The Stake of Van Helsing
Revision as of 04:01, 26 March 2007 by 68.50.39.29 (talk)
The Stake of Van Helsing is the Undead Slayer quest artifact in Slash'EM. It is lawful for wishing purposes. Its base item type is a wooden stake. The name of the Stake is a reference to Abraham Van Helsing.
Simply carrying it confers Magic resistance. Wielding it as a weapon will automatically add +5 to hit and +12 damage against monsters.
Wielding it against a vampire gives a 10% chance of instantly killing the creature ("You plunge your stake into the heart of <vampire>"). Otherwise, it still does 2 + d6 extra damage ("You drive your stake into <vampire>").
