Generation
Gnomish heroes that are not Madpeople start each game with knowledge of the gnomish pointy hat. Gnomish Archeologists start with a gnomish pointy hat in place of the role's fedora, and gnomish heroes in other roles that are not Madpeople are given a gnomish pointy hat in addition to their starting inventory.
Gnomish pointy hats are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for or found in bones.
Live gnomes generated within the Gnomish Mines at level creation are always generated with gnomish pointy hats, which will be lit if they are generated on an unlit square, and the same applies for live gnomes generated outside of the Mines with a 1⁄6 chance.
For a gnomish Madperson, a +2 gnomish pointy hat can be found among their belongings in the Madman quest.
Description
While worn, a gnomish pointy hat grants no base AC or DR.
A gnomish pointy hat has a candle attached to it: a hero applying the gnomish pointy hat will light the candle, or else snuff the candle if it already lit, and a cursed gnomish pointy hat has a 1⁄2 chance of failing to light its candle when applied.
