Mysterious force
- A mysterious force momentarily surrounds you...
The much-maligned mysterious force is a random level teleportation effect that occurs one quarter of the time[1] when trying to climb stairs in Gehennom with the Amulet of Yendor. Lawful characters are dumped up to three levels below their current location; for neutral players it is up to two and for chaotic it is up to one. (This includes occasionally being teleported around the level, a kind of "zero level drop".) These effects are summarized in the table below.
| Level change | Lawful | Neutral | Chaotic |
|---|---|---|---|
| +1 | 75.0% | 75.0% | 75.0% |
| 0 | 6.25% | 8.33% | 12.5% |
| -1 | 6.25% | 8.33% | 12.5% |
| -2 | 6.25% | 8.33% | 0 |
| -3 | 6.25% | 0 | 0 |
A mysterious force is also cited as the reason that one cannot teleport on a non-teleport level, or descend the staircase on the quest home level without first getting permission from your quest leader [2].
