View source for Buer (dNetHack)

{{for|the [[demon lord]] in [[SpliceHack]]|Buer (SpliceHack)}}
'''Buer, who walks all places''' is a [[Spirits (dNetHack)|spirit]] that appears in [[dNetHack]] and [[notdNetHack]].

==Ritual, seal and taboo==
There are no additional restrictions or requirements to bind Buer.

To remain bound to Buer, a character cannot use death magic, such as the [[finger of death]].

==Mark==
The legs of a character that has Buer bound bifurcate into four cloven-hooved feet that can be seen from a distance, but can be hidden by wearing [[boots]].

==Benefits==
While bound, Buer grants extra [[hit point]] [[regeneration]], with the character gaining HP equal to roughly 6 times the character's spirit die size every 90 turns. This is affected by a lit [[dNetHack artifacts#Atma Weapon|Atma Weapon]] as normal. Buer also grants [[skill]] in [[healing spells]] and [[martial arts]], and binding Buer once will permanently teach the character martial arts.

Buer's active powers are as follows:

* '''Gift of Healing''': Heal yourself or a single adjacent target for 5 dice of HP.
* '''Gift of Health''': Clear most status ailments from yourself or a single target. On yourself, cures [[sickness]], [[blindness]] (including from [[cream pie]] gunk and the like), [[hallucination]], [[nausea]], [[confusion]], [[stun]], and [[wounded legs]], in addition to the effects of a blessed [[potion of restore ability]].

Their passive powers are as follows:

* '''Keen Nose''': You gain [[food appraisal]].

==Strategy==
Buer's Gift of Healing is perhaps best used to keep a character's [[pet]]s alive, since monster healing is far slower at 1 HP per 20 turns.

In notdNetHack, '''Buer''', {{yellow|z}}, also appears as a [[monster]] that can be summoned by an [[Illithanachronounbinder]]. They are a [[strong]] [[Zruty (monster class)|zruty-like]] [[animal]] that is considered both male and female, and can be seen via [[infravision]].

Buer possesses a bite attack that is [[poisonous]] and drains [[constitution]], as well as a kick attack.

Like many summoned spirits, Buer cannot be [[tame]]d.

===Generation===
Buer is first generated when summoned from their seal by an Illithanachronounbinder. They are always created hostile, and are not a valid form for normal [[polymorph]].

Buer is [[Monster starting inventory|generated with]] the uncursed '''Talisman of Buer''', an artifact [[amulet of life saving]] that grants regeneration and [[sustain ability]] while worn, and can be [[invoked]] to heal the wearer: it restores an amount of HP equal to half the character's maximum while curing sickness, blindness and [[sliming]], much like [[The Staff of Aesculapius]] or [[Release from Care]].

Buer [[Corpseless|does not leave a corpse]] upon death.

===Strategy===
'''Below this point, there are major spoilers for the Illithanachronounbinder role.''' They can be accessed by selecting the "Role spoiler" tab.

Strategy|
Outside of their poisonous bite and 16 [[speed]], Buer is fortunately rather unremarkable for a spirit that an Illithanachronounbinder must bind sooner or later, especially permanently unlock martial arts.

Role spoiler|
If Buer is killed after being summoned, they can be encountered again in the [[Void]], a branch accessed by opening the high [[altar]] of [[Ilsensine the Fallen]] as an Illithanachronounbinder using the [[invoke]] effect of [[The Elder Cerebral Fluid]]. Buer is generated along with many other spirits of the near void on the first floor of the branch, and is generated with the "whispers" template, which makes them [[nonliving]].
