Spineseeker is an artifact weapon that appears in dNetHack and notdNetHack. It is chaotic-aligned, and its base item is a short sword.

Description

Spineseeker has +1 to-hit and deals +1d6 damage versus all monsters, and grants stealth while wielded. Spineseeker adds an extra die for sneak attacks and enables them for roles other than Rogues, and backstabs (which are defined based on the monster's previous movement) also gain an extra die - these extra dice are the size of the wielder's current experience level, and stack with the Rogue's existing sneak attack and backstab.
