The severed hand is the base item for the Hand of Vecna.
Contents
Generation
Severed hands are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for or found in bones, including those containing the Hand of Vecna.
Description
Eating a severed hand grants 40 nutrition and takes one turn—attempting to do so will produce a warning prompt asking the player if they are sure they want to, a trait shared with the eyeball.[1]
The severed hand has no base cost in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM. In Hack'EM, the item has a base cost of 200 zm.
Strategy
Severed hands are not of much use as food due to their minimal nutrition, though eating them does not inflict severe damage as ingesting the artifact severed hands would (despite the warning prompt still occurring when you do so).[1] Their rarity may make them enticing keepsakes for certain players.
