Strategy tips for notdnethack. My favorite race/role combo is a chaotic vampire madman.

• As a vampiric madman, you need to get out of that straitjacket as soon as possible.
• Due to your intrinsic flying, punishment is easier to to deal with but still annoying.
• Ignoring the primary threat of marids and snakes, quaffing from fountains is relatively safe as a vampire since curses are beneficial for you.
  • The fountain cursing your potions of blood is also a beneficial side effect.
  • If you attract a naiad, make it steal your straitjacket and iron ball.
• When reaching the village containing friendlies of your race, you will have a safe fountain. If you get a marid or snakes, the other vampires can deal with them for you.
• These vampires will kill basically everything for you, so getting food here will be tough.
• You may sometimes find a dead vampire next to the travelling wizard, which contains some light starting gear and usually also potions of blood.
• The loot in the town sometimes includes an axe, a decent enough weapon for the early game.
