-Many of the Infidel's quirks are due to them being unaligned followers of [[Moloch]], and in the context of the Infidel being unaligned can be succinctly described as "[[chaotic]] evil"&mdash;as such, a worn [[helm of opposite alignment]] will always make an Infidel lawful, and permanent conversion is not possible.

Performing a sacrifice can delay this effect by 500 turns per point of sacrifice value: this is non-cumulative, and only the higher delay value between the current delay and the delay from the Infidel's sacrifice is kept&mdash;any sacrifice to Moloch is acceptable for this purpose regardless of the [[altar]], as long as the sacrifice would not convert the Infidel to another alignment (since none of the other gods will accept an Infidel's allegience).
+Moloch expects regular [[sacrifice]]s from his servants: after the 6,000th game turn without a sacrifice, the [[alignment record]] of an Infidel is drained at an increasing rate, with a chance of incrementing Moloch's anger if their alignment record becomes negative&mdash;an Infidel play will be given messages when approaching this threshold, and can view this status in the [[base attributes]] window.

 An Infidel sacrificing to Moloch on an aligned altar without their [[quest artifact]] has a {{frac|4|5}} chance of failing to convert the altar, but performing [[same-race sacrifice]] on a lawful or neutral altar will always convert it to an unaligned altar, while doing so with a chaotic altar will destroy it. Successful sacrifices from an Infidel on an altar to Moloch will reduce [[prayer]] timeout further than a chaotic hero's sacrifice to their god, and sacrifices of former pets are allowed, but a sacrifice with a value of 16 is required for an Infidel to mollify Moloch if he is [[angry]].
-Infidels that pray to Moloch and are not in [[Gehennom/EvilHack|Gehennom]], are not standing on an unaligned altar, or not in possession of their quest artifact have a {{frac|4|5}} chance of that prayer going unheard as a result of being on the surface&mdash;this "failure" does not increment prayer timeout, but also does not grant [[invulnerability]] as a successful prayer does. Prayer to Moloch in Gehennom will always be heard.

 Moloch's [[Prayer#Favors and gifts|prayer boons]] for Infidels are different from those other gods:
-* Moloch can curse a wielded weapon instead of blessing it, while repairing the weapon and unrestricting its skill if necessary as normal.

-[[Chaotic]] monsters have half the chance of generating as peaceful towards an Infidel that they do generating as peaceful to a chaotic hero, and [[major demon]]s have a chance to generate as peaceful toward an Infidel&mdash;carrying the [[Amulet of Yendor]] has no effect on monster hostility. Peaceful chaotic monsters are not considered truly [[co-aligned]], so Infidels don't get penalties for killing them.

-Infidels are discouraged from using [[Elbereth]] even if they learn it: scaring monsters with an [[engraved]] "Elbereth" incurs a -5 penalty to alignment record, but attacking while standing on the engraving does not (though the engraving will still disappear).

 Infidels that step into a cross-aligned [[temple]] will cause the temple's [[aligned priest]] to become hostile: this also angers the [[Watch]] if it occurs in [[Minetown]] (with the obvious exception of Orcish Town).
 Infidels take 4d6 damage from [[quaffing]] or being hit by [[holy water]] (compared to 2d6 for chaotic heroes), and restore 4d6 HP when quaffing unholy water.
 ===Crowning===
 [[Crowning]] for an Infidel is also much different from the heroes of other gods.
-As draugr cannot become truly fire-resistant, a draugr Infidel that is crowned by Moloch gains permanent [[see invisible]] and [[shock resistance]], and their crowning gift is the cursed and [[rustproof]] +1 [[Angelslayer]]: if a draugr is already wielding the [[artifact]] when they are crowned by Moloch, the artifact will be identified for them.<!--check if it is cursed, repaired, rustproofed, and have its [[enchantment]] raised to +1 if it was lower-->

-The crowning gift for a non-draugr Infidel is a [[spellbook of fireball]], the Infidel's special spell: an Infidel that knows the fireball spell upon being crowned by Moloch and is wielding a weapon will also have that weapon given the [[Fire (element)|fire]] [[object property]], additionally unrestricting the weapon's skill if necessary. The Infidel will also gain the trident skill if it was previously restricted (though all Infidels start with the skill unrestricted in practice), and has its cap set to Expert.

 In addition, an Infidel that is ''not'' a draugr and is crowned by Moloch will be transformed into a full-fledged [[major demon]], gaining wings and a barbed tail&mdash;this will overwrite almost all of their former race's traits and grant them the following properties:

 * They can use their barbed tail to perform an auxiliary [[sting attack]] that can [[poison]] monsters, and like most extra attacks it is suppressed when attacking a monster with a [[stoning]] or [[disintegration]] [[passive]].

-Demons also have very good maximum attributes as well, and inherit the intelligence and wisdom attribute caps of their previous forms: an orcish Infidel that become a demon will retain their maximums of 16, while a human Infidel-turned-demon retains maximums of 18, and so on. Demons also have the highest [[HP]] and [[energy]] growth of any other race, and an Infidel that has attained demonhood will often want to [[polymorph]] into their own race or otherwise re-roll their experience level bonuses after crowning. Unlike normal polyself into a demon, a crowned Infidel cannot gate demons via bare-handed combat.
