New page

By pressing [[r|'''[r]''']] you can '''read''' something.

[[NetHack]] allows [[you]] to read [[object]]s in your [[inventory]]:
* [[fortune cookie]]s, to read the fortune without eating the cookie.
* [[T-shirt]]s, to examine the message on each shirt.
* [[scroll]]s, to activate them.
* [[spellbook]]s, to study them.<ref>[[read.c]]</ref>

You can try unsuccessfully to read other classes of objects.

In vanilla NetHack, you automatically read any [[floor engraving]]s or [[headstone]]s that you encounter. This does not use the '''[r]''' command, nor does it break illiterate [[conduct]]. (Though the ''read'' command does not break the conduct, the ''[[engrave]]'' command does.)

== NetHack brass ==
In [[NetHack brass]], you automatically read any floor engravings, but not headstones.<ref>NetHack brass 040923, engrave.c#line212</ref> To read headstones, press '''[r]''' and then answer '''[y]''' to the question, ''"Do you want to read an epitaph on the grave?"'' In brass 040923, reading the epitaph does not break illiterate conduct.

== SLASH'EM ==
[[SLASH'EM]] requires you to explicitly read floor engravings and headstones, using the '''[r]''' command. Doing so breaks the illiterate conduct.<ref>[[SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2/engrave.c#line372]]</ref>

By pressing '''[r]''' then '''[,]''', you can read objects that are on the floor, rather than your inventory. (Thus, if you need to flee now and you have no empty inventory slots, but luckily found a [[scroll of teleportation]] on the floor, SLASH'EM lets you activate it!)

SLASH'EM lets you "read" [[ring]]s. This is a feature to check the color of rings that you are currently wearing, otherwise ''"You can't see it!"'' or ''"Perhaps you should put it on first."'' Currently, only a [[mood ring]] will glow with color; any other ring gives the message, ''"There seems to be nothing special about this ring."''<ref>[[SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2/read.c#line80]]</ref>
