For unique monster abilities, see Special ability
An ability is a power that a player character may have, and may choose to use at any time. Abilities can be unleashed by pressing the a key.
Abilities can be:
- Natural abilities, such as a Naga's Spit Poison ability
- Powers given by mutations, such as Demonspawn's Hurl Damnation
- Powers given by an item, such as an artefact's +Blink.
- Powers given by a god, such as Elyvilon's Heal Self.
Abilities have both a cost and a chance of success. They may also depend on the player's state; eg. vampires cannot transform into Bat Form while full of blood. Abilities based on sound or speech are stopped by silence.
