Trollsbane is an artifact weapon that does double damage and +1d5 to-hit against trolls. Most players agree that it is essentially useless, for several reasons:
- It is effective only on trolls, a very small group of total monsters.
- It uses the morning star weapon skill, which you are not likely to use for anything else, as it is not a particularly good weapon and there are no other artifact morning stars.
- Even against trolls, it only does an average damage of 9. By comparison, the +0 Excalibur does 14 average damage and is considerably easier to get (at least for lawful characters).
SporkHack
In SporkHack it has been dramatically improved. It grants hungerless regeneration while wielded, deals +d4 bonus damage to all monsters and has a 50% chance to instantly destroy trolls on a successful hit. It's still not particularly good, but it's at least worth keeping around now.
UnNetHack
In UnNetHack it grants hungerless regeneration while wielded and has a 1/6 chance to cancel trolls on a successful hit thus preventing the troll corpse from reviving.
