Applying this kit while to a corpse dissects it and advances all active research tracks.
Applying this kit over a philosophy altar refills it.
Late game as an undead hunter you may need to dissect an excessive number of monsters. The kit exists to simplify that, since you won't need to altar camp so much.
One is spawned in the possetion of a new "monster" (crimson moon-lotus) that mostly exists to hold the kit behind the veil for you.
Also touches up research
-Dissecting c without gloves is fatal now
-College gets extra research credit for the first of every monster type dissected and reanimated.
Very large flying jellyfish, always peaceful.
While peaceful, emits soothing chiming sounds that raise sanity and heal.
-The jelly itself taxes sanity, so it's unlikely to raise your san to 100, but it likely can to 95 or so.
In combat, the jelly sings healing songs and can sting and disintegrate enemies
-The whole length of the jelly's train in dangerous, stinging for 3d6 damage plus pain
-The "bell" contains the disintegrating tentables.
-Attacking the tentacles won't sever off an additional jelly
-Grows more slowly than long worms, but longer than hunting horrors.
-Insubstantial and not vulnerable to materials or alignments, requiring magic to attack.
--Reveals a bug with flaming melee weapons etc.
Insight monster for mithardir chaos desert

Attacks can have high-san or low-san requirements
Lol, we are back on DNH brand restrictions, as they got majorly revised, and I don't feel like rererererererereconcilling the changes I want with the new list.
Compiles without warnings. This includes the new Fire/Frost Brand
base type rules from ndnh, which differ from both the old ndnh rules,
the old and new dnh rules, and the old nndnh rules: crow quills are
banned, but diskoses and isamuseis are allowed. I don't think this
makes sense and I'll probably change it later, but I'm not sure how
exactly yet.

50% chance of one in the UH quest storebox, Vampire UH may start with one.
Gets bonus damage for a few turns after wounding a monster with blood.
-Doing a blood transfusion, drawing a blood vial, or drawing blood bullets also bloodies the weapon (if wielded or in your swap slot).
-+10 rounds per.
-Adds impurity modifier (1/2 impurity)
-Adds magic damage, +1%x per point of insight, up to +1x
-Bonus damage applies to both melee and ranged attacks, only melee attacks bloody the weapon.
Patas (including Shanta) add 2 base AC and 4 base dr to your glove slot, plus standard enchantment modifiers (ie, 1/2 to each)
In twingun katar form it can be used as a 2-shot gun. It does not recieve bonus multishot from skill.
Shanta patas can use the long sword skill instead of unarmed combat.
On a melee hit in twingun form, fires one or both guns in a V around the primary target. Each shot will only be fired if there is a valid target in range (it will not fire at the air or at peacefuls).
This finishes the quest, "research path" subsitutes for normal altar gifts
and crowning, and ascension, as well as myriad lesser additions and
bugfixes. This role has a few features that I consider "unusually spoiable"
so this commit message will give a spoiler-lite rundown of how to play the
roll, a changelog with unmarked spoilers, then a clear summary of the
spoilers.
Your smithing is capped at basic at the start of the game, upgrading
items with columnar crystals can unlock higher skill caps. Let corpses
rot to find columnar crystals. You will need a forge for this, there is
a guaranteed one in minetown and the quest home level. You can safely
forge any fireproof item. Metal items can be improved up to limits based
on your current smithing skill, non-metal objects can only be improved
using columnar crystals. You can improve basic weapons to 2x energy
weapons by forging with the appropriate spell known. In my opinion this
plus the ability to apply all 3 cult oprops to the same item adds up to
being able to make any half-way decent base weapon type USEABLE in the
endgame. My experience is that they're not the best thing I've ever used
but they also aren't totally crippling.
The quest is designed to be done ASAP, at around 14th level. The quest
home level is generally a good home base, especially after you have
permision to enter the quest. There is a guaranteed general store on
the first filler level.
#offer or #research corpses on a philosophy altar to build research
points. It is heavy on werewolves so you need some means of dealing
with lycanthropy. How to do the research paths are explained
hopefully-fairly-well by the research progress self exam option
(Ctrl-X h). Very roughly, the lawful philosophy offers weapon
improvements, the neutral philosophy offers spellcasting improvements,
and the chaotic philosophy offers (crummy) defensive improvements to
everyone and (strong) offensive improvements to vampires only. You can
advance multiple paths with the aid of wishes but only your starting
path otherwise (even if you change alignments).
Full scoring ascension requires piercing the veil, completing a
quest-related step, and purchasing 6 upgrades from one upgrade path
(the self-exam menu will refer to this as "a breakthrough in the
philosophy of X").

Astral and Ascension:
-Failed ascensions
--Traveling to the astral while the moon isn't close (veiled or incomplete quest) results in astral having the wrong altars (wizard pantheon) and only escapes in celestial disgrace are possible.
--Attempting to enter the astral plane while the moon is close but you haven't completed an active research path or changed to worship an actual god results in the PC being diverted "high into the air", resulting either in death or escape from the dungeon.
---(The PC would not be able to ascend (or escape) at any high altar, so the game is in an unwinable state)
--Attempting to go up the upstairs as a Demigod (with or without amulet) in a state that would be unable to ascend warns the player with new "Still climb?" messages.
--Drinking gain level will fail to lift the PC if they wouldn't get a full-scoring ascension (philosophy god plus veil in place, incomplete research, or moon not close).
-Astral: ariving on astral while moon_close (required to win) subs out many enemies
--Randomly placed at start: 3 moon entity tongues, 3 eye clusters, 6 manipalps, 6 mist wolves, 9 moon fleas.
--Unaligned angels in des become foetid angels, other angels become aether wolves.

--A philosophy worshiper doesn't get an angel companion
--Random non-unique animals and mortals are tongue-puppet templates.
-#researching the amulet of yendor at a high altar lets you win.
--Must have purchased 6 upgades of the matching research path.

--First 2 points (4 pips) are automatic, after that it's !rn2(pips/2).

-Change shopkeeper smithing rules so that "minor" insight weapons aren't caught up in the insight weapon ban.
Spoiler summary:
1) The Quest is meant to be done twice, once towards the beginning of the
game and once in the late game. There is a second quest "nemesis"
(the Moon's Chosen) hidden by the veil on the nemesis level, and
undead-spawning wraiths behind the veil in the lower filler levels.
The SLASH'EM-lifted mist wolves also have a cloud form supressed by
the veil. The quest friendlies will also turn to werewolves if you
take too long about it. I consider this "spoilable" because the timers
here are long enough that it's relatively easy to speedrun once you know
the twist. The Moon's Chosen should be respected, however, as it has a lot
of HP and can do an old-fashioned summon-storm by summoning werewolves that
summon werewolves.
2) The UH Astral is dominated by the Moon Entity (which owes far more to
Remina than to Bloodborne, but then Bloodborne also owes a lot to Junji
Ito). The moon draws progressively closer to the PC as they kill the
quest nemeses, and draws close to the Astral plane if the PC kills the
Moon's Chosen OR if the quest fully times out. The quest is therefore not
actually required to ascend an undead hunter. I consider this "spoilable"
because Weird Insight Stuff is weirder if you DON'T know the exact
mechanics.
