The Ruinous Descent of Stars is an artifact weapon that appears in dNetHack and notdNetHack. It is an intelligent artifact that is chaotic and drow-favoring, and its base item is a morning star made of silvered metal.

Generation

The Ruinous Descent of Stars is the chaotic crowning gift for male drow Nobles and drow Healers.

Description

The Ruinous Descent of Stars has +1 to-hit and deals double damage, and always gains double the strength bonus for damage as if it were a two-handed weapon (e.g., up to +16 at 25 strength, instead of +8). While carried, The Ruinous Descent of Stars grants magic resistance.

The Ruinous Descent of Stars has several effects related to sanity and insight:

  • At less than 100 sanity, The Ruinous Descent of Stars deals extra acid damage equal to 2d(sanity lost / 4), with a cap of 2d12 at 52 sanity or less; with clear thoughts, this is reduced to +1d12.
  • At 6+ insight, The Ruinous Descent of Stars deals +1d6 fire damage for every 6 insight, up to +6d6 fire damage at 36+ insight.
  • At 42+ insight, The Ruinous Descent of Stars may summon falling stars on a hit that are centered on a singular random point somewhere on the level - the falling stars cause up to 6 physical-damage explosions & 6 fiery explosions that deal 6d6 damage each. The odds and maximum number of explosions rises with insight, always triggering and causing up to 7 explosions at 72+ insight 72+.

Invoking The Ruinous Descent of Stars causes up to 1d4 (1d(level⁄10 + 1)) clusters of fiery explosions and earthquakes at random places on the current level.
