Here begin the '''SPOILERS''' that give more basic strategy for playing NetHack.
If you are a beginner, it is much easier to stay alive as a big dumb warrior, such as a Barbarian, Valkyrie, or Samurai. These classes are much more likely to survive melee with monsters.
 
=== What type of character should I play? ===
 
If you have played a few games, then by now you might have guessed that some character roles are easier to play than others. If you are a beginner, it is much easier to stay alive as a big dumb warrior, such as a Barbarian, Valkyrie, or Samurai. These classes are much more likely to survive melee with monsters.


Race is not as significant as class, except that Elves have very low limits on their strength and constitution. An elf is capped at strength 18, other races can reach 18/50 or even the maximum 18/**. So, if you want to have an easier game, play as any race that is not an Elf.
