'''Spineseeker''' is an [[artifact weapon]] that appears in [[SlashTHEM]]. It is [[chaotic]]-aligned, and its [[base item]] is a [[stiletto]]. It deals a flat extra 5 damage against all monsters, with a 20% chance of dealing an extra 1d5 damage and [[stunning]] the target for 1d5 rounds. A successful proc is indicated by the message '''"The gleaming blade cuts into <monster>'s <spine>"'''.

==Strategy==
While the overall damage of '''Spineseeker''' is fairly low, the 20% chance of stunning the target is pretty high which means there is a chance you can permanently freeze an enemy while you pummel it to death. This all makes it a pretty attractive off-hand weapon for #[[Twoweapon|two-weaponing]].

===Average damage calculation===
The average damage calculations in the following table do not include bonuses from [[Skill|weapon skills]], [[strength]], or from using a [[blessed]] weapon against [[undead]] or [[demon]]s.
