A gold-bladed vibrozanbato is a type of charged slashing vibroweapon that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It is a huge-sized weapon that is two-handed for a medium-sized wielder, has a base material of silver and is considered to be a futuristic item. It appears as a curved black and gold sword when unidentified.
Generation
Anachrononauts start the game with knowledge of the gold-bladed vibrozanbato's identified appearance.
Gold-bladed vibrozanbatos are not randomly generated and cannot be wished for by a hero that isn't a Tourist, though they may still be found in bones.
For Androids, one gold-bladed vibrozanbato with a non-negative enchantment is scattered to a randomly chosen dungeon level between dungeon level 2 and the castle. Unlike normal item generation, a scattered item may be placed in a corridor, vault, closet and other places confined that are usually restricted from having items generate there.
Description
Gold-bladed vibrozanbatos inflict piercing and slashing damage and have a +2 to-hit bonus. When uncharged, they deal 1d16 damage against small monsters and 1d8+2d4 against large monsters. If the gold-bladed vibrozanbato is charged, it instead deals 2d16+8 against small monsters and 2d8+2d4+10 against large monsters. A gold-bladed vibrozanbato of larger or smaller size has its base damage dice similarly modified, always gaining an additional damage dice and half a dice as bonus damage versus small. Versus large, they gain another bonus damage dice, two bonus damage dice, and the sum of half of both a damage dice and two bonus dice as bonus damage. A normal sized hero that wields a gold-bladed vibrozanbato will gain 1.5x bonus strength damage of up to +12 per hit. When wielding a gold-bladed vibrozanbato at Skilled or better in two-handed sword, a hero gains the "fell", "cleave", and "long slash" expert traits. Swinging a gold-bladed vibrozanbato costs only 5⁄6 of the normal movement points to attack, costing 10 movement points as opposed to the 12 most weapons do.
Gold-bladed vibrozanbato will always be generated with the unholy object property. This object property will only come into effect if the weapon is cursed, however. Additionally, if the gold-bladed vibrozanbato is wielded while the hero below a 1⁄3 of their maximum hp, it gains a +20% base damage bonus.
A gold-bladed vibrozanbato is normally generated with 80 to 99 charges unless otherwise specified, and can be recharged any number of times. Recharging a gold-bladed vibrozanbato has different effects based on the beautitude of the charging source: blessed charging sets charges to 100, cursed charging sets charges to 10 and uncursed charging sets the charges to a number between 80 and 99.
A gold-bladed vibrozanbato that has its base material changed to something other than gold is transformed into a white vibrozanbato. Conversely, if a white vibrozanbato is dipped into a potion of midas or is otherwise made into gold, it will be transformed into a gold-bladed vibrozanbato. The gold-bladed vibrozanbato can't have its base material changed without also having its item type changed, unlike the white vibrozanbato.
In terms of monster weapon preference, monsters will prefer the gold-bladed vibrozanbato to a white vibrozanbato, and will prefer a kamerel vajra or cockatrice corpse to the gold-bladed vibrozanbato.
