Scissors are a type of tool that appears in NetHack brass.
Generation
Scissors are generated 25% blessed, 50% uncursed, and 25% cursed.
In addition to random generation, general shops and hardware stores can sell scissors.
Description
Applying a pair of scissors allows you to cut a cloth item up, destroying it and potentially producing a number of bandages depending on the item chosen:
Item | Amount (before adjustments) |
---|---|
mummy wrapping | 1 bandage |
kitchen apron, frilled apron | 3 bandages |
towel, T-shirt, Hawaiian shirt | 5 bandages |
nurse uniform | 7 bandages |
other cloth items | weight divided by 4 |
A Healer or any female character wearing a nurse cap or nurse uniform can reliably produce the amount of bandages shown above - other characters will produce any number of bandages between 0 and the aforementioned "cap" for that item, with a penalty to the amount of bandages made for using a cursed pair of scissors, as well as a penalty for having less than 18 dexterity. If the result would be 0 bandages or less, the cloth item is destroyed without yielding any.
The new bandages inherit their beatitude from both the scissors and the cloth item that you cut, similar to a magic marker:[1]
Scissors | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Blessed | Uncursed | Cursed | ||
Cloth item | Blessed | Blessed | Blessed | Uncursed |
Uncursed | Blessed | Uncursed | Cursed | |
Cursed | Uncursed | Cursed | Cursed |
Cutting existing bandages will destroy them. You cannot use scissors to cut an item you are wearing, and scissors cannot cut up any other material.
