&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]], the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;toustefna stave&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a [[ward]] which [[scare]]s {{white|d}} {{monclasslink|d}} and {{white|f}} {{monclasslink|f}}.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Generation==&lt;br /&gt;
{{frac|400}} of all wooden weapons are generated with a toustefna stave carving. Wood weapons engraved with a toustefna stave cannot be [[wish]]ed for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Troubadour]]s and [[Dwarf (starting race)|dwarf]] [[hero]]s both start the game with knowledge of the toustefna stave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toustefna staves only appear in spellbooks of level 3 and above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
rand-item: 1/100 -&amp;gt; 1/4 -&amp;gt; 1/400&lt;br /&gt;
lvl3: 2/3 * 1/2 * 1/4 = 2/24 = 1/12&lt;br /&gt;
lvl4: 3/4 * 8/9 * 7/8 * 5/6 * 4/5 * 1/4 = 7/72&lt;br /&gt;
lvl5: 3/4 * 2/3 * 7/8 * 6/7 * 5/6 * 4/5 * 1/4 = 1/16&lt;br /&gt;
lvl6: 2/3 * 5/6 * 7/8 * 6/7 * 5/6 * 4/5 * 1/4 = 5/72&lt;br /&gt;
lvl7: 0&lt;br /&gt;
--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The odds of a spellbook containing a toustefna stave are:&lt;br /&gt;
* Level 3 spellbooks: {{frac|12}} (~8.33%) chance.&lt;br /&gt;
* Level 4 spellbooks: {{frac|7|72}} (~9.72%) chance.&lt;br /&gt;
* Level 5 spellbooks: {{frac|16}} (6.25%) chance.&lt;br /&gt;
