The T.o.M.E. Screenshots Gallery: Sting by <greg@wooledge.org>


In your pack: The Small Sword 'Sting' (E:10, L:1) (1d6) (+7,+8) (+2 to speed) (u).                       
Swords are melee weapons.                                                                                
It's the favourite weapon of strong mages and thieves. The blade is about twenty inches long. It's very  
easy to handle, although it is a lot less efficient than the longer and heavier designs.                 
"I will give you a name, and I shall call you Sting."  The perfect size for Bilbo, and stamped forever   
by the courage he found in Mirkwood, this sturdy little blade grants the wearer combat prowess and       
survival abilities they did not know they had.                                                           
It is from a group of Elven items once entrusted to Hobbits                                              
It is sentient.  It provides light (radius 1) forever.  It increases your strength, dexterity,           
constitution, speed and attack speed by 2.  It is especially deadly against orcs.  It strikes at undead  
with holy wrath.  It fights against evil with holy fury.  It is especially deadly against natural        
creatures.  It provides immunity to paralysis.  It provides resistance to light and confusion.  It       
allows you to see invisible monsters.  It allows you to sense the presence of orcs, spiders and undead.  
It cannot be harmed by acid, cold, lightning or fire.                                                    
Using it you would have 7 blows and do an average damage per turn of 371 against animals, 371 against    
evil creatures, 395.5 against orcs, 395.5 against undead, 346.5 against other monsters.                  
You found it lying in a vault on level 30 of The Sandworm lair.

Congrats! It's also one of my favorite weapons in ToME. Remember to enchant it up to at least (+11, +11) more maximum Lvl 50 power!

I didn't have the patience to scum for enchant scrolls before wielding it. (I read one enchant to-hit but it failed.) This was supposed to be a quick throw-away character for testing Neil's most recent change, but... Sting changes that. I also got the Vampiric flag on it. (And random teleportation, but that's manageable as long as it's not cursed.)

I got earthquake as one of the early bonuses on my Sting, what a waste of a good weapon that was *cry*
