Talk:Altar
Re the Nethack Brass section: I believe that converting altars can summon a minion in vanilla Nethack too, and I'm certain that it can in Slash'EM. I haven't time to research the details right now, and I've never played Nethack Brass, but in Nethack/Slash'EM you may be able to kill the minion rather than fleeing from it, or if you do flee you could come back and kill it later.

- I never saw a minion before my first game of NetHack brass, in which at experience level 1, I converted an altar and the lawful god summoned a couatl against me, at which point I chose to run away! I tend to keep my luck up, which might help explain why I never encountered minions while converting altars in vanilla or SLASH'EM. --Kernigh 19:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
A message not here
I got "You think something brushed your foot" while sacrificing, and that's not listed here. I was blind at the time, so it could be the four-leaf clover message for when you're blind, but I'm not sure. Could I get confirmation? --Someone Else 10:31, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- That's correct. I added some more messages to the article. --Jayt 13:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
converting to the altar
Can someone talk about how to convert to an opposing altar? I was playing as a samurai (I think I wasn't doing well so I said eff dis and killed some watch men in gnome town, the sacrificed at the chaotic altar) and I converted and sacrificed some more humans and got some great demon pets.
It was my best game ever.
