| − | One should bear in mind that the choice of role (and to a lesser extent, race and alignment) has a dramatic effect on the style of play. Although in the late game, the characters can be played almost the same way (with a few exceptions), during the early game it is crucial that one utilizes the varying abilities of each of the roles and/or races. For example, running up and bashing a monster as a wizard would likely result in [[YASD]], and reading unidentified [[spellbook]]s as a valkyrie or samurai could lead to paralyzation and death by a [[newt]].

| − | Shopkeepers in bones files remember the name of the character that angered them. If you have the same name, they'll be angry at you, too.

| − | "[[Elbereth]]" on headstones is ignored precisely to deal with the case of a player naming themselves such.
