Kicking is a directional action performed by pressing Ctrl-D (or optionally #kick). Kicking has a number of uses.

Kicking objects

  • Kicking heavy or immovable objects may result in injury ("Ouch! That hurt.").
  • Repeated kicks may render your leg useless for a short time, making you unable to carry heavier loads ("Your leg is in no shape for kicking.").
  • Kicking an object that has no room to move will give the message "Thunk!".
  • Kicking a loadstone, even if it has room to move, will give the message "Thunk!", unless the player has the necessary strength to move an object of that weight naturally.

Kicking monsters

  • Kicking monsters induces (not very much) damage. This may be desired in some cases (pacifist).
  • Kicking a cockatrice corpse without wearing boots will result in stoning.
  • Kicking a sleeping monster will wake it up.

  • Boots of any kind allow the player to kick cockatrices.
