can you use the Morph Ovum to turn your enemies into chickens, but you yourself can be turned into a chicken when playing a DeathMatch against other magicians. When you are turned into a chicken, your view changes to floor level, your health goes down considerably, and you start to see the world over a rosy red beak !
Your best defense while a chicken is to either run like heck (you become very fast indeed) until you "snap out of it" . If you'd like to see how powerful your beak is, however, you could also try pecking your foes to death!
You'll notice when you are a chicken that your "momentum" is a bit different. You tend to "glide down" off of high places and "lift up" when running over stairs. Being so small, you can now skoot through many of the "windows" you could only look through as a magician. This will help you save your chicken butt if you can keep away from your enemies !
Also, while you are a chicken, you are still able to invoke a limited number of inventory items. These are:
Morph Ovum : get even with whoever chicken-ized ya!
Tome of Power : return to being a magician (ho-hum)
Wings of Wrath : become a flying chicken!
Enjoy your clucking while you can!

Cheat Codes
===========
Cheat codes are activated by simply typing them in anytime during play. Note that cheat codes do not work in multi-player modes, nor do they work when playing alone in "Black Plague" mode.
Briefly, here they are: quicken: become invincible ('GOD' mode) rambo: Get all weapons with max ammo and full armor skel: get all the keys ponce: get your youth, er, health back kitty: set "Clipping" mode off/on (walk thru walls or not) massacre: wipes out all the nasties at once cockadoodledoo: chicken-izes you shazam: same as activating the Tome of Power (enhances weapons) engageXY: warps you to Episode X, Map Y gimme: get an inventory item once typed, your asked for a letter (a thru j) and then a count of how many you want (1 to 9), as follows: a = Ring of Invincibility b = ShadowSphere c = Quartz Flask d = Not in Shareware Version (says "bad input" after #) e = Tome of Power f = Torch g = Time Bomb of the Ancients h = Morph Ovum i = Wings of Wrath j = Not in Shareware Version (says "bad input" after #)
Also, while in the map display (TAB key), you can type: ravmap: toggles through showing just portion of map you've seen already, or the entire map including secrets, or that plus where the baddies are hiding.
For you Doomers out there, you can try (but you may not like):
IDDQD: ?
IDKFA: ?
I'll leave it up to you to find out what they do (save your game first)!
==================
Multi-Player Games
==================
You can read all about how to play Multi-player Heretic in the
README.TXT file included with the game. You can play DeathMatch or Cooperative, over a modem or on an IPX-compatible network.
For quick connect up, I recommend using the new DM.EXE included with Heretic, which also works for Doom and Doom II as well as
Heretic. In addition to launching multiplayer games, you can actually use it to launch your single player game in a "DeathMatch
2.0" style. This means that, although you are playing single player mode, all items you pick up will respawn again! This should be a great way for some of you novice players out there to learn the game without having to resort to lower monster count skill levels (and thus have more fun!).

=============================
Epilogue and Acknowledgements
=============================
Whew! My head is reeling from typing all this stuff in! :)
Anyway, if you haven't found some info you think should be in this FAQ, please send me some eMail as listed above. I'm sure
I've missed a few things .
What's next for this FAQ? Why, all the low-down for the full, registered version of Heretic, of course! And the many additions, corrections, etc. that will come flooding in soon
I think !
I'd like to acknowledge a few people here, most (heck, all) of whom have no idea their being acknowledged:
My wife, Susan, because she's my wife and puts up with this junk as much as she can stand to .
My cohorts on the job, who still occasionally (but sometimes reluctantly ) agree to play Doom or Heretic DeathMatches against me. Heaven save their fragged to bits souls .
Hank Leukart, who put together an incredible FAQ for Doom and thus inspired me to stick my neck out with this one.
Mark J. Thibodeau, for posting the names of the creatures as found in the registered version (lucky so and so ).
David Bibby, for latching onto my original post, adding to it, and relentlessy doling it out to all who asked for info about Heretic .
All the different folks who posted cheat codes on GAMERS, including, but probably not limited to:
Robert E. Waring, Brandon Jones, and "Fric" (along with Roger and Justin Strauss).
So, that's it for this version. Hope you liked it!
Meanwhile ....
Happy Heretic-ing :)

P.S. If you are familiar with the Doom FAQ, you've seen the great text representation of the Doom logo at the top of it. I would love to include a similarly great Heretic logo at the top of this FAQ for the next version. If you have the time, the inclination, the ability to make one, and the desire to "get your name in lights" in this FAQ, please eMail it to me at the address above - thanx!
