-The general purpose of the patch is to increase the variance in equipment that a player may come across in ''NetHack'' and/or its variants, as well as the strategies employed with such items. This can have diverse effects on a given game: one hero may realize too late that their [[gold]] [[wand of death]] is a valid target for an overlooked leprechaun; another may employ a pair of [[mithril]] [[short sword]]s to slice their way through hordes of [[Orc (monster class)|orcs]]; still others may try to assemble an all-silver full-body set of armor to thoroughly "[[demon]]-proof" themselves before entering [[Gehennom]]; and aspiring casters may try to wear as much non-metallic armor as possible.

 ====Material hatred====
-'''Material hatred''' is used to refer to any particular material that deals extra damage to a certain type of monster, much like the standard interactions between [[werecreature]]s and [[silver]] (e.g. [[Elf (monster attribute)|elves]] may have an aversion to [[iron]] weapons).
+'''Material hatred''' is used to refer to any particular material that deals extra damage to a certain type of monster and cannot be safely touched by them, much like the interactions between [[werecreature]]s and [[silver]] in vanilla ''NetHack'' - e.g., [[Elf (monster attribute)|elves]] may have an aversion to [[iron]] weapons. Monsters with a material hatred will usually avoid using items of that material where possible, and [[racial equipment]] is generally expanded and/or altered to avoid generating monsters with weapons or armor of a hated material; [[death drop]]s will naturally ignore this restriction.
