|or=1}} wands! For ranged offense while within the fort, you should use [[missile]] weapons that can consistently hit through his -9 AC; ray-type attacks are useless against his shield of reflection. Weapons such as a tethered [[aklys]] or a stack of [[shuriken]], especially those that can deal [[shock]] and/or [[silver]] damage, are among your better options. If the player can reach [[Skilled]] or higher in [[hammer]], the [[Hammer of the Gods]] is a very effective option.
-Another strategy is to zap a [[cancellation]] at him from within your fort; cancelling him nullifies his theft attack, making engaging him in melee much more feasible. Be mindful about his [[Magic resistance (monster)|magic saving throw]] of 35. A [[wand of cancellation]] in particular has a roughly 50/50 chance to affect Graz'zt; you can check if it has worked from safety by zapping a [[wand of probing]] at him.

 On very rare occasions, Graz'zt's theft may work in a player's favor; for example, he might steal a bag you are carrying and rifle through its contents, leaving him vulnerable to attack for several turns. However, this should not be relied on, especially if he steals your primary container and begins taking out your {{! of|full healing}} potions, wands of cancellation/polymorph, and other dangerous or valuable items.
