 However, the slippery effect is generally a negative. Being forced to move, at seemingly random intervals, can cause a lot of problems. It makes [[stair dancing]] very difficult. You can be forced onto traps or into [[shallow water]]. It often makes your positioning worse. And slippery is unreliable: since you must be ''damaged'' in order for it to proc, dodging an attack means you won't actually get pushed back.

 ==Tips & Tricks==
 * The clouds of bats made by [[Ravenous Swarm]] make living player species [[Drowsy]], which will turn into full [[Sleep]] after being inflicted enough times. Walking out of these clouds can be quite important, but isn't always possible between nearby terrain and the movement-binding of Grave Claw- deploying [[Translocations]] or [[scroll of blinking|scrolls of blinking]] can be crucial for avoiding a final rest.
 * Dominate Undead doesn't matter a lot versus [[necromancy]] casters in Crypt, but it will affect both [[Infestation]] [[death scarab]]s and allies gained through [[Yredelemnul]], and the rare appearances in Depths vaults can catch the rest of one's undead army. Leaving them behind elsewhere on the floor can be a better idea than fighting one's own charmed allies.
-* Player undead are immune to bat cloud sleep, but Dominate Undead will [[Vex|vexed]] them also with no line-of-fire required, so stacking on Willpower becomes absolutely crucial.
