[edit] To-hit Bonus
From the description on this page, I can't figure out if the to-hit bonus (+2) only applies when thrown, or also in melee. Which is it? -Beefnut 02:58, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Erosion of wooden daggers
I seem to recall that even though elven daggers are technically prone to erosion, most sources of burning/rotting don't affect weapons. Thus, except in a few very unusual circumstances, elven daggers are effectively erodeproof. Can someone confirm this? -- Killian 02:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- I have not confirmed it, but from tests in wizard mode it seems probable. I could not rot an elven dagger by hitting brown puddings, though I could corrode an orcish dagger by hitting black puddings. I could not burn an elven dagger with a fire trap nor a wand of fire. In frustration I had a thoroughly burnt, thoroughly rotted elven cloak and two undamaged elven daggers. --Kernigh 04:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is it just me...
...or have daggers become much, much weaker in SLASH'EM?
[edit] 6d6 or 1d6?
It says the daggers are randomly generated in stacks of 6d6, which would mean there would always be a minimum of 6, and as many as 36... I typically find 5 or less at a time so I imagine it is really 1d6? arrows and darts on the other hand... MysterX 09:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
User:cph - I agree, in fact I think they are only generated 1 at a time in the dungeon - it's monsters (gnomes mainly) where you get more than 1. Source code seems to agree:
#define is_multigen(otmp) (otmp->oclass == WEAPON_CLASS && \
objects[otmp->otyp].oc_skill >= -P_SHURIKEN && \
objects[otmp->otyp].oc_skill <= -P_BOW)
#define P_BOW 22 #define P_SLING 23 #define P_CROSSBOW 24 #define P_DART 25 #define P_SHURIKEN 26
Anyone disagree?
[edit] Training daggers by throwing
Does throwing daggers at monsters train the dagger skill in the same way that meleeing does? Skelwing 04:09, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, and it is the safest (read: recommended) way to do so. However, it feels more cumbersome because you have to run after all those daggers before you can train again. Tjr 11:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
