Talk:Nymph

Is it known whether mountain nymphs (by virtue of their habitat) possess 'mountaineering skills' which might enhance ability to use certain 'mountaineering items' to advantage viz wand of digging? — Preceding unsigned comment added by N8chz (talk • contribs)

Nymphs do use wands of digging to escape (all non-animal monsters do, I think), but they're no better or worse at it for being mountain nymphs. --Jayt 15:46, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I checked the source code, and I can't find any difference between mountain nymphs and wood nymphs. Their stats are the same and neither type is singled out in the code like water nymphs are (which are specified in the code for summoning them at fountains and the like). - Tagmata 00:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Neutralizing Nymphs

I received the following message "...nymph tries to charm you, but you seem unaffected."

I may have zapped it with a wand of cancellation, but I can't be sure for now (and I received no message confirming that the nymph was cancelled), I'm also in Sokoban. 76.17.113.127 04:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

nymph powers

cancelling is the only way, except maybe being blinded?

I want my spellbook back!

The nymph stole a spellbook of drain life from me (I started with one, and I REALLY want it back). But I can't seem to find it. I've used telepathy, but it seems to have disappeared. Can nymphs levelport? Fredil Yupigo 01:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Not on their own, but they can step on levelporters and trap doors just like any other monster.--Ray Chason 01:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Possible. Thanks :) Fredil Yupigo 20:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

She also could have used a wand of digging. 81.111.7.3 18:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Does low AC block stealing?

I've noticed end game even when I get a nymph close enough, I usually just see "The nymph pretends to be friendly. The nymph pretends to be friendly." Does low AC all but rule out theft? I can't find ANY info on this. Where I've really noticed it, though, is when I try to steal back armor from a pet to enchant it higher. Oftentimes, the pet will already have a <-15 AC, and I will trap a pet in a closet, and must hit it 100 times, and I can't steal anything. I just see "You pretend to be friendly to X. You pretend to be friendly to X." Floatingeye 00:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

• The stealing of items by a nymph is an attack just like any other. You must be hit (or hit an enemy yourself if polyselfed in to a nymph) before an item is stolen. With sufficiently high AC, nymphs become less of a threat (although if they DO hit, you'll be proportionally annoyed). If you are trying to steal items back from a pet, try wearing rings of increase accuracy to make the chance of hitting greater. -- Kalon 02:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
