Challenge Details

The Species, Background, and God choices are all mandatory. You must be worshipping one of the gods listed above before entering Lair, Orcish Mines, the Vaults or Depths, unless this isn't possible in which case you must worship them as soon as you can. Don't use faded altars (except in challenges where you can choose any god), and don't do anything to lose your religion unless otherwise specified.

NOTE: Except for Beogh, Ignis, Jiyva and Lugonu, an altar for the other gods will ALWAYS show up by D:10.

Special Rule or Notes

Cosplay conduct points

1. No melee

After reaching ** piety with Ihp'ix, never make a melee attack unless you have no ammunition.

2. Title

Always have a Bows title (or CeAM's starting "Vexing"). This requires Bows to be you highest skill.

3. Charms

Train Charms to level 12 before XL 27 and have at least one permanent charm spell other than Beastly Appendage or Infusion at 5% failure - Shroud of Golubria, Song of Slaying, Regeneration, Portal Projectile, Deflect Missiles, Excruciating Wounds, Death Channel, Ring of Flames, or Iskenderun's Battlesphere. Use it through Zot and the orbrun. It's fine to turn it off briefly, eg, by quaffing a potion of cancellation, or to have it suppressed by eg miscasts or quicksilver dragons.

Conducts are worth +5 points each, to a maximum of half your score from milestones, rounded down. (So if you achieve 4 milestones (20 points) you can earn up to 10 points from conduct bonuses.) Small mistakes in following conducts will usually be forgiven.

Bonus challenges

1. Chunky!

Eat mutagenic chunks until you have gained mutations 12 times, even if some of them were cancelled out later. To check, count lines in the dump that say "Gained mutation: ... [mutagenic meat]". If you quaff a potion of mutation, the count restarts from 0. Remember that mutagenic monsters "cool down"; you can't park them in the Temple and eat them later. Once you have done this, you are free to use potions of mutation.

2. Abyss me!

Get the abyssal rune of Zot on Abyss:5 ...and win the game!

Bonus challenges are worth one star each, similar to banners in Crawl tournaments. Small mistakes will usually be forgiven.

Milestones

• Reach XL3.
• Enter Lair, Orc, or Depths.
• Reach the bottom of Dungeon, Lair, or Orc.

The main way to score points. +5 points each, and can be done in any order.
