From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A drow cleric, @, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack. The drow cleric is a type of drow that is a female counterpart to the drow mage, and she is similarly a lord to drowkind. Drow clerics are strong and accurate, have ultravision, can see invisible, and will pick up weapons, magical items and other items that they come across.

A drow cleric has a weapon attack and can cast one clerical monster spell during each of her turns, possesses sleep resistance, poison resistance, magic resistance, and telepathy, and takes extra damage from iron. A drow cleric casting summon insects will summon arachnid or centipede monsters instead of insects.

Eating a drow cleric corpse or tin grants 225 (+8%) additional sleep resistance and may grant telepathy.

Generation

Randomly generated drow clerics may be created as peaceful towards drow heroes, and are always hostile towards non-drow elves and orcs, including heroes of those races. Hostile drow clerics may generate as support for groups of hostile drow raiders and drow warriors.

Drow clerics typically generate with dark elven items: They have a 12 chance of generating with either a dark elven helm or dark elven cloak with equal probability, an independent 13 chance of generating with either dark elven boots or dark elven gloves with equal probability, an independent 34 chance of generating with dark elven bracers, an independent 23 chance of generating with a dark elven tunic, and an independent 78 chance of generating with either a dark elven mace or dark elven heavy mace with equal probability.

All drow weapons generated in a drow mage's initial inventory have a 13 chance of being coated in drow poison.

Encyclopedia entry

Drow, also known as dark elves, deep elves, night elves, and the Dark Ones among orcs, are a dark-skinned sub-race of elves that predominantly live in the Underdark. They are hated and feared due to their cruelty, though some non-evil and an even smaller number of good drow exist.

"Station: In all the world of the drow, there is no more important word. It is the calling of their - of our - religion, the incessant pulling of hungering heartstrings. Ambition overrides good sense and compassion is thrown away in its face, all in the name of Lloth, the Spider Queen." - Drizzt Do'Urden
