Talk:Electric sword

So, until just recently, I'd left these commented (combining for convenience here):

"In TNG, electric swords have a +d10 to-hit bonus against Q. As the only members of the Q monster class are the quantum mechanic and quagga, its advantage against them is not especially useful."

WAS it TNG that this applied to, or is this a SLEX-ism that THEM adopted pre-cleanup that I confused for being TNG-original...? I'm thinking of asking Amy about it. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 16:56, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Some quick grep-ping (or rather, less-ing) through the patch found here suggests it's the latter. I tried searching for various iterations and capitalizations of "electric" and "quantum" as well as looking at all the changes in uhitm.c, and it doesn't appear there's any special bonus like that. Moreover, the README for the game itself, when describing new items and their properties, notes that there is Nothing special about the electric sword. -Ion frigate (talk) 19:08, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Right, so probably something Amy came up with. Thanks for the confirmation, I'll probably still bug her about it anyway. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 19:17, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
