Luckblade is an artifact weapon that appears in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM. It is neutral-aligned and favors gnomes, and its base item is a short sword.
Contents
Generation
A randomly-generated short sword has a 1⁄20 chance of being created as Luckblade. Neutral characters may receive Luckblade as a sacrifice gift.
Description
Luckblade has +5 to-hit and deals +5 damage versus all monsters. While carried, it functions as a luck item.
Strategy
Luckblade's flat damage bonus against all monsters makes it a powerful weapon early on; combined with its luck enhancement, this makes it one of the best first sacrifice gifts for a neutral character. Later on, it remains a respectable choice for twoweaponing, which SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM allows for artifacts.
History
In SLASH 6 and other predecessors to SLASH'EM, Luckblade serves as a guaranteed first sacrifice gift for the now-defunct Gnome role.
