Dirge is an artifact that appears in SlashTHEM. It is chaotic-aligned and intelligent, and its base item is a short sword.

Generation

A short sword randomly generated on the ground, in a shop or as a death drop has a base ¹⁄₂₀ chance of being made into Dirge if no artifact short swords have been generated.

Dirge is the first guaranteed sacrifice gift for a chaotic Knight, and any other chaotic hero may receive Dirge via sacrifice after their first gift.

Description

While wielded, Dirge grants poison resistance and has +5 to-hit and double damage bonuses against monsters without poison resistance: it also deals poison damage, which has a ¹⁄₁₀ chance of being fatal and otherwise deals +1d6 damage against a non-resistant monster.
