Class skill and spells #

Trap Disarm #

Class skill · free · not in town

Choose a trapped door, chest or other object. The trap is disarmed if a roll from 0 to 99 is at most 2 × Dexterity − 5 × depth. You then open the object as usual. It cannot be used in town.

The Rogue also senses traps: a trapped object shows "Trapped" in its name when hovered.

The Rogue learns spells from books. Reading a book teaches its spell or raises it one level, up to 15, and each level makes the next book of that spell need 20% more Magic. Staves and scrolls cast spells too. See Spells.

Gear #

Potion of Healing
on the belt

Every Rogue also starts with 100 gold in the purse.

On depth 9 lies the Fallen Champion. Searching the body gives a Rogue a magic Long Battle Bow.

Tips #

Dexterity counts twice with a bow: her arrow to-hit is level + Dexterity + 70, and her damage bonus, level × (Strength + Dexterity) / 200, is added in full to arrows.
An arrow loses accuracy the longer it flies (the flight time squared, halved); her faster arrows lose less.
Her spells cost 0.75 times the usual mana, and potions of healing restore 1.5 times as much.
Trap Disarm works better with Dexterity and worse deeper down: 2 × Dexterity − 5 × depth.
