{{EvilHack roles}}
In [[EvilHack]], the '''Tourist''' is one of the [[role]]s from ''[[NetHack]]'' that is available to the [[hero]].

Tourists can be played as [[Human (starting race)|humans]], [[Gnome (starting race)|gnomes]], [[Hobbit (starting race)#EvilHack|hobbits]], or [[Tortle (starting race)|tortles]], and always start as [[neutral]].

==Starting equipment==
Each Tourist starts with the following equipment:

* 1-1000 [[gold]] pieces
* 21-40 +2 [[dart]]s (quivered)
* a single piece of [[worn]] [[armor]]:
** a +0 [[toque]] if the hero is a tortle; otherwise
** a +0 [[Hawaiian shirt]]
* 10-20 random [[comestibles]]
* 4 non-cursed [[scrolls of magic mapping]]
* 2 non-cursed [[potions of extra healing]]
* an uncursed [[expensive camera]] with 30-99 charges
* an uncursed [[credit card]]
* a chance of one of the following uncursed [[tool]]s:
** a {{frac|25}} chance of a [[tin opener]] (4%, [[wielded]]); otherwise
** a {{frac|25}} chance of a [[leash]] (effective 3.84% chance or {{frac|24|625}}); otherwise
** a {{frac|25}} chance of a [[towel]] (effective ~3.85% chance or {{frac|601|15625}})

The Tourist's default starting [[pet]] is a [[little dog]] or [[kitten]] with equal probability.

==Intrinsics==
Tourists gain the following intrinsic [[properties]] upon reaching the given [[experience level]]s:

*XL 10: [[Searching]]
*XL 20: [[Poison resistance]]

==Attributes==
The Tourist's starting [[attribute]]s are distributed as follows:

{| class="prettytable"
!| Attributes || [[Strength]] || [[Dexterity]] || [[Constitution]] ||[[Intelligence]] || [[Wisdom]] || [[Charisma]] || Remaining
|-
| Minimum attributes || 7 || 7 || 7 || 10 || 6 || 10 || 28
|-
| Distribution percentages || 15% || 15% || 30% || 10% || 10% || 20% ||
|-
| Mean w/ standard deviation (human) || 11.60±1.99 || 11.31±1.94 || 15.28±2.10 || 12.89±1.65 || 8.89±1.66 || 15.29±1.86
|}

The means and standard deviations were calculated via simulation, whose source code can be found on [[Talk:Role#Initial attribute simulation code|the role article's talk page]], and assumes that all given roles are played as humans.

==Skills==
Tourists have the following [[skill]]s available to them:

{| class="prettytable"
! colspan="2" style="font-size:larger" | Wizard skills
|-
! Max !! [[Skill]]s
|-
| Basic
|
* ''Weapons:'' [[axe]], [[pick-axe]], [[broadsword]], [[long sword]], [[two-handed sword]], [[mace]], [[flail]], [[hammer]], [[quarterstaff]], [[polearms]], [[spear]], [[trident]], [[lance]], [[bow]], [[sling]], [[crossbow]], [[shuriken]], [[boomerang]], [[whip]]
* ''Combat:'' [[riding]], [[Shield (skill)#EvilHack|shields]]
* ''Spells:'' [[Divination spells|divination]], [[Enchantment spells|enchantment]]
|-
| Skilled
|
* ''Weapons:'' [[saber]], [[unicorn horn]]
* ''Combat:'' [[bare hands]], [[two weapon combat]]
* ''Spells:'' [[Escape spells|escape]]
|-
| Expert
|
* ''Weapons:'' [[dart]], [[dagger]], [[short sword]]
|}

Tourists start with ''Basic'' skill in darts and no other weapon skills. They use the [[intelligence]] stat to cast spells, and their special spell is {{+ of|charm monster}}.

==Special rules==
[[Shopkeeper]]s recognize Tourists that are below experience level 15 as suckers and charge them an extra {{frac|3}} markup when buying, and only offer {{frac|3}} the base price of sold items—this does not stack with the same extra markup for heroes that are wearing a visible [[shirt]] or [[dunce cap]].

Tourists have a -1 penalty to casting [[emergency spell]]s.

Tourists only gain a [[multishot]] bonus from training darts to Skilled level, though they do gain normal multishot bonuses for any projectiles trained to Expert skill (i.e. darts, [[knives]] and daggers).

==Rank titles==
The [[status line]] displays one of the following ranks for the corresponding experience levels:

*XL 1-2: Rambler
*XL 3-5: Sightseer
*XL 6-9: Excursionist
*XL 10-13: Peregrinator/Peregrinatrix
*XL 14-17: Traveler
*XL 18-21: Journeyer
*XL 22-25: Voyager
*XL 26-29: Explorer
*XL 30: Adventurer

==Gods==
{{main|Religion}}
The Tourist pantheon is based on the pantheon of the [[Wikipedia:Discworld (world)|Discworld]].

* Lawful: [[Blind Io]]
* Neutral: [[The Lady]]
* Chaotic: [[Offler]]

==Quest==
{{main|Tourist quest}}
The Tourist's quest sees them fighting the [[Master of Thieves]] for [[The Platinum Yendorian Express Card]], an artifact credit card. The Platinum Yendorian Express Card grants [[magic resistance]], [[telepathy]] and [[half spell damage]] while carried. [[Invoking]] the Card can charge objects like a scroll of charging, with an effect partly dependent on the Card's beatitude: Tourists can invoke the blessed Platinum Yendorian Express Card to charge objects in the same way as a blessed scroll of charging, and otherwise the artifact only charges as an uncursed scroll does.

==Strategy==
