The Species, Background, and God choices are all mandatory. You must be worshipping one of the gods listed above before entering Lair, Orc, or Depths, unless this isn't possible in which case you must worship them as soon as you can. Don't use faded altars (except in challenges where you can choose any god), and don't do anything to lose your religion unless otherwise specified.

Cosplay conduct points

1. Weapons

Use only short blades, one-handed staves, throwing nets, and untrained UC for weapons.

2. Armour

Don't train the shields skill. You can still use a shield if you want.

3. Magic

Have Air Magic as your highest skill, when you have any skills higher than skill level 8. Don't worry if another skill goes higher by a bit, just turn it off until Air Magic overtakes it. With Ashenzari, only base skills matter -- you should always have an Air Magic skill title.

Conducts are worth +5 points each, to a maximum of half your score from milestones, rounded down. (So if you achieve 4 milestones (20 points) you can earn up to 10 points from conduct bonuses.) Please indicate which conducts you qualify for when you post your morgue. Small mistakes in following conducts will usually be forgiven.

Bonus challenges

1. Are You Insulated?

Use only Air Magic and Translocations spells. Multi-school spells are allowed, as long as one of the schools is Air Magic or Translocations. (Poisonous Vapours, Summon Forest, etc.)

2. Sparks Are Gonna Fly

Get the orb within 6500 turns of entering Zot.

Bonus challenges are worth one star each, similar to banners in Crawl tournaments. Please indicate challenges that you qualify for. Small mistakes will usually be forgiven.

The main way to score points. +5 points each, and can be done in any order.
