Archeologist
- Special alignment penalties made harsher.
- Itlachiayaque Patch installed.
- Itlachiayaque is a shield of reflection (thus, automatically confers 2 AC and reflection).

- When invoked, it creates a stinking cloud that the player can place unless Itlachiayaque is cursed or the player is not an Archeologist.
Barbarians
- Can reach expert in Broadsword and Trident.
- Barbarians now have iterative attacks when in their natural form:
- At 11th level, they start making two attacks per turn, one at full to-hit, the next one at -10.
- At 21st level, they start making three attacks per turn, at full, -10 and -20.
- At 30th level, they make four attacks per turn, at full, -10, -20 and -30.
- Should they wish to make fewer attacks, they may do so as n(number)F.
Knights
- Can reach expert in polearms but only basic in two-weapon fighting.
- Can expend 30 energy to turn undead in 1 turn instead of 5.
- Special alignment penalties made harsher.
- Clarent patch implemented, with Clarent as the Knight first gift.
- Clarent has the following properties:
- Intelligent lawful short sword
- Can be used to dig
- When invoked, reveals the location of your retinue (all tame creatures) on the level, and increases the tameness of any within line of sight
- Acts as a luckstone
- Clarent submits to being held second to Excalibur (but not the other way around)
- Annoys demons
- If Clarent is stuck in a wall/door/tree/stone, then it can be pulled out by #untrap as long as you are at least devoutly lawful
- Is not generated at random.
- +d8+2 to hit and +d2 damage against thick-skinned monsters (all gargoyles, all mimics, all naga, all baby naga, all dragons, all baby dragons, the Chromatic Dragon, Ixoth, {gold, wood, clay, stone, glass, iron} golems, mumakil, titanotheres, baluchitheria, mastodons, earth elementals, xorn, skeletons, horned devils, barbed devils, sharks, crocodiles, salamanders).
- Clarent has the following properties:
Monks

- Intrinsic energy resistance is more valuable in dnethack, as intrinsic energy resistances gained from eating corpses now time out.
