Trouble

For the Wizard of Yendor's ability to clone himself, see Double Trouble.

A trouble is an unfortunate condition that might be fixed by a prayer to your god. There are two kinds: a major trouble is more serious and will usually be fixed by any successful prayer, whereas a minor trouble is less serious and will usually only be fixed when praying on a coaligned altar.

Major troubles

Trouble	Condition	Remedy
Stoning	You are turning to stone by some non-instantaneous means.	The stoning condition is cured.
Sliming	You are turning to slime.	The sliming condition is cured.
Strangulation	You are wearing an amulet of strangulation, of any BUC.	The amulet is destroyed.
Standing in lava	You are trapped in lava.	You are teleported to a safe position.
Severe hunger	Your hunger status is weak or worse.	Your nutrition value is set to 900.
Low HP	Your current hit points are 5 or less, or are 1/7 or less of your maximum.	Your max HP is increased slightly, and your HP are restored to maximum.
Lycanthropy	You are afflicted by lycanthropy.	Your lycanthropy is cured.
Extreme encumbrance	Your encumbrance is overtaxed or worse, and your strength has been drained by at least 4.	Your strength is restored to its normal value.
Stuck in a wall	You are surrounded in all eight directions by solid rock, the edges of the map, or blocked boulders. Boulders are considered blocked by rock, map edges, and other boulders, but only if you are not a giant. Xorns and earth elementals are never considered stuck.	You are teleported to a safe position.
Cursed levitation	You are wearing a cursed ring of levitation or cursed levitation boots.	The item is made uncursed.
No free hands	You have no free hands. This can be caused by wielding a cursed two-handed weapon, wielding a cursed weapon and a cursed shield, or by being polymorphed into a form that has no hands.	Any curse on your wielded weapon is removed; this will not remove the curse on your shield. If your polymorphed form has no hands, you are reverted to your normal form, provided you are not wearing an amulet of unchanging. If you are, and the amulet is cursed, the curse is removed instead.
Cursed blindness	You are wearing a cursed blindfold or cursed towel.	The item is made uncursed.
