I'm told that you only get points for "real" EP earned, so gain levels and
dead wraiths don't help your score directly.

	Another hack suggestion: Instead of quitting, you commit suicide
(and possibly leave a ghost). Also, how about some " Boots of Water-Walking"?
Another thing that could be added would be to be able to throw potions at
monsters, and if the potion breaks on it, the potion affects it! (That gives
potions of blindness useful).

If I remember correctly, Rogue on the PC does this.  It's great (and also
makes a lot of sense)!  I believe PC-Rogue is based on version 5.3, but
I'm not sure.

I like this idea!  I've tried throwing dangerous potions at monsters,
but they never even hit.

While we're at it, how about flasks of oil for molotov cocktails?  The
Tourist could be started with a flask of suntan oil...

Actually, that would make potions of poison useful since potions of blindness
are already quite useful.  (eg, you've just eaten a floating eye and you
don't have any gloves [or dead lizards] and you've found a zoo on level
12 with 5 cockatrices running around that you don't want to inadvertantly
run into.)
