 * Attempting to move into shopkeepers, vault guards, or town guards never attacks them but instead invokes the "chat" function.
 * Attempting to move into peaceful monsters brings up a warning instead of attacking them.
 * There is an "explore" command (bound to the keystroke "v") which can be used repeatedly to completely cover all unknown territory in the current level.
 * You can write scrolls or spellbooks without failure only if their type is formally identified. Otherwise there is a chance of failure, based on your luck and wisdom.
