SLASH'EM
SLASH'EM introduces the Deathsword, an additional artifact two-handed sword which is the second guaranteed sacrifice gift for barbarians and has +14 damage and +5 to-hit against humans. It is chaotic for wishing purposes, but would be a waste of a wish with all of the excellent chaotic SLASH'EM artifacts.
