View source for Hash mark

{{ASCII}}
In ''[[NetHack]]'', the '''hash mark''' ('''#''') serves the following purposes:

* Press {{kbd|#}} to enter a specific [[extended command]]. Note that "#" cannot be the first character of the name of any [[NetHackWiki]] article, requiring it to be omitted from the title of extended command articles.
* On the [[skill]] screen, <tt>#</tt> denotes a skill that cannot be #[[enhance]]d any further.
* {{white|#}} can represent one of many [[dungeon feature]]s:
** {{lightgray|#}} {{white|#}} [[corridor]]
** {{green|#}} [[tree]]
** {{lightgray|#}} [[cloud]]
** {{brightgreen|#}} [[poison cloud]]
** {{lightgray|#}} [[sink]]
** {{cyan|#}} [[iron bars]]
* In the [[inventory]], {{white|#}} is used as an overflow character for items that are picked up when every other inventory letter is in use - in practice, this typically occurs with a picked-up [[loadstone]], which ignores the inventory letter limit that would prevent you picking up most additional items. Boulders picked up while in the form of a [[giant]] or [[titan]] are also given hash mark slots in the inventory if all other letters are in use.

==Variants==
===dNetHack===
In [[dNetHack]], [[Tobiume]] is capable of stealing weapons from monsters and adding them to your inventory: if all other inventory letters are in use, these weapons are given {{white|#}} slots as normal.

===SlashTHEM===
In [[SlashTHEM]], your [[wallet]] uses a lettered inventory slot like other items, including using {{white|#}} in the absence of any available inventory letters.
