{{for|the artifact in other variants|Lifestealer}}
'''Lifestealer''' is an [[artifact]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. Its alignment is [[chaotic]], and its [[base item]] is a [[two-handed sword]].

==Generation==
Lifestealer cannot be randomly generated or [[wish]]ed for, and will always revert to its base item when left in [[bones]].

[[Vlad the Impaler]] is guaranteed to be generated with the cursed and [[erosion]]-proof Lifestealer when generated at the top of [[Vlad's Tower (EvilHack)|his tower]], and the artifact's [[enchantment]] will range from +1 to +3.

Due to its method of generation, Lifestealer does not increase the [[artifact]] count for purposes of wishing.

==Description==
While wielded, Lifestealer grants [[drain resistance]] and has +1d5 [[to-hit]] and +1d2 damage bonuses against monsters without drain resistance: similar to [[Stormbringer]], it will also [[drain life]] from a non-resistant target and reduce their level by 1, and further lowers their current and maximum HP by 1d8.

==Strategy==
Drain resistance is much more important to deal with Vlad and his Lifestealer.
