Meditating

A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:

"More info on what each tag does. I'm guessing CLOSE monsters are disturbed by mere adjacence and WAITFORU by an attack or a chat?"

Some monsters are created meditating; these will not move or attack until you disturb them. Internally, the game splits it into STRAT_WAITFORU and STRAT_CLOSE.

The following monsters are generated meditating:

• Prisoners (CLOSE)
• All quest leaders (CLOSE)
• Medusa (WAITFORU)
• The Wizard of Yendor (WAITFORU)
• All guaranteed unique demons (WAITFORU)
• All nemeses (WAITFORU)
• Vlad the Impaler (WAITFORU)
