* '''Dragonmaster:''' Dragonmasters are a melee role with a focus on pets. Dragonmasters begin the game with a saddled baby red dragon, and all chromatic dragons are treated as domestic for them (meaning they can be tamed, among other things). A Dragonmaster's dragons can attempt to burn slime off of them, awaken them if they fall asleep, and help them get unstuck. Standing next to a pet dragon will allow a dragonmaster to regenerate energy. Dragonmasters may struggle in the late game due to a frustrating quest and an inability to wear dragon scales and scale mail.
 
−
* '''Cartomancer:''' Cartomancers are a magic-based role that focuses on using scrolls (otherwise known as spell cards). Every time they read a scroll, there is a chance that the scroll is not used up and can be read again. Using magic markers will cause alignment penalties for "forging cards." This role is extremely difficult, similar to the difficulty of playing a tourist. They do start the game with a large supply of shuriken, however.
 
−
* '''Pirate:''' Pirates are from the pirate patch. More information about them can be found on the [[pirate]] page. They are a relatively strong role in SpliceHack, given the large number of artifacts that can be found and the potential advantages of polypiling using their quest artfiact.

== New races ==

* '''Angel:''' Angels begin the game with intrinsic flying and aggravate monster. They have low max scores, however, and all demon lords and princes are automatically hostile to them.
 
−
* '''Ghoul:''' Ghouls are carnivores can only eat old corpses. They start the game poison and drain resistant, and all ghoul monsters are peaceful to them.
 
−
* '''Infernal:''' Infernals start with infravision, fire  resistance, and gain hungerless regeneration at level 4, making them incredibly strong combatants. Unfortunately, they take 1d20 extra damage from silver, just like monsters do. Additionally, silver items generate much more often for them than for other races.
 
−
* '''Merfolk:''' Merfolk have poor maximum stats, but start the game with intrinsic swimming, and gain intrinsic magical breathing at level 7.
 
−
* '''Werewolf:''' Werewolves are an extremely challenging race that begin the game with permanent, incurable lycanthropy and are vulnerable to silver. Other lycanthropes are peaceful to them, however, and they have good stats.
