The oracle is a unique monster and the "Oracle Room" is a dungeon feature. So The Oracle is both. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PraetorFenix (talkcontribs) 19 June 2006.


Can someone verify this: "The experience gain is higher when first buying a major consulation and then a minor than vica-versa." I cannot find the source where i learned this from. --BlackShift 09:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I modified the article to include source code references. --Jayt 12:12, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

More mythohistory stuff[]

In particular, the Delphic Sibyl was not actually connected with the Delphic Oracle itself; the NetHack Oracle is actually a reference to the Pythia; I also added notes on the different oracles referenced by the sound effects, and some more about [news://rec.humor.oracle rec.humor.oracle].

I'm also tentatively suggesting changing the title of that section to "History", as the Pythia is an actual historical figure. I've changed it to "Mythology & History" temporarily until I see if anyone agrees with me :-o GreyKnight 12:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

"Origin" is probably better, as the section heading "History" is being used for describing a thing's behaviour in a past version of NetHack (see style guide). There's not an awful lot of stuff in NetHack based on real history, but just about every article could have a History section. --Jayt 13:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Male vs Female[]

Is the oracle really female? Where does it say that?

Notice the M2_FEMALE flag in Monst.c#line2399 --Paxed 14:06, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

level features[]

Can the oracle level have a shop? A temple? Another type of special room? I have never seen any of it. However, as I read the source code, it should be possible. -Tjr 14:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
