Amnesia trap

An annoying trap, similar to a teleport trap or a pit that if entered causes you to forget the identity of 1-4 scrolls and/or potions.

(a way to keep scrolls of identity relevant later into the game)

Re: Amnesia trap

No, this would lead to people writing down the color of the potions. Or something like that. No. Really. No.
If all the world were apple pie,
And all the sea were ink,
And all the trees were bread and cheese,
I'd still play Dungeon Crawl.

Yeah even if it generated new fake appearences for all those items and made you like drop them or something (So you can't remember them by inventory slot)
there'd be still be leaks (which ones I'm carrying, how many)

Really it's not a reasonable idea for DCSS (it's not fun or interesting in nethack either)

Re: Amnesia trap

Amnesia trap that makes you forget random memorized spells and deletes them from your library.

If it is not a joke, then we need some traps which affect spell-less characters only for balance.

Even NetHack is removing it.
