👉 A Temple is a special room containing a shrine dedicated to one of the game's deities, tended by a priest.
ℹ️ Description
A Temple is a highly valuable special room because it contains a stationary altar (shrine) and an aligned priest. Temples provide a safe haven for characters of the same alignment and a place to identify the blessed/cursed status (BUC) of items, make donations, or sacrifice monsters.
🗺️ Generation
Temples generate on Dungeons of Doom levels between level 9 and Medusa's level. The generation probability depends on whether a temple has already been generated:
- First Temple: A 1 in 7 chance per level. If no temple has been generated by the time you reach 5 levels below the Oracle's level, a Temple is guaranteed to generate on that level.
- Subsequent Temples: A 1 in 17 chance per level.
The temple contains a central stationary altar dedicated to a random deity (Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic), tended by a peaceful aligned priest of the matching alignment.
