While this template is intended to be for artifacts that are not artifact weapons, many artifacts in these variants have applicable damage and to-hit bonuses due to their base item types being armor or jewelry for body parts that the hero can use in attacks—this covers helms for headbutt attacks; rings and gloves for unarmed combat (e.g. bare hands and martial arts), and/or for similar attacks such as claw attacks; and boots for kick attacks. Additionally, some artifacts are capable of having their base items changed, either through their own innate abilities or by a hero performing a specific action, e.g. naming an artifact or reshaping it at a forge. With this in mind, the template for artifact weapons in these variants is located at {{dNetHack artifact weapon}}.
