I removed the strategy of waking the MA with a mind flayer blast. The blast has a range of only seven, so no matter where you stand in the up-stairs room, he'll be out of reach.--Darth l33t 01:52, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Using a mind blast

I was able to alert the nemesis of my presence both in game and again in wizard mode. It is very possible.

All of the spots marked 'M' should be within range. Unless I'm miscounting, all are within a 7x7 square. The solitary M is where I did it in both wiz mode and in my one real game, so I know that one will work. All are within the block that has neither the assassin nor the upstairs, so you can dig a hole in the floor above and keep dropping down until you end up in either the assassin's block or the other block. I was fortunate enough to have a polymorph trap that I used to get a tame mind flayer and just got it as close to the marked position on the wiki's map as possible, and he suddenly attacked me. It certainly works. -- Qazmlpok 23:06, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Starting gold

I noticed that the amount of gold a rogue starts with isn't listed here like it is on the Tourist page. From my experience, it appears to be 1000-2000, could anyone confirm this? -AlphaPikachu578 04:45, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Rogues don't start with any gold in vanilla. Are you playing a variant? --Darth l33t 07:06, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed I am, sorry about that. -AlphaPikachu578 23:37, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

SLASH'EM shopping

Playing SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F3, noticing that costs in shops appear to be a lot more than most other characters I play. I have 8 CHA, but the costs seem to be even further out of whack. Do rogues get bumped up a cost level in SLASH'EM? --AileTheAlien 05:43, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
