New memorable randarts

[ranger jeff]

not good, but memorable...

playing the npp comp just now, on the floor at 1050', 2d5 longsword branded with acid, that's it, no rAcid, lol! worst randart ever?

[Carnivean]

Not Clear Mind, Second Sight maybe? Although if it also cures blindness I've never noticed.

Yes, got the wrong one. It does clear blindness.

Now that's just confusing...

the Elven Cloak 'Essilindo' (+0,+8) [6,+16] <+2>

Shouldnt the artifact have the base item properties ? Elven cloaks get +1 speed, how come this artifact doesnt have that.

It probably should. I probably won't be chasing down minor randart bugs like this pre-4.1, because there will be considerable changes to the randart code anyway, and a whole fresh batch of bugs to fix.

[MattB]

This one's a bit odd...

the Long Bow of Hunen (x3) (-7,-12) <-3>
----------------------------------------
Heavily cursed.
-3 shooting power.
Provides resistance to lightning.
Cannot be harmed by acid, fire.
Speeds regeneration.

Provides regen and one of the tougher base resists to arrange? That's an amazing artifact. Especially compared to Camlost.

Not really, but its not inconceivable that it would be used. For example, a level 30 mage might want regen and has no better use for the launcher slot.

[MattB]

Not really what I meant. It's (x3), but has -3 Shooting Power...

[Timo Pietilä]

I wonder if arrows from that make any damage at all. Multiplies damage by zero. Is multiplier one minimum or can that actually negate whole damage.

[MattB]

And what happens if it goes negative?...

[Carnivean]

And what happens if it goes negative?...

They heal the monster obviously...

[MattB]

They heal the monster obviously...

It could harm @ instead?

[Carnivean]

It could harm @ instead?

If @ could target themselves would they hurt or harm?
