NetHack PatchDB	unknown

The Noble is a role added in the Noble Role patch, which was implemented for dNetHack.

Nobles are a melee-focused role that specializes in one-handed weapons. They can engage in some spellcasting if their ability scores are good enough.

They can be Humans, Incantifiers, Vampires, Elves, Drow, Dwarves, or Half-dragons. In this variant many races receive race-specific quests, artifacts, equipment, and skill lists for this role.

dNethack Human, Vampire, Incantifier, and Male Half-Dragon Noble

Human, Vampire, and Incantifier were the first races to be implemented for Noble (as a set together), and their Noble configuration is therefore the 'default'. Male Half-Dragon uses this same configuration as a placeholder while its unique configuration is under development. This configuration is essentially the Vampire racial configuration, and is very (very very) loosely based on the classic Ravenloft D&D module.

Skills

Noble skills
Max	Skills
Basic	Weapons: dagger, club, morning star, polearms, trident, flail, javelin, crossbow
Skilled	Weapons: short sword, bow, broadsword, lance Combat: riding, bare handed Spells: attack spell, escape spell, healing spell, enchantment spell

Starting Equipment

• +2 rapier
• Noblemen: ruffled shirt
• Noblewomen: Victorian underwear
• +1 leather gloves
• +1 leather cloak
• A random ring

Artifacts

First Gift: Rod of Lordly Might

The Rod grants +1d3 to-hit, 2x damage, and can be invoked for a variety of effects.

• At will: The Rod can be ordered to assume a different form as often as desired.
  • Become Mace
  • Become Axe
  • Become Rapier
  • Become Spear
  • Become Lance
  • Fast engraving: the Rod engraves as an athame.
• Limited: these powers are limited by the artifact's invoke cooldown. Once you invoke one of them, you can't invoke any of these powers for rnz(100) turns.
  • Become Ladder (Rod must be a mace):
    • Before gaining the amulet: Similar to quaffing a cursed potion of gain level, allows you to escape through the ceiling to the level above.
    • After gaining the amulet: Similar to zapping a wand of digging downward, allows you to escape through the floor to the level below.
    • While swallowed: Similar to zapping a wand of digging, the extending ladder seriously injures physical monsters engulfing you.
  • Show me my surroundings: Maps local area using clairvoyance.
  • Inspire Fear: Scares nearby monsters that can see you.
  • Give me your life (Rod must be a spear): Drains two levels from one adjacent monster, healing you for 4d8 hp.
  • Kneel: Paralyzes one adjacent monster.

Quest Artifact (non-vampire): Mantle of Heaven

The Mantle of Heaven is an artifact ornamental cope that grants cold resistance when carried. When worn, it also grants shock resistance , half spell damage, and double the AC bonus of a non-artifact ornamental cope. As an ornamental cope, its base item type varies from game to game. If found in a bones file, it will be lawful

Quest Artifact (vampire): Vestment of Hell

The Vestment of Hell is an artifact opera cloak that grants fire resistance when carried. When worn, it also grants acid resistance, half physical damage, and double the AC bonus of a non-artifact opera cloak. As an opera cloak, its base item type varies from game to game. If found in a bones file, it will be chaotic.

Crowning Artifact (Lawful or Neutral Non-vampire): The Crown of the Saint King

The Crown of the Saint King is an artifact gold circlet that causes all pets on a dungeon level to follow you when traveling between dungeon levels (normally, only adjacent pets will follow you between levels). When invoked, it shows the location of all pets on the current level, and increases their tameness. This can be useful for keeping inediate pets tame. As a gold circlet, its base item type varies from game to game, it may even be a Helm of opposite alignment. As with all gold circlets, it increases your charisma score by its enchantment bonus when worn. It can be safely enchanted at +5 or below, meaning it can safely reach +7.

Crowning Artifact (Vampire or Chaotic Non-vampire): The Helm of the Dark Lord

The Helm of the Dark Lord is an artifact visored helmet that causes all pets on a dungeon level to follow you when traveling between dungeon levels (normally, only adjacent pets will follow you between levels). When invoked, it shows the location of all pets on the current level, and increases their tameness. This can be useful for keeping inediate pets tame. As a visored helm, its base item type varies from game to game, it may even be a Helm of opposite alignment. As with all visored helms, it protects your eyes from the blinding attacks of Ravens. It can be safely enchanted at +5 or below, meaning it can safely reach +7.
