Does Snickersnee resists drain life? I can't lower its enchantment with the drain life spell. If so maybe it should be added to the article. --62.57.95.99 23:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Snickersnee does not specifically resist draining, but as an artifact it has a 90% chance of resisting drain, rather than the 10% chance most items have (zap.c, line 922). If you keep trying, it should work eventually. -- Killian 01:46, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
