When starting NetHack, the game asks for the role you want to play with the option of letting the game randomly pick one. You can also set the role in your nethackrc file or specify it on the command line with the -p option.
Some other games, such as Oberin and Dungeons and Dragons use the word class and MapleStory, for example, uses "job", while NetHack always calls them as roles.
Each role begins with different starting equipment and different levels of mastery in weapons. Intrinsics that are gained when levelling up (such as a Ranger's intrinsic stealth) and conducts (such as the Monk's vegetarian conducts) also vary with each role. When starting Nethack and choosing a role for your character, think about what style you like to play more and go with that instead of randomly selecting one. Experienced players may like the challenge of trying to ascend all thirteen roles.
