General artifact changes
Many general behaviors of artifacts in NetHack have been changed for SLASH'EM:
- Artifacts in vanilla that inflict a random amount of extra damage (Excalibur for example) in SLASH'EM always inflict the maximum; the same is applied to to-hit bonuses as well. This makes them much more useful in general.
- Artifacts which do their damage against a particular type of monster (Sting for example) also have a 15% chance of cancelling said monsters.
- It is possible for roles to have more than one guaranteed artifact gift - these will always be given in the same order.
- It is possible to twoweapon two artifact weapons, which cannot be done in vanilla NetHack.
Some of the individual artifacts have been changed as well. For example, the Sceptre of Might now only inflicts +5 bonus damage on cross-aligned monsters, instead of double damage.
