The following can hit monsters with [[Need +x weapon to hit|enchantment resistance]], a new property in [[SLASH'EM]]. In general, monsters that are in some way magical have this property, as well as some monsters that are simply strong.

In [[SLASH'EM]] and [[SlashTHEM]], various monsters [[Need +x weapon to hit|require a weapon of a certain enchantment level to be hit]], also known as "enchantment resistance"; accompanying this [[property]] is the ability to '''hit creatures as a +x weapon'''. Most monsters with this ability are either those that possess significant strength or are magical in some manner.

This property treats the monster's attacks as coming from a weapon of a certain enchantment, with the exact level of enchantment governed by a set of flags describing what enchantment their attacks hit as (<tt>MR_HITASONE</tt>, <tt>MR_HITASTWO</tt> and so on). The property is also intrinsic to monsters with enchantment resistance as described above: monsters that are not given a specific <tt>MR_HITASFOO</tt> flag 'implicitly' hit as the same enchantment of weapon that they resist<ref>[[SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2/mhitm.c#line1002|SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2 mhitm.c, line 1002]]</ref> - e.g., the [[Aleax]] has the <tt>MR_PLUSTWO</tt> flag but no <tt>MR_HITASFOO</tt>, so Aleaxes require a +2 weapon or better to hit and hit as +2 weapons themselves.

[[You]] can gain this property by [[polymorph]]ing into such monsters, but this does not confer equivalent enchantment resistance.

Revision as of 21:05, 31 October 2022

In SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM, various monsters require a weapon of a certain enchantment level to be hit, also known as "enchantment resistance"; accompanying this property is the ability to hit creatures as a +x weapon. Most monsters with this ability are either those that possess significant strength or are magical in some manner.

This property treats the monster's attacks as coming from a weapon of a certain enchantment, with the exact level of enchantment governed by a set of flags describing what enchantment their attacks hit as (MR_HITASONE, MR_HITASTWO and so on). The property is also intrinsic to monsters with enchantment resistance as described above: monsters that are not given a specific MR_HITASFOO flag 'implicitly' hit as the same enchantment of weapon that they resist[1] - e.g., the Aleax has the MR_PLUSTWO flag but no MR_HITASFOO, so Aleaxes require a +2 weapon or better to hit and hit as +2 weapons themselves.

You can gain this property by polymorphing into such monsters, but this does not confer equivalent enchantment resistance.

Below is a list of monsters that hit as a particular enchantment of weapon - monsters with i next to their names have this property implicitly due to their enchantment resistance.

Hits creatures as a +1 weapon

Hits creatures as a +2 weapon

Hits creatures as a +3 weapon

Hits creatures as a +4 weapon
