Appearance T-shirt
Slot shirt
AC 0
Special
Base price 2 zm
Weight 5
Material cloth

A T-shirt is a type of shirt that appears in NetHack. It is made of cloth, and is nearly identical to the Hawaiian shirt.

Generation

The T-shirt makes up 0.2% of all randomly generated armor.

Description

While worn, a T-shirt provides no base AC.

T-shirts can be read, which breaks the illiterate conduct and displays a message describing the text on the shirt[1] - this message is dependent on the item's object ID, so it will remain consistent for any one T-shirt, and the text will be degraded if the shirt is eroded.[2]

Entering a shop with a visible worn T-shirt will cause the shopkeeper to charge an extra 1⁄3 markup and buy things for 1⁄3 of the base price.

T-shirt texts

The possible messages are:[3]

  • "I explored the Dungeons of Doom and all I got was this lousy T-shirt!"
  • "Is that Mjollnir in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
  • "It's not the size of your sword, it's how #enhance’d you are with it."

Strategy

Like the Hawaiian shirt, T-shirts are generally employed to enchant as an additional source of AC, but are best reserved until after a character obtains protection from polymorph traps - worn torso armor will be destroyed if they polymorph into a large form. In the early game, scrolls of enchant armor may be best reserved for other armor such as a helm, boots or gloves. T-shirts are typically most worth enchanting once a character has magic resistance, as well as solid enough enchantment on their other armor. An enchanted T-shirt may also be wished for in order to top off an otherwise-complete ascension kit.

For characters not averse to polypiling, shirts are fairly easy to obtain with a wand of polymorph (or the polymorph spell for powerful enough casters) and a large pile of armor, which is most easily obtained in the Castle or Fort Ludios. The Castle's armor storeroom in particular has a 13.13% chance of containing either a Hawaiian shirt or a T-shirt. The random general store items in Orcus Town may also have a T-shirt among them.

History

The T-shirt first appears in NetHack 3.2.0, where it generates if the TOURIST compile-time option is defined. From this version to NetHack 3.3.1, there are only three possible T-shirt messages:[4]

"I explored the Dungeons of Doom, but all I got was this lousy T-shirt"
The normal T-shirt message.
"I explored the Dungeons of Doom, and never did any laundry..."
You are hallucinating and currently wearing the T-shirt.
"I explored the Dungeons of Doom, and couldn't find my way out"
As above, but you are not currently wearing the T-shirt.

Many extra T-shirt messages are added in NetHack 3.4.0 from a patch by Scott Bigham, and several more are introduced in NetHack 3.6.0 and NetHack 3.6.1.

Variants

dNetHack

In dNetHack, the Tie-Dye Shirt of Shambhala is an unaligned artifact T-shirt that can be enchanted to +7, and alters carrying capacity while worn: it confers a 1⁄2 increase while blessed, a 1⁄4 increase while uncursed, and a 1⁄4 penalty while cursed. The shirt also enhances charisma if worn without body armor and enhances wisdom if worn with it, and can be read to cure status properties like a unicorn horn if not covered by non-crystal body armor. Invoking the Tie-Dye Shirt confers enlightenment.

The November NetHack Tournament

In The November NetHack Tournament, the reward for completing the DevTeam Office quest is the Really Cool Shirt, an artifact T-shirt that acts as a luck item while carried and provides warning while worn. Reading the Really Cool Shirt has a 49⁄50 chance of producing a random rumor according to its beatitude: true only if blessed, false only if cursed, or either if uncursed. Due to its generation method, it will revert to a normal T-shirt if left in a bones file.

The deathmatch opponent will have a blessed +4 or +5 erodeproof T-shirt if they represent a non-Tourist character that did not have a worn shirt.

EvilHack

In EvilHack, T-shirts can be made of other materials such as leather, which provides some base AC and may make them more valuable to wear early on. T-shirt wishes are just as popular as in NetHack if not more so: object materials and properties make the shirt slot valuable for non-giant characters. An example of such a wish is "blessed greased fixed +3 dragonhide T-shirt of decay" (which provides drain resistance).
