		+	==Origin==
		+	{{wikipedia}}
		+	A white coat, also known as a laboratory coat or lab coat, is a knee-length overcoat or smock worn by professionals in the medical field or by those involved in laboratory work. The coat protects their street clothes and also serves as a simple uniform. The garment is made from white or light-colored cotton, linen, or cotton polyester blend, allowing it to be washed at high temperature and making it easy to see if it is clean—materials like cotton are also generally more absorbent. Like the word "suit", the phrase "white coat" is sometimes used as a metonym to denote the wearer, such as a scientist working in a high-tech company.
		+
		+	Most white coats usually have long sleeves to provide further coverage against accidental spills, and some have buttons or elastic at the end to secure them around the wrist so that they do not hang into containers of chemicals or tip over lab equipment. Higher-quality coats use snap-on buttons that are easier to quickly undo in an emergency, making them more preferable for laboratory work.

-Early on, a lab coat can be helpful in gaining intrinsic poison resistance without suffering excessive stat loss, but poison-resistant characters may prefer a [[cloak of protection]] or a [[cloak of magic resistance]].  In SLASH'EM's late game, however, it becomes one of the best choices for a cloak: unlike in vanilla, SLASH'EM introduces some very powerful acidic monsters (such as the [[giant shoggoth]]), and acid resistance renders them considerably less dangerous.  Characters not needing to gain magic resistance through their cloak slot should strongly consider a lab coat, especially in light of the fact that one of the [[oilskin cloak]]'s main benefits - protection against [[drowning]] attacks - is largely superseded by the [[ring of free action]] in SLASH'EM.
