Monsters have a level, and if they drop loot, it just randomly picks any item near the. Equipment status is replaced by lag-meter. In Angband, any monster that drops stuff can drop pretty much anything.A character's current CL in Angband is the highest level for which the experience requirement is met. This is also the rule in variants, although exceptions exist in particular, the stats of player-monsters often depend on their current form, their level, or both. Getting your ghost killed means permadeath - the character is deleted and you need to create a new one. In Vanilla Angband, stats are never directly affected by CL.They may ask for another player to come and read scroll of Life near them or decide to float up to town and get resurrected in the temple but lose all items. Slain players change into ghosts and prevent level where they have been defeated from being deallocated. Events like attaining a character level or killing an unique are reported on chat.A dungeon at certain depth is persistent as long as at least one player sits on this level ensuring that players can meet and fight together, rescue others but this still allows for level scumming. For example in Nethack you can pray to get out of a sticky situation like being diseased, in Angband when you pray you may recive benifits such as weapons, items and even mutations like tentacles, extra arms or even electrical discharges.

Standard home (shop 8) works like an enclosed room rather than a interactive list of items.Players can buy homes and establish stores.Last stage of character generation is selection of six basic stats in preferred order.This way game is playable even with a bit of lag.

Fortunately your character automatically fights nearby enemies and all you need to do is approach them.

Adapting Angband for multiplayer forced many changes.
