Shade
Revision as of 21:19, 21 July 2007 by 24.148.129.192 (talk) (Enchanted weapons don't do crap against barrow wights, artifacts with a to-dam bonus do, however. Trust me, I tried an uncursed crysknife once. Was +6. It didn't take.)

A shade is an undead creature, created by black magic.
It cannot be harmed except with blessed or silver objects, or artifact weapons with a damage bonus. Orcus Town is the only place where shades appear. If you've got this far without an alternative, you can use the Bell of Opening as a silver weapon against them. Unarmed gloveless combat with a silver ring equipped can also work, as can unarmed combat with blessed gloves (although this is very slow.)
Shades can also move freely through solid rock, and can see invisible creatures.
