This article is about the artifact in the original Convict patch and DynaHack. For other versions, see Luckblade.

Luck Blade is an artifact weapon that appears in the original Convict patch, and also appears unaltered in DynaHack and older versions of UnNetHack that integrate the role. It is chaotic-aligned, and its base item is a broadsword.

Generation

A randomly-generated broadsword has a 120 chance of being created as Luck Blade. It is the first guaranteed sacrifice gift for Convicts, and chaotic characters may receive Luck Blade as a sacrifice gift.

Description

Luck Blade has +1d5 to-hit and deals +1d6 damage versus all monsters. While carried, it functions as a luckstone of the same beatitude.

Strategy

Luck Blade is a decent first weapon for Convicts and other chaotic characters, and can also act as an early luck item, though it is much heavier than a luckstone. Fortunately for Convicts in particular, it is also an intelligent artifact, giving it a 45 chance of resisting most item-cursing effects.
