 *Placing a line of sight exclusion on a sleeping monster you hope to avoid ([[hydra]]s, dangerous [[unique]]s, etc.) will allow you to continue exploring a floor with auto-explore without the risk of waking it up. Bear in mind that there are many ways to generate [[noise]] that may wake it up, even if it's not currently visible.

 The game will automatically mark exclusions in most places with stationary danger, such as an [[oklob plant]] or dangerous [[cloud]] areas. You can create exclusions by entering examine mode (press '''x'''), moving the cursor over the tile you wish to exclude, and then pressing '''e'''. Pressing '''e''' once will exclude all terrain within [[line of sight]] of the excluded tile. Pressing it again will only exclude the tile itself, and pressing it a third time will erase the exclusion altogether. Pressing '''Ctrl-E''' will remove all exclusions on the current floor.

The auto-explore feature will avoid exclusion-marked areas entirely, and the game will ask you for confirmation before allowing you to walk into an exclusion manually.

 *When auto-travelling onto a floor that has one or more exclusions on it, your character will ignore all unexplored staircases, guaranteeing that you don't wind up in a forbidden area. Although safer, this may be frustrating during exploration.
