Be sure to sign your edits with four tildes ~~~~ --&gt;<br /> <br /> Hey guys, some new ideas:<br /> <br /> <br /> Artifact: Gungnir, base price 3000zm<br /> <br /> Base Item: Spear.<br /> <br /> Alignment: neutral.<br /> <br /> Properties:<br /> <br /> Grants the wielder automatic searching. +1d4 damage regardless of AC(penetration). 1/20 chance of performing a strike that prevents the target from spellcasting(including monster spell), regeneration or healing for 4 turns and does a draining attack(like stormbringer regular attack).<br /> <br /> Any random spear on the ground has a 1/20 chance of being made into Gungnir(the only spear artifact).<br /> <br /> A sacrifice of at least value 7 may give the player rustproof +0 Gungnir.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This is the main item I want to talk about, a probable spear artifact. I tested an implementation in nethack, but no special images...<br /> <br /> Two other unimportant non-serious ideas:<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Artifact: Whelm, base price 1000zm<br /> <br /> Base Item: War hammer (war hammer). A heavy, brutal hammer of black adamantine.<br /> <br /> Alignment: Chaotic.<br /> <br /> Properties:<br /> <br /> +d8 damage. Deals triple damage to dwarves (h), gnomes, and earth elementals. Against stone or metal doors, it is an auto-shatter(when thrown). -3 Dexterity when wielded.<br /> <br /> Grants =oWarning vs. dwarves and gnomes at a range of the entire level.<br /> <br /> Allows you to sense all treasure piles at distance of at most 4 tiles('treasure' is anything made of gemstone or gold)<br /> <br /> May be produced by naming any random war hammer Whelm.<br /> <br /> Any random war hammer on the ground has 1/20 chance of being an artifact, 1/3 chance of being each of the three war hammer artifacts.<br /> Source: D&amp;D's White Plume Mountain. The sentient warhammer of a dwarf-slaying giant.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Image:Whelm1.png|500px]]<br /> [[Image:Whelm2.png|500px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Artifact: Herugrim, base price 2000zm<br /> <br /> Base Item: Broad long sword (long sword).<br /> <br /> Alignment: Lawful. Embodies the defense of hearth and horse-land.<br /> <br /> Properties:<br /> <br /> +3 to-hit and +3 damage. Deals +1d12 bonus damage to any monster currently holding gold or gems (representing defending home/treasure from thieves).<br /> <br /> Grants warning when wielded.<br /> <br /> Weapon Resistance: Grants poison resistance (=oPR). The wielder gain +2 to AC.<br /> <br /> Special Ability: #ride checks are made with +5 bonus while carrying Herugrim. It allows you to #mount any peaceful horse you encounter automatically. Pacifies horses around you automatically.<br /> <br /> If trying to engrave Elbereth using this sword, it resists.<br /> <br /> Require sacrifice gift of at least value 6 to gain +0 rustproof Herugrim. Randomly generated long swords on the ground have 1/20 chance of being made into artifact, which would have 1/7 chance of any artifact long sword, including herugrim.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Image:Herugrim1.png|500px]]<br /> [[Image:Herugrim2.png|500px]]</div>
