Version 0.32: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

Alternate items, also known as item sets, are a group of similar, but distinct items. Items within a given set are mutually exclusive; only one will generate in any given game. Backgrounds (except wanderer) ignore this mechanic and will come with their designated items, no matter if they actually spawn in the dungeon proper.

Scrolls

Summoning - summon creatures

Wands

Beam - highly damaging bolt

Blast - never misses, 3x3 area

Hex - status, checks willpower

Evocables

Elemental - Wide area of effect

Summoning - Summons allies

Control - Restricts movement or abilities of enemies
