Grenade

Frag grenades are an item in SLASH'EM. They are mostly found on soldiers of varying ranks (but not captains).

Grenades do fire damage that can degrade organic armor and destroy scrolls and potions. The explosion of a grenade on its own will create a blast radius, a 3 x 3 square (the same form as a fireball) centered on the grenade's landing point. Multiple grenades exploding on the same square may produce a larger blast radius. Also note that exploding grenades destroy bullets lying on the ground.

Grenades will become armed when they are thrown or applied. An armed grenade will separate out from its stack and appear with the designation (armed) in an inventory list. A grenade will explode one to six turns after having being armed. Cursed grenades may not arm properly when thrown or applied. Armed grenades can be kicked or picked up and thrown at other targets. Grenades launched from a grenade launcher will explode on impact. The impact of a grenade always does 1-2 points of damage prior to the explosion.

Throwing a grenade into water, then seeing it explode causes the message: "You see a plume of water shoot up". If by some way you are fast enough to arm a grenade, drop it in a pit and fill the pit with a boulder, you will "hear a muffled explosion". This message is also shown when a frag grenade explodes in a container.

If you arm a grenade, stacked in your inventory, the whole stack will become armed.
