A '''dented pot''' is a type of [[helm]], often dropped by [[Yendorian Army|soldier]]s. It provides the same base [[AC]] as a [[helmet]] and falling rock/boulder protection, at one-third the weight. Unlike most helmets, taking it off or putting it on does not always consume a full [[turn]] if you're [[speed|fast]], although it still requires one [[speed|action]].<ref>[[Source:objects.c#Helmets|objects.c, lines 295&ndash;319]]: All headgear have a wear/remove delay of 1 turn, except [[fedora]]s and dented pots which have 0.</ref>

A dented pot is a type of helm that appears in NetHack.

Generation

Dented pots are frequently generated as one of the possible starting helmets for the Yendorian army, as well as guards and watchmen.[1]

Effects

When worn, it provides. 1 AC and protects your head from falling objects, the same as a regular helmet. Unlike the regular helmet, it has one-third of the weight. Taking off or putting on a dented pot consumes a minimum of one action, but is less likely to use a full turn than a regular helmet, especially if you are fast;[2] it shares this trait with the fedora and leather jacket.[3][4]

History

The pot was subject to a bug where, after a bugfix to prevent the enchantment of armor becoming known if the player character is interrupted while putting it on, armor that had no turn delay to wear did not have their enchantment revealed; this was fixed in NetHack 3.6.2.[5] A somewhat similar bug occurred where taking off a fedora or dented pot would leave it stuck and take off the player character's body armor instead; this was fixed in NetHack 3.6.3.[6]
