A pill is an item introduced in SLASH'EM. It can refer to white pills, which are only found inside medical kits, or to pink pills which are found on their own.
When a pink pill is eaten, it will have one of seven equally likely effects ("You swallow the little pink pill."):
| Effect | Message |
|---|---|
| You get a wish. | "The pink sugar coating hid a silver wishing pill! You may wish for an object." |
| You gain 600 points of nutrition. | "That tasted like vitamins" |
| You become very fast for 200–209 turns. | "Wow... everything is moving in slow motion..." |
| You are poisoned; you lose 1–4 points of strength and 1–15 hit points. | "You feel your stomach twinge." |
| You fall asleep for up to 49 turns. | "You feel drowsy..." |
| You hallucinate for 150 (more) turns. | "Oh wow! Look at the lights!" |
| You are stunned for 30 (more) turns. | "Everything begins to get blurry." |
The four negative effects may be resisted, or fixed with a unicorn horn, making pills a safe, albeit unlikely, way of getting a wish. If any of the negative effects are resisted, you will get the message "Hmm. Nothing happens."
You may suffer the ill effects of rotten food, including passing out. Thus it is best to eat your pills in a safe place while not satiated or starving.
SpliceHack
Early versions of SpliceHack had pink pills which were mostly the same as in SLASH'EM, but did not grant wishes. The other six outcomes remained equally likely. They were removed on or before SpliceHack 1.0.0, becoming a defunct feature.
Hack'EM
Pills also appear in Hack'EM with a few tweaks.
- If the 1 in 7 chance for a wish is hit, there is a further roll of 1 in (25 - luck) required to attain the wish.
- The case where it ("tastes like vitamins") now only gives 80 nutrition, but also grants gain ability (just like fountains, with a blessed effect if the player has high luck)
- Pills always cure larval infection no matter what effect they roll.
