Puddingbane is a nickname for a -3 small iron weapon (normally a dagger, orcish dagger, or knife). Its damage is always just 1.
Contents
Uses
It is used to split puddings for pudding farming while doing the minimum possible damage; it can kill them, but it will split them a lot first. Another use is to help maintain pacifist conduct. You can also use it to kill Vlad(Vladbane).
Creation
A puddingbane can be created by engraving with it to reduce enchantment to -3. An enchantment of less than -3 is not needed for a dagger or knife, but a bigger weapon would have needed some cursed scrolls of enchant weapon.
Mechanics
Any damage roll of 1 after enchantment will not add strength, so with a -3 (or more) dagger or knife, it doesn't matter how high strength is, the damage will still always be 1. Corroding is optional.
Any non-weapon iron item, such as a key, will do d2 damage (if corroded min of 1) plus any bonus to damage from strength of 16 or more or rings of increase damage. For farming or pacifism, this is not as good as a -3 dagger or knife that will always do 1 point of damage no matter what your damage bonus. However, it will preserve weaponless conduct.
