** Elven items are converted from wood to copper - this includes any [[Cold Iron|iron items]] in your starting inventory if playing as an elf. Additionally, some items' base materials have been changed to metal so that elves can wield them safely.<ref>Specifically, runeswords, athames, amulets, and most rings aside from the iron ring and steel ring are now metal instead - this includes the base items for artifacts as well.</ref> |

** [[Boss in Mook Clothing|Minesflayers]] (mind flayers that [[Beef Gate|generated out-of-depth in the Gnomish Mines]] due to monster creation rules) are no longer as hassle, since they are now <code>U</code> (aberrations), not <code>h</code> (humanoids). Among other things, this allows dwarven players to safely kill them with a read scroll of genocide.<ref>In vanilla ''NetHack'', each of the Mines floors select a random monster from the humanoid class to generate, which mind flayers and their 'master' forms are eligible for - but the Mines themselves can occur as early as dungeon level |

In addition, dwarves are also humanoids, which means a blessed scroll of genocide targeted at mind flayers would wipe out the entire class, [[Yet Another Stupid Death|including dwarven players]].</ref> |

** [[Hollywood Chameleons|Chameleons]] and other [[Voluntary Shapeshifter]]s that roll "random monster" for their next form when shapeshifting at random will no longer turn into [[Beef Gate|out-of-difficulty forms]]. Sandestins or [[doppelganger]]s that roll "nasty" or [[Mirror Mook|"player monster"]] can still do so regardless of difficulty (at which point you may have ''other'' problems if you encounter either of them). |
