Unique demons in SpliceHack are more numerous than their incarnations in vanilla NetHack. They also have lower AC, and are much more dangerous.

Bribery

Bribing a lawful demon prince is similar to NetHack, but with a few key differences. The demon will cycle through the following checks in order.

  1. If the player has a playing card deck in their inventory, the demon will offer to play a game of chance with the player for dominion of their soul. If the player refuses, the demon will get angry.
  2. If the player has a powerful object in their inventory, the demon lord may demand it in exchange for safe passage. Objects demanded include any artifact (except Sting, Orcrist, and those necessary for ascension), a bag of holding, or a wand of wishing.
  3. If the player does not have a powerful object or refuses to hand it over, the demon will demand a monetary bribe of 2000–3000 zorkmids, with an additional 1000 demanded if the player is of a different alignment to the demon. If the demon is in possession of the Amulet of Yendor or the hero is deaf, a sum of money greater than the amount in the player's inventory is demanded.

Dark speech

All hostile unique demons are capable of using dark speech. Each turn, there is a 1⁄18 chance that the demon utters something in the dark speech. If the player does not have sonic resistance and is not deaf, one of several effects will occur.

Probability Effect
1⁄5 Intrinsic loss, as if successfully attacked at night by a gremlin.
1⁄5 Withering for 40–80 turns.
1⁄5 Take 6d6 damage unless psychic resistant.
2⁄5 Nothing happens.
