Sin, represented overall by the character 7, is a monster class in SpliceHack that encompasses the Seven Deadly Sins. All sins are unique and only encountered in the endgame. Each of the planes contains one of the seven sins, determined randomly, at a random location. Fighting them is optional, and it is generally preferable to avoid them, due to their high level and exceedingly nasty attacks.

All of the sins are capable of following the player through portals.

Wrath

Wrath is a dangerous physical combatant with a high damage output. He is fast, able to jump, and can hit the player from two squares away using his spiked chain. Due to his high speed and varied forms of movement, Wrath is one of the sins it is more likely for the player to encounter.

Wrath is generated with the following items:

  • 20 knives
  • Plate mail
  • Spiked chain. This spiked chain is made of whatever material the player's race is vulnerable to, if any.

Sloth

Sloth is slow and easy to avoid, but very difficult to destroy and potentially deadly when fought in melee. Sloth has regeneration and revives as a troll does.

Pride

Pride is unsolid and will phase through walls to approach the player. Their psychic attack can potentially confuse their target.

Greed

Greed does a large amount of damage and can steal items, gold pieces, and energy from the player, but is otherwise unremarkable.

Lust

Lust is not terribly dangerous on their own, but can make fighting a group of monsters very difficult. Lust possesses calming, tickling, seduction, and disarming attacks, and an encounter can potentially leave the player very vulnerable.

Gluttony

Gluttony posses a potentially deadly digestion attack and can inflict hunger on the player.

Envy

Envy is the most frequently encountered of the sins, and potentially the most annoying for the player. Their multiple intrinsic-stealing attacks can deprive players of crucial resistances during the endgame, and their covetous nature makes them almost impossible to avoid. Unlike the other sins, Envy is not immune to petrification.
