Hordes: Hordes moved page Out-of-depth to Out-of-depth timer: "Out of Depth" refers to the monsters themselves; a D:5 2headed ogre is OOD. This phrasing is also used in the manual.

-*OODs do not apply for the first 700 turns on D:1, and are applied slightly less often for 584 turns on D:2.
+There are "moderate" and "super" out of depth monsters, which spawn at different rates.
-* All other levels have a straight 14% chance of moderate OOD fuzz for each monster at level generation, and the chances of moderate OODs go up to 100% after a ramp-up period. After 7800 turns, all the monsters are moderately OOD.
-*Under normal circumstances, the max possible difference is 5 levels.
+*Moderate OODs are up to 5 levels out of depth (favoring lower values). Most floors have a flat 14% chance of moderate OOD fuzz for each monster. The chances of moderate OODs ramps up, reaching 100% after 7800 turns.
-*There are two mechanisms for generating "super out-of-depth" monsters; one can generate monsters up to (current level * 2) + 4. This is the one used by vaults: the glyph used in vault definitions is an '8'; the other is current level + an average of two random numbers between 0 and 26.  Super OOD monsters are quite rare, unless you [[scumming|scum]] on a floor for several thousand turns.  They can happen after you reach 1400-117*depth turns (e.g. on D:13, they can happen at level generation) and the initial chance is 0.02%. After 3000 turns have passed, the chance increases until you reach 12,000 turns, at which point all monsters generated (if any) are created using the second super OOD method only.
+*Super OODs are either <code>(2 * floor_level) + 4</code> or <code>floor_level + 2d(27)/2 - 1</code> levels out of depth. They can happen after you reach <code>1400 - (117 * depth)</code> turns. The initial chance is 0.02%. After 3000 turns, the chance increases until reaching 100% at 12000 turns.
-*[[Vault]]s will often contain overly powerful monsters: the vault designer can put in a random OOD monster via the above mentioned "8" glyph, or can specifically hard-code a difficult monster in a vault that can appear early on.
 ==History==
-*Since [[0.21]] monsters no longer spawn after level-generation in most places.
+*As of [[0.21]], monsters no longer spawn over time. Therefore, the out-of-depth timer became obsolete.
