Editing Ancient Domains of Mystery (section)

=== Difficulty ===
No matter how powerful players get, there is always a way for them to die if they become careless. In rare cases, instant deaths are possible from using cursed equipment or gaining the "doomed" intrinsic. Some monsters have powerful abilities that need specific counters, necessitating a change in strategy from traditional roguelike games. Some items have powerful effects on monsters. Undead beings are burnt to ash by holy symbols, and chaos beings are badly hurt by thrown potions of cure corruption. Strengths and weaknesses are often revealed in the monster memory and through rumors.

Death of player characters is meant to be [[Permanent death|permanent]]. The game exits after saving, effectively limiting [[Saved game|savefile]]s to one per character, and the savefile is erased upon loading.
