"SLASH'EM players who want to wish for an instrument can ask for a "blessed frost horn"." Why Nethackers can't? Is there really a need to wish such a tool when there's more practical magical tonal instruments around, even worth for wishing for some classes. -Progo 15:18, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't get where the damage calculation comes from. Music.c#do_improvisation suggests that it's rn1(6,6). There's a define in hack.h that says rn1(x,y) is rn2(x)+(y). rnd.c says that rn2 is just rnd(x), which picks a number between 0 and x-1. Where's the mistake in my logic? That would suggest a max damage of just 5+6=11. Uck. -twinotter

The argument that's passed to buzz is the number of dice to roll – so rn1(6,6) will roll (6–11)d6 (or better (1d6+5)d6), hence maxing out at 66 damage. This perhaps ought to be clarified. —antalsz (talk) 04:26, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

I'm an idiot...

I found a horn and decided to improvise it. The beam of cold bounced off the wall and killed my level 1 character. Dx✑DemonSlayerThe3rd♠ 21:51, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
