	A: This is a feature imported from FIQhack. Since markers don't generate randomly and no roles start with markers now, this lets the tourist be the only role that starts with a marker. They can always find a source of charging later in the game if and when they defeat the quest nemesis.		A: This is a feature imported from FIQhack.

 '''Q: How does artifact wishing work in Hack'EM?'''
-A: The same as in EvilHack. "Instead of being based off of how many artifacts exist in the game total (vanilla NetHack method), success is based off of how many artifacts the player has wished for (successful or not). Another significant difference, is that the odds are high that when an artifact is wished for, it comes with its owner, and the owner is none too happy about it."
