Oft, at the beer soaked tables of Rick Gimp Rogue's Net'n'hook, one hears the same refrain. Recently voiced by Joan, or Christoph, or whatever denigration this drunken denizen of deeper dungeons decides to be denoted by: "What exactly is the wizpatch?" Well, JC[1], that's a hard question to answer. We sent our cracked reporter[2] to track down an answer for you. The Wizard Patch is a collection of related[3] changes to the NetHack source code. The changes are intended to improve the game. It makes the Wizard character more like a wizard, the fighting characters less like wizards and it generally improves the way magic works in the game. For a more authoritative review than we can provide, read the somewhat dated but well written posting from Larry Stewart-Zerba. This material was made available to us by Pat Rankin, a regular at Rick's bar. Our staff acquired the patch from the QtNethack Site. The Patch is included in the QtNethack source tarball.
