I know that for new players the learning curve can be quite steep, would it be an idea to give players either a starting kit with maybe an identified uncurse and identify scroll, or healing potions, or maybe enchanted starting weapon and armour? Once you have won and ascended you no longer receive it, the ‘are you sure you want to continue’ dialog when you start ascending can say that returning to the surface will end the starting buff.

    I dont know if I realy would like this as a new player. Part of the rougelike game fun is to fail and to figure out, having an improved start would at least for me reduce the fun of fucking around and finding out.
