A dwarvish short sword is a type of weapon that appears in NetHack. It is made of iron and uses the short sword skill, and appears as a broad short sword when unidentified.
Contents
Generation
Player dwarves start the game with knowledge of the dwarvish short sword.[1] 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.[2]
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.[3] Player monsters, including those on the Astral Plane, have a chance lower than 1% of generating with a dwarvish short sword as their initial weapon before role-based replacements.[4]
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.
Variants
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, upgrading a dwarvish short sword will produce either an elven short sword or a dark elven short sword with an equal probability of each. Upgrading a short sword, elven short sword or dark elven short sword will produce a dwarvish short sword.
dNetHack
In dNetHack, a dwarvish short sword deals d8 damage to small monsters and d7 damage to large monsters, and its weight is increased to 35 aum.
EvilHack
In EvilHack, a dwarvish short sword can be created at a forge by combining a short sword and a dwarvish spear. Dwarvish short swords can be used at a forge to make a few items:
- A dwarvish short sword can be combined with an axe to create a dwarvish bearded axe.
- A dwarvish short sword can be combined with a pick-axe to create a dwarvish mattock.
- A dwarvish short sword can be combined with a helmet to create a dwarvish helm.
- A dwarvish short sword can be combined with a pair of gauntlets to create a pair of dwarvish boots.
Hack'EM
In Hack'EM, upgrading a dwarvish short sword will produce an orcish short sword, and upgrading an elven short sword will produce a dwarvish short sword. Forging recipes are the same as in EvilHack.
