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 [[Hits creatures as +x weapon|hit creatures as a +x weapon]].

==''Hits creatures as a +2 weapon''==
+
This property treats the monster's attacks as coming from a weapon of a certain enchantment, with the enchantment specified in the flag within that monster's entry in [[monst.c]] (e.g., <tt>MR_HITASONE</tt>, <tt>MR_HITASTWO</tt> and so on). The property is also intrinsic to monsters with "enchantment resistance": these monsters are not given a specific "hits as" flag, but implicitly hit monsters as the same enchantment of weapon that they resist{{refsrc|mhitm.c|1002|version=SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2}} - e.g., the [[Aleax]] has the <tt>MR_PLUSTWO</tt> flag but no <tt>MR_HITAS[[Foo|FOO]]</tt>, so Aleaxes require a +2 weapon or better to hit and hit as +2 weapons themselves.

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 enchantment specified in the flag within that monster's entry in monst.c (e.g., MR_HITASONE, MR_HITASTWO and so on). The property is also intrinsic to monsters with "enchantment resistance": these monsters are not given a specific "hits as" flag, but implicitly hit monsters 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.

Below is a list of monsters that hit as a certain 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
