The Sceptre of Might is the caveman quest artifact. It is lawful for wishing purposes. Its base item type is a mace.
When carried, the Sceptre confers magic resistance. When wielded, you get +d5 to hit and deal double damage against monsters with alignment different than the Sceptre. Invoking the Sceptre toggles conflict on or off. Conflict confered by the Sceptre does not cause the usual hunger.
The slotless magic resistance and toggleable conflict make the Sceptre a great wish for lawful non-Cavemen, especially in the early game.
SLASH'EM
The Sceptre of Might does significantly less damage in Slash'EM. Its to-hit bonus has been reduced to a set +3, and it does an additional 5 points of damage versus cross-aligned creatures instead of double damage.[1]
Encyclopedia entry
This mace was created aeons ago in some unknown cave, and has been passed down from generation to generation of cave dwellers. It is a very mighty mace indeed, and in addition will protect anyone who carries it from magic missile attacks. When invoked, it causes conflict in the area around it.
