A gladius is a type of one-handed weapon that appears in SpliceHack and Hack'EM.

Generation

Gladius are very rare in Hack'EM. They don't appear randomly in SpliceHack.

In either variant, skeletons can sometimes be generated with a gladius.

Strategy

A gladius is quite effective in it's damage against small monsters, but it lags behind the other short swords versus large monsters.

In Hack'EM it is possible to create one by #crafting a short sword and a broadsword together.

History

The gladius first appears in SpliceHack.

In SLASHTHEM, there is a neutral aligned artifact short sword called Gladius which is the first sacrifice gift for the gladiator role. It gives +8 to-hit and +7 damage in combat.
