"You have a curious feeling..."

I have that sometimes, as a negative effect. Wonder what it means.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.250.246.11 (talkcontribs)

You got the level drain, but it was blocked by some artifact such as Excalibur, or you were polymorphed into a drain-resistant monster.--Ray Chason 18:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Level 1 Succubus

What happens when you have sex with a succubus at level 1 and it de-levels you? Also, what happens when it says "You're such a nice guy, I wish..."?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.132.29 (talkcontribs)

When you are drained from level 1, whatever the cause, you die; if it's a foocubus, your score line says you died of "overexertion." So don't be too hasty about kicking sinks.
When you get the "nice guy/sweet lady" message, the foocubus teleports away (except on a no-teleport level) and remains in condition to try again; it does not autocancel, nor complain of a headache.--Ray Chason 01:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Which is which

Any chance of a clarification as to which is male and which is female? I always forget... 82.24.163.179 10:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Incubus in Latin means "lying upon"; succubus (i.e. sub-cubus) means "lying beneath". It seems even devils prefer the missionary position.--Ray Chason 17:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
