Extra Damage Die

[AceRimmer]

Just found a 2d9 Quarterstaff. Thought to myself (and I quote): "Woohoo! Artifact!"

Turned out not to be an artifact... just Slay Dragon (+5,+10).

I was just curious if this is a common event... or if it's not even supposed to happen.

I don't think there are odd-dice weapons in V...

There's all kinds of odd-number dice in FA and O, but I also don't remember seeing any in V.

I'm playing Vanilla 3.0.9b.

There is a chance during generation for extra dice. Weapons with better dice are guaranteed to be GOOD or better, but could be cursed artifacts. If you play with standard artifacts, and know which are not cursed, it is safe to wield such weapons.
