	The difficulty of playing as a pauper depends a lot on the role, but it is at most only moderately challenging on its own. The main problems one will face are finding gear and training weapon skills, and it is possible to just let the pet do the killing in the mean time.

		+	'''Pauper''' is a roleplay option that starts the game with the hero in an extremely disadvantaged state, which is tracked as a [[conduct]].

		+	==Description==
		+
		+	Beginning a game as a pauper has the following effects:
		+
		+	* You have no starting items. (This means your game will be eligible for nudist conduct if you choose never to wear any armor, even though you may not have specified nudist in your options.)
		+	* You do not know any spells.
		+	* You are Unskilled in all your role's non-restricted skills.
		+	* You do not know the identity of any items, with a few exceptions:
		+	** [[Healer]]s know the [[spellbook of healing]].
		+	** [[Priest]]s, [[Knight]]s and [[Monk]]s know the [[spellbook of protection]].
		+	** [[Wizard]]s know the [[spellbook of force bolt]].
		+	** [[Archeologist]]s know [[touchstone]]s.
		+	** [[Cavemen]] know [[flint stone]]s.
		+	** [[Tourist]]s and [[Rogue]]s know [[sack]]s.
		+	* You may still have a pet, but if you are a [[Knight]], your pony lacks a saddle.
		+	* The conduct summary will display "You are without possessions." If you pick up some items, this will change to "You started without possessions."
		+	* You get a slightly different [[introduction]] text:
		+
		+	You, an untrained %r, have been unable to adequately
		+	prepare to be the instrument of %d. Nevertheless, you
		+	are destined to recover the Amulet for your deity, or die
		+	in the attempt. Your hour of destiny has come. For the
