Any hints on dealing with black puddings? When I hit them I get
more! What does a potion of phasing do? Is a staff of anti-matter
good for anything besides destroying walls and passageways? How
about a scroll of petrification?
I am playing super rogue 2.0. thanks.

Super/Advanced Rogue 2.0 or there abouts:
Black puddings need to be zapped with a wand of cancellation
to prevent them from fissioning.
Potions of phasing allow you to walk through walls. Only
Xorns can chase you there. If you're in a wall when
the potion wears off you'll die an ignoble death by
petrification.
Enter a treasure room. Get all the monsters to follow you
in a parade to a remote corner of the dungeon. Quaff a potion
of phasing. Do an end run on the parade back to the treasue
room. Anti-matter the entrances. Enjoy sorting through the loot.
Then set a trapdoor for yourself and fall through to the next
level.
A scroll of petrification will freeze all the existing
monsters on that level allowing you to beat them into little
itty bits at your own leisure. No deadline pressures here.

<The line-eater missed--More--> My solutions for black puddings is either genocide or trapdoors (make THEM walk over it). I suppose anti-matter would work on them too... A potion of phasing allows you to walk through walls. A wand of anti-matter will destroy *anything* it gets zapped at, including monsters which might otherwise be a pain to eliminate...or stairs!

<=== yum yum, love to eat chocolate pudding ===>
I found an interesting feature of magic pools - monsters can't cross them
'cause they can't swim I guess. If you have black puddings and know where a
pool is then get the puddings to kill themselves. You don't get points but
you do get rid of the little buggers. The only other ways I have seen to get
rid of them are polymorph (risky), genocide (there MUST be a better use), or
drain life.
