Your character can gain various '''intrinsics''', or special properties. They are shown when you press %:
  
 
* [[Resistance]]s to [[fire resistance|fire]], [[cold resistance|cold]], [[poison resistance|poison]], [[electricity resistance|electricity]], [[corrosion resistance|corrosion]] and [[negative energy resistance|negative energy]]. These are all obtained from [[ring]]s (except rElec) and particular [[dragon scales]], and can all be found on artefact armour, weapons and jewellery. All except rN are given from a [[potion of resistance]].

* [[Magic resistance]] stops you from being affected by enemy hexes, and can be found on rings and armours as well as artefacts and [[quicksilver dragon scales]]. All races gain some amount of innate MR, ranging from 3 MR per XL for most races to 7 MR per XL for [[spriggan]]s - enough to make them immune to all hexes ("hostile enchantments") by XL 27 without any external equipment.

* [[Willpower]] stops you from being affected by enemy Hexes, and can be found on rings and armour as well as artefacts and [[quicksilver dragon scales]]. All races gain some amount of innate will, ranging from 3 will per XL for most races to 7 will per XL for [[spriggan]]s - enough to make them virtually immune to all hexes ("hostile enchantments") by XL 27 without any external equipment.
  
* [[Spirit shield]] means that external damage sources will subtract from both your [[MP]] and your [[HP]]. Once MP has been exhausted, you will suffer damage as normal. It is obtained from an [[amulet of guardian spirit]], [[scarf]] or [[hat]] of spirit shield, amulet [[randart]]s and a few [[unrandart]]s.

* [[Spirit shield]] means that external damage sources will subtract proportionally from both your [[MP]] and your [[HP]]. Once MP has been exhausted, you will suffer damage as normal. It is obtained from an [[amulet of guardian spirit]], amulet [[randart]]s, and a few [[unrandart]]s.
  
* [[rotting|Rot resistance]] will protect you completely from any sources of rotting, including [[miasma]] clouds. It is obtained only by being under the effects of [[Necromutation]] or [[Statue Form]], being an undead species (ghoul, mummy or thirsty [[vampire]]), [[Zin#Given_Abilities|Zin's Vitalisation]], being a [[demonspawn]] with the [[Demonspawn_mutations#Foul_Stench|foul stench]] mutation, being a [[vine stalker]] or being a [[gargoyle]].

* [[See invisible]] means that you can see [[invisible]] monsters.  It is obtained from several mutations: [[Good_mutations#Acute Vision|Acute Vision]], [[Antennae|Antennae 3]], or [[Jiyva]]'s [[Jiyva_mutations#Eyeballs|Eyeballs 3]]; being a worshiper of [[Ashenzari]], from some [[randart]]s, or by wearing a [[ring of see invisible]] or a headgear of see invisible. [[Naga]]s, [[spriggan]]s, [[vampire]]s, [[felid]]s, and [[palentonga]]s start with this intrinsic.

* [[Clarity]] means that you cannot be unwillingly [[confusion|confused]], [[mesmerise]]d or [[berserk]]ed.  It is obtained as a [[Good_mutations#Clarity|mutation]], being a worshiper of [[Ashenzari]], or through a couple of specific [[unrandarts]].

Your character can gain various intrinsics, or special properties. They are shown when you press %:

  • Willpower stops you from being affected by enemy Hexes, and can be found on rings and armour as well as artefacts and quicksilver dragon scales. All races gain some amount of innate will, ranging from 3 will per XL for most races to 7 will per XL for spriggans - enough to make them virtually immune to all hexes ("hostile enchantments") by XL 27 without any external equipment.
  • Some mutations and artefact properties give other bad intrinsics: notably teleportitis or *Tele, -Tele (also intrinsic to formicids through stasis), berserkitis or *Rage, and -Cast, which randomly teleport the player next to monsters from time to time, stop the player from translocating at all, give the player a chance to go berserk on every attack, and stop the player from casting spells, respectively.
  • HP regeneration rate can be affected by higher max HP and the regeneration intrinsic, found as a mutation and a property found on amulets and artefacts. MP regeneration rate is similarly affected by higher max MP, but also from the amulet of magic regeneration and artefact amulets.
