 * All characters start out with several new scrolls. Scrolls of healing, standard id, phase door, mana and cure will be in the starting inventory, and cannot be polymorphed, blanked or changed in any other way.
 * All characters start with these [[Techniques]]:
 ** '''Invoke Deity''' heals some hit points, as long as your alignment record is positive (don't use it with negative alignment, though).
 ** '''Phase Door''' moves you to a random nearby square (doesn't work on no-teleport levels).
 * The player's [[knapsack]] can accommodate more than 52 items.
 * [[Magic cancellation]] chance of preventing negative effects follows a different formula, and also has a skill (spirituality) to go with it.
-* All skills that aren't restricted to a role can be improved to at least Expert level. Version v82 allows some skills to be taken to Master/Legendary/Wizard/Grand Master levels and makes sure those higher skill levels actually grant bonuses.
+* All characters get a significant boost in the number of skill slots they have.
-* All players start with the new [[appraisal]] technique, which will identify the positive or negative [[enchantment]] value of a wielded item. It can also be used to determine the amount of charges on a [[wand]], [[magic marker]] or similar item.

 '''It can be played online''' by using ssh to connect to the [ssh://slashem@slashem.me em.slashem.me] [[Public_server|server]] (homepage em.slashem.me). As of August 2017, Slash'EM Extended can also be played online at [ssh://nethack@hardfought.org hardfought.org] (USA). The IRC channel #em.slashem.me on [[Freenode]] can be used for game discussion, bug reports etc. In addition, the em.slashem.me server also offers BIGslex, which is basically the same game as regular SLEX but with huge dungeon levels.
 The [https://www.reddit.com/r/slashemextended/ subreddit] can also be used for discussion about the game.

 * At the start of the game, one monster class/symbol (e.g. L or h) will be selected to become completely ungenocidable. Enlightenment may tell the player which class it is in a given game.
 * [[Hangup]] causes penalties including paralysis and a max HP/Pw reduction. If the player hangs up while paralyzed, the paralysis counter is saved so hangup can no longer be used to cheat a paralysis effect; saving the game normally is recommended.

-* Several new special dungeon levels including a new mall (with stronger versions of watch captains), random mazes and mines, and even a weird "plane" level with very random monster/object/terrain generation! Many existing levels also have a chance of taking on a different appearance. For example, Minetown can be "Water Minetown" instead - it's exactly what it says on the tin. Hooray for flying/levitating characters. :D
