Lifestealer is an artifact that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. Its alignment is chaotic, and its base item is a two-handed sword.

Generation

Lifestealer cannot be randomly generated or wished for, and will always revert to its base item when left in bones.

Vlad the Impaler is guaranteed to be generated with the cursed and erosion-proof Lifestealer when generated on the top floor of his tower, and the artifact's enchantment will range from +1 to +3.

Description

While wielded, Lifestealer grants drain resistance and has +1d5 to-hit and +1d2 damage bonuses against monsters without drain resistance: similar to Stormbringer, it will also drain life from a non-resistant target and reduce their level by 1, and lowers their current and maximum HP accordingly (with the default value being 1d8). Lifestealer is immune to the effects of the drain life spell.

Strategy

Drain resistance is much more important to deal with Vlad and his Lifestealer.
