Robe (SLASH'EM)
A robe is a form of armor that appears in SLASH'EM, SlashTHEM and Hack'EM, and is based directly on their predecessors in the ancestor variant NetHack Plus. These robes are body armor, as opposed to the robe that occupies the cloak slot in vanilla NetHack.
Description
There are four different type of robe, with randomized appearances for each:
Hack'EM adds the large robe, which does not have a randomized appearance.
Strategy
All body armor robes are lighter than leather armor and do not interfere with spellcasting in these variants, unlike most other body armor save for the crystal plate mail. Robes also preserve a Monk's melee and AC bonuses while worn, though they negate the AC bonuses specific to doppelganger characters.
Encyclopedia entry
Robes are the only garments, apart from Shirts, ever to have sleeves. They have three uses:
1. As the official uniform of Priests, Priestesses, Monks, Nuns (see Nunnery), and Wizards. The OMT [ Official Management Term ] prescribed for the Robes of Priests and Nuns is that they _fall in severe folds_; of Priestesses that they _float_; and of Wizards that they _swirl_. You can thus see who you are dealing with.
2. For Kings. The OMT here is _falling in stately folds_.
3. As the garb of Desert Nomads. [...]
