The chakram is a small and stackable weapon that is can be either thrown or used in melee (where it is one-handed for a medium-sized wielder), and uses the boomerang skill. It has a base material of silver, and appears as a circular blade when unidentified.
The Annulus is an artifact chakram that can change shapes, and is the quest artifact for Anachrononauts and Androids.
Generation
All Monks start the game with knowledge of the chakram's identified appearance.
Chakrams make up 3⁄500 (0.6%) of all weapons that are randomly generated on the ground, in general shops or as death drops. Used armor dealerships and antique weapon outlets can also stock chakrams.
The arrow rain monster spell has a base 1⁄33 chance of generating up to 16 uncursed +0 chakrams and firing them at the target. They will also have the excoriating object property applied to them if the spell is cast by the Suzerain or the Voice-In-Screams.
The artifacts Fire Brand and Frost Brand can be generated, wished for or gifted in chakram form, and can be reshaped into a chakram by dipping the chosen artifact into a forge or fountain respectively—this reshaping requires the hero to either have a chakram in their inventory or be at least Skilled in boomerangs.
Chakrams have a base 1⁄22 chance of being generated inside the chest within magic item vaults that appear in the Avatar of Lolth's lair, if it appears as the second Abyss level. These chakrams have a high chance of being generated with high enchantment and additional object properties.
Chakrams have a base 1⁄28 chance of being generated inside Jrt Netjer hell vaults.
White intoners are always generated with a huge +4 metal axiomatic chakram, and each intoner has a 1⁄6 chance of generating as white.
Description
At Skilled and Expert skill, chakrams gain the focus fire expert trait. The chakram is primarily a slashing weapon that flies in a full circular arc when thrown or fired, and receives multishot bonuses from the hero's skill.
Chakrams count as "monk weapons" and give Monks a full base attack bonus of +1 to-hit per experience level when they hit, and they can be used to perform mystic moves even while wielding them.
