Is there a possibility of weapons breaking? I know that if you force the lock of a chest or box with edged weapons, they can break. But recently, when I killed a dwarf I got the message 'The dwarf's broad short sword shatters from the force of your blow!' How is this possible? (If it makes a difference, that was the killing blow.) --206.75.108.8 01:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Two handed weapon bonus

Does attacking with two handed weapons give a damage bonus, other than as above? In DnD you would get +50% to your Strength bonus.--PeterGFin 04:17, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

No1 answered this guy, and I don't know the answer.

curved hook?

I recently found a curved hook. Didn't know what to do with it. Don't see it mentioned on wikihack. Was playing on alt.org/nethack/soiled.

 Is this someones code alteration or has wikihack neglected mention, or what?Slarty 18:48, July 1, 2010 (UTC)Slarty 18:49, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
