Lead

Lead is a form of material that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack as part of its object materials system.

Description

Lead is a hard and metallic material that has ³⁄₂ times the weight of iron. Items made of lead cost around half as much as their iron counterparts, and cannot be eroded. For weapons, being made of lead applies a +2 die size bonus for that weapon's base blunt damage, and applies a -2 die size penalty for piercing or slashing weapons—the penalties do not stack for a lead weapon that deals both piercing and slashing damage, though it can cancel out the bonus if the weapon deals blunt damage and either piercing or slashing damage.
