Tourist/dNetHack

In dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack, the Tourist is one of the roles from NetHack that is available to the hero.

Tourists can be humans or incantifiers, and always start as neutral.

Starting equipment

Each Tourist starts with the following equipment:

• 1-1000 gold pieces
• 21-40 +2 darts (quivered)
• a non-cursed +0 Hawaiian shirt
• a non-cursed +0 pair of Hawaiian shorts
• a non-cursed +0 pair of low boots
• 10-20 random comestibles
• 4 non-cursed scrolls of magic mapping
• 2 non-cursed potions of extra healing
• a non-cursed pair of sunglasses
• an uncursed expensive camera with 30-99 charges
• an uncursed credit card
• an uncursed leash
• an uncursed towel

Incantifier Tourists do not have their food items replaced with scrolls of food detection like incantifier heroes of other roles, which is done intentionally to maintain the role's difficulty for them.

The Tourist's default starting pet is a little dog or kitten with equal probability.

Intrinsics

Tourists gain the following intrinsic properties upon reaching the given experience levels:

• XL 10: Searching
• XL 20: Poison resistance

Special rules

Shopkeepers recognize Tourists that are below experience level 15 as suckers and charge them an extra ¹⁄₃ markup when buying, and only offer ¹⁄₃ the base price of sold items—this does not stack with the same extra markup for heroes that are wearing a visible Hawaiian shirt, T-shirt, pair of Hawaiian shorts, or a dunce cap.

Tourists have a -1 penalty to casting emergency spells.

Rank titles

The status line displays one of the following ranks for the corresponding experience levels:

• XL 1-2: Rambler

• XL 6-9: Excursionist
• XL 10-13: Peregrinator/Peregrinatrix
• XL 14-17: Traveler
• XL 18-21: Journeyer
• XL 22-25: Voyager
• XL 26-29: Explorer
• XL 30: Adventurer

Gods

The Tourist pantheon is based on the pantheon of the Discworld.

• Lawful: Blind Io
• Neutral: The Lady
• Chaotic: Offler

Quest

The Tourist's quest sees them fighting the Master of Thieves for The Platinum Yendorian Express Card, an artifact credit card. The Platinum Yendorian Express Card grants magic resistance, telepathy and half spell damage while carried. Invoking the Card can charge objects like a scroll of charging, with an effect partly dependent on the Card's beatitude: Tourists can invoke the blessed Platinum Yendorian Express Card to charge objects in the same way as a blessed scroll of charging, and otherwise the artifact only charges as an uncursed scroll does.
