Summary: 

>I just started playing Advanced Rogue 2.0, which is like a muchly
>enhanced rogue 5.2. It has 4 types of characters (fighters, clerics,
>etc) lots of new monsters (blink dogs, etc) and many neat new features
>like shimmering pools, trading posts, and maze rooms. So, I have
>some questions:

>1) What is a staff of charging?
>2) I got diseased by a mummy and died. I was pretty tough before then,
>my character was level 11 with 130 hit points. My hit points gradually
>drained away. What can I do about it?
>3) What is the potion that makes a blue aura about your head?
>4) Can you ever buy food from a quartermaster?
>5) How do variables like intelligence and wisdom enter into the game?
>6) I read a scroll (raise ability I think) and then some items became

1) A staff of charging allows you to recharge any other staff.  Zapping
   once costs one charge frlom the charger and puts one into whichever
   one you want.
2) Read a cure disease scroll, pray for a cure disease spell, or wear
   a ring of sustain health.
3) Clear thought (no more confusion, fright, etc.)
4) Not that I've seen...
5) Definitely try out being a mage or cleric.  As a cleric, you can pray
   (p), and as a mage, you can cast spells (C).  Higher intelligence means
   more spells at a given level, and higher wisdom means more prayers at
   a given level.
6) You probably read a blessed scroll of Identify.  If it said: "You feel
   more Knowledgable" then that's what it was...
