+A '''robe''' is a form of [[armor]] that appears in [[SLASH'EM]], [[SlashTHEM]] and [[Hack'EM]], and is based directly on their predecessors in the ancestor variant [[NetHack Plus]]. These robes are body armor, as opposed to the [[robe]] that occupies the cloak slot in vanilla ''[[NetHack]]''.
-A '''robe''' is a type of [[body armor]] that appears in [[SLASH'EM]], [[SlashTHEM]] and [[Hack'EM]]. It is made of [[leather]], and has the [[randomized appearance]] of a "colored robe" when unidentified.
+==Description==
+There are four different type of robe, with randomized appearances for each:
-* [[#Description|robe]]
+* [[Robe (SLASH'EM item)|robe]]
 * [[robe of power]]
 * [[robe of weakness]]
 * [[robe of protection]]
-==Generation==
+Hack'EM adds the [[large robe]], which does not have a randomized appearance.
 ==Strategy==
-Body armor robes are lighter than [[leather armor]] and do not interfere with spellcasting or a Monk's melee abilities and AC bonuses, though it will negate the AC bonuses specific to [[Doppelganger (starting race)|doppelganger]] characters. They can be trivially distinguished via [[price identification]] due to their base cost of 25[[zm]] (where all other robes have a base cost of 50), and are much more common compared to other robes.
+All body armor robes are lighter than [[leather armor]] and do not interfere with spellcasting in these variants, unlike most other body armor save for the [[crystal plate mail]]. Robes also preserve a Monk's melee and AC bonuses while worn, though they negate the AC bonuses specific to [[Doppelganger (starting race)|doppelganger]] characters.
