phoenix?

==monster changes==
*all cockatrice petrification is delayed (also against monsters)
*piercers require much more AC to be dodged and damage scales with their level
*zombies revive, have a Constitution-draining bite, cause wounded legs and ignore Elbereth
*dragons similar to SLASH'EM and FIQhack:
** baby dragons have an elemental bite and regenerate
** adult dragons have speed 20 and get special abilities
* demon princes/lords and quest nemeses only warp to you once and not away (but Cthulhu resurrects)
*Medusa has a stoning bite and better AC

* [[flankin]]g (Splice): AC penalty when sandwiched, depending on flanker's level
*[[berserk]]ing (Evil): monsters regain some HP, ignore scaring and deal double damage when below half health
*rabid monsters: living mammals can spawn infected, 1 in 10 of bats and coyotes (no insects/birds/lizards). They gain a Con-draining bite that can infect you and will never flee. If you contract rabies, you cannot regenerate, become bloodthirsty like Stormbringer, move confusedly every 1 in 10 moves, and die after 100+d(2*Con) turns. It can be cured like illness, but not with unicorn horns.
* monsters can contract and cure terminal illness (Evil)
* some monsters are innately more accurate (Evil)
* monsters can jump (Evil/Splice)
* [[withering]] (xnh/Evil): temporary status that drains 1HP per turn, caused by mummies, cured by holy water or praying.

*Cave Dweller: start with random dragon scale. Can only identify one item from scrolls. 10% of prayer fail if alignment was abused. [[Cannibalism]] boosts alignment. Can't read until 6 Int. Quest has jungle monsters. More HP if [[illiterate]]. Unrestrict riding; restrict edged/pointy weapons.
* Healer: can see monster wounds
*Knight: only lawfuls can dip for [[Excalibur]]. [[Merfolk]] in Quest. Restrict dagger, knife, axe, pick-axe, club and trident.
*Monk: increased body armour penalty. Magic marker as crowning gift. Restrict crossbow, divination, escape and matter spells.
*Priest: can't unrestrict edged weapons. Restrict lance and shuriken, unrestrict riding.

* skills: restrict almost anything. Master [[shuriken]], Expert unihorn, Skilled boomerang/sling/dart, Basic [[bare hands]]
* QA: [[The Holographic Void Lily]], a chaotic [[credit card]]. When carried, grants energy regeneration, half spell damage and reflection. When invoked, boosts scroll drops and shines brightly for 25-50 turns.
* vocabulary replacements ...
* scrolls are labeled by actual rarity (instead of price)
* writing, cloning or polymorphing cards reduces alignment and Luck
* scrolls and books are lighter, cameras can be thrown, decks of cards always behave as blessed, playing cards doesn’t break [[illiterate]] conduct
* no starting pet, can only pacify domestic animals
* -5 to-hit in melee, additionally -20 if wearing armour, -10 for shields, -10 for wielded weapons
* death drops have a chance to be scrolls (decreases from 50% by depth)
...

=== [[Undead Slayer]] ===

* no guaranteed first sacrifice gift, have no techniques(?), cannot turn undead and have no [[multishot]] capability.
*buffed HP growth
*boomerang, bow, club, dart, quarterstaff, shuriken and sling skills are restricted.

Undead Slayers can be played as a [[human]], [[gnome]], [[elf]] or dhampir of any alignment.

to-hit/damage bonus against undead and demons, which are always hostile
can destroy zombie corpses
[[Luck]] and alignment penalty for eating wraiths, alignment for drinking vampire blood

Their special spell is protection.

The starting pet is a [[revenant pup]], a [[phasing]] undead. Chatting with it increases [[apport]] and can also tame hostile ones.

holy wafers stop withering

The Quest reclaim The Argent Cross from The First Evil, travelling from the Desecrated Monastery through the Haunted Catacombs to the Abyssal Vaults.
(inspired by dnh Binder)

The Argent Cross is an [[amulet of reflection]] granting [[half spell damage]], [[disintegration resistance]] and withering resistance when worn that is also a light source. If blessed, it will [[turn undead]] every 15-45 turns; if cursed, your god is angry, or you are non-chaotic and polymorphed into an evil form it will [[aggravate monsters]].

The First Evil is a [[shade]] that can cast mage spells. Its touch attacks can paralyze, slow, freeze and shock. It is resistant to cold, disintegration, petrification, sleep, poison, acid and shock.

The starting weapon skill can always be trained to Expert; getting the shortsword also allows training longswords to Skilled, and getting the whip also allows Master [[martial arts]].
