-The '''striped shirt''' is a type of [[shirt]] added in the [[Convict|Convict Patch]], and found in all variants that include the Convict role: [[UnNetHack]], [[DynaHack]], [[dNetHack]], and [[SlashTHEM]].  Convicts begin the game wearing a [[cursed]] striped shirt as a prison uniform.
+A '''striped shirt''' is a type of [[shirt]] that appears as part of the [[Convict]] patch incorporated in [[UnNetHack]], [[DynaHack]], [[dNetHack]], [[SpliceHack]], [[notdNetHack]], [[EvilHack]], [[SlashTHEM]], and [[Hack'EM]]. It is made of [[cloth]].
-As a part of the Convict's armor ensemble, the striped shirt is equivalent to the existing [[shirt]]s, the T-shirt and Hawaiian shirt.  It has a base [[AC|armor count]] value of 0 (but will contribute its enchantment value to the wearer's AC total) and can be worn under regular [[body armor|torso armor]].
+In EvilHack, the striped shirt is the [[base item]] for the Striped Shirt of Liberation.
-What makes this shirt different from the others is that if a [[shopkeeper]] sees you wearing an uncovered striped shirt, (s)he will conclude that you are a fugitive from the law and will not merely hike up prices, as with the other shirts, but will actually stand in the doorway of the establishment, blocking entry: "I don't serve your kind here."
+==Generation==
-This will only happen if there is a worn, uncovered striped shirt.  Shopkeepers will not notice shirts under torso armor or a cloak, and they will not object if a scruffy visitor tries to sell them something that looks suspiciously like a discarded prison uniform.  However, shopkeepers who have seen a customer in stripes ''even once'' will remember the sight and continue to refuse access, even after the customer removes the shirt or covers it up.

The easiest temporary solution is to put on any (ideally non-cursed) torso armor or cloak you find, until you find a permanent solution.  Shopkeepers will not notice a striped shirt under torso armor or a cloak&mdash;but be careful not to remove the covering garment in front of them.  Take care not to change your clothes inside or within sight of a store.

-* '''Uncurse it.'''  Possibly the most ideal option, as the non-cursed shirt can be just as useful as other [[shirt]]s if worn discreetly.  When you find a non-cursed scroll that might be [[scroll of remove curse|remove curse]] or [[scroll of enchant armor|enchant armor]], strip down to your shirt and read it.  If you satisfy your deity early enough, (s)he might uncurse the clothing as a [[favor]], or provide some [[holy water]] that can be used to uncurse it.  In a pinch, you can try [[dip]]ping the shirt repeatedly into a [[fountain]], but this is probably risky behavior for a beginner.

-* '''Destroy it.''' This is one scenario where the otherwise despised [[scroll of destroy armor]] comes in handy.  Strip down to your shirt and read the scroll.  Even reading an unidentified scroll may be worthwhile, in the event that it turns out to be remove curse or enchant armor.  Alternately, a [[black dragon|black/disintegration dragon]] might helpfully reduce the shirt to dust for you, but by the time you are seeing black dragons and are [[Resistances|able to survive]] their breath, you will most likely have solved the shirt problem already.
+* A source of [[polymorph]] can turn you into a monster that will either shrink you out of the shirt or else rip it apart, but can also turn you into a form that is weak, immobile or otherwise incapable of carrying items.

-* '''Give it to a nymph.'''  Fortunately, [[nymph]]s will take striped shirts just as readily as they will other cursed equipment.  (They might even help with the [[punishment|ball and chain]], too.)  Unfortunately, they are likely to take other things in the same encounter.
