Generation
Player dwarves start the game with knowledge of the dwarvish short sword. Any dwarven character that would start the game with a short sword will start with a dwarvish short sword instead - currently, there are no applicable roles where this substitution would occur.[1]
Dwarvish short swords make up about 0.2% of randomly generated weapons. In addition to random generation, weapon shops and general stores can stock dwarvish short swords.
Live dwarves have a 1⁄4 chance of being generated with a dwarvish short sword.[2]
Strategy
The dwarvish short sword is a good early-game weapon for roles capable of training the skill, and can even serve as a decent off-hand weapon when twoweaponing.
History
The dwarvish short sword first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
