Ability

On NetHackWiki, an ability might refer to any of the following:

• Attributes or ability scores such as strength or wisdom.
  • The gain ability effect, which increases ability scores.
  • The restore ability effect, which restores drained ability scores.
  • The sustain ability effect, which prevents ability scores from being raised or lowered.
• Properties that grant resistances and other effects.
• Any action that a hero or monster is generally capable of, such as spellcasting (or monster spellcasting).
  • Skills for weapon and spellcasting proficiency that can be improved through training.
  • The #monster extended command, which allows a hero to use any innate abilities they currently have—most such abilities are only available when the hero is polymorphed.
