The expensive suit is a type of shirt that appears in SlashTHEM, and is carried over from NetHack-- 3.0.10.

The Gambler's Suit is an artifact expensive suit.

Generation

The Undertaker starts each game with an expensive suit.

Description

When worn, the expensive suit confers 0 base AC, MC2 and a +2 bonus to the wearer's charisma.

Strategy

The expensive suit is generally one of the better choices for the shirt slot, especially due to the price reductions conferred by the charisma boosts versus the T-shirt and Hawaiian shirt. Though considered one of the best shirts in the game, whether the suit is better than Victorian underwear depends on the player's circumstances: Victorian underwear grants MC 3 at the cost of a penalty to AC, which may be more attractive to a character with no available source of MC3, whether due to armor limitations (e.g. Monks, Jedi or spellcasting roles who do not want to wear a mithril-coat and desire a cloak other than the cloak of protection or magic resistance) or bad luck in finding any sources.
