A '''pair of sunglasses''', or simply '''sunglasses''', is a type of [[tool]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. It is made of [[glass]], and appears as a pair of '''mirrored lenses''' when [[Identification|unidentified]].

==Generation==
All [[Tourist/dNetHack|Tourists]] start the game with an uncursed pair of sunglasses.

Pairs of sunglasses are not randomly generated, though they can be [[wish]]ed for or found in [[bones]].

==Description==
A [[hero]] can use a pair of sunglasses by [[applying]] them, and can also [[put on]] or [[remove]] sunglasses manually using those commands. Sunglasses are [[worn]] on the face, and cannot be worn at the same time as other facewear, e.g. a [[blindfold]], a [[towel]] or a [[pair of lenses]]. [[Monster]]s will not use this item.

While worn, a pair of glasses has a few effects:

* Worn sunglasses provide [[blindness resistance]].
* They ''decrease'' the hero's chances of successfully reading a [[spellbook]] by 10%, the opposite of a worn pair of lenses.

 Sunglasses are [[fragile]] and will break if they are [[thrown]] or dropped from a great enough height (e.g. while [[levitating]]), and a {{+ of|force bolt}} spell or a [[zapped]] [[wand of striking]] will destroy any sunglasses in the path of the [[beam]].
