	While [[SpliceHack]] aims to keep most monsters, items, and rules identical with their counterparts in Vanilla NetHack, some changes have been made for purposes of balance, quality of life, and fun. This page does not list expansions to the game, such as new levels, monsters, or items. It only lists features which are different than their original incarnations.
