The Banes are a group of artifact weapons, notable in that they do double damage to a specific group of monsters. They are generally considered to be worthless for most purposes, since they reduce the probability of receiving a more useful artifact. Despite its name, Magicbane is not included, for a couple of reasons: it has no double damage bonus, and it is actually useful.
Contents
Demonbane
This lawful long sword deals double damage against all demons, as well as has +d5 to hit them. The Demonbane does not do any better than a regular long sword against the Riders, the mail daemon, sandestins, or djinni.
Dragonbane
This unaligned broadsword deals double damage against all dragons, as well as has +d5 to hit them.
Giantslayer
This neutral long sword does +d5 to hit and double damage against all H, giant mummies, zombies, but not ettins or titans.
Ogresmasher
This unaligned war hammer confers +d5 to hit and double damage against ogres.
Sting
This chaotic elven dagger provides +d5 to hit, and does double damage to orcs and no other species; it will do its damage to orc mummies and zombies, though. It also provides the warning intrinsic against orcs, and cuts through spider-webs.
Orcrist
Big brother to Sting, this elven broadsword is chaotically aligned, and gives a +d5 to hit and double damage only against orcs. Sting and Orcrist may be created by #name'ing a single elven dagger or broadsword.
Trollsbane
This does double damage to all T, troll mummies, and troll zombies, and +d5 to-hit.
Werebane
This is an unaligned silver saber. It does double damage against all were-creatures as well as +d5 to hit. However, it is slightly more useful than the other banes in that when wielded, it protects you from lycanthropy.
