 ==SLASH'EM==
 Although this weapon is itself unchanged in [[SLASH'EM]], it becomes a much better option for lawfuls in SLASH'EM. There are two reasons for this. The first is that it is quite easy for most lawfuls to obtain. A high-level lawful who sacrifices at an altar will eventually obtain a minion carrying it, and the chances of obtaining minions do not decrease, as they do for sacrifice gifts. Said minion can be easily and safely disarmed with a [[bullwhip]]. Secondly, undead are far more dangerous in SLASH'EM. Spellcasting [[Vampire mage (SLASH'EM)|vampire]] and [[ghoul mage]]s, fast and hard-hitting [[gug]]s, regenerating troll mummies, and other new undead monsters make Sunsword's comparatively limited range of double damage more useful than in vanilla nethack.

This will curse and bless 25% of the potions. Remove the '''[N]'''ames on the potions, allowing the potions to stack, and then the blessed clear potions are holy water and cursed clear potions are unholy. If you cannot altar-test, you can also pet-test for unholy water, and then dip a blessed, non-erodable object into the remaining two stacks - only the uncursed water will wet it. Alternatively, dip the remaining two stacks into each other.

 One very common problem in NetHack is being stuck to a [[cursed]] item. Cursed weapons weld themselves to your hand, cursed armour and jewellery cannot be removed, and cursed [[loadstone]]s cannot be dropped.

 '''Mimics''' are a [[monster class|class of monsters]] whose main defense is to imitate an [[item]] or [[dungeon feature]]. Mimics can be small, large, or giant, and all three kinds are often located in [[shop]]s and [[Sokoban]]. They are slow but powerful hitters and often kill low-level characters who encounter them. The large and giant mimics have a [[sticking attack]], which prevents the player from escaping the confrontation. Walking into a concealed large or giant mimic will automatically stick you. The sticking attack can be protected against with high [[magic cancellation]].
@@ Line 87: / Line 87: @@
 While mimics can be dangerous, they are exceedingly slow and are worth a fairly large amount of experience. Characters with relatively high starting HP and AC, like [[valkyrie]]s, [[samurai]] and [[barbarian]]s can attack more safely, but even the weaker classes can defeat mimics without taking a single hit if you are careful. Assuming you are unburdened, you should get at least 4 moves for the mimic's every 1 move. Just attack three times, retreat one step, and repeat. Be careful of bumping into another mimic! Also, it is recommended that you wake up the mimic from a range (throw a gold piece or rock at it) so to ensure that you don't get hit by it. Remember that mimics are worth enough experience points to make you advance a level, and that therefore to take best profit of them it is usually best to wait till you are level 3 or more before dispatching them.
-If you find one outside a shop, shoot it repeatedly. This works best for [[rogue]]s and [[ranger]]s, though [[wizard]]s can do this well, too. However, beware of using ranged attacks if you are in a shop—any missiles will automatically become the store's property, if the store buys that type of item. Spells of force bolt can destroy fragile items like potions—which you will have to pay for—and of course will hit the shopkeeper if he/she is standing behind the mimic.

 If you have [[warning]], anything that is an item when you can see it and a warning when you can't may be a mimic. If you are warned of a monster, and then see an item where the warning was, it is probably a mimic (or a snake or insect hiding under the object).

 If you polymorph into an intelligent monster with an attack that requires direct contact (biting, tentacles, etc), you will not use this attack against petrifying monsters, as opposed to being instantly stoned. Attacking bare-handed will still stone you, however.
-Polymorphed objects in SLASH'EM will also, eventually, revert, making polypiling of rings, wands, and equipment much less effective (and potentially dangerous—if, for example, you start wearing an amulet of life saving that used to be an amulet of strangulation). However, a polymorphed object in SLASH'EM can be fixed to its new form by being dipped in a [[potion of restore ability]]. Objects that vanish after a single use, such as potions and scrolls, will operate normally, and the fact that they ''would have'' reverted does not change the effect they do have.

−	The '''sandestin''', {{monsym\|sandestin}}, is the rarest seen of the [[shapeshifter\|shapeshifting]] [[monster]]s in [[NetHack]], only being generated in [[Gehennom]]. Despite having the glyph of a major [[demon]] it is not considered as such. Sandestins have a 1/6 chance of changing form per turn, and will mimic [[nasty\|nasties]] 6/7 of the time, or a random monster the rest of the time. It is quite possible to play nethack for a long time without knowing the existence of these monsters, as they always mimic other monsters and leave no corpse.

 Yeomen are one of the few classes to reach expert in bow. This allows Yeomen (especially Elven ones who stand to benefit from racial bonuses) to become potent ranged fighters by the mid to late game- especially if siver arrows are found or wished for. An Elven Yeomen with an Expert in Bow and a +5 Elven bow will fire d5 silver arrows or d6 elven arrows per turn (ignoring the 1/3 chance of extra shots from using elven equipment), this can easily match Reaper's damage output, and from greater range. By the midgame, blessed +2 or higher arrows will very rarely disapear if the player has sufficiently high luck.
-Bows have a distinct advantage over Reaper and other Polearms when dealing with opponents like Vampire Mages and Ghoul Queens- these monsters are noncovetous spell casters capable of summoning nasties. Unlike the ubiquitous Purlple 'L' they don't teleport to or away from you, and have a nasty tendency to flee from the player while spamming [[summon nasties ]]as though it were going out of style. A few volleys of arrows can silence these threats from accross a room or hallway, without worrying about the 2 square range of a polearm or the [[curse items |curse items&nbsp;spell]] in melee combat.

 For similar reasons firearms are a strong secondary ranged option for Yeomen. Yeomen can reach skilled in firearms, and a submachine gun or assault rifle can cause a lot of damage to monsters that don't require an enchantment to hit- noteably the riders. However bullets aren't usually worth enchanting, since they are highly damaging already and are lost after firing, and most of the truely dangerous monsters in Slash'EM require an enchanted wepaon to damage- further limiting the use of firearms. That said, a machine gun and bullets are useful to have stored in your Bag of Holding as a situational powerful ranged weapon.

-'''Athames''' are almost completely identical to daggers, even using the dagger weapon skill. However, athames are exceptionally suited for [[engraving]]. Any non-cursed athame will not dull from engraving, (although any athame that has an enchantment of -3 or lower is too dull to engrave with, regardless of blessed/uncursed/cursed status) and athames engrave at up to 19 letters per turn rather than 1 letter per turn. They are useful for writing messages and, if your version has it compiled in, engraving "[[Elbereth]]."

 Athames are rarer than daggers, as they are never randomly generated. However, the first gift that a wizard receives from his/her god is always [[Magicbane]], a neutrally-aligned artifact athame, and [[master lich]]es and [[arch lich]]es have a chance of being generated with an athame. For master liches, the chance is 6/91 (about 6.6%); for arch liches it is 2/9 (about 22.2%).<ref>[[makemon.c#line609]] (liches generated with athames)</ref> In addition, there's a 1/260 chance of an arch-lich-dropped athame being the Magicbane. Newt, prisoner in the wizard quest end, often carries one.<ref>[[Source:Mplayer.c#line213]]</ref> Finally, prior to 3.3.0, wizards started out with athames.
