Description
Being a prince has the following effects:
- A prince that can wield weapons and has no special rules for its species is much more likely to receive a weapon.[1]
- When throwing projectiles, a prince gets a +2 multishot bonus.[2]
- A prince's weapon will always be at least +1, and its armor will be at least +0.[3] Note that their equipment still has the usual chance of being cursed.
- Demon summoning by same-race sacrifice cannot summon a demon prince. Only demon lords and princes can summon demon princes with their melee attacks.
- Sitting on a throne with no effect produces a different message, namely "You feel very comfortable here" instead of "You feel somehow out of place..."; this is purely cosmetic - the tangible effects of sitting on a throne are unchanged.
