memorable randarts

[Timo Pietilä]

Last game with randarts on was generated this toy:

The Mace of Disruption of Silwe (8d8) (+13,+29) [+21] <+3>

+3 to dexterity, constitution, speed
branded with weak frost
slays evil, trolls, giants
*slays* dragons, undead
sustains strength, intelligence
provides immunity to fire
provides resistance to electricity, light, dark
provides protection from blindness, confusion
makes you fall like a feather
grants the ability to see invisible things
prevents paralysis
aggravates nearby creatures

Time to splatter endgame uniques!

Bah. That doesn't slay demons or have extra blows. ;-)

Seriously though, I have seen standard ego Mace of Disruption of Fury (5d8) (~+15,~+25) (+2) which was pretty insane against undead and made even without slays extremely high damage (dwarf priest, so blows got from four to six).

While this randart is extremely good weapon it isn't unbalanced because of the extreme rarity, but weapons of Fury can be rather insane (they have +20 to dam base according to ego-items.txt), and they are nowhere near as rare as this kind of randarts.

Or should I say "were insane". 3.4 has tval/sval values commented out which I think means that Fury is already removed.

That looks awfully similar to Deathwreaker damage-wise. I'm guessing you get well over 1k damage/round against undead. Sheesh!

It's significantly better than deathwreaker. 8d8 vs 7d8, and +29 damage vs +18. pconf and pblind are an upgrade over rdisen as well. It's far better than any standard artifact.

Randarts like that don't show up often, and when they do they have crazy high rarities. When you finish, please generate the artifact spoiler so we can see what it was based off of.

What's funny is I often whine about how annoying the late-game uniques are. They have so many hitpoints and do so much damage. But, then you find something like deathwreaker and you essentially just walk through them.

I don't see it in 3.3.2. The description ends after the part about how many turns it will take to cut through rubble, magma, etc.

Oh, sorry. This must be a 3.4-dev feature. My bad.

It's in the description text, shown on the 'I'nspect screen. It doesn't get printed in dumps.

It's similar, but Thunderfist doesn't have all those *slays*, does it? I know there was a version of vanilla at some point that listed the basis for each randart -- don't know what happened to it, but I thought that was cool. Maybe it's a user option and I just missed it.

This showed up in Competition 119. Glad it activates for enchant armor; would have been almost useless otherwise.

Slows your metabolism. Feather Falling. Grants the ability to
see invisible things.

Nice shield for my 3.3.2 priest:

(+0,+4) [12,+11]
+3 int, wis
causes melee attacts to *slay* demons
immunity to cold
res lightning

Activate for berserk rage, bless, and resistance

This one just showed up in the game that's being used in Comp 119:

The Dagger 'Halebrim' (11d4) (+6, +14) [+9] <+2>
+2 DEX
Slays undead
Provides resistance to acid, cold, sound
Grants the ability to see invisible things

An 11d4 dagger! And, of course, the character in the comp is a priest.

That Lostolwe guy never existed and the weapon is a fake.

congratulations! you found the cheap plastic imitation of the axe of Thorin
edit: rebranded as Lostolwe for copyright reasons

[Estie]

Actually this all sounds more like the alliteration of a mediocre poet: Lostolwes Lochaberaxe....
