    By the end of the description, I was sure I'd be reading "Aggravates creatures nearby," but no — got "grants telepathy" instead.

    Gonna have to keep using this set of randarts for a while…
    Oh you icky things, don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane…

        3.5.1. I tried 4.2.1 but it crashes on launch, probably because I'm running an old OS on my Mac (El Capitan, 10.11.6).

          holy cow, you are still Identifying items. Well, that's not the most impressive artifact i've seen then, if it's from the pre-fix days.

            The nightly builds of post 4.2.1 should fix that problem (crash with the crash reporter giving the reason as "dyld symbol not found: ___chkstk_darwin"). 4.2.0 (compiled on 10.14 rather than 10.15) reportedly runs on 10.11 so that's another option.

              Thanks - I'll give those a try soon.

                are you really going to skip entirely the masterpiece which is 4.1.3 ?

                    Thats a sweet ring - almost everything on it is useful. What race is your paladin ?

                      Dunadin, normally play those for the good starting stats.

                        Is that the best place to start in the 4.x game?

                          4.1 will feel familiar. 4.2 includes a major rewrite of spell sets and more powerful monsters, with 4 added classes. I'd have called it 5.0

                            Thanks for the info. Sounds like 4.1.x is the way I'll go.

                              a) the Blade of Chaos 'Feariona' (15d5) (+15,+15) [+10] <+2, +1>
                              Found lying on the floor in a vault at 4850 feet (level 97)

                              +2 intelligence.
                              +1 wisdom.
                              +1 attack speed.
                              +1 light.
                              Slays dragons (powerfully), undead, demons, giants, orcs.
                              Branded with weak fire.
                              Provides resistance to Cold, Chaos.
                              Cannot be harmed by Acid.
                              Prevents paralysis. Blessed by the gods (combat bonuses for holy
                              casters).

                              Combat info:
                              5.0 blows/round.
                              This weapon may benefit from one or more off-weapon brands or
                              slays.
                              Average damage/round: 1819.5 vs dragons and demons, 1252.5 vs
                              undead, demons, giants, and orcs, 969 vs evil creatures and
                              creatures not resistant to fire, and 685.5 vs. others.


                              This might be the best non-MoD randart weapon I have seen yet, found by a priest.

                                Now that is one wicked blade!
                                I don't remember this high damage on any melee weapon, certainly not with 5 attacks. Things like Scatha and Balrog of Moria get killed in two turns, if they are lucky.
