An odachi is a type of weapon that appears in dNetHack, notnotdNetHack, and notnotdNetHack. The odachi is a huge melee weapon that is two-handed for a medium-sized wielder, and uses the long sword skill. It has a base material of iron, and appears as a long samurai sword when unidentified.
Tensa Zangetsu and The Mortal Blade are both artifact odachi.
Generation
Odachi are not randomly generated, although they may be wished for or found in bones.
The artifacts Fire Brand and Frost Brand can only be wished for or gifted in odachi form for a Samurai, and only Samurai can reshape the Brands into odachi by dipping the chosen artifact into a forge or fountain respectively—this reshaping requires the hero to either have an odachi in their inventory or be at least Skilled in long swords.
Description
A hero that wields an odachi as a two-handed weapon gains a doubled damage bonus from their strength, while an odachi that is made small in size or lower, or else is wielded by a hero of large or greater size, will only gain a 1.5x bonus from strength (up to +12). A hero that wields an odachi while at Skilled or better in long swords gains the "hew", "graze" and "long slash" expert traits.
Lawful Yuki-onna Kensei can use nagamaki to perform kensei moves, while a Samurai wielding a nagamaki can perform shattering blows.
