<p>created page.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]], the &#039;&#039;&#039;veioistafur stave&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[ward]] which [[scare]]s {{white|;}} {{monclasslink|;}}. Unlike regular wards, staves must be carved with a edged weapon into another weapon, which must be made of wood. A veioistafur stave carved weapon must be dropped on the [[floor]] at the hero&#039;s feet to ward off monsters. The veioistafur stave takes 5 turns, and cannot be reinforced further. A weapon carved with a veioistafur stave gains +4 to hit and +1d20 damage against sea monsters.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Icelandic_Magical_Stave_veidistafur.svg|Veioistafur stave|280px|border]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Generation==<br /> {{frac|400}} of all wooden weapons are generated with a veioistafur stave carving.
