A '''set of crow talons''' is a type of [[dagger]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notnotdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]]. It is a [[Item size (dNetHack)|small]] slashing weapon that has a [[Object materials (dNetHack)|base-material]] of [[metal]]. It appears as a '''set of three feather-etched daggers''' when [[identification|unidentified]].

For [[Noble]] [[Half-dragon (starting race)|Half-dragon]]s, the artifacts [[Fire brand]] and [[Frost brand]] may be reshaped into a sets of crow talons by dipping them into a [[forge (dNetHack)|forge]]s and [[fountain]]s, respectively. A [[mercurial]] set of crow talons can be named [[The Sky Reflected]] and merged into [[The Amalgamated Skies]] while retaining its special [[study]] effects.

==Generation==
Sets of crow talons do not randomly generate, but may be [[wish]]ed for.

[[Corvian knight]]s may be generated with various sets of weapons, some of which include sets of crow talons:
* 2 sets of crow talons with a {{frac|8}} chance.
* A [[crow quill]] and a set of crow talons with a {{frac|8}} chance.
* A [[freezing]] metal [[rapier (dNetHack)|rapier]] and a set of crow talons.

[[Dao lao gui monk]]s have a {{frac|7}} of being generated with a set of crow talons, with a {{frac|4}} chance of being generated with an [[enchantment]] ranging from +0 to +4 and a separate {{frac|50}} of being given an [[object property]], each with a {{frac|3}} chance: [[anarchic]], [[holy]] or [[unholy]].

==Description==
At Skilled and Expert [[skill]], sets of crow talons gain the [[second]] and [[bleed]] [[expert trait]]s.

The sets of crow talons are [[multistriking]] weapons, causing any melee attack with a set of crow talons to perform 3 separate attacks at once: any effects such as [[object properties]] and [[poison]] will be applied again individually for each hit. These attacks also inflict 3 stacks of [[study]] on the target per hit, for 9 study if all of them hit, observable by [[applying]] a [[stethoscope]].

A set of crow talons wielded as the main weapon gains full [[dexterity]] damage bonus of {{sfrac|(DEX - 10)|2}} rounded down, except at 25, where it instead gains +8. They only receive halved [[strength]] bonus damage, for at most +4 at 25.

Sets of crow talons count as [[monk weapon]]s, and can be used to perform [[mystic moves]] even while wielding them. All [[monk]]s start the game with knowledge of the set of crow talon's identified appearance. Hitting with a set of crow talons gives monks full [[base attack bonus]].

==Origin==
The [https://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Crow+Talons set of crow talons] is a claw weapon that appears in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Souls_III#Ashes_of_Ariandel Ashes of Ariandel] DLC for the 2016 game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Souls_III Dark Souls III]. Its description states: "Talons used by Corvian Knights. Inflicts five perpendicular slashes, causing heavy bleeding. In their infatuation with Sister Friede, the Corvian Knights swore to protect the painting from fire and to this end, too to the execution of their own brethren."
