			The general [[Draft:Feeding and gifts#Acceptance and value\|gift rules]] explain delivery and intrinsic value; the priest's depth-based demand and later response are below.

	The priest accepts a single noncursed item or a cash gift. Each accepted gift adds one alignment point. To satisfy the request, that particular gift must be worth at least the square of the current dungeon depth; gifts do not accumulate toward the threshold. For example, depth 3 requires value 9, while depth 10 requires 100. This is the needy-creature rule, distinct from a greedy monster's level-based price.<ref>{{Source\|command2.c\|400\|454}}; {{Source\|inv.c\|364\|427}}.</ref>		The priest accepts a single noncursed item or a cash gift.

A '''mendicant priest''' is a peaceful wandering petitioner who asks for treasure. Satisfying the request can improve alignment and heal a sufficiently lawful player, while attacking the priest risks a curse.<ref>{{Source|minit.h|8}}; {{Source|mtalk.c|207|211}}; {{Source|mspec.c|8|24}}.</ref>

__TOC__

== Generation ==
Mendicant priests can appear in ordinary random pools and at random [[Draft:Main temples|main-temple]] sites. They follow the player, begin needy and peaceful, and carry zero or one random possession. They have no innate immunities or ordinary attacks, and one defensive action.<ref>{{Source|lev.c|280|394}}; {{Source|country.c|600|607}}; {{Source|minit.h|8}}; {{Source|mmelee.c|25|51}}.</ref>

== Giving alms ==
The priest accepts a single noncursed item or a cash gift. Each accepted gift adds one alignment point. To satisfy the request, that particular gift must be worth at least the square of the current dungeon depth; gifts do not accumulate toward the threshold. For example, depth 3 requires value 9, while depth 10 requires 100. This is the needy-creature rule, distinct from a greedy monster's level-based price.<ref>{{Source|command2.c|400|454}}; {{Source|inv.c|364|427}}.</ref>

Once satisfied, a subsequent nearby special action adds five more alignment points. If alignment is then greater than 20, current HP is raised to at least maximum HP. The priest vanishes after this response, without normal death experience or drops. At depth zero the value threshold is zero, and the cash-gift input accepts zero Au.<ref>{{Source|mspec.c|8|24}}; {{Source|inv.c|38|66}}; {{Source|mmove.c|228|242}}.</ref>

If the priest has been attacked, each special action first has a one-in-three chance to inflict ten unstoppable damage and vanish. This curse check takes priority over the satisfied-petitioner reward. Giving alms after attacking therefore does not guarantee the favorable outcome.<ref>{{Source|mspec.c|8|24}}.</ref>

== Remains and strategy ==
Normal death has a 50% chance to leave a corpse. Eating it lowers alignment by ten and adds eight food; a previously lawful player first has food set to 25, ending at 33. Ordinary overeating can still matter for other starting alignments. The corpse has no alchemical use.<ref>{{Source|mon.c|193|201}}; {{Source|item.c|63|139}}; {{Source|itemf1.c|669|689}}; {{Source|aux1.c|716|748}}.</ref>

Alms can provide a modest lawful-alignment gain and conditional healing without combat. Check the current depth before choosing a gift, since a cheap offering that works on a shallow level may fail deeper down. Avoid attacking first if the healing response is the goal.
