'''Luck Blade''' is an [[artifact weapon]] that appears in [[UnNetHack]] and [[EvilHack]]. It is [[chaotic]]-aligned, and its base item is a [[broadsword]]. In EvilHack, it is made of [[steel]] instead of the default [[iron]].

==Generation==
A randomly-generated broadsword has a {{frac|20}} chance of being created as Luck Blade. It is the first guaranteed [[sacrifice gift]] for [[Convict]]s, and chaotic characters may receive Luck Blade as a sacrifice gift.

==Description==
Luck Blade has +1d5 [[to-hit]] and deals +1d6 damage versus all [[monster]]s. While carried, it functions as a [[luckstone]] of the same [[beatitude]].

==Strategy==
Luckblade's flat damage and to-hit bonuses make it a worthwhile early gift, especially for Convicts. As an early [[luck item]], it also provides a major boon even if it becomes outclassed as a weapon choice, although it remains a decent choice for [[twoweapon]]ing for a good while. Outside of a [[silver saber]], Luckblade may be preferable to most non-artifact weapons in this regard.

-Luck Blade is a decently worthwhile early gift for Convicts, and remains a decent option for [[twoweapon]]ing into the midgame - even once a Convict or other character finds a better weapon, Luck Blade may still work as a backup weapon and [[luck item]], though it is heavier than a standard [[luckstone]].
